C., Aug. 5, 1909. L Editors Press aDd Banner : [ Dear Sirs ? Among the problems s j which we have to solve is the remodei- i ing of our primary schools system of education. i This system should be so arranged i as to answer the exigencies of the 1 , present conditions of our existence. ] Man is a composite of what I will j call, for the present purpose, a direct- t ive personality, a bodily matter and ? an intellect. 2 The primary object of the education I I of our children should be to fit these s three components of their being for the parts they will have to play in their future life. First : The directive personality should be taught the general principles of morals and the principal laws of the land. It is obvious that this part of the educatiou should be made the main feature of the system, its aim beiug the moulding of the men and of the citizens of the future. Second: The human body should be made the subject of the study in the primary schools. To be competent, an engineer must have the knowledge of his engine, of its piirts, their arrangement and function ; he musit know how to keep it clean, in neat appearance and in working order; be must know how to use " it and keep it in repair. Same knowledge should be possessed by man in regard to his body, which is j the moat perfect engine in the world, t being the work of the Creator Himself. Third : The education of the children's intellect should have for object the training of their intellectjal faculties, such as their imagination, their judgment, their reason, their memory and their ability for speaking.These three features should be present inseparably in the primary school system of education. The majority of our children do not , go beyond the primary schools; yet, they are to form the largest part of our nation and to have their in handH th?shaping of its destinies; it i?, therefore of the utmost importance that they should receive a training adequate with their future duties and responsibilities. Through instructions and books presented in attractive and interesting I manner and forms, it would be as easy to teach our children tbeelements of morals, of laws, of human anatomy. of hygiene, of mechauics, of geol*? ' *? ?**?*? I VtiatAWtt mn Ant H . ui uaiuiui uiaiin jY wi oouuiiuujj, ( of chemistry, of oratory, etc., etc., an t to teach them the stories of "Little Red Riding Hood," etc., etc. Such teachings would leave in the | minds of our children ideas, the fenowl- t edge of which they could make use of $ in the future to advantage for them- < selves and for the country. ] Yours respectfully, t Meschine.

Prof. Tolbert a Successful Teacher. Lowndesville, 6. C., Aug. ?, 1909. Editors Press aud Banner : Last Friday night I went over from Willington to tbe Lethe Home and spent a very pleasant night with Mr. *nd Mrs. W. E. Hagan. Mrs. Hagan is a refined as well as an ndustrious lady. She keeps tbe Home ,u fine condition, and with her own bauds she has made a great mauy improvements that are ornamental to the place. When I made my first visit ;here two yearB ago she had just startjd a liower-yard and had plauted vines it each corner of the piazza, and her lowers had just begun to grow. Now ihe has a most beautiful fiower-yard in 'rout of the Home and her vines have uu from one corner of the piazza to he other and make a beautiful shade hat keeps out all the morning eun. There were about twenty-four chiliren taken care of this year at the Home. Mrs. Hagan sews aud makes ill the clothes for tbe children, aud Mr. Ha^an keeps them plenty of good ind sufficient rations. There are ten children at the Home at present and bey are cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Ha jan just as tbey care for their own jhihtren, and, really, if a stranger vists the Home, unless by favor, he \t\9\r\r\b to! I nrKi/>)i n i*a \f r unrl \fpfl Elagan's children. An old friend of nine came in while I was there and isked me which were Mr. Hagan's laughters. The same kind feeling aDd eepect seems to prevail with the chilIren towards Mr. and Mrs. Hagau. I noticed while there that they all, big md little, old and young, in speaking o Mr. and Mrs. Hagan, said "Papa" ind "Mama." It is really interesting o -visit the Home and see the close ties hat bind tbe children to the manager ind his good wife. The trustees have made many improvements in the last two years. They lave had waterworks put iu for tbe )enefit of the institution; tbe church las been repaired and madea very good )uilding; they have had all of the juildings painted. Part of the paiulng was done by the mauager. Afler je had finished painting the Home he iDgraved over the doors up and down itairs in beautiful letters : "Tbe Lethe 3ome." \T r TTonron oooma fn ha fho piffhf man n the right place. He understands" .he business around the Home and perorms his duty well. Heseems to take rreat interest in building up the place. He has built a splendid garden at home vhioh be says be did at his owq exsense. Mr. Hagan is also a tip-top 'ftrmer; he has the best crop of corn, jotton, peaviue and augar-cane forage hat I have seen this year. The trustees employed Prof. J. A. ralbert to teach the school at Lethe ast year and this year, and it seems hat be taught the school with much success, from the way I heard it spoken of by some ladies on the train. I aeard a lady say that she attended the ixhibition that they held, and Mr. ralbert and Mr. and Mrs. Hfegan made t a graod success. It is really a pleasure to visit the Lethe Home. W. C. Shaw.
