The teacher must be his own judge as to his beat method for excititig thc inter est of his pupils in any particular study or subject. Ol* one tbing; however, he may bo certain : ho himself must be thoroughly interested. Some of the examination papers pre sented to tho Hoard inst week were very creditable; others were miserubly botch ed affairs. Tho average is good, better, perhaps, than in January, and wc feel encouraged. Let us hope for still greater improvement. ' Prof. W. S. Morrison lins been employ ed by tho Examiug Hoard to conduct the (Vu.ly Normal. Mr. Morrison is Super intendent of tho Graded Schools in Spar enburg, lie is u gentleman of experi ence and ability, mid will do his share toward making the Normal a success. Let hie. have the hearty co operation of tho teachers nnd of the public generally. In some of the Townships the public schools will not bc opened during tho Summer; in others they will open when, in tho judgment of tho Trust?es, it will beat suit thc convenience of the patrons to send. Let tho Trust?e? in tho rospec tivo Townships decide the matter and adviso tho people accordingly. Tho Garvin Board requests us tu announce that theirs will uotopen until November. 8INOXNG HOBMAL. Tho Normal Singing School is becom ing ono of the recognised institutions of iuu Guiltily. Gui ?t?u?da in tho Salem neighborhood appreciate its beniils, and, indeed, Ibo singing folks all over tho County seom to bo determined to keep abreast with tho times. Prof. Shownlter needs no introduction to tho people of Anderson County. His amiable charac ter aa well ns his wonderful ability in the art of teaching music havo already made their impress upon tho hearts and minds of*ail who know him. Wo hopo we may be ablo to arrange so that parties wish? ing to attend both tho Teachers' Normal and tho Singing Normal may have oppor Mr. D. II. Russell writes ou Juno 21 : "Wo were very much disappointed that you did not 'let the light of your couti tonanco shino upon us' on tho night of the 18th innt. Wo closed our Behool with an Exhibition that night, of which the people who were present spoke well. We are all now taking a three weeks' rest, and while we are resting we are thinking over some things that we have beon reading in the Teachers' Column during the past six mon thu. And among' others is that Teachers' Convention. I vote for that every time, or something in the way of a Teachers' Institute or a Teachers' Association. Let us get to-:j gether and compare our ideas, not only about tho best method of teaching, but also about 4hg;beat changes to make lil tbe existing iehool ku/. That it ia radi cally detective Weryono" who bas taught school under: it will admit, I presume. One of its glaring defects is its giving to tho Btate Board the right to select such a wido^r?ngo gf. texl-booksfb^.e?ah branch of Bf^y^jp9'^Pst ^veryllfe?ober, pj?r haps, has been confronted oh the first day of school with tue great di Iii cul ty of organizing the school on account of tho multiplicity of text-books. Some havo Appleton's Beaders, some have Rey nold's, some have Recd A Kellogg's Grammars, others Quackenbos', and still others, Ini tu; Sm i th 'p. . I do not argue that these are noS- f.; o od text-books, but what I plead for is system and uniformi ty. It is possible for tho teachers to meet with five di Oe .ont text-books on tho j mo study or Grammar, Vis: Smith's, Quackenbos', Reed & Kelloge's, Sill's, and Whitney's. Another defect is the having a Board of three Trustees for each Township. There isho valid reason why one man could not do all that tho three do, and then responsibility could bo fixed upon: bin), ^ftwfrmmh tinada teacl(eriB and others who haveouslness with them lose in going from ono$o anbtHoiTi Abd is it not a faet, that, as a general thing, some one on iho Board 'runs tho ma* chine V Such' has been the writer's ex p?rience.

Th wWte* of . this orUcIo reraember?;;^^ upon ona occailou when passing tbrou?h Che ftotJ^ij^?AfC jit Fenoeylyanlr. on a through train, the passengers suddenly found themselves switched off to allow a special to pass. Upon inquiry it was ss* certaincd that tho special was conveying a number of persons to an evening lec ture at ". couuty institute in a neighbor ing town. No sooner bad the trainman tnado the explanation than with one ac cord thc male occupants of the car rush ed to the windows, and as tho special passed, the exclamations, "Look at the school ma'ams ! See the school ma'ams !" could be heard from almost every ob server. The indignation of the ladies ld thc car was evident and righteous, for tiley well knew timt thc exclamations were sarcasm instead of admiration ; they knew, loo, that thc men who uttered them prided themselves upon their own gentility and position in society ; they knew, too, that there were os many gen tlemen as ladies in tho special train, and that the school ma'ams were of necessity already attending tho institute-all of which only increased their contempt for tho miserable and misapplied expressions of sarcasm. Hut this is not true of Penn sylvania alone. It is an open secret that many of the fashionable summer resorb?, both ut the senshoro and near thc large cities, dislike and in some CUBIS refuse to advertise boarding for teachers "for fear thal the society ladies from tho chien will not patronize them." Nor is this fact true of tho publie, schools atone. Tho writer well remembers that when her class graduated at - Seminary, one of tho young ladies, wiro had a mar ried brother living in u Western eily, desired to go there to teach n private school. She wrote to her brother, uskinp him lo usn his influence to secure r HCIIOOI. He replied that ''ho would he glad lo have her . ???? him, hut he did not wish bei to tench, because if sho did HIH would nut be admitted into the saint society in which ho and his wife moved.' The brother was a railroad conductor and yet his own Hinter would not be hi lowed to ossociato in the samo circle ? she taught school !

There are sumo scraps of history w* occasionally meet floating round in th newspapers that nre of interest mid wil bear repeating. It has been a long tim nineo tho following incident occurred, bu as it is not fiction mit fact, it is ombalm cd in tho truth of history, and will b repeated by tho coming generation especially of Ibis State where it occurred Tho writer of this knew Mr. Jordan well and studied law with him in the office o Leitner & Vernon in Spartanburg it 1812. Ho was a poor young man, bu earnest, energetic and ambitious, and wa nobly battling with adverse circumstan cc?, and fighting his way to eminenc and distinction, lie won both wealtl aud fame and reached thc position e Attorney General of Arkansas. Josepl E. Brown, tho other party to the traniac lion, is uow United States Senator fron Georgia, and perhaps tho wealthiest mat in the State.. Tho following appeared li tho Little Hock Oaz?ltc, soon after th death of Mr. Jordan, which occurred J fow years since. "Tho lato Pleasant Jordan, of this city who was at one time Attorney Genera of the State, used to tell n charncterlsti story of Mr. Brown. Mr. Jordan was a ono time, in his carly years a countr Behool teacher in South < >arolina, camin? mcanB to prosecute hi? purpose of study ing law. One day Ibero came to bi Behool house n lean, guant, ungainl; youth, in possession of a pair of youn? steers, representing the sum total of hi worldly stores. I Ile Informed Mr. Jordsi that ho wsnted'to enter his school, bu had no money or property except th two steers, which he had driven ia fror 3 considerable distance. With the aid of Mr. Jordan, the youn( man succeeded in disposing of the steer for money enough to pay for his tuitioi for one session, while a kind beartei planter in the neighborhood volunteers ;to boatd him, gratis.

A Noble Offering, Tho superintendent of one of th street car railways leading out of Net York into the country, told a touchin story to a friend the other day whic found its way into a city paper : Sitting alone in his omeo one day, strange gentleman entered^ who prove to be an officer in the army.

J The* ^?ew York Ev?^tmg l'ont baa ex unlined the efn?stics of ihe deaths io the Vu i ut) army during thc Confederate war and obtained ifeaulis that will surprise nine out of every ten readers. The first discovery is that Uelawarc, a (dave State, furnished a larger number of troops to Hie Union army, in proportion to her available military population, than any other State in any part of the country! 'Tho other Border Statee did 'nearly aa badly, or, as the Pod pula it, "oearij aa ?roll. Maryland liad 00,810 men in the Union army. Kentucky had 711,020 and Missouri 109,1 ll. Weat, Vir ginia gave 32,008 soldiers to tho union army und ISaat Tennessee 31,092. Alto gelber, these nix Southern Staten contri buted 310,202 mea to tho d?fonce of the I'nion, while 23,010 caine from other Southern Stair i, makiog a grand total of 3:58,327 from that part of thc country iu which slavery existed. It appear? that almost one-eighth of thc Union army came from tho South, und the 7W thinks that it is hardly too much to say that Ibo National cause could not have triumphed without this help. Its?vM: '?With 'jona'derably moro than 800)000 irleh taken from thc fight ing force for Hie Uuion, and given to tho Confederacy, the succccs of tfie Federal Government could hardly have been hoped for." Even if over one hundred t hu ii - uid "colored troop?" came from the Southern States, the ex-Confederates have . tho melancholy satisfaction of kuowing that lt was the 20?.OOU wiiite men whom tho Holder States contributed te (he Union causo who broke the back of the Confederacy. Had tho South renMy been solid, the Noith would have been defeated. The conduct of tho Union men in the Border States is additional proof that the war was not fought by tho North for the abolition of slavery*. The Southerners who went into the Union army came from sluvcholding States, and were as deeply interested in slave property as tho soldier.-* in che Confederate army were. It is hardly likely that they would have taken up arms for the abolition of slavery, which meaut to them the loss of a large part of their own property, cr that of their refntjve? ami friends. They fought for the Union, and not for the nlaves.-New* and Courier. A Father's Foolish Promise. A cent acorns of little value, but if it is only doubled a fow times it grows to a marvelous sum. A young lady in Port land caught her father in a rash promise by a knowledge of this fact on her part. She modestly proposed that if her father would only give her 1 cent on ono day and double that amount on each success ive day for just one month, sho would pledge herself nevor lo ask of him nn o'.hor cent of money as long as 8he lived. Not stopping to run over tho figures in his head, ami not supposing it would amount to a largo sum, he was glad to accept tho oller at once, thinking it also a favorable opportunity to include a pos sible marriago dowry in tho future. On tho twenty-fifth day he became greatly alarmed lest if he complied with Ina own acceptance, ho might be obliged to be "declared a bankrupt on his own peti tion." But on the thirtieth day this ?oung lady demanded enly the pretty ittlo sum of *0,368,70(i.l2. The aston ished merchant was only too happy to cancel tho claim by advouolug a hand some cash payment for his folly in allow ing himself to give a bond-for his word he couaidered aa good aa bia bond without noticing the consideration there in expressed, and by promising to return to tho old custom of advancing ?maller sums daily until otherwise cJorcd. - "flayer' go back," advises a writer. ''What you attempt, do with all your strength." This may be good advice, but lt wouldn't work aatisfactorily.
