O'er wujwurd childhood wouldst thou hold lion ru!??, And HUH thoo iii tho light of happy Taoes, ?.?iv?, 11 .>(>? uin? P??i?lK'C"-t?v?O iii?Si uO ! iiji grace?, And in th ino own heurt lot thom first koop school, - Coltriilgc, "Nil Doaporrmduin." Thc opportunity has come anti gone, and for the next twelve months Bennetts ville has concluded to be content with her schools as they are. Thc Principal and teachers of the Marlboro Graded School were naturally anxious to have thc school supported by taxation, as they would then have more material upon which to work, hut they recognized the main difficulty in thc matter, and this was thc insufficiency ot the tax. There were other reasons which influenced the Trustees of the school in this matter, but they were alraid to attempt to run thc .school lor the entire term on money just sufficient to conduct them tor six mouths and hence felt thatlhcy were doing their duly when they concluded that they would call no meeting to vote upon the question of "tax" or "no tax." We do not tlespair, however, and hope yet to see the day when the liberal spirit of the age will overcome all opposition, and the doors ol' school house in Bennettsville will bc open to rich and poor alike. Doing His Duty. .Superintendent Rice is canvassing his field of labor in the counties of South Carolina in order to learn the needs ol ihe schools, teachers and pupils. We are glad to note ibis sign of i mer est on Mr. Rice's part, and only hope that much practical good will result from his visits. Bennettsville awaits him. Al'lonsnut ICvonl. Rev. Mr. Corbett, ol' the Presbyterian Church paid a visit lo the Marlboro Graded School on Wednesday last. At the opening exercises ol the school he gave the pupils some excellent advice. Mr. Corbett spent the morning in visiting the various class rooms and seemed well pleased with the school. Crying Children. What to do with crying children is a vexed question among teachers. There are some children who cry at trilles, there are some who always cry, and yet again those who ci y in order to soften the teacher's heart when he has punishment ol any kind lo inflict. The best plan ye. tried to avoid these miniature "fountain" displays is lo pay no attention to thc cry ing child. Bid thc offending one sit up erect and say no more. Crying will soon wear out thc surplus supply of water, and quiet will be restored in the school house. Pronunciation. A great many teachers, mid ti groat many who aro not teachers, would feel burt to have one nay that they pronounce I li eil' mother tongue incorrectly in very un ny instances. Yet midi is (he casu, and there is .no doubt thal a reference lo tho orihopisis ol'the uay would assist many ol'us. If you are inclined lo doubl this, open your dictionaries and compare your pronunciation with thc true pronuti* eint iou ol' Mich words ns, dog, lost, rail lery, finance, sine, poor acoustics, i&o., &c. Poor Writing. It seems to bo tim rule fhat most ol' the pupils in any school are poor Writers. This may be remedied and a good way is to hnve pupils copy n groat deal from work placed upon ibo black-board. Send pupils to tliQ?ulnck'board frequently and have theni?rito sentences upon it, this will be I'ouinT to produce good results, Hard Work. "How do you manage to keep your class rooms so neal and clean" was n question propounded ino recently by a visitor to tho (iraded School. "By bo> ing scrupulously clean about my own do?k and requiring pupils to beheld no countable for ail lil (er on (he floor near their desks* and going from room to room during tho dny I comment on the ti di ri cns or untidiness of tho room and this spurs up pupils to be oloanly'n .?Worth Bonding." lt is with pleasure (lint wc hnve rent'. 1*01110 letters received by us from teachers in our Sfnt?, during the past week, in which they spoke of this Department of ?bc Marlboro DKMOOUAT, Thanks, fol* low worker*, for your kind words nod we shall always strive lo deserve your enco mium, and mnko this Pcpni tnioni "worth reading," oat Hwmatttura Mrm.i;i>iwwvieuii 4 This is tho Wook.

Thc entertainment promises to bo a good one, and all who cnn should attend. Marlboro Educational Booioty. This Society, composed of tho citizens of Beuncttsvillo, should havo a warm place in tim hearts of our pcoplo. They are generous in allowing the uso of their buildings, without rent, for a school house and in putting their hands iu their pockots in order io produce tho funds necessary to equip the schools lion ncttsvillo is blest with good school Trus teer, inc representatives of this society. t_.-iJJi THE PRIDE OP MARLBORO. Ronnottsvillo'a Exoollont ?ohoolr? awl Toaohsrs. A correspondent ol' tho Nows and Courier writing from Bcnncttsvillc, on tho 29th of January, luis this to say concerning our schools: "Onoof the pleasantest hours I havo spent in Bennettsville was as a visitor at tho regular monthly meeting of tho Marlboro' Teachers' Circle, ' which mel Unlay at 12 M., and which is ooiiiposcd ol' henny nil tho touchers ot the county. They meet monthly to discuss subjects ol' interest in tho ad vancement of schools and those di rectly concerned. The programme ol' the meeting was as follows : Music, duet, Mrs. Britton and Miss Ferguson. Essay on "Behool government," or "How to manage fifty pupils in a country school," by Mrs. Campbell. Vocal Music, MI'S, Britton. Address, "Requisites of a good school." .1. Ai McMumiy. Debate, "ls it necessary or expe dient for public school teachers to bo examined annually or biennially?" Affirmative: H. C. W. Shipp ; nega tive : 10. 10. Britton. Music, Marlboro Graded School choir. General discussion on various sub jects. After a motion to thank Mrs. Campbell ann Messrs. MeMurray and Shipp for their essay and addresses, I the Circle adjourned, to moot again on tho last Saturday in February. Prof. IO. ?. Britton, principal, and Mr. J. A. MeMurray, assistant, of the Marlboro* Graded School, are the president and secretary ol' tho Teachers' Circle. Among tile sub jects for general discussion was thc important one, tho management of stubborn and crying children. This certainly is very important, and re quires thc deep thought which tho teachers seem to have given it. Boiiii ott? viii o is certainly blessed with a line school, and Prof. Britton and his wile .seem determined to in crease tho advantages ol' the school, and moro than this, all thc teachers of thc county are enthusiastic in their work, and determined lo increase the dignity, trust and honor that is at tached to thc position of one who has to mould tho minds and morals of tho youth ol'the land. Prof. Britton is a good worker and disciplinarian, and the school, under his management, is said by those who know to bc equal to any in the State. AU the patrons are pleased, and tho scholars enjoy thc school so much that they can't bo kept away, lt is to bc hoped that thc plan to have a free school in Beti pottsville nil thc year will succeed, and that Prof. Britton will bo retain ed to carry it on and lo keep up tho high standard which thc prescht Behool under him has attained." How Washington Was Saved. South Carolinians will probably bc gratified to learn that the oil portrait <d'George Washington, which former ly adorned the walls of the Houso of Kepresen inti ves in tho State-House at Columbia, nnd was supposed to havo been destroyed when the Union forces burned that city, has been discovered and lhere aro prospects ol'its being re? turned to thc Slate authorities. Gen. NV. NV. Bo)knap, who was a member of Gen. Sherman's staff at tho ti hie Columbia was fired, and who subse quently became secretary of war in Grant's Administration, was presented to Governor Thompson a few evenings ago at a reception. After exchanging the usual courtesies, the conversation drifted on to South Carolina affairs during the lalo war. Gen. Bolknup, in relating his recollections of tho burning of Columbia, said bowns ono of the last of the Union soldiers to leave tho State-House. As he and his orderly wcro passing through tho Houso of Representatives lie observed tho large, portraits ol "Washington directly behind tho Speaker's chair. There were, also, several other large portraits hanging upon tho walls, which were doomed to perish in tho flumes. Ho pulled out his pocket knife and cut Washington's picture out of tho frame and hore it away as a souvenir and a war trophy. He says he might havo saved all of the pic tures in tho saino way, but his depart ure wits somewhat hurried. Thc Wash lng ton picture is now in possession of Gen. Bclknap.
