Educational Notes.

MONEYS Foundation Studies in
Literature and Roark's Methods of Ed
ucation are the reading circle books to
be read during the coming year. Every
teacher in the county is expected to
read these books. They constitute part
Of the professional work required. They
can he obtained at the county book
store for 80 centseach.
The State Board Of Education is
determined to raise the standard for
teachers certificates. Examinations
are getting harder each year. The
teacher must make preparation for her
work. This will give us stronger and
better teachers and they will not use
the profession as mrre stepping stone
to something higher.
The school room SHOULD always be
neat and attractive. A better interest
can be obtained when the walls are
kept in good. repair, clean, and decorat-
ed with beautiful pictures. The pupil
feels that it is more homelike and he is
usually willing to assist the teacher in
decorating or keeping the room clran
and neat. .Cobwebs should not be al
lowed to accumulate in the corners and
windows. The floor should be well
swept and tho ventilation good. BY
looking after these little things the
teacher can make her work more Of a
success.
The executive committee Of the county
J teachers association will meet at the
SUI erintendpnts' Office Saturda,, Sept
3, to arrange for meetings of the associa
ton and to establish the teachers
\ library
School district clerks are requested t.
send in report Of op"ning of school i'm
mediately.
Teachers should enroll at once a
members Of the library association II
order that the committee may purchas
books and open the library.
/ School libraries should be establishes
IN every district in the county.
Thoroughness is one of the element
of success. Teachers should make goo
p.eparation for their work. A teache
cannot teach correctly who does nc
understand thoroughly.

Agriculture in Rural Schools.

The Board of Education of one
of the prominent Indiana counties
has taken wise and practical step in
determining to teach agriculture as
one of the courses in rural schools.
The notion that the best farming
comes without any special education
or training on the subject is one of
the old fogy ideas that was exploded
long ago. Experience has demon
strated that the average farmer has
almost everything to learn about
chemistry of the soil, its fitness for
certain crops, the best treatment of
the land and even the best methods
of cultivation of the crops most COM
monty planted. Scientific farming
has proved success, and if this were
not true the proper thing to do would
be to discontinue our agricultural de-
partmeht, abolish the experiment
stations and call in all the experts
who are operating to develop new
fruits, flowers, vegetables and ami
mails, as all this is done along
scientific lines.
The movement away from the
farms to the cities has been very
marked since 1880, or thereabouts,
but the trolley line and rural mail
delivery, bringing the farm into
closer touch with the daily activity
of the world, are proving powerful
factors in checking this tendency,
and it seems not unlikely that the
next census will show that the tide
has turned back toward country life,
not merely among those who can
afford country residence as a luxury,
but also among those that must earn
livelihood have ,lere being wher-
ever their 'aily work may lie.
1t is not good that people should
get too far from the soil that nour-
ishes them. There is about the
farm a freedom that breeds inde-
pendence and chain of necessities
that breeds resourcefulness and self
reliance, qualities that have been and
still are strongly marked character
istics of the American people, but at
the same time qualities that urban
life has tendency to undermine.
Twenty years ago the conditions on
the farm were such as to make the
city attractive by contrast. Igno-
rance of the best methods of farm
ing was in large measure responsible
for poor returns from the soil, though
there were, of course, many other
contributing factors to the agricultu-
raj depression. But that situation is
now changed very materially. There
are few vocations more profitable
just now than farming, and this is
therefore the time to add to the at
tractiveness of the farm by teaching
the farmers son the intelligent
methods of scientific agriculture

webs,srs Blue Back Spelling Book.

1t may strike some persons as a
rather remarkable fact that the Web
ster spelling book, with its familiar
blue cover, has sold up to date about
seventy millions of copies. The
spelling book is no more in vogue in
this section, where we have taken
over all of the many fads of modern
pedagogy, along with some that are
vital and measureably permanent.
The spelling book no longer has the
curriculum it once had. There are
no more spelling bees, no more spell
ing down in the class. In its place
children write out laboriously the
words selected for their lesson.
Whether they spell better than this
generation we do not know, but if
our own experience is of any value
they do not.
Is there man or woman of forty
in the country who does not remem-
ber the thrill which followed in turn
ing over the last page of monosylla-
bles, ending, we think, with sax"
and beginning the new entry into
learning with the magic word
shaker" That indeed was,an event
in millions of lives, and though we
must admit that teachers of that age
had no conception of the relation be-
tween the infantile "percept and it's
collateral concept" they produced
race of young men andJ women
who could spell and cipher and read.
We do not claim that it was all of
education to learn these three things.
We do not deny that the modern
curricula have many more advan-
tageous items than the older genera
tion was favored with.
We do think that there is a lack
of interest in photography which
ought not to exist in these days of
typewriting machines. Many man
has escaped censure by writing OBJ
scurely with his pen, but with the
machines, which are destined to do
away with penmanship, there is no
recourse except to practice and the
old spelling book.
So far there have been issued over
seventy millions of the Webster
spelling book, and its popularity is
still on the increase. 1t is true that
the most of the circulation is in the
South, where they are glad to get
anything that is cheap and good, but
the fact that the elemental in educa-
tion survives has an instructive value.
Noah Webster never made cent,
we are told, on his dictionary, but
his family have made fortunes on the
spelling book. That ought to give
some food for thought to the philoso-
piers who think that education be-
gan about ten years ago.-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

What a Boil weesll Looks Like.

which has been source of great
concern to Southern farmers on ac-
count of the devastation it has
wrought in Texas, have been brought
to Union county, preserved in alco-
mol by J. B. Williams, son of j. H.
Williams, of this city, who has been
a resident of Texas for the past IL
years and is now on visit here.
: These are shown in the several
stages of growth, from the little
white worm to the grey winged in
sect and then the full grown weevil,
which is about / or j of an inch
long and dark brown. 1t has long
bill something like mosquito, and
on either side of this are feeders
much like crawfsh with little
feelers or claws to soften the rough
surface of the bud.
Strange to say, though it is termed
the boil weevil, it does not feed on
the boil at all, but on the square of the
cotton bloom which it punctures
with its bill. When it has fed suffi-
ciently and deposited an egg, it goes
to another square for its next meal
and thus from stalk to stalk and
from lower to higher branches, as the
season advances, the work of de-
struction goes on, the ohuck of the
square turning yellow and then drop
ping off the third day after being
punctured and within to II days
full grown weevil develops from the
egg deposited. Etymologists say
that pair of these weevils will mul-
tiply to 100000 during one season.
They do not puncture the same
square twice nor molest the stalk un-
less food is very scarce.
In the hot sun the life Of weevil
is about ten or twelve days. While
during the winter the insects hiber-
nate much as do wasps under the
bark of old trees and elsewhere, but
they are always ready for the cotton
squares by the next summer. Though
they have wings they seldom fly and
are never seen in swarms. They
seem to travel with the wind, which
in Texas is in a northwesterly direc-
ton, and if going from field to field
move in the cool of the evening or
morning.
So thoroughly do they destroy the
fruit of the cotton that in some Sec
tions during the month of August,
when the fields should be white with
blooms in the mornings and red in
the evenings, there is nothing but
vast field of luxuriant green plants.
1t is no wonder that such menace
to the farming interes of that vast
territory has been studied by G, oerts
for the past five years, that the
United States government has re-
Gently appropriated $250,OOO with
which to experiment on an extermi-
nator for these little pests.
The ant imported four weeks ago
from Guatemala and believed to feed
entirely on the weevils, has probably
not yet been thoroughly tested, and
so far there has been but one report
as to the results of the experiment.
