The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-06-21
The Class of 1854.

It was graduated half a century ago-in pre-
historic times, SO it seems to the class of the cur
rent year. But in 1854 a group of young men
stood on the threshold, looking out into the I'M
known. This month they are old men,-those who
have survived,-and instead of looking forward
their eyes are on the past, ~wistfully, maybe, and
now and then dimmed with tears.
The dreams of their youth, where are they now2
The young lawyer was going to end his days on
the Supreme Court bench, but somehow things
we're ordered differently. The young preacher
hoped by his eloquence to sway miltitudes in the
city, but he has kept only a handful in the coun-
try true to their heavenly vision. The physician
planned to manage a hospital, but it has turned
out that it's wards have been a countryside.
On the other hand, the youth who was going
back to the farm, who was, regarded by his class
mates as a humdrum fellow destined to live and
die obscure, is now a conspicuous leader in Con-
gress.
There is probably not one in all that class
whose life has been ordered even approximately
as he had dreamed. This does not mean that the
men have not succeeded. Some of them have
succeeded far more abundantly than they expect
ed, but in a different way. What a man of seventy
regards as success is usually a more gentle and
human and kindly thing than that which youth
calls by that name.
The class of 1904 will doubtless have a history
similar to that of its half-century-old predecessor.
1t may not be improbable for it's members to
think, a moment or two at least, of the old men
holding reunions this month, and strive to get
some of the tolerance and charity that character
ize those who have travelled so far on the road that
leads from the college door.-Youth's Companion.

THE MORAL EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.
The Great Philosopher, Herbert Spencer, on a Matter
of Vital Concern to all Parents.
Selections nom Herbert spencer's Education" arranged es-
pecially for The Progressive Farmer.
IN TWO PARTs-PART II.
IN TWO PARrs-PART III.

Be sparing of commands. Command only in
those cases in which other means are inapplicable,
or have failed. "In frequent orders the parents
advantage is more considered than the child's,"
says Richter. AS in primitive societies a breach of
law is punished, not so much because it is intrinsi-
caIly wrong as because it is a disregard of the
kings authority-a rebellion against him; so, III
many families, the penalty visited on a transgres-
sor proceeds less from Reproduction of the offense
than from anger at the disobedience. Listen to
the ordinary speeches-"How dare you disobey
meW "I tell you I'll make you do it, sir" "PH
soon teach you who is master p-and then consid-
er what the words, the tone, and the manner imply.
A determination to subjugate is much more con-
spicuous in them than an anxiety for the childs
~@elfarc. For the time being the attitude of mind
differs, hut little from that of the despot bent on
Furnishing a rscalcitrant subject. The right-feel-
ing parent, however, like the philanthropic legisla-
tor, will not rejoice in coercion, but will rejoice
in dispensing with coercion. He will do without
law in all cases where other modes of regulating
conduct can be successfully employed; and he will
regret the having recourse to law when it is neces-
sary. As Richter remarks: "The best rule in
politics is said to be pas trop gouvener; it is also
true in education" And in spontaneous conform
ity with this maxim, parents whose lust of domin-
ion is restrained by a true sense of duty will aim
to make their children control themselves where
ever it is possible, and will fall back upon absolu-
tism only as a last resort.
But whenever you do command, command with
decision and consistency. If the case is one which
really cannot be otherwise dealt with, then issue
your fiat, and having issued it, never afterward
swerve from it. Consider well beforehand what
you are going to do; weigh all the consequences,
think whether your frmness of purpose will be
sufficient, and then, if you finally make the law,
enforce it uniformly at whatever cost. Let your
penalties be like the penalties inflicted by mani
mate nature-inevitable. The hot cinder burns
a child the first time he seizes it; it burns him
the second time; it burns him the third time;
it burns him every time; and he very soon learns
not to touch the hot cinder. If you are equally
consistent-if the consequences which you tell
your child will follow certain acts, follow with
like uniformity, he will soon come to respect your
laws as he does those of nature. And this respect
once established will prevent endless domestic
evils. Of errors in education one of the worst is
that of inconsistency. AS in a community, crimes

A Complicated Relationship.

A lawyer received a new client the other day, a
big man named Frazier, who wanted to sue to re-
cover $500 advanced on a note and not repaid.
"Who is the clientw asked the lawyer.
"Oh, she's a relation of mine"
GLOW nearly relatedg'

"But, my dear SIR" persisted the lawyer, "you
must be more explicit"
"Well, she may be my mother-inlaw."
"May be? Then you are likely to marry her
daughters"
Give already married the daughter"
ooh, then, of course the defendant is your
mother-inlaw2"
ct guess you'd better hear the whole story"
said the man named Frazier.
He heaved a weary sigh and then went on:
"You see, a year ago we lived together, my son
Bill and I. Across the way lived the widow Eos
ter and her daughter Mary. Well, sir, [ married
Mary because she was good-looking. Ny son Bill
married the widow because she had heaps of
money. Now, perhaps you can tell me whether
the old lady is my mother-inlaw or my daughter
in-law."
But the lawyer couldn't-at least, not just then.
The problem had struck him all in a heap. He
looked wild-eyed and his brain was reeling.
perhaps, when you've settled that question
you'll undertake my suit" Frazier added. "The
old lady borrowed the money fair and square, and
she can pay it back; but she won't, so I've got to
sue"
I'll don't think I'll take your case" faltered
the lawyer. "The case-zer-er presents too many
complications"
"By the way" said Frazier, disappointedly, as
he took up his hat and prenared to go, "since the
double wedding a child has been born to each
couple. Can you tell me what relation the two

THE HOME CIRCLE
The PineG.<

AS some vast militant array, the pines,
In dense brigade, and thin. far-scouting band,
Fling wide across the desolated land
Their solemn. stately, onward-sweeping lines,
Near crumbling halls where the poison ivy twines;
By broken cabins, sentry-like, they stand;-
I'm trenches once with tiger-spirits manned;
Der slave and master meath the forgetful vines.
They symbolic the great renascent South!
By tempest planted in the rocky veins
OF ruined fields ON hills scanned by the rains,
They strike down through the dearth their fbres
keen;
And, titled by the frost and nourished by the
drouth,
Mantle the waste with an eternal green.
Henry Jerome Stockard.
