Perhaps there ih nothing which ndds more to the interest of the scuool-ioom than music?s w e e t strains of melody poured forth by happy childish voices. We are glad to know that so much interest is now being taken in this subject, and we hope that ere long it may receive proper attention i n our country schools. Among the many good results derived from this study may be mentioned thcelVcct upon the pupils voice, Iiis tone is made purer and clearer, thus having a correspond ingly good effect upon hi& reading. It is also useful as a rcat exercise, for after the pupils have beci. con lined to study or recitation for some time they become languid and unfit for close application, but have an interesting music lesson Tbllow and yon will be charmed with the result. Apart from this may be mentioned its healthful effects which necessa rily follow if proper attention be given to tbe position of the pupil's body and bis manner of making the tones. These, together with its refining influence, arc a few of the good re sults of vocal music, but when wc analyze the subject more closely it will be seen that it is so closely in terwoven with the complete and harmonious development o f our pupils, that a few moments at least each clay should be devoted to it. Our Summer School. We cannot say too much in com mendation of this school. What arc the chief objects of this school? ist. To make our teachers better teachers. 2d. To meet and become ac quainted with each other. 3d. To give and exchange ideas concerning the new modes and methods of teaching. .}tb. To enthuse our teachers with their work, and interest our people in the great cause of com mon school education. We could mention many other objects of this Summer School, and give many reasons why the school should be liberally patronized, but wc think the four reasons given arc sufficient. Our Legislature in their wisdom made provision for this school, the tuition is free; the teachers employ ed being paid out of a fund appro priated for that purpose. We are happy to say that our Summer School is a success?a perfect success. We have a large attendance, but room for more? room for all. We can devise no reason why every live, wide-awake teacher of Laurens County is not a member of this Institute. Yet there are some who arc not attendants, and thus say by their actions ,wC know enough; we don't want to* become acquainted with our brother and sister teachers, we do not care to be social; away with your social and educational institutes, we are wise in our own conceit, and will have nothing to do with you and your school. To all such teachers of the county we tender a special and cordial invitation to visit us just one time, and we think you will come again without an invitation. The exer cises of our school are opened ev ery morning alter prayer by an ad dress from some educated gentle man, and the exercises are closed by a lecture or essay from some teacher of the school. At the close of our school in July we propose to have a grand excursion to Charles ton, or some other noted place se lected by the school. Geography. In introducing this the scconu paper of the scries on Geography, I want to say that your types made me say "accidents" instead of "in cidents" when I referred to the col limrjs of the newspaper teeming With "incidents", etc. Now, to continue: When you have once fastened the idea in a child's mind that the Geography lessons mean something real, and arc not simply a mental drill, then you have won the light; and the after work of developing and ex panding tbe awakened mind is a po.-itive pleasure. Obtain some of the folders issued by the Railroads and take imagi nary excursions with your class.? Carry them over the most direct lines from your place to New York, Washington, Philadelphia ? any where. Note the principal points of interest on your route,and dwell upon these; get the ideas, ol your pupils upon the places "visited"? this is teaching real Geography. A live teacher can make the railroad lesson exceedingly valuable by a few practical questions, sonic thing like the following: ist. What is a Trunk Line? 3d. Name some important Trunk Line? 3d. Name a Trunk Line that connects Atlanta with the North ern markets? 4 th. Over what line would you travel in goiiig from your nearest railroad station to Washington, New Orleans, Chicago, Nashville, San Francisco? Would you change cars? If so, where? etc. 5th. Suppose your fn.th.er sells a bale of cotton to a buyer, and the buyer ships it to a manufacturer at Fall River, Mass., over what lines would the bale be transported? 6th, What is meant by a "broad gauge" railroad? Narrow gauge? What is tbe width of a Standard gauge road? Is there a narrow gauge railroad in South Carolina? II so, where? Of course such questions as above can be almost indefinitely extended by a live teacher, and the interest evinced by your pupils will be sur prising. Try it. Again: Many, very ninny pupils can very glibly rattle oil'an amount of stuff about Germany^ Russia, China and lie wofully ignVr.int as to their immediate surroundings.? They can teil you about the Ger man Emperor, and tho pomp and glitter of his court, but can't tell you who the Governor of South Carolina, may be. They can tell you of the Russian Czar and his splendid capital, but they can't tell you who may be the United States Senators from South Carolina, nor wd?at is the metropo lis of their State. Just along here the following questions for your class arc sugges ted : ist. What docs metropolis mean? 2d. What is the metropolis of South Carolina? 3d. Name the seaports? How many cities in the State? What population is required before a place can be incorporated as a city? Ts Laurens (C. II.) really a city? 4th'. How many congressional districts in the State? How many judicial? 5th. Name members of Congress from South Carolina? 6th. In what congressional dis trict do you live? In wdiat judi cial? 7th.. Name tbe counties compos ing your congressional district? Your judicial ? Stil. When and where does the State Legislature meet? How many members compose it? 9th. How many members has Laurens county in the General As semby ? Name them? Who is State Senator ? 10th. Name the Justices of tbe State" Supreme Court? Who is Chief Justice? For what term arc these Justices elected? Any teacher can draw on his own resources and extend these questions ad infinitmn. Now, in closing this the second paper of the scries, let me again impress upon the young teacher tbe all important lesson that the text book* must be used as little as pos siblc. If your pupils imbibe tbe idea that you can teach them notb ing but what they find laid down in the lesson, they will form very poor opinion (and correctly) of your powers. Keep out ol the old ruts. Blaze out new roads. Open up new views. T. E. E w a kt. State ok Ohio, City op Toledo, ( . . Lucas County. >bb Frank .1. Cheney makes oath that ho is tho senior partner of the Arm of F.
