into a subject fully and vigorously,
and then from his knowledge OBJ
tanned he states his derived conclu-
sion plainly. So he teaches rules
not rules of thumb-but rules with
purpose and meaning.
In an apt colloquial expression,
Professor Banks "gets next" to a
student. There is no film of mis-
understanding between. No haze or
imperfect sympathy, no delay or
no doubt as to who is teacher and
who is learner. His method is di-
rect. immediate, instant; his Ian
guage is vigorous, plain and vital;
the burden of his discourse is good
hard sense. Fine discrimination is
not lacking, nor nicely of phrase,
nor acute sympathy with the par
ticular properties of the pupils
mind and nature.
With the conviction that second
ary education is most important for
higher scholarly attainments, Pro-
fessor Banks has for forty-two
years been grounding youth in the
principles and reasons. His sub
structure of teaching will stand any
superstructure of scholarliness, for
he has successfully prepared stu
dents for the highest standard in
stitutions in America, and many of
them have pushed on to Europe.
Sill vigorous as at twenty, in per-
feet health and spirits, and in every
respect one of the youngest Of his
profession in South Carolina, 1t is
surprising to recall the quantity of
his work, as 1t is evoking of the
greatest admiration to review the
quality of it.
He has been Immediately instru-
mental in inducing 1900 young men
to enter college, most Of these from
the Carolinas, but from over the
whole South as we'll. Coaching stu
dents for the United States Military
and Naval Academies has been his
special pet occupation. Some OF the
most eminent of his former students
may be mentioned here in the per-
sons of Professor /. S. X Alison,
head OF the English department in
Princeton University; William Mack

ed six years, until his wife's health
induced him to take charge of the
Hyatt Park high school of Eau
Claire, Richland county, which, since
his coming four years ago, has
grown from rs to 400 students.
Professor Banks was for IA years
a member of the state board of edu-
cation, serving under Governors
Evans, Ellerbe, McSweeney, Hey
ward and Ansel, until in his fourth
term he voluntarily gave up the
office. He was lieutenant colonel on
Governor Simpsons staff. For some
years he was secretary and treas
urer of the State Teachers Associa-
ton. His alma mater he has served
long and nobly, having been a trus-
tee and member of the executive
committee for 40 years. His father
had been chairman OF the board of
trustees. and to this position Pro-
fessor Banks succeeded him when
very young man. On numerous
occasions he has delivered ad-
dresses at Davidson, notably at the
semi-centennial ceremonies.
Professor Banks is of the rigor-
Gus old school. of which DR.. Ar

Professors Horner and Bingham
and Waddel Moses, in this county
were members. He IS a "school
master"-any term short of this
fails to fit his sturdy presence. II
is men Of his type who in days past
gave to school and to education in
general the distinct flavor and quail
ity that have been handed down TO
more recent generations. There
has never been anything superficial
in his work Certain great princi-
pies of instruction he has tested
and found sound, and these he en-
forces to effect. The foibles OF
pedagogy have no dangers for him
He bases his method on intimate
contact OF pupil and teacher, on
good fellowship and understanding
as man to man. and on the addition
al major premise that the instructor

He makes a study Of the personal

from which he was graduated in
1871, at the age of twenty, with the
A. b. degree. Teaching school near

years later.
His intention was to study medi-

days OF reconstruction, especially

from his Ku Klux activities, he
abandoned his original idea in 1875,
and addressed his energies to the
teaching profession, in which work
he had become intensely interested.
He conducted successfully the
Archibald Institute at Pleasant
Ridge, Alabama; and the Catawba
Male Academy at Fort Mill, South
Carolina, which he organized and
where for thirteen years he sent
twenty-five boys annually to college.
The student body OF the latter grew

GRIEVED OVER NEWS
Premier of Heavy-weights Says He
Does Not Think This Accident
Will Kill the Game.

Boston, May 24.-John L. Sullivan
said this evening: I was very much
grieved when 1 heard the news of the
death of Luther McCarty, caused by a
blow from Arthur Pelky in their bout
at Calgary today. i believe that 1t
undoubtedly was an accident.
II don't believe that the fighting
game will be hurt in this country
through this accident. for the game
has been well established throughout
the United states. and at present box
ing is being governed by good set
of rules.
"One thing that should be done, and
a thing that will help greatly in pre-
venting such accidents, is that rep
utable physician should be appointed
and the boxers thoroughly examined
before entering the ring for battle.
"McCarty's death was caused by a
blow over the heart. 1t stands TO rea-
son that he undoubtedly had a weak
heart or else the fatality would not
have occurred"
