They read whatever literature they can get, being unable to discriminate botvveeu life good and the bud, tho suitable and the ucsuitabic. Tho thoughtful, watchful teacher can do much in the way of directiug Lis inquisitive pupil, but he can not wholly take tuo place of the parent whose duly it is to supply the child with such reading matter a? will develop his faculties ay tu metrical ly, aol withhold or take Iron him such a* will have a pernicious i nfl leuce on his mimi and morals. Tho parent supplies food foi the body ; let him supply food fur the mind, or, iu thc euee of a blasted lile, take upon himself the blane. Many parents are not competent to judge of the merits or deine, ila of liter:.tm " for their children : let the teacher (teachersought to be competent) help tho pnrenin in this matter. Many bright, promising mimi* have been dwarfed by the lack ol' Vome thing wholesome to feed upon ; and many have been ruined, eternally ruined by the appropriation of damaging litera ture. A few dollars judiciously expended for good books and papers would save many tears and sighs, uud bless the wurld with many useful lives. Nowaday.-, books are cheap. Any bright boy can, beginning at tho ugo of ten, by saving what be wastes incidentally, accumulate a neat, little, haudsnmc, valuable library before he is twenty one. Du our teachers ever think to tnaku such suggestions to their pupils? Have the patrons uf the public schools ever thought ubnul tin importance of accumulating u librar) for their children while they are growing up7 We speak of tho children of the public schools becuuso with those dil dren we have to do. In their welfare we are most particularly interested. A fen months in tho year they ure in school : during the other months they must ht directed and encouraged und laught bs their parents, or be loft to pine and dwan for the want of somethiug to Iced upon. More on this subject hereafter. In response to our call, Mr. Wutklux writes : "Should teachers hnvo exercise simply for cultivating the memory ol their pupils, or du the usual branches ol Study au iii cien fly develop thia faculty ? If the ttainiug in such as it should bu, i seems that there can hurdiy be a necessity for anything out of the usual course ot study being introduced. At thu ver> beginning thero ara twenty-six different shapes and names to be learned, then the sounds of each of these shapes, and afterwards the combination of sounds ; then tbe arrangement of letters iu spell ing words, iu all of which, memory ie almost the only agent. Reading ma) serve to strengthen or weaken th? memory, this depending on tho munnei in which it ?B taught. Pupils reading without understanding, going over a pugi without knowing what it means, getting. - ideas thrown together in a confused inns?, without hating tho thought 'mingin clearly before their minds not only ba v. their memories weakener!, but form the habit of thinking impt?feclly, and the very foundation of their mental training becomes defective. Teachers should require their pupils to get auch u cleat conception of what they read that then shall be no clouded views, but that tin thoughts of the author may stand oui clear and distinct, fur ideas fully undm stood are easily retained in tho mind m may be readily recalled, while the mino turns away with something of aversion from things we have read and fulled to understand. A good plan is to requin pupils, after tbey have read a paragraph, a page or a lesson, to give tho lend inf. thoughts in their own language. Be< quire them to talk intelligently on tin topics discussed in history ; let geography be so studied that each map muy ris* before their minda as tho places are named. Under this system it will be found that tbe memory will he developed, and the mind traiued to accurate ami systematic thinking at the same time." The following from The Home OUCH will give us* some idea what the pubi c schools io the large cities ure doing: "One of the beat teats of a system of ed ucation is its thoroughness with different Linds of children. In the public school of the leading cities uf thc United State-, lt.is very noticeable to dud a genera proficiency in such branches aa penman ship and drawing. A whole class will be brought to a standard of excellence which would be remarkable in a few ol the pupila. Thia proves a good system and intelligent teachiug. It ia a coudi tioo of affairs that does away entirely with the old idea that somo buys am. girts can never learn. No matter what their disposition or home surroundiugs asaoon'as they fall under thc teaching and discipline of the public school tbej mutt leura, There .If do harshness in it either. It is rather because the methods are better than. ovor before and In tl e bands of thoap^ho know how to make them?u?!oa*aJffr" We are grateful to our friends in An derson and Wiliiainaton for their kind attention during our recent illness, and ' to those' In tho County who wrote us letters of sympathy.

Georgia on Prohibition. Judge T. J.

He .aid: "I urge upon you, gentlemen, tu .ee thal luis law is respected und en forced. If you will support it by a beuny public sentiment und help to punish those who violate it, you will soon nave very little use tor grand juries unit irimiliul Gi urta in your County. I have presided as Judue in ul ni 041 every section d Georgia, and I find that violations ol he criminal law mo nearly three fourths ts great in those counties where whiskey ls retailed as in the counties where pro liihition is enforced and respected. The .ind of whiskey now used seems to give nen a homicide mania. When undents i II iliieticc they are not satisfied with fm md skull lighting, lilli usc implements ikely lo produce death. Men may still :ontinue to buy whiskey and drink it in ipite of your prohibitory law. They will 10 doubt send to Atlanta and get it by he jugful, hut il is better that it should mme only by tin* jugful than by the bur el and hogshead. The evil influence of jar rooms and bar room associations are liso avoided. When men buy whiskey >y the jugml and carry il to their hornea md drink it in thu pres Mice nt their vives and children they are not so likely o drink to excess, nor do they so fro intently commit crime wbilo under il? liflucncc when away from the evil infill mees that always follow and surround etail liquor shops.
