already placed upon the high school
courses. This ought to form a nu-
c1eus around which can be built up a
better system of teaching in the State.
All of the best of the present corps
CT teachers now in the work ought 20
be encouraged to continue, and those
f~essionals should be given a chance
to make such of themselves, and then
il they refuse they should be elimina-
ted altogether. Protection should be
furnished those who want to go into
the work, and provisions should be
made which would not allow sucn
persons to be looked upon as the re-
cipients of pensions.
The speaker urged upon the teach
ers to keep abreast of the times, and
to acquire all the knowledge possible
liz every field. He wanted them to dc
such efficient work that the people Of
the State would have to realize that
the training of children is the most
important thing to be looked after,
and that they would finally come TO
realize this to the extent that they
would provide the facilities for keep
ing he ranks of the profession well
filed.
President Reynolds wanted his
hearers tt go forth into every county
Of the State and burn into the minds
ard hearts of the people the fact that
the child in the poor county and the
child in the wealthy county alike
should be given an opportunity of a
good education. The movement to
erect a standard for persons entering
the teaching profession should re-
i ceive the support of every one IN any
| way interested in the movement, and
thus aid in the building up of a strong
educational system. Then and not
until then" said the speaker In clos

TEACHERS
Address Of President Reynolds Before
State Teachers Assembly.

President A. C. Reynolds of the Gull
lowhee Industrial school delivered the
following address before the state
teachers and superintendent in Raj
eigh last week:
In beginning his address, President
Reynolds said that a professional man
in any line of work was that person
who centered his energies in n di-
rection and kept them there for al
time and followed that business
through life. In order to enter a
profession, one must have an oppor-
tunity to prepare himself for the work
and have inducements to enter into it.
What opportunity is afforded by
the State to prepare teachers for their
work?'' the speaker asked, and then
answered his own question by saying
that he believed that the preparation
of the teacher was in the nome. The
parents must furnish the very best
food that can be had, and must also
see to it that the children have good
moral and spiritual surroundings.
They should be taught the lesson of
obedience and devotion to help con-
tzol younger children. During the
school days knowledge should be ac-
cumlated, and foundation for a noble
manhood should be laid.
All teachers should be well supplied
with knowledge, but this is not the
case. Many are trying to teach who
have not this supply of knowledge,
and it should be the duty of those who
believe in teaching as a profession to
stop and to eliminate those who. are
incompetent. A teacher should have
the power to impart as well as to take
in.
A strong personality should be de-
veleped, and the power to controti
| others should be eultivated-a control
not to be assumed physically. but by
the will. The teacher should have /
personality that will be respected
! everywhere, and should study the
laws of the development of the child.
There are some teachers who were
| ever reolly taught well theselves,
and who cannot in turn teach others
any better. Teaching should be lifted
from an %avocation to a vocation.
This condition of affairs, according
to the opinion of President Reynolds,
was brought about because the teach.
ers are inefficient. In the professions
