The thousands of young pines which
have been set out on the campground by
the association in the last few years
appear to be in thriving condition.
They may easily be seen on the knoll
to the right of the approach to the
tabernacle. IL is the plan OF the asso-
citation to continue setting out the pines
each year until all available space is
covered.

Mistaken Aims in T. ching

A paper read at the last meeting of
the Teachers Association OF Clarendon
county:
Behind everything there is a thought
that is an ideal: and it is our princl-
pal task in life to find out true ideals
in every instance, and shape our aims
toward their realization. This is pecu-
liarly necessary in the profession OF
teaching, which, taken in its broad
sense, is perhaps the finest work land
the poorest business iu the world.
Now, as there is a certain work
proper to every type of school, so there
is a certain excellence that each kind
may strive for, and though along such
lines the teachers efforts simply can
not be TOO strenuous, it is a mistaken
aim to try to make a school what 1t is
not. 1t has been well said that there
is no such thing as beauty per Sc, that
is 10 itself-for true beauty lies IT IS
harmony with the surroundings. 1t
would not be beautiful for your servant
in the kitchen to prepare the meal
arrayed in evening dress. Even so
there is no excellence except in the
adaptation Of means to definite and
suitable end.
l am a. great believer in teachers
doing the utmost they can TO meet COM
munity needs, and even community de-
sires: but am obliged to admit that
| it is a mistake for school to undertake.
aught more than its teaching force and
its equipment enable it to do we'll. IL.
word, the teachers aims Should be
practicable adapted to the time and
place, and calculated to make the
school of real service 10 its people.
There is tendency in the present
day for high schools, and even common
schools, to ape the college. l recollect
Professor Hand, referring to this ten
dency, wrote me once that. 10 his
opinion, baccalaureate sermon and 4
| literary address were 100 pretentlous
for even anv high school: and he cited
with approval the example of Professor
| Dreher, who was that year preparing
TO close the Columbia High Schoul
with u simple debate among the stu
| dents as a main feature. And Yet al
most every little school Eow-a-days,
running, it may be, only six or seven
months, must have its elaborate com
meDcement, must contrive TO secure

that 5000 people will be here On that
day. Look around and see what you
need. Mix little business with your
pleasure Do your shopping with Our
Manning merchants while here you
will need sack of -four, a package Of
dry goods. and other useful things for
your home. If $4,000 people will spend a
dollar each while in Manning, the town
will get $4,000 in trade and you will
simply be getting what you musi have.
Public spirited people will take advan-
tage of this suggestion.

bia, has accepted an Invitation to ad-

mixed. Take the mischievous, ire
pressible child "into everything"
terror to teachers, of perhaps we SAID,
in our haste. that he would surely come
to no good end, Do we always ind
him in after life behind the prison
barso No, most likely time has ripened
him into the useful type OF character
that in some way or other puts It's
shoulder to the wheel of the worlds
work. How often the troublesome
child, so hard to keep straight" as
people say, develops into the man or
woman of courage and initiatlve-the
very one we would look to in an emer-
gencv. Do not these experiences teach
US that school ought not to be a place
where personality is under ban be-
cause it does not appeal to the pecu'lar
tastes of the teacher, but that 1t shoulo
be the place above eli others where the
children are helped to truly "hnd
themselves"
But the errors OF weak or lnSun-
cient aim are perhaps more numerous
than all others. The aim which stops
short of the goal-which in the reclta-
tion room, is satisfied with what Ham
let calls words, words, Words" for
getting that words are of no value ex.
cept as the signs of ideas; the lack OF
ali attempt to make facts real, living
and interesting, and to relate them to
the pupils own experience, the 1allure
to suggest the moral or religious truth
which ever goes hand in hand with the
Intellectual, and which the young life
so sorely needs that it may not suffer
shipwreck-these are some or tne
things that mark deficient aims.
So far as the teacher personally IS
concerned, there is no doubt that stan
dards are more eXacting now /than
they have ever been. The teacher is
expected to have high aims-must
keep thoroughly good schoo! with
all that that impliesl study the lessons
assigned, read the best literature, and
keep up with current events. All this
is right and necessary-and yet 1t
would be mistake for the teacher to
be content with the life of a recluse,
and aim at a scholarly retirement. Inns
would be to miss the opportunities Tor
both giving and getting to which eou-
cation and talent peculiarly entitle one.
A good example for the teacher, as Tor
every one to whom mucn mas oeen
given, is that of "the man by the SIDE
OF theroad" first mentioned OF OLD by
Homer, whose thought has been thus
paraphrased by later writer: =,
"Let me live in house by the SIDE
of the road
Where the race of men 60 by
The men who are good and they VINO
are bad
As good and as bad as l,
would not sit on the scorner's seat
Or hurl the critics ban. =,
Let me live in my house by the side
OF the road
And be friend to man
For the teacher perhaps beyond most
others.soughtto be one imbued with the
love of humanity, and his ideal OF
ideals should be the aim OF service.
No lasting mistakes are possible TO
man or woman who has once found out
the great truth that
ITO give is to live,
TO deny is to die"

The CoSsaex.

Tolstoy, who knew the Cossack, de-
scribes him in his novel, The Cos
sack" as follows: He looks upon a
woman as the instrument of his we'll
being. AS long as she is unmarried
she is allowed to make merry; but
once wife she must put aside the
pleasures OF youth and work even TIL
the end of her days to add to his coR-
fort He IL thoroughly oriental IN his
demand upon her obedience and toll
AS result of this state Of things, the
women, though to all appearances IN
subjection, become powerfully devel-
oped, both physically and morally, and,
as is commonly the case in the East,
possess incomDarably more influence
and consequence in domestic affairs
than in the West. The Cossack, who
in the presence of strangers regards
it unbecoming to talk affectionately
or gossip with his wife, cannot help
feeling her superiority when he Is
left alone with her"

Critics DISAGREE

A good story is told BY Professor
Lounsbury that shows in the matter
Of poets, critics hold varying opinions
According to the professor, Aubrey
De We're, the Irish poet, collected on
the same day the opinion Of three OF
his brother poets on the poedcal
standing Of Burns One Of these po-
cts VINO was Fennyson, said Burns:
songs were perfect, but that one had
to forget his serious pieces to en-
10Y them. The. second, who was
Wordsworth, said that Burns "seri-
Gus efforts" showed great genius, but
that his foolish little amasory Doems
were worthy only Of oblivion The
third was Sir Henry Taylor, who said
that he found Burns songs and his
serious poems alike tedious and dis
agreeable.

Value of Ashes.

A ton Of average hardwood ashes
contains 100 pounds Of potash, 81
pounds Of phosphortc acid. and $40
pounds Of lime, or about one-third OF
the latter. Tree trimmings run 100,
so and 375 pounds, respectively.
Weeds will doubtless average about
the yield for hay and straw or 3d. 70
and 100 Coal ashes are practically
valueless as fertilizer, but improve the
physical condition Of close or sticky
soils. Average stable manure con-
tains about one-tenth as much potash
as do hardwood ashes.
