only. but for eternity. The soul,
perhaps, lived before it came to this
earth. VIM. Wordsworth said, ''Our
birth is buta sleep and forgetting"
His explanation of this was beauti-
full and eDobling. The teachers
must be able to see with the minds
eye) the child, to be taught even
though it be housed in a house of
flesh and blood, aud never loose
sight of it in all his teachings or he
is just as liable to mar as to improve
the child.
The secret of success is the con-
centration of energy and faculties
upon one thing. He illustrated
this by two rivers, each starting from
the high mountain aud coming with
equal force to the level bottom. the
one spreading out and making only a
poisonous march, while the other
kept on in a channel and became a
mighty river with many cities along
its banks.
Teach people to concentrate the
mind and they will succeed. 1t
must be done by patience, skill, tast,
gontleness, and sympathy,
Enthusiasm is Indispensable. No
tea cher can succeed without it or fail

it.

PROFESSOR CHAPMAN
AN IDEAL INSTRUCTOR.

The Crittenden County Teachers
Institute is now in session, and tn,
lookout is for one of the most usefu
meeting that has been held in tn,
county for years.
The organization was effected by
the election os The following officers
M. +. Pogue, President +. Z,
Phillips, Vice-President Miss Flor.
ence Harris, Secretary; and Miss
Willie Clement, Assistant Secretary.
Ourefhcient Superintendent J. b.
Paris was fortunate in securing the
service OF a most able instructor. in
the person of Prof. Geo. W. Chap

lucky City Schools.
The teachers are delighted with
MIR. Chapman, and evInce a deep in

coupled with the corporation of the
teachers insures a business like an

ton.
Our impression Of Prof. Chapman
IN his work here is, thoroughness,
and systematic. The
work of a great teacher of teachers,
whose service any superintendent of
Kentucky school would be fortunate
to secure for institute work
Prof. Chapman's remarks in part
were as follows:
We are living in the greatest age
of the worlds history. Human char
acter has been slowly forming
through the centuries, Every noble
thought, every good reason or kindly
deed is entered 1t is builded into
the imperishable walls of human
character. He showed how Christ
had come to establish a new system
Of things by directing attention to
the individual and by the recognition
Of the poor.
The greatest work done by Christ
was done for the poor. Our work as
teachers Is largely among the poor.
Let us cling to the principles advo.
Gated by the Great Gallean He
showed that humanity is too mater
alistic. Said he, ut took four
thousand years to prepare the world
10 receivethe doctrine of a spiritual
and now, after more than
six thousand years, man is still
clinging to the material---that which
can be seen and felt, and measured,
and counted buying as it were, the
self indul gence Of an honor with the
price of a soul and an eternity Of
happiness.
He than spoke eloquently Of the
work Of the teachers, showing that
what he does is done not for time

the secretions were quite unnatural in

N&sSn@ftefn OF general interest is the
amount of fines collected, which, the
past year aggregated $5,847. 85, of
which amount $118. so were returned.
Although the report cannot so show it,
the fines in reality amounted to almost
$7,OO0.OO; this is explained by the fact
that when the books were audited last
year, they were closed at that time and
and about a months fines appeared on
the short report and not on the re-
port published today. Another item
that will attract attention is the rev.
enue from special licenses, amounting
to 81, 285.01. The cash on hand April
LIST, 1908, was $8,435. 60. The revenue
from the water and light plants aggre-
gated $9,876.45 6. The taxes collected
for the current year amounted to the
sum of ISIS, 895. 25.
Another gratifying condition revealed
in the report is the fact that Laurens
has issued only SIC, OOO.O 90 worth of
bonds. This, we believe, is a smaller
figure than the bonds of any other city
of equal size in this section of the State.
And a glance over the figures represent
ing the property of the city: its power
plant, water and sewerage system, and
real estate is very pleasing, showing
that with the expenditure of its moneys
in the past few years the city, as a re-
suit, has valuable assets.
One item of the Treasurer's report
may possibly be confusing to some un-
acquainted with the methods used in
the management of the d~ispensary re-
ceipts. The report shows receipts for
only three quarters of the year.-a to-
tai for the three quarters of 49, 04. 81.
This amount includes the three remit
tances of the dispensary board as fol-
lows: August s, 1907, So, ITO. rs; Deem
Der 2, $2,415.30; March 6, $4,3 79. AZ.
AS will be readily seen, the amount due
for the quarter dating from January /,
1908 to April l. 1908 has not yet been
paid to the city; the October December
quarter was turned over as late as
March 6, of this year. The dispensary
runs on a cash basis, and consequently
its remittances to the county, city and
school funds are made at about the end
of one quarter for the quarter immedi-
ately proceeding it. Some criticism
has been made upon the council for not
publishing the ~dispensary receipts in it's
quarterly reports. These amounts re-
ceived from the dispensary are kept on
a journal account and in the quarterly
reports have been included in the sun
dry items. In the annual report, as is
the custom, the dispensary item is
specified.
The report for the year 1907 is to all
appearances a fine showing, rejecting
credit upon the city administration.

"0ne Touch of Nature Makes the Whole
World Kim"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm yard
to come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature is to be observed
when a man discovers something ex-
~ceptionally good; he wants ali his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits of his discovery. This is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy write letters to
the manufacturers for publication
That others similarly ailing may also
use it and obtain relief. Behind every
one of these letters is a warm-hearted
wish of the writer to be of use to some
one else. This remedy is for sale by
Laurens Drug Co.
