'Our good friend "Slocuni GJleon" submlte to tho Advertiser "which la the dark of the moon, from the new to the full, or from the full to the new." Now the moon la a little jade of a planet and the boys and girls are justi fiable in dallying with all questions of that coquettish vixen. The highest authority Is that she was placed In her orbit to give light by night. She pours her silvery flood upon us for about fourteen radiant nights and then showers It for other fourteen upon our almond-eyed friends, the antipodes. So, from the full to the new, must for us be the "dark of tho moon," In common parlance. But Byron hints that there is a sight of wlokedness under that In* nocent looking planet as compared to the honest old sun. We only hint with out warning our youthfl friend, "Slo cum." And now the delicious strawberry smothered in golden cream should be on the table of the toiling farmer. The good housewife who looks after the garden should see to this. And the thrifty farmer should meet the good help-meet more than 4 way in her ef forts in this direction. And he should not growl about her eabaglng the ma nure for her pet patches and flowers.?

Dear Brethren and Sisters: Tbe undersigned, in behalf of the Ex ecutive Committee of South Caro lina Sunday School Association, aek your attention to the following: 1. The. Association at its meet ing last year deoided to employ a Field Secretary and Superinten dent of Normal Work for South Carolina and elected Prof. R. O. Sams, of Gsffney, to the important position. 2. In arranging the details of his work tho Executivo Committee have provided that he shall attend, if possidle, all of tbe county conven tion? to be held this year, and ren der all possible aid in making them successful!. He will not only strive to stimulate and instruct thoBe at tending the meeting, but will glad ly oonfer with county officers and other Sunday Sohool workers, and assist-in calling and advertising the meetings, arranging program?, cre ating interest in advance of meet ings etc. 3. In order to make it practica ble'for him to attend each county convention, a schedule of dates tor holding their meetings was pro posed by the State Convention, to which the counties are requested to con form as far as possible. In cases whoro tho time for holding county conventions bad already been fixed and cannot be changed, we suggest that Normal Institutes be held on the dates suggested by the State Convention, and the presence of the Field Secretary secured, as he may not be able to attend the regu lar conventions when held on dates other than suggested. Tbe sched ule proposes is as follows : Beaufort County?April 2-3. Hampton County?April 4-6, Barnwell County?April 9-10. Colleton County?April 11-12. Charleston County?April 16-17. Berkley County?April 1819. Williamsburg County?April 28-24 Georgetown County?April 25-26. Horry County?April 31-May 1. Marion County?May 2-3. Marlboro County?May 7 8. Chesterfield County?May 9-10. Darlington County?May 14-15. Florence County?May 16-17. Sumter County?May 21-22. Clarendon County?May 23-24. Orangeburg County : May 28-20. Aikon County: May 30-31. Edgefield County : June 4-5. Lexington County : June 6-7. Riohland County: June 11-12. Kerehaw County : Juno 13-14. Lancaster County : June 18-19. York County : June 20-21. Chester County: June 25-26.

Anderson County : July 18-19. Greenville County : July 23-24. Pickens County : July 24-26. Oconee County : July 30-31. State Convention at Newberry Aug. 13-14-15. 4. In God's providence it hap pens that Bro. Wm. Reynolds, of Illinois, International Field Su perintendent can be in South Caro lina from March 30 to April 10 in clusive, and will be present at such meetings as we may hold during that time. Let us make the most of his visit. Tho period covers the dales assigned to Beaufoit and Barnwell counties. They are to be congratulated. If any of these cannot hold their conventions on the dates suggested, some other adjacent counties might get their dates advanced by conferring with Prof. Sams, and then secure the benefit of Bro. Reynold's presence. In ihe schedule of dates, Satur days, Sundays and Mondays were omitted. During his stay, let all these be filled. Large maes meet ings in central and accessable places would give a good start to our spring and summer campaign. 5. The time for this active cam paign to open is near. Reader, if your convention is'to be a success, preparation must bo made for u, the place of meeting selected, speak ers secured, program announced, the meeting advertised, etc. In or ganized counties the officers ehoold lead off at once. In unorganized ones let those interested in our Master's chum, consult together and make the necessary arrangement. The success or failure of your coun ty convention, dear brother, may depend upon the heed you give this appeal. The Executive Committe, and the Field Secretary are anxious to help ycu and to promote tho cause of our Redeemer, but we can hope for little without the co-opera tion of the redeemed throughout the State. Remember you are not called upon for great sacrifices, but we ask your sympathy, your moral support, your prayers and your hearty co-operation. With these, we believe that the year 1895 will mark an era of advancement in Sunday School work in South Carolina. The world has never witnessed such progress and de velopment in this department of Christian activity as it beholds to day. If ?ve fail to seo it, and use it, ours shall be the loss and ours the fearful responsibility. May the Lord guide and bless ue. It is possible that other well known and well informed Sunday Sohool workers may accompany brethren Sams and Reynold-). C. H. Cakmplk. S. B. Ezkm,. T. H. Law. For tho Central Executive Com.

Report of Lisbon Sohool. ist. X am teaching the Lisbon school. ad. This session began January 14, 1895. 3d. Length of term is six months. 4th. There are thirty-eight pu pils enrolled. 5th. I am using, in a large meas ure, the books that were in school when I came here. I introduced the late adopted text books as op portunity offers. 6th. A child should receive in struction in mental Arithmetic as soon as he enters school, and writ ten should go hand in hand with mental.. He should be taught during the first year all possible combinations and comparisons of numbers from one to ten, by means of objects. In connection with ob ject work, and mental operations, teach him how to make figures on the blackboard, and how to express operations according to the forms of written Arithmetic. When he learns to read in the third reader, give him a text book. I do not think one can be used with advan tage before then. 7th. Elementary language lessons should precede Geography and His tory, for these cannot be studied advantageously until a cfTild has acquired a considerable amount of language power. Scientific Grammar should suc ceed History and Geography, be cause most grammatical terms are so abstract that they are utterly be yond the comprehension of a child. History may be illustrated by means of stories, Geography by pupil's natural surroundings. Each may be made so simple that a child may readily grasp the meaning. Sth. I do not think Latin can be taught successfully until English Grammar has been thoroughly mas tered by the pupil; and he cannot study Algebra with any degree of satisfaction until he has acquired a fair knowledge of the principle* of Arithmetic. 9th. To my mind eight hours is not too long for the daily session of a country school. All of this time, however, should not be devoted to mental work alone. Give an hour's "play-time" at noon, a recess of ten minutes in the morning, and one in the afternoon. During school hours, when pupils seem to be tired of Btudying, read them a story; give them movements in calisthenics, or any kind of exercise that will re6t the mind and body. By having eight hours session the children have time to prepare their lessons in the school room, where the teacher can make them study and lend any necessary help. They can not always study with this advan tage at home. (b.) When properly conducted, much good may result from literary societies in school. They lead the pupils to see that rules and regula tions are for their own good; that they are not made by the teacher for his own pleasure in exercising arbitrary power. They incite scholars to put forth vigorous ef forts for self improvement and self control. (c) Whipping is looked upon as a relic of barbarous days, and the only influence to be brought to bear upon the youthful mind is moral suasion. It is my belief that a sys tem ot education where a pupil is put entirely upon his honor to at tend to his school duties will, in many cases, produce as agrcgious failures a s that which prevails where the dread of the birch makes every recitation a torture. If discrimination be used in the application, I doubt not that the restoration of the rod, in a measure to its former place of honor, would be attended with most beneficent results. Some pupils who are going in the wrong direction need a whip ping to turn them around. Teachers sometimes have to whip a child to make him obey her, and obedience is absolutely necessary. Some pupils have to be led to fear a teacher before she can work on his moral nature, and it is very seldom that anything but a whip ping will bring about the desired result. I agree with Bain, that "when corporal punishment is kept up it should be at the far end of the list of penalties", but an uncommonly well-trained school must that be, where a teacher never bns to resort to the last on the list as a means to accomplish a necessary end. The teacher's aim should be to prevent as far as practicable the necessity of corporal punishment, but when it is a necessity, I say give it judiciously, coolly nnd de liberately. "Sparc the rod and ruin the child" is a maxim too excellent to sink into insignificance. 10th. The only suggestion I have to oiler the Constitutional Conven tion, otherwise than those already mentioned, is that South Carolina have a marriage license, nnd the proceeds thereof be used for school purposes. 1 Ith. I think a summer school would be both pleasant and profita ble to those who are seeking meth ods of instruction in teaching. If tcachcis would exert any marked influence they must wield it through organized associations and institutes. Isolated teachers cannot rise lar above their suriound ings. Mary L. Pitts. Correction. In Miss Clatie McDaniel's re port she was made to say that the length in hours of daily session should l>e from 8 a. m. to 3 p. m. It should have been from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. She has also enrolled 46 pupils instead of 42, as was stated. We did not send in the Teachers' Column last week, as we thought the editor of the Hbrald would find the one sent in the week before. We are very sorry that we have missed two weeks; and especially are we sorry that that one column was lost, as it contained two excel lent pieces from Profs. Nabors and J. M. Culbertson. We hope these teachers will reproduce their pieces or send in another, as we are sure that they would be reud with much appreciation. In our next issue we will have reports Irom schools taught by Prof. W. L. Taylor and Miss Mary Bramlette. I low's This!
