Prof. Rembert.

Professor RENDER prefaced his remarks by
a review OF what Abbeville County had done
for the cause of Education and mentioned In
that connection two schools, Wilmington and
Cokesbury. Prof. Rsmbert said that people
should be awakened to an interest in the
little things that lie about US, the beauty in
nature, ect. He showed that the gr. atest
interest rests in the children. TO illustrate
this point be spoke OF . house being on fire
Inquiry was made as TO whose house 1t was
Mr.. Smiths. Mr.. Smith went TO see about
It. Again there was a cry OF fire, and this
time 1t was the Baptist Church. All the
was a cry OF fre nom the school house and
avery body left their places Of business and
went 10 the school house, all were interested.
AS the home Is the heart OF the family The
.chool house is the heart OF the community
He judged q community by It's school house
and not by its churches.
Many men do not give to schools because
they are afraid that their neighbors may be
benefited thereby. Whatever helps a neigh
b Or helps the individual.
There is an economic valuation to be placed
on schools. The strongest asset that a com
munity possesses is IN Its school.
There sholld be a community Of interest
in our efforts. Nsrrowness is our greatest
check to progress. There should be a breadth
Of Interest. We should do all We can 10 put
ourselves In touch with the harmony o.
creation, and to do 1t we must broaden our
knowledge and Enlarge our syn pathies.
The brains OF men go into business but the
brains OF women go into schools and home IS
Educate the women n settle forever the
question OF compulsory education.
Liscence and freedom are confused in the
minds Of many men. They think that they
van freedom when they want lisen &c.
The speaker urged that good books and
good papers fall into the hands OF the boys
and girls. Unless good books and papers are
given hem the time will come when BAG
books and papers may reach them and the
result will be disastrous. he mentioned ar
instance OF a boy whose whole life wal
changed by the reading OF a book. The boy
was induced TO 60 to college through thiI
instrumentality, and while he received NJ
encouragement or help OF any kind from
home, but rather encouragement, yet b,
worked bis way through n now is helpinI
his brothers and sisters through who, other
wise, would never have had an education.

The meeting was opened by an address OF
welcome offered by Prof. B. M. Cheatham,
principal ofthe Sharon School. In the course
OF his remarks Mr.. Cheatham gave a history
OF the school. told OF its ups and downs in an
interesting manner. Among those prom
nently interested in the life OF the school
were mentioned MIR. A len McCanty, Mr.,
James Gillian, Mr.. Dave Gillian, Mr.. j. T.
Cheatham and others. Sharon, he said, was
the first district to vote a special school tax
In the County outside OF Abbeville city.
Many boys and girls, the speaker added
had gone OFF to college from this school and
many more would 60. He attributed the sue
cess OF the Sharon School TO the unanimity
OF purpose and cooperation on the part OF the
patrons of the school. They have pulled
together, so to speak, and the result Is one OF
the best schools in the County.

More Practical Education.

The keynote Of addresses at the
council of education at Denver is more
practical education in the public
schools and is a direct response to
public demands and criticisms Of pres
ent methods by business men. Among
other things, superintendent Cooley,
long head of the Chicago schools,
took a rap at the time-honored Gus
tom OF holding up to the youth the
possibility Of attaining the presidency.
Teaching high ideals to pupils to in
duce them to make the best Of their
opportunities and talents is proper,
but encouraging ambitions for which
there is so remote a possibility of real
many a boy who lacks the courage to
strive on after his idol is shattered.
Incidentally, II teachers are really
in earnest In a desire to make educa-
ton more practical the remedy is in
their own hands. Educators like Super
i%ntendent Cooley have shaped present.
day school instruction and they can
reform It il they really want TO, and
the patrons and supporters of the pub
lie schools will be only too glad to
help. All education does not aim at
financial returns, Something is neces-
sary to polish and round out charac-
ter, but the great complaint is that
public schools require so many things
that absorb the pupils time yet are
not and cannot be pursued far enough
to be OF any value. This wasted time
is at the expense Of essentials in which
the business man complains the stu
dents are deficient when they take up
life work.
The public school is a foundation
for life work and not for a college
course which so few ever take. No
