PITY THE SCHOOLTEACHER.
Multiplicity of Duties That Are Re.
quired of Her.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Richmond Times Dispatch
The modern school teacher must be
inwardly a wonderful and awesome
creation. She is the vortex around
which swirl the perpleXing currents
: of our confused society. She must
! have the versatility. Elasticity and
adaptability of genius to answer the
, demands made upon her brain and
heart. Upon her shoulders, as upon
= Atlas rests the whole world.
! consider what she is supposed to
= do. She must supplant the state in
educating youth in patriotism, law,
history and all the latest civic virtues.
She must train him to vote right to
serve his country. Just last week
3 Richmord teachers listened to an able
, appeal for more fundamental instruc-
ton in tht principles of government
for the future citizen. This is an ad-
mirable end, but is government 80
simple and modern affairs so easily
grasped that for the princely stipend
of $50 or $50 a month we can secure
an expert to interpret constitutions
and direct commonwealths
She must make her room an annex
TO the home. What parents cannot
instil. guided by love and made wise
by acquaintance with the very hearts
of their children, she must impart to
them out Of the dull pages of book.
Beginning with manners and running
all the way to morals she must some
how by her precept and example mold
90 or more young pagans into mod
els of virtue and propriety. What
ever is too difficult for home teach
ing is Jumped vaguely together as the
sphere or the school. Sewing and
cooking and manual training, we be-
lieve, can be taught admirably in
schools. But we do not think char
acter can be built in the mass. 1t is
laziness in the parent that would del
egate these supreme functions OF ed
{
young woman, who often enough is
scarcely able to keep honest herself
on the wages she gets.
! TO these big items pedagogy is
swiftly adding more. The teacher is
expected to look after the health of
her charges. She must impart ideals
OF cleanliness, preach the dangers of
germs and even show the most ap-
proved methods Of washing the hands.
In the country. furthermore, she is
an adjunct Of agriculture. Plant life,
animal life, husbandry, dairying and
score Ct other processes depend on
her efforts The amusements of chill
dren are also to be directed by the
teacher.
These are but a few OF the things
she is supposed To do. All Of them
are good Many of them are truly
vital parts Of public education. Not
for moment would we have the in
Huence OF the school in real life sac
rlhced for an outworn tradition of
mere book learning. But it is time
society took common-scnsc view Of
such things and provided special
teachers and broader instruction to
nj these paramount guides for the
multifarious calls upon their cncr-
giles 1t is folly To base progress on
education and not furnish the best cd
uCatOrs.

As to Income Tax.

kingstree County Record.
The list of the counties paying in
come tax as compared with the coun-
Ties that pay nothing is an interesting
study. The presumably rich coun-
ties Of Darlington, Marlboro, Dillon
and several others pay not a cent or
income tax, and yet at least in one of
the counties named there are several
rcputcd scmi-millionaircs. Compare
Darlington, Marlboro and Dillon with
Dorchester and Bamhcrg, and yet both
of the latter counties pay income tax.
surely some counties wealthy men
are greatly OVcr-ratcd or they are very
modest in acknowledging their pos
sessions To tn" county auditor.

TAKE 16-YEAR-OLD BRIDE

william Burr and Ernest Heton,
both about 20 years old. and giving
their addresses as No. So la Belle

spectively, were arrested by the flying
squadron, Thursday afternoon, for in

The men met the girl on the street.
on Monroe-ave.. and she willingly &C.
companied them. In the saloon. the
proprietor refused 10 serve them. on
account OF the girls age. and after
starting quarrel. they left, when the
police were called. The flyer picked
up the odd trio as they we're hurrying
away from the saloon.

or all the Gilbert and Sullivan OPP
eras which hsd such a tremendous
vogue In the early SOS, the least
known and least frequently amateur
lied is Patience" which was given
In the Garrick theater, Thursday
evening, by tho Gilbert and Sullivan
Festival company. And 1t Is one OF
the most delightful In It's music, keen
In Its wit, and pretty in>tts invesu-
ture.
When the late Sir William s. Gil
bert and the late Sir Arthur Sullivan
were looking around for material FOR
an opera to follow fast upon the
enormous success which had come to
them with "Pinafore," and THE Pr
rates OF Penzance," they hit upon the
idea of holding up to ridicule the hypo-
critical aestheticism In art, literature
and society which held England In
mushily-sentimental grip. In the
early sos. In society, women were
affecting flowing draperies in dress, in
contrast TO the hustle fashion" OF
the period, and men and women alike
"mooned" around, striking aesthetic
poses, reading love sonnets and
ecstatically acclaiming the Aubrey
Beardsley poster art represented IN
magenta colored ladies against a
peacock blue sky and green sunsets.
Gilbert's sense OF humor saw tho ride
ulous side of this artistic insanity, and
he turned It's absurdities into Patti
ence," In q manner TO set the whole
world laughing. The vogue OF "Pati.
ence," was responsible for the fad OF
decorating a chopplng bowl with
sunfiower, and painting a lily on
butter churn and placing 1t In the front
hall, for an umbrella stand. In those
days, every sort OF kitchen utensil
was painted with hollyhock or a
sunfiower and placed on an easel In
the parlor. II Gilbert had his run
" It'll these inane foibles in that day,

theater, Thursday evening, had just
as much enjoyment out OF the revival
OF the Gilbertain satire.

pany could do better work than ac-
complished earlier In the week, In

zance," and The Mikado," Is was

called a half-dozen times to sing the

and Mr.. Cunningham and his associ-
ates we'll deserved the splendid recep-
ton given them. Eugene Cowles, as
Major Murgatroyd, looked the picture

Much as Miss Adams loved the play
it was only when the requests became
insistent and continuous that she felt
the time had come for a revival Of the
work. That the revival is timely and
opportune is shown by the huge sue

Shaded Effects,

At college dance recently given in
the college theater every one mar
veled at the pretty girls, the fine
looking men and the general air Of
happiness and enjoyment that prevail
ed. Other dances given in the same
room had been successful, but there
had always been a sort of barnlike
atmosphere which no amount of gay
ETY. could dispel. One of the members
of the committee explained the
change. The girls on the comittee, six
of them, had bought several rolls OF
deep pink crepe paper. a ball of twine
and some pins. On the tops of step
ladders and chairs they had made and
fastened on rufiled paper shades over
every electric bulb In the room. The
result, for which the dancers could
find no reason, was an air Of festivity
which every one noted. 1t was all
due to the soft yellow pink light.

Lay at each table small bunch oi
lilies of the valley with one pink
rosebud tied together with silver
gauze. Mark the brides place with
a wreath of pink rosebuds and ferns,
and one can be tilted to the back OF

FLOWERS FASTENED TO FAN
Distinctly New Place Found for the
Bunch Of "Futurist" Blossoms Just
Now In Such Favor.

A new place has been found for the
distinctive bunch of futurist flowers
They have been used at the corsage,
on the hat, at the belt and on the
neck ruff Behold them now fastened
pertly to net lace or ivory fan. They
are effective, too the gaudy, stif flow.
ers, against the dainty white fan.
They are generally caught about the
stems to the outside stick of the fan,
and one of the flowers is fastened Sc.
curely in place farther along the stick,
Arranged in this manner they do not
interfere with the opening and shut
ting Of the fan.
The woman who can use a paint
brush can make a futurist fan of a
different sort by decorating a net or
lace fan with spots and blotches OF
brilliant color, cerise, orange. purple
and bright green, in oil paints. Such
fan, further trimmed with bunch
of flowers emphasizing the colors al
ready used, is worth possessing.
