J; G. OLINKSCAiiES, Editob. ENTEU8ED. One teacher aaks whether there is such a word as "enthused." We have heard the word used, and most confess that we see no objection to it, though Mr. Web? ster seems to have been unacquainted with it. Like the word "heterqphamy" a ?newly-coined word sometimes used, which comes from two Greek words, it has not yet found its way into the dic? tionaries. INTELLECTUAL B0G8. There is a word often applied to per? sons living in England, but never in this country. It is "bog." It means one who has unlimited capacity for receiving, but never of giving. He only absorbs, absorbs, absorbs. It is a good word, and it would do well to transplant it Bogs /. Yea, it is a capital word, and applies to many persons. They are often round in institutes, amiable looking, even hand? some in appearance, well dressed, they Bit and look There is no inattention or trivial conduct, bat they only absorb. When a question is asked they can only shake and keep still. A marshy bog looks green and fruitful, bat it produces nothing that either man or beast can use. It is the same with institute bogs. All the lines of interest con verge on. them? selves.- All- the streams of thought run into the bog, of which they ere the cen? tral receptacle. They are continually receiving, but never giving. Don't be a bog?l The above paragraph is taken from The Teachers' Institute, that excellent ed? ucational journal published in New York, which we would be glad to see in every school-room in the County. The para? graph is only one of .very many interest? ing and suggestive ones found in the October.number cf that valuable paper ; and wo copy it because it gives direction, to some' thoughts which we have been; revolving in our mind for some time. The "bogs," or "intellectual sponges'1 as they are characterized by a distin? guished divine of our own State, are noil to be found in the Institutes and Teach? ers'Associations only, but all over the country. Anderson County has a goodly number. They absorb, absorb, absorb. Ia vain have we tried to draw out some of oar own; but they have a power of resistance that is perplexing. We have, some, as the Institute suggests, that are "'amiable looking, even handsome in ap pearaoce; well dressed, they sit and" read. They read good books; read good papers; teach successfully; read the Teachers' Column, especially the valua? ble selections from: able writers found therein from time to time; they some? times read tho suggestions made, by the editor of that Column; and yet, we sel? dom hear & word from them, not ft sylla? ble. Unlike the Inst?ute "bogs," they do not ?hohe, but simply absorb. This is wrong?wholly wrong. - Is there no de? vice that will enable us to draw out the teachers of Anderson County ? Is there no mutual sympathy ? no. curiosity that - would prompt them to ascertain how their fellow-laborers a-e getting along with the difficulties and trials incident to the teacher's profession? Why not make the Teachers' Column a running Normal Institute, make it take the place of the "question, box"? We can do it if we will. It must be a false modesty that would make our teachers blush to see their names in print. Well, if that is year difficulty, you can remove it entire? ly. Yonr names need not be published. Do our teachers never need help ? are they*perfect ? do.they never need light I Fortunate creatures 1 Fortunate crea? tures!! The Teachers' Association or? ganized last August means something or it means nothing. If it means some? thing, then let us.see something of its benefits to the teachers. Surely all the good we hope to derive from it is not to be expected from its annual or semi? annual meetings.' Mutual benefit is the avowed object of its creation. Every . teacher virtually pledged himself .to as? sist the others when he became a mem? ber of the organization. Why wait till the meeting of that body before making known the difficulties, when through the Teachers' Column we may be constantly receiving' and giving aid ? Have you met with no problem in arithmetic or algebra that puzzled you, and upon which you would, like to have some light thrown? Have you found no knotty point in grammar that you could make plainer to your pupils after a suggestion from some one of your fellow-teachers? Perhaps some one has met and solved the same difficulty. Now that the schools are running and we are at work again, let us keep abreast with our profession, and avail ourselves of every means that will enable us to benefit ourselves, bene? fit others, and benefit the cause of edu? cation. Since writing the above line-;, the fol? lowing communication, which we hope will draw oat other teachers, was handed tous:: I, as a teacher, would like very mach to know the method employed by the other teachers of.'the Corinty, by which they ascertain whether a student is mak? ing any progress in his studies, or wheth? er he is going to school merely to kill time, which I fear some of thorn do. If your pupils recite well, or if they make bad recitations, how are you to know how each one stands,, or, in other words, how much each pupil has retained or forgotten ? A pupil may recite well in any of his studies to-day, but by the end of a month, or even a week, he may not be able to answer a single question that was in that lesson. If this be true, how do you know what the pupil gains by going to your school, or, on the other hand, what he loses ? and how do you estimate the benefits you may have be? stowed upon him, or, in other words, of what value have you been to him ? It is a fact to be regretted that oar teachers, or some of them at least, judge what a student learos and retafos, simply by his recitations, which I know will not do, except in very extraordinary cases. Some teachers seem to think that what a pupil learns, he will never forget, or, at least, it appears that way. A person may go to school and learn ever so much; yet when he stops school he will become rusty, as the common saying is, unless he is constantly reviewing what he has passed over. It is the same way with the pupil in school. Now, the question is, What is a good plan to prevent the pupils from growing rusty? Have you found a plan that works well in your school for this purpose ? If so, it will be no harm to let some other teacher try it. If it does well ia your school, I am sure it may do well in another's school. ' My plan for ascertaining what a stu? dent retains, what he forgets, and also to prevent his forgetting all that ho does know, which he is apt to do, unless he is reminded of it occanionr.lly, is to have constant reviews and repeated examina? tions?written examinations, if possible. The children are fond of them, and the plan is a good one, I think. Try it in your school, if you have not already tried it. Respectfully, Teacheb. help the teaches. The confinement of the school-room, and the sedentary conditions inseparable from student life, are irksome to the young. Hence little children should, during the school-day, be allowed fre? quently to lay down their books and run out to play; and, when called in to books, they should never be kept long at any time?no longer than they can be interested in the lesson. To keep them longer is not only wrong, but useless, be? cause no one, young or old, learns any? thing in which the mind is not engaged. And when the little ones know from ex? perience that they are not to be kept long and physically worried, they will come cheerfully when called and readily give their atteution to the lesson. The inattention of teachers to these necessary precautions and plain principles has, doubtless, been the chief cause of dis? gusting most little children with books and with school. 1 Nor should the older pupils be ever taxed with a confinement to their books that strains their physical endurance. Experience has proved beyond question, that the half-day's schooling of modern times?when-a high degree of mental activity and interest is kept up by a due variety of studies?accomplishes mor,6, progress in education than was ever effected under the old all-day system. The foregoing will serve to indicate the main idea that we wish to present for the consideration of our readers. It is > that the voluntary application and hope; ^ul, cheerful,-personal efforts of every pupil are necessary to his or her advance? ment in the acquisition of literary knowl? edge. Every teacher who understands 'even the primary principles of his busi? ness knows that, and therefore exerts himself to stimulate his pupil to solf exertion. But it is a lamentable fact that comparatively very few parents seem to know it. Since under even the most judicious arrangements and best devised plans, all young persons necessarily find study and confinement disagreeable, and since the voluntary application of one's own mind is absolutely necessary % mental culture' and the acquisition of knowledge, it is obvious that the young constantly, need to be-impressed with the great impor? tance of becoming educated, or they will not cheerfully submit themselves to the necessary prerequisites of ever becomiug ?so. If the parent treats the child's edu? cation as a matter of secondary impor? tance, they cannot expect the child to regard it as of the very, first importance. And uuless children are taught to bo esteem it, they will never be educated, because they will hot apply their minds with the necessary earnestness and de? vote the necessary time to the achieve? ment of the object. How can any boy or . girl be expected to regard their education as of the very first and highest importance, so long as their parents are willing for them to lose a day or two every now and then from school, and not unfrequently a week or two, when there is no absolute necessity for such loss of time ? A visit of some friend to'the family, or-the occasion of some meeting or other public assembling of people in the neighborhood, even the advent of a monkey show, or the depart? ure of a friend from the railroad depot, is often deemed quite a-sufficient causej for school children to be allowed to stay away from their school exercises. All teachers know that children who are so indulged soon lose interest in their studies, and frequently they , fall behind their classes, and at length become ut? terly discouraged and give up all desire of standing well in their classes or of ever becoming well educated. The more young people go into company, the more they desire to go; and the more time they lose from school the .more they become averse to going to school! It is obvious, then, that the patrons of schools can, if they will, very greatly help the teacher to accomplish the work expected of him, and for the not doing of which he alone has to bear the blame. The way. for the patron to render the help due from him to both the teacher and the pupil, is simply to do every thing in his power to impress his child's mind with an exalted appreciation of the work in which he is engaged?the work of becoming well educated. This is to be effected by means both direct and in? direct. The direct means are such as will stimulate the child to regularity and to diligent application to his books. But the indirect are still more important and efficient: they consist in carefully removing from the way of school-children every thing calculated to divert their minds from the matter of their studies and education. When the. scholastic education and training, the great preparatory work for eminent usefulness in life, is completed, it is then quite time enough for students to go into what is called society. The writer has had large personal experience at several different Colleges, and never knew a single instance of any youth being a real student who went much into society. The. enjoyment, of society and studious habits are utterly incompatible things, and one must take his choice be? tween the two. If all parents who de? sire the education of their children, only knew this fact, they would, doubtless, so order and regulate the habits of their children as to greatly assist the teacher in doing the work for which they pay him, and thereby reap, not only the full value of their expended money, but great and lasting satisfaction in the subsequent success and usefulness of their children. Then help the teacher to accomplish that for which you pay him, or you cannot expect it ever to be done to your perfect satisfaction, because both you and be have your appropriate part to perform in the great work of getting your children properly educated. Lewis M. Ayer. ? An orator, who had raised his audi enoe to a great height by his lofty soar ings. exclaimed: I will now close in the beautiful and expressive language of the poet?I forgot bin name?and?and ?I forgot what he said too." ? SIcrcs Scaumbufg was rompiug with hifl youngfat offspring tho other day. In order to test the child's affection, he aaked: "Shacob, vicli you loves most, me or your mudder ?" "Ilufsyou most by twenty-five per shent." Ask the Price. Whenever I want any thing I always ask the pric- of it, whether it be a new coat or a shoulder of mutton, c pound of tea or a ball of pack-string. If it ap? pears to be worth the money I buy? that is, if I can afford it; but if not, I let it alone; for he is no wise man who pays for a thing more than it is worth. But not only in the comforts of food and clothing, but in all other things, I ask the same question; for there is a price to a day's enjoyment as well as to a joint of butcher's meat. The spendthrift sets his heart on ex? pensive baubles, but he does not ask their price; be is, therefore obliged to give them bis houses, his lands, his friends and his comfort; and these are fifty times more than they are worth. The drunkard is detormined to have his brandy and gin and his strong ale ; and he never makes the price an object; so he pays for them with his wealth, his character, and his peace?and a sad bar? gain he makes of it! It is the same with others. The gamester will be rich at once, but riches may be bought too dear; for he who is getting money aluo gets the habit of risking it on the turn of a card or throw of the dice will soon bring pounds to pence. The gamester pays for his riches with his rest, his reputatiou and his happiness. Do you think, if the highwayman asked for the price of un? godly gain he would ever commit rob* Eery ? No, never 1 But he does not ask the price, and foolishly gives for it his liberty, if not hi? life. Ask the price of what you would pos? sess, and make a good bargain. A little prudence will secure you a great deal of peace. But if, after all, you will have the pleasure of sin, I pray consider the price you must pay for it.?Evangelical Churchman. ?

It li a notable fact that the people of Atlanta and olsowliore are beginning to be thoroughly convinced that 'worthless compounds become "shaky" at all new Innovations, while an honest preparation never fears opposition. We do not propose to "wipe out" others, as tke field for ope? ration is large, and wo accord to one and all tho same privileges ire onjoy. Wo are not so far lost to business principles as to [denounce any other remedy as a fraud, or imitation, or as containing a vegetable poison, tho effects of which arc horri? ble to contoinplatc. Tho alarm need not be sounded, for there is ample room for all declining anti-potash, pine-top, slop-water compounds. If one bottlo of B. B. B. is more vnluablo in effects than half a dozen of any other preparation, we won't get mad about it. If ten bottles of B. B. B. cures a case of blood poison which others could not cure at all, It only proves that B. B. B. is far the best medicine. 20,000 Bottles of B. B. B- bare been sold to parties living inside the corporation of Atlanta since it was started two years ago! Why this wonderful sale of a new remody in so short a time with so little advertising ? .' It must be confessed that it is because B. B. B_ has proved itself to possess morit in the cure of blood, skin and kidney diseases. Hundreds of homo certificates attest tho fact of our claim that In Atlanta and many other points B. B. B. "are on top," and will stay there. Many persons desire to know how the B. B.; B. -at ts on the system. By entering tho circulation, it modifies the vitiated blood globules, Increases 5the red corpuscles,' an? tagonizes all poison, vitalizes and regenerates the flagging forces, furnishes the pabulum for rieb, new blood, eliminates all poison through tho se? cretions, and increases the appetite, while, by Its wonderful action upon the pores of the skin, the kidneys, liver and glandular system, all effete and impure matter Is speedily conducted from tho body, leaving the blood pure, freBh and healthy. ' By its magical alterative powers, B.B.B. unloads the blood of all impurities, unlocks' tho liver, arouses all secretions, restores nature to its nor? mal condition, unclouds the troubled brain, clears and beautifies the complexion, cheers the despon? dent, strengthens the feeble, claims the disturbed nerves, ant Induces quiet and peaceful slumbers.
