work, your Christmas gifts of that
embroidery on linen are going to
be very much appreciated. That
lis a. safe prophecy. The severity Of
the design and its richness have

corner. There are two sizes of the
smaller. pieces. one set ten inches
across and the other six inches.
For the rectory table comes an
oblong runner with an exceedingly
handsome design at each corner
and again in the. center of either
border. Twelve mats accompany
this set. each embroidered to
match the runner at every corner.

Scotch linen crash makes a more
informal set for the table with its
eoiored embroidery. The color is
introduced by pulling. threads of
the linen and running a cofored
Ethread in the place thereof. With
mats and napkins in a simple
square pattern this set is .unusu-
ally attractive. Even if one were

The British rejected forcible

Education Week Meeting.
Editor Daily Item: ;

Editor Daily Item:
The following are some irnpres-
sions made upon an ex-teacher of
six years experience in teaching
in the public schools of North and
South Carolina.
The meeting as whole was a
grand success and was an inspira-
ton to all those present. The
wonder, Of it, and the wonder grew.
that so many old exploded forms
and means of teaching" the young
were hashed and rehashed in the
meeting. The most prominent
speaker OF the occasion, a visitor
here for the conference, was Dr.
A. p. Bourland, extension director
from Winthrop College. DR.. Bour-
land used in his talk many new
names for many fruitless, theoreti-5
cal methods used in the past. Such
terms as association centers" and
!. .....arrestive powers are not plain
enough. These terms are success
sors Of such terms as .motifza-
ton and the like. used some years
ago, and are high sounding, intel
lectual sounding terms, but are too
much so. This same method and
style of discussion was used six
years ago when the writer was a
teacher in the public. schools of this
state.
The schools of this or any other
state have never been built UP on
generalities. theories and tangents,
and until some common sense and
practical methods are applied the
schools must needs mark time.
What the schools of this county
and this state need most is less
phiiosopy and more teaching of
the conlmon-sense. practical courses
such as are suited to the needs
in the lives of the pupils and the
locality in which these pupils mean
to live. The need lis closer and
more intense study of the needs
and natural abilities of the pupils
and a Development of these nat
ural abilities to meet these needs.
While the psychology of the .hu-
man race" is being studied and
fathomed the practical, common
sense teaching due the pupil. is
being neglected.
It is a known fact that. there. is,
nowhere to be found SO much
'lost motion as is found in the
teaching profession. There are
exceptions, but they only prove the
rule. This could be eliminated by
more system. longer tenure of of
ace. by teachers and better teach
ers. Until these things. are cor
rected progress in the schools Will
be slow. Trustees should be more
careful in the selection of. their
teachers and these teachers should
be employed for not less than three
years. There are some public
schools in the state that have :.
different teacher every year. be-
cause the trustees do not wish the
teacher to return and the teacher
would not return If invited to do
SO, IN many cases. Until this can
be remedied the school will always
be in state of confusion. brought
about by the lack of understanding
OF the pupils and their needs on
the part of the teacher, and lack !
Of understanding of the teacher and |
her methods by the pupils. No
school can be systematized proper !
ly in one year. no matter how small
the school may be.
Then: {
What we need most is less pisi!-
