The following local and editorial excerpts from The Kershaw Era show that public sentiment is driving the blind tigers out of that town. As you read thorn, remember local conditions and make up your mind that Lancaster, too, must have a moral awakening, which will mean the end of the evil here: "It was mentioned in The Era last eek that Policeman Gregory had arrested Will Johnson and Arthur Miller, both colored, on the charge of liquor selling and that both were convicted in tlio mayor's court, the former being fined $65 and the latter $40, totalling $105. Since then Officer Gregory has arrested eight others on the same charge and they were tried in the mayor's court, convicted and setnenced as follows: "E. W. Armstrong. $200 or 60 days on two cases; Locke Hall, $2 5 or 30 days; Will Dren, $20 or 30 days; Arrant Paterson, $20 or 30 days; Will Beckham, $20 or 30 days; Luther Sowell, $20 or 30 days; Will Krlkland, $20 or 30 days; Bob Cunningham, $20 or 30 days. Totalling $345 or 270 days; this added to the fines in the first two cases make $4 50 or 330 days. These figures aggregate half the salary of the policeman for a year, and he lacked several days of having served his first month." "It Is time for our people to think seriously and give their indorsement to the efTort of the town officials to rid the town of the blind tiger pest. There is no justification, r.bsolutely, for their existence. They ore a menance to good morals, law and order, an life ytself, and should not he tolerated a moment. "Furthermore, the toleranco of them and patronage they receive is a trnvesity on the times through which we are passing. The dollars ? aro t?? hard to get now to admit of their being wasted In any such manner, and suffering must of necessity come from the we-te. The calls for help are bound to come sooner or later end this traffic is going to hid the coming. "And the incongruity of it all? When money is so scarce that comparatively few persons can raise funds in any amount, negroes that are not at nil in affluence can walk up and plank down fines in llie stims of twenty, twenty-five, forty, sixty-five, and two hundred dollars, aggregating $450 \flthin three days. Think of it. Where could you raise such a sum for charity even at this time? And vet the neonlo crv haro times! "Let's give the officers our hearty approval ,and the evil which they are trying to crush out, our stamp of dlsappraval. The blind tiger and jumbling evils aro*about on a par. as both make foY suffering and poverty, and thejl should not be tolerated for a moment in any community." I I'RIZK (JdCKENS. Lancaster Birds at the . Chester Show. In .addition to the prizes already won on his fine White Plymouth Hock chickens, Mr. J. T. Woodward, proprietor of the Standard Poultry Yards, was awarded the following premiums on them at the Chester Poultry Show this week: First and second cocks, second and third hens, third cockerel, fourth pullet, first pen. \0> . ifejj, IULPFDL ADDRK88K8. Miss Withers and .Mrs. Urowne <?l?c Kxcelli'iit Talks to Teachers. In addition to proceedings of the (Touchers' Institute reported in our "' last issue, there were several other I features of the meeting which are , worthy of particular montion. Miss 11 Sarah Withers of the Winthrop i i Training School faculty, on Thurs day afternoon gave a practical talk on problems in the teaching pf EngL llsli. She based her remarks or i this quotation: "The first thing to do is to loose the bounden tonguo . and train it aright." The children must be trained to talk for there i?no better way to teach English than , I uy conversation Encourage chil, j drcn to talk of everyday happenings, I tell jokes and ask riddles. The teachers also should make a list of ! their own most common mistakes land try to correct them. They I Should also insist, linon irnml ICrnrlluli ' nnd correct pronunciation in every lesson anil In every phase of school life. The suggestions made by Mis? J Withers led to a very profitable discussion. I Mrs. Hotly Hroxviie was thi , speaker at tlie Friday night session. Mrs. Browne spoke interestiugly of her w ork in the experimental rur il school at VVinthrop College. a school designed to so train the children of the rural districts th"t tbo> v ill become useful citizens who find true happiness in farm life. An old | frame house of throe rooms on th" ftmpu:' is used for th's rural ichooj. There is llie teacher's room containing a shelf full of grow ing plant and a long table, ? carpenter's shop II with two benches and tools of the i simplest kinds, and the third room is the kitchen with a range and other inexpensive equipment. The spacious porch is used as the dining/ room anil near the pump are tjm individual drinking cups. A farm [ garden is one of the most important I features of the school. A plot of 9 by 4 0 feet is divided according to i the number of children In school and marked with the name of the owner. When the ;seed had h?on i planted and tende^ and the vegetable begin to gr<5w. garden books i were started ami a record of the work kept therein. The foes with which all aptrdeners have to contend i were stuffed and some anlmr.ls and bugs thought to be foes are found to be friends. Number work, reading, drawing and all branches commonly taught in t. country school are taught in this school and in addition, sewing, cooking, carpenter ing, gardening, etc. At table lunch prepared by the children is eaten at lunch time, and p. social half hour is enjoyed, during which lessons in table manners as well as other important matters are impressed on the children. Tho various house hold duties are taught as well as 'marketing and how to make moncv I from a garden. Trees are studied ' from nature all about them and j the children are encouraged to en, tortniu their mothers and friends a*. I small, simple parties. Mrs. Browne made a strong ap; peal for tho training of children to ! recognize the dignity of farm life. 1 and the happiness to he found in a 1 well managed home in the country. At this meeting, music by Prof, and Mrs. J. A. Klein and their music . c'uss. Prof. W. P. Feaster and Mr. lit. M. McDermid added much to the pleasure of the audience with good musical selections, i At the Saturday morning meeting another talk by Miss Withers was an interesting feature. She spoke on i story-telling in the school and first i took up the told story and how to i prepare it, by means of a good bei ginning, a succession of events ori derly and complete, a proper climax and an ending that leaves the mind at rest. The teller must feel the '' T' o* ? ?"\cj * | ' fa + nvy r? " r* , be ablo to visualize events. By means of repetition which every ' child loves, his mind Is kept on the alert for the recurrence of the familiar jingle. I ntelllng a story the teacher must forget self and other considerations. Story telling is often done by means of a play, for which no staeo ! appurtenances are necessary. Let | the children plan end give it according to their own ideas. In reproduction of stories, both by retelling and | by dramatization, the story must Iv of more interest to the teller thar 11 to the audience and there must a motive to the story. Dramatization '{makes the story real and gives pleasure to the child. For the benefit of those teaeherr who care to'read the books to ! which .Miss Withers referred in her i; address, we obtained from her the , names as well as the publishers end i they are as follows: "For the Children's Hour," hv Bailey and Lewis published by tlie Houghton-Mifiiu Company of Atlanta: "How to Tell | Stories" and "Stories to Toil to Children," hy Sarah Cone Bryant i published by the Houghton-Ni flirt ' Company. Miss Withers closed her remarks hy telling exceedingly well a beautiful Christmas story. ,! Superintendent Humphries o:' | Kershaw read an excellent paper on I "How to Vitalize the Course o;' Study." ,i At the close of the institute SuI perintendent Wessingor, who is {president of the County Teachers* j Association. thanked the teacher'for their attendance, the city for It; hospitality, the trustees for gran? 1 in* holiday on Friday, the visiting teachers for their inspiring talks and The Lancaster News for its help In advertising the institute.
