wm mrwii?*i)iiitiiyiiiiiiiTTiiirii>r"ffnii"ni\?.??? - Educational Department. BDWAUD E. f??ITTON - - Editor. For Ilooiling. In every language there is a tenn that is endeared to many hearts. In our tongue wo call it Fattier land. When wc unito our language and our land the union is strong indeed, as will be seen from this selection by ?Samuel Lovor, entitled: FATHER LANI) AND MOTHER TONGUE. Our Fnihor lund! And would'st thou know Why wo should <;?// it Futhor Innd? Is it thnt Adam horo below, "Wns III ntl o of earth, by Nnluro'8 Ininti, And ho, our Father, in ado of onrlh, Until peopled onrlh on every hnnd; And wo, in memory of his birth, Do call our country "Fnihor land." At first, in E?UM'B bewers, they fay, No fourni ofspcooh had Adam caught, liut whistled Uko n hird, nil day; And uiRybo "twa? for want of thought: Rut Nnturo, with resiatloas laws, Mudo Allum poon surpass tho bird?; Sho gnvo him lovely Evo-bcomise, If ho'd n wife-they must have (conto. And BO, tho Native land I hold Ry malo desoont, is, proudly, minc: Tho language as tho lalo halli told, Was givon in tho fomato lino, And thus, we yeo, on cither hand. Wo ?amo our blessings whence they've sprung; Wo cal) our country Father lund, Wo call our language Mother tongue. Tho Public. Bohoola. Tho Newberry Observer, who is certainly not ir. sympathy with the free school .system, MWS: Tho Laurens Advertiser agrees with the Observer that the Constitution re quires the term to be at least six months; but objects to the plan of pay ing $10 a month from tho public fund and supplementing all schools by pri vate subscriptions because, it says, this destroys tho free part of the school. Not at all. On tho contrary, it gives a free school of six months. We object to this plan, because if a tuition fee, however small, has to bo paid in our public fchoole, it is not a free school. No good teacher can work for $10.00 a month; then if he must depend upon private subscrip tions to make out a reasonable salary, and if a child is unable to pay the tuition, he cati gd no benefit from the school fund. We took occasion some time ago, to eal) the attention of the school trus. tees for this district to the fact, that the town of Laurens bas no free school. The money given to this dis trict is apportioned out to all the schools, and so long as it lasts, those who can pay tho tuition get a rebate to the amount of his proportionate share of thc fund. There are chil dren in this as in other communities who cannot pay even a small fee, and tho consequence is they cannot go to school at all. Il thia private subscrip tion would not shut out those who arc unable to pay, the scheme might work well, but we do not see bow that cnn be done. Who is it that will say to one "pay" and to another "no pay." -Laurens Advertiser. The Newberry Observer is right when it says that when public money is received by a school it becomes a publie .school, no matter how small thc amount paid. Article 10, Section 10 of the Con stitution says: All thc public schools * * * * supported in whole or in part by the public funds shall be free and open lo all thc children and youths of tho State. ***** We suggest that the Advertiser rall the attention of the trustees it speaks of to this section of tho Constitution.

Six Monthn. Wo most respectfully call the at tention of our contemporaries who have been demanding that thc public schools he run six mont lis on barely enough inonoy for two or three months to the language used in Sec tion 1014 of the Statutes of South Carolina. It roads as follows: "The school year shall begin annually on the first day of No vom bor; but each County Board of Examiners shall have power lo limit the school term ac cording to the school fund of their county, and to regulate thc opening and closing of tho schools in such manner as will best subserve the edu* cut ional interests ol' difieren I locali ties." Start Early. Child training begins, and child character is formed,much earlier than most persons suppose. A child whose training is not fairly started before he is six weeks old, is likely to be a loser for life because of luis neglect. And tho permanent trend of a child's char acter is likely to be given by the time he is seven years old. Many a child is not counted by his parents oh! enough to bo fairly under training until his habits and his character nr< practically already influenced for al time.- S. S. Times. Writing by Periods. A method that has been sucecssfu with children, is to tell them that fig ure? live in little families, three in j family, and each ono has its name ac cording to the family. Roprcsen 000,000,000. Pointing to thc differ cut period.?, ''Thc first one is where al tho units live, the second the thom ands, and thc third tho million! Now, notice when I call oil'the lamil name and put each ono in its home If I say ten millions, it is just th samo as if I said Johnny Million: Millions is its name, and put it i millions' homo." Kemi slowly, an separate at first distinctly tho nam of tho period from thc number lo I: placed in that period. "When vi cnn ci es occur and other members < the family Ure not at homo, put i ciphers." Tho method creates consii erablo amusement and interest. Tbo Spirit. When the student is trans?a tu from a foreign language, especial from thc flossies, the teacher is vei apt to measure the quality of the pc fbrniiVnce by the literalness of tl translation, livery proposition, eve interjection, every case or ten signification, must fi n d verb expression in English, no nu tor at what sacrifice of sense ai spirit. But translation is not tl same thing as transliteration. Tl student's aim should not be to get t Greek or Latin words into Engl is but to convey the sense and spirit the writer. Wc are convinced th this is one of the most promine faults in the classical instruction the present. And it does not end the mero usc of language. It has narrowing, cramping influence on I mind, instead of developing tli breadth of view and compreliensi which ought to come from classic study. It is surprising, too, how grt an influence for evil this ult ra*) tte! translation luis on the student's lit lish style. Wo have known nunn ons instances where the peel! I hil Greek and Latin idioms have bc quite as numerous in a composition essay as tho English. The result nal u ral ly enough, a forced, art ifici and awkward style. Our elnssii teachers, especially th uss who hu the supervisi?n of the younger pup: cannot be too careful in demanding translation which shall not ncgh thc spirit while it interprets thc let of tho author.-Ex.
