The Lethe Home
Mr.. W. E. HAGAR THE RIGHT MAN
IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
Mrs. Hagan's Good Work Commended :
Prof. ToIbert a Successful Teacher.

Lowndesville, s. c., Aug. -, 1909.
Editors Press and Banner:
Last Friday night went over from
Wellington to the Lethe Home and
spent a very pleasant night with Mr.
and Mrs. w. f. Hagan.
Mrs. Hagan is refined as well as an
industrious lady. She keeps the Home
in fine condition, and with her own
hands she has made great many i'm
provements that are ornamental TO the
place. When I made my first visit
there two years ago she had just start
ed a foWer-yard and had planted vines
at each corner of the piazza, and her
flowers had just begun to grow. Now
she has most beautiful fiower-yard in
front of the Home and her vines have
run from one corner of the piazza to
the other and make beautiful shade
that keeps out all the morning sun.
There were about twenty-four chill.
dren taken care of this year at the
Home. Mrs. Hagan sews and makes
all the clothes for the children, and
Mr.. Hagan keeps them plenty of good
and sufficient rations. There are ten
children at the Home at present and
they are cared for by Mr.. and Mrs. Ha.
gan just as they care for their own
children, and, really, if a stranger Wis
its the Home, unless by favor, he
cannot tell which are Mr.. and Mrs.
Hagan's children. An old friend OF
mine came in while I was there and
asked me which We're Mr.. Hagan's
daughters. The same kind feeling and
respect seems to prevail with the chill
dren towards Mr.. and Mrs. Hagan. /
noticed while there that they all, big
and little, old and young, in speaking
to Mr.. and Mrs. Hagan, said Papa"
and Mama" 1t Is really interesting
to visit the Home and see the close ties
that bind the children to the manager
and his good wife.
The trustees have made many i'm.
Iprovements in the last two years. They
have had waterworks put in for the
benefit of the institution the church
has been repaired and madea very good
building; they have had all of the
buildings painted. Part of the paint
ing was done by the manager. After
he had finished painting the Home he
over the doors up and down
stairs in beautiful letters "The Lethe
Home"
Mr.. Hagan seems to be the right man
in the right place. He understands
the business around the Home and per-
forms his duty we'll. Heseems to take
great interest in building up the place.
He has built splendid garden at home
which be says he did at his own ex-
pepse. Mr.. Hagan is also q tip-top
farmer; he has the best crop of corn,
cotton, peavine and sugar-cane forage
that 1 have seen this year.
The trustees employed Prof. j. A.
Talbert to teach the school at Lethe
last year and this year, and it seems
that be taught the school with much
success, from the way heard it spok.
Ell of by some ladies on, the train.
heard lady cay that she attended the
exhibition that they held, and Mr..
Talbert and Mr.. and Mrs. Hagan made
it grand success.
1t is really pleasure to visit the
Lethe Home. w. G. Shaw. .

Primary Schools
Suggestions in Re-
gard to Our System
of Education.
Hermitage Farm,

Lowndesville, S. G., Aug. 5, l90S.
Editors Press and Banner:
Dear Sirs - Among the problems
which we have to solve is the remodel
ing of our primary schools system OF
education.
This system should be so arranged
as to answer the exigencies of the
present conditions of our existence.
Man is a composite of what [ will
call, for the present purpose, direct.
i've personality, bodily matter and
an intellect.
The primary object of the education
of our children should be to fit these
three components of their being for
the parts they will have to play in
their future life.
First The directive personality
should be taught the general principles
of morals and the principal laws of the
land.
1t is obvious that this part of the
education should be made the main
feature of the system, its aim being
the moulding of~the men and of the
citizens of the future.
Second: The human body should
be made the subject of the study in the
primary schools.
To be competent, an engineer must
have the knowledge of his engine, OF
its parts, their arrangement and func-
tion {; he must know how to keep il
clean, in neat appearance and in work
ing order he must know how TO use
it and keep it in repair.
Same knowledge should possessed
byman in regard to his body, which Is
the most perfect engine in the world,
being the work of the Creator Himself.
Third: The education of the chill
dren's intellect should have for object
the training of their intellectual fac
ulties, such as their imagination, their
judgment, their reason, their memory
and their ability for speaking.
These three features should be pres
ent inseparably in the primary school
system of education.
The majority of our children do not
20 beyond the primary schools; yet, 4,
they are to form the largest part of our
nation and to have their in hands the
shaping of its destinies ; it is, there
fore of the utmost Importance that
they should receive a training ad-
euuate with their future duties and re-
sponsibilities.
Through instructions and books pre-
sented in attractive and interesting
manner and forms, it would be ss
easy to teach our children the elements
of morals, of laws, of human anato-
my, of hygiene, of mechanics of geol.
ogy, of natural history, of~astronomy.
of chemistry, of oratory, ETC., etc, as
to teach them the stories of Little
Red Riding HOOD" etc., etc.
Such teachings would leave in the
minds of our children ideas, the knowl-
edge of which they could make use of
in the future to advantage for them
selves and for the country.
Yours respectfully,
Meschine.
