We have observed with pleasure the earnestness with which the teachers of Laurens county are working in the Summer School. We believe that the teachers will go to their work not only better prepared, but albO with higher ideas of their responsibility and of the work to be performed. We believe *nlao that they will carry nn earnestness and Enthusiasm into their work that will prove a great benefit to the educational interest of our county. The necessity of thorough pre paration by teachers has been im pressed by nearly all the speakers who have addressed the Summer School. Constant attention has been called to the rapid advances woman is making and to the excel lence of her work. Constantly the young men have been urged to keep pace with the rapid advances being made. Let teachers all work together for the upbuilding ol the educational interest of our county. J. B. WATKINS. Primary Arithmetic. In teaching Primary Arithmetic large numbers must, of course, be discarded in tho beginning and each of the smaller numbers must be taught thoroughly before the next higher is considered. For ex ample, teaching 4 multiplied by 4, or using 4 as a divisor is incorrect in teaching the number four, as both these processes involve a num ber beyond four. Only when the child can pel form all the operations within the limits of the number can he be said to know the number, therefore each number must be compared with all the preceding o cs in every possi ble way. For example, 4 must fust be compared with 1 by means of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, then with 2 in the fame way, then with 3. Visible objects must be used, thus appeal ing to the eye as well as to the ear. After" a thorough cl? ill in solving examples involving all the different combinations ol this number, tjic next higher may be taught. The only test by which the teach er can ascertain whether the pupil has mastered any step or not is the language used. As long as the lan guage for the number is not perfect the idea of the number is defective, therefore the pupil must answer in complete sentences ? should speak distinctly and with clear ar ticulation, and the teacher must in <st on llucncy and neatness of cx j rcssion, thus making the Arith metic lesson include also a latlgnuge lesson. L. A. 11. Physical Culture. Too much cannot be said on Phy sical Culture. Tins is one of the many questions that is agitating the minds of the people. We lind all the colleges teaching Physical Culture, as it is so essential to the advancement to students. No good workman ever neglects his tools. He values them too high ly to neglect them. If he should he would soon come to want. Men and women ought to know, though they often act as if they were ignorant of the fact, tli.it the Almighty has provided them lor carrying on the work of the world with instruments of most delicate and complicated construction.? These instruments arc our bodies, In youth when our bodies aie strong little do wc think that by over work, ill treatment will cause Physical breakdown; but this is all carelessness and ignorance on their part. Natuic has laws, and they must be obeyed or the violator must sutler for it. She may be long suffering, but if her laws are per sistently disregarded even her great est favorites are not permitted to escape without severe deservtd punishment. One of nature's s tern est laws is that tho physical pow ers which are not utilized shall <lc CRy\ . , , , . . , The priceless gilt of health is de nied unless the exercise she has given the bodies are not taken. Through the agency of machinery sedentary occupations take the place of active ones, and a number of times it is very difficult for a man to find time and opportunity to take sufficient exercise to keep his body in full vigor of health, Itcosts very little, and no trouble compared to the benefit derived from a few apparatuses that are needed to take special exercises on, namely: Parallel bars, poles, plank and horizontal poles, also the pul lics. A sound body is of incstiinate importance to every man. As an instrument of the soul, and a con dition for its effective action, WC need (o make it and keep it as nearly perfect as possible. As has I previously been said a weak, sickly, crippled body is an incalculable detriment to the mind. It is trite, there have lift en instances of per sons with feeble bodies who have yet been wonderfully efficient in the world. Of some of these the influence has been fai-ieaching in their own generation, and has perpetuated it sell in the subsequent ages. But these arc exceptional instances, only very lew have been able to over conic their physical disadvantage, I and they were persons of cxtraor ! dinary mental endowment. In the case mentioned lirst'wc find the mind is so far superior to physical conditions as to indicate tlr.it mind is not a mere fun lion of matter, There .arc many duties wc owe to the body. There must he s; 'ta ble and sufficient food, raiment and shelter, not only that the body may be kept alive, but that it may be kept in health. To this end men must also cultivate temperance.? This docs not mean intoxicating I beverages. Physical culture means to cultivate properly at proper time food, diet, sleep and dress. There must be a period of rest, regularity of habit, and recreation, personal appearance, etc. In order to have a thoroughly de veloped mind we must have a thor oughly developed body. I loth are necessary. As we read Ancient History we find the Romans and Creeks to have the greatest intellect. Then the question conies to us, What is the reason ot this? The secret is, that they took more phy sical exercise than any other peo ple. Examples of this: Look ot their literature?none has ever cx celled it. ' - Arnold has said, that culture is not a having and a resting, but a growing and a becoming. There is one thing necessary?live up to the best at all points. E. L. N.

The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which is Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most Noted Physicians of the Country. Rend what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say foi Harris Lithia Water. ,;I had long been nifcctcd with kidney troubles. I had tried all the mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter Springs. I had tried the Western waters and all others that I could hear of, and 1 have no hesi tancy in saying that none have; bcnclitcd me even approximately., as much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Lithia Water when I heard of thi*. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water again. "When 1 went to Harris Lithia Springs, 1 had to he assisted out of^ my chair. After remaining two w eeks I could g;ct about ns^good as anybody. It acted on me like a charm?quickly and effectively. This water is now being largely '<>ld in Columbia, and I think every person who has tried it will agree with me in the belief that it is the most re markable water in the country. From a simple interest in suffering hu manity, I would like very much to see it given a trial. C. A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S. C. Hai t is Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C.
