M. Ba ker, clerk, United Stated senate" I'OMJML80K? TKAfHIKO. We wish to shake hands with our corr<|?pondqnt from B?mes station j who comments upon it recent letter' from un Anderson county teacher. It was our Intention Id comment niton' the letter from the teacher at the time! that it appeared, but we did not haw the opportunity. Our correspondent from Barnes has expressed our Idea exactly. The people, pay taxes lo maintain the ! teachers" colleges at the University and at Winthrop -although as a mat ter of fact vc would prefer some of the teachers from .ijie denominational coll?ge?, for the teacher Ik horn and not mad". 1 The people support the eachern after they l?avc the colleges, j j Are these teachers lo Ik; mere aulom-j atoms to sit In class room and receive written lessons and to pile up the purchase of copybooks and "litera ture" and other,jopnsehitles? We em ploy that word because these hooks when properly used are no doubt very helpful, but In l\(o room of a teacher j I that is a mere incumbent, it is u waste or money to buy copy books for chil dren merely to scribble upon. The derivation pf the word "to ' . ...IM ' teach" means that the person to whom this great responsibility Is confided must Indeed impart instruction. Teach ing is not. to be <Jon<: at home, ulthough We rogret to say that most of it is dono-there these days, and th:re is some of tho shoddiest, cheapest work dono In .the schools that ever passed, under the nume of teaching. . "An Anderson County Teacher" sure ly must have been Jesting about the excellence of the school books. The aritlum-t ics used In school these days seem planned for no other purpose than the wrecking of home life' and the utter destruction of the minds of children. Let us buck to the days bf the good old arithmetics with rules and reasons. Let us back to the days or compulsory teaching, when the par ent did not have to (to all or the work and then have some misfit of a teacher I spoil It all.- When - it .comes to tho school methods of these days we are pessimistic. We .believe in compulsory attend ance upon schools but at the same time .un h..i|i.v.. in ?o!?n?!-crv teichlc*. We believe that the person who asks for and receives a job as teacher has a high responsibility and ' should at all times measure up to it. The standards for teachers should be raised and the pay raised accordingly. We believe that books : should not be changed, with such,frequency. Schools are to impart principles not to instruct In fads. . , : -. mf^f) -*> .- . -'r-- . A WOOD ( OKHIRATION We have been struck with the fact that corporations may be good or bod according to environment For in stance in one section the Southern Hail way company migiw be consider ed a monopoly and working against the Interests of the people. In an-! other section i?- might be a protector of the people by entering a territory that had been pre-emptied by some other corporation. Just ho with the Seaboard. This road was projected by John Skelton Williams with the idea in view of de veloping the south and of-competing with other lines of railway. Just see what It ban done for the south! What would Columbia be today if it had not been for the coming of that great line of the people. The' Sea board not only spent upwards of ?a million dollars to get into the city of Columbia, but caused the Southern to build a new line to make Florida con nections. The help that Columbia re ceived from the Seaboard can never be computed. since that time the. Seaboard h?s built to Hartsvllle, Darlington, Flor ence, Suinter Hem tlsvllle. Marlon Mid Georgetown, all old settlements -hat had been practically "bottled up" by the Coast Line. The Seaboard also built new lines into virgin territory ^ It has been the one road projector and builder'in South Carolina in the last ton years. The C. C. & t>. has built a line to Spartanburg, but has not branched out?and it is supposed to be a double first couMn of the. Seaboard. Therefore when we hear of W. F. Stevenson being referred to as "Seaboard Bill" we take it that the is being complimented for his con nection with .a great' friend of the people of his section of the state. ** ?*?* ft***-** I THfS IS #A>KM?NG * * The Six and Twenty * * .correspondent of The * * Daily Inte.Tigencer sends * * 41,;-.. .US* - ? ? ~ ^ - .-* 1-. *t [nia fit m iiiitti iimiiun. * Mr. B.

A PA KENT KKIMJE.S Take? issue With Teacher on .Certain Propositions Editor Tho Intelligencer: In your issue of the 14tit inst., an article appeared addressed to the pa rents of Anderson, but signed, "An derson county teacher." if this writer is a county teacher, why address the parents of Anderson? We would iove to think that the teacher was mis quoted in that ofen letter. Tho letter In part says: "Tho school books, of today are prepared with ut most care, anil the explanations given have proved adequate to the average mind and that lack of application on the current lesson or the lack of brain are tho two possible reasons for the, child not understanding the lessons; assigned. Solomon is tho wisest par ent that we have any account of and we are taught that he had a thousand' wives, but one soff; and that he was a fool. Tho parents and children today are many generations from' Solomon,, jNo??-. will the teacher consider this j fact and let up on the. parents with their .children. j Again, "Teacher" says: "It is the I worst possible injury for the parent to do the work, for the boy." And yet, [how often the boys are sent home (with instructions from "teacher' to let your mother or your papa help you, or learn you your lesson, not ! withstanding the fact that the county 'and state has employed "teacher,, and the pay Is sure, to instruct the child ren without much brain, and if it is all the same wi 1 the teacher, Just re vorse the order of things, t-=aoh the children their iesson at school and let-them recite to their parents.
