It. is a truti thM o be contradicted that lie wh4 *bows ather how to do a thing well, aims est know wow Co do it well himself, or tlii Sdeal principal aplied to the subjec fnder consideration sta'nds thus: For 1lh t#oher to instruct well lie must know hov W Instruct, and to our mind (lhe best nii tAa thorough way is for ench teachor t< %o through a course of norial trilining The physician, before lie is licensed (I practice, is required to devote two or thre< ears to lie special study of meiciEne. The lawyer, before lie is allowed to pine Ulce, must go through a course of legal in, atruction. The minister, before lie enter" the imipit, devotes a portion of his time i the study of theetogy. Why then is it not advisable that the teacher should be taughi how to teach before he undertakes it, eehiig is just as much a profession a, Law, Medkeine or Theology. Bit nizny denot. e 1o-k npon it. They look tpon the teacher more in the light of a coninon $aborer, and a great many think the cheap er he labors the better hand lie is. Whiki .e real truth is that there is no one thing at, requires more skill, more science, more planning and more arduous labor thatn school teaching when propely done. 11 then so many factors enter into the coipo ultion of the good teacher and so miuch is required and expected of him, tihe n1ecesity ofspecial training certainly follows. No man of common sense would hire a man tov build a house who was not a& catrpenter. No one woul thnk of hiirinig a man to make a .pair of shoes, who knew nothing about shoemaking. No one would em ploy a law yer to defend a case who knew nothing about law. It la reasoning in the samie wnanner when we saIy: No one of corann Sense would employ a personl whio knew bothing or but very lit tle about t he pr~o lesson of school teaching, to instruct his children. ~~"'Wethink it evident from lie foregoinig rmarks that he who expects to teach the~ "young ideai how to shoot"' shouild ha~ve h is own bow well strung, his own arrows well pointed and understand himself I ow to *edrive the centre. All are aware of the fact that we have a State Normal School which convenes once every year. This In,. Mtitution has been of great benefit, to the teachers of the State and through them to the children of tihe State. All teachiers who attend this Iustit ution pronounce it a comt plet~e success. We are advocatiuig that there should be a county normal school in every counity of the State as branchies of, and to work in harnmony withi. the State Nortmal School. An idea of the advan'ages which would follow from these county normal schools can be gathered from thle foregoing para ~ of the advantages that would r esult to theit teachers of our own county: 1t is a faict that not only Pickens County, but necarly every county in the State are deficient in good school teachers. They are deficient in many respects. Many of' them are young men and young ladies who are just assum ing the responsibilities and duties of teaching. They are at a loss how to select. text books. how to govern and disciiuin their schools, what is the best. miethod of teaching particular studies, what is the best method of dealing with chilhdren of ditferent dispositons and qualities, etc. Or in gen. era) words they do not knowv what meians t~o use In order to secure the gre~atest good to those whose instruct ion is commii it ted to, them. Now the one great object of a nor mat school would he to cure these defects. it is a very easy matter to see how thi3 can be done. A poet has truly said: "By union of heart and union of head,. Great deeds are done and great dliscoveriet By having a Normal School In our Coun ty, all the tschers in it could conic togethii ew ad by non of heads anid efforts be o 9,aaculaule benefit to each other. For in. stasce, oue teacher coul trake up a par icu. law subjict as, the best way to govern chii dres, and deliver a lecture or write an es sy ent it, and all tihe teuch ers would get she benefit of it. Another couldl take up a particular branch of study, GIrammuar or AtItbinetto and give h is exper'ence in the best mnode of teachiing it und in a thiouisand~ .eth.gwayseour teachers would be benefitted &bew*$et had the pleasure a year or two age of attsedlag the. Normal School of Oco. ese Opdvty and it required only a glanic athe wdrkings of the school to see what p.490o it. was accomplishing. All old pg*I phes will tell any inquirer tha ft naweay years to learn how to be 4~4ip~isohool teacher. Now if th<, ~ ~he of the county could hafv( jsai t~ty of attending this Normal spring the experience of the - soessful teachers, they would de which If left to themselves ~Afe time to alcquiire. ~ that there is no icceesi TRI, doti " th* roula not incur shold 46ey atted9ub at dme- And besides Wese county n"als would onl be a part ofshe o'ne-generAM'Sate Normal. The tuofk od each part of a whole accomplish es,'the moregood the whole wilt aocom plish. We bave cEhehvored to glv aa lea of the theory of normal teaching and scine of thbe nany practical advantages whieh 4o1w from it. Ihat it is agood uhlag e(ev on must a4nt. As we *At like good things an& are always ready -take hold of them, let. us have a good normal school in our own county, By so doing we can ma-ke instwrutolrs of our teachors and oholars of our tliilaren. As this is a matter which ooncerns the teachers of the connty, they are the proper ones to work it. up. Who will be'the flirst to come forth with a plan and suggest means for its accouplisliment. In our opinion such an organization would result in equally as much 'goed to Pickens County as the lailroad which we are so anxious about.. The Railroad will open up (le mat erial resources of (lie County, but the normal school will be the wedge to the solid development of our educational resources. Piclenis is on the high.way of progress generally, let her no't leave education neg lected but .pluce it in the front ranks and t will evown, success and natural progress after it. The scale of development in all lands and commtnities shonid bA first, Christianity, secotid, Educational Develop mueti., and third, National Development. It. will be seen fr om this scale that educa tion occupies tihe golden mean.
