The growth of pedagogic literatur during the last decade or two'is withou a parallel in the history of purely prc fessional writings. Forty years ago when David Pag gave to the world his model volume cr titled "Theory and Practice of Teacll ing," he stood alnost alone in thi country as a writer on -Metho Is of ii struction. Now educational ;publications, hay in:reased to such numbers that we tin, one publishing house advertising ul: wards of one hundred standard work on Te'ehing; while the number c periodicals issued in the interests of th profession of teaching in the Unite< States alone is not less than seventy five. By the teacher who lives in th past rather than in the present, an who is blindly following the beaten pat marked out by the teachers of his eal her years, without a thought as to th wisdom of the methods or the poss bility of any improvement, this statt ment will probably be received with certain degree of surprise, if not wit absolute incredulity; but the live, pr gressive teacher who has been earnestl endeavoring to fit himself thoroughi f)r the difficult and responsible work his chosen calling by an intelligent ain systematic course of reading in the lil erature of his profession, recognizes it u a fact. Some of these works have been wri1 ten mainly for the guidance of teael: ers in ungraded country schools, b; teachers of long and varied experiene in the management of such schooh Others are adapted more especially t the work of graded schools: Some treul exclusively of methods of teaching th different branches of knowledge; som of school governleIt, while others di; cuss pedagogic principles in a genera way leaving their proper application t the judgment and skill of the teachei and still -others, like Spencer, Payn and Tate, discuss different phases c the educational proble:n in the light c science and philosophy. All of these works pss points c excellence, and the intelligent and dia crim<inating teacher,knowing his want will have little trouble in selecting wha will be most helpful to himself. Among educational periodicals, whil s.mne are merely ephemeral in charac ter, and others seem more devotei to the interests of advertisers than c teachers and schools, yet there is a larg and growing number of journals whos contents are su2h as no thoughtfu teacher can peruse without benefit ti himself and his school. They not onl: contain the most advanced thought oi education, and the latest and most ai prov~ed methods of teaching, and dih cipline, but their persual has a tenden cy to expand and liberalize the mind c the reader and give him broader an< higher conceptions of his profession. The reading of such journals con stantly impresses the teacher with th, fact that he is one of a vast numnber en gage.1 in the s'ame noble cause, :i cause of popular education; this wil tend to give him a higher appreciatioi of,the worth and dignity of his calling inspire him with greater respect tor hi fellow teachers, and thus promote tha es,prit de corp.s hitherto so strikingl: absent among teachers. We intend fromt time to time to pre sent brief critical notices of the mor valuable wvorks on Teaching, and als * of educational journals, hoping thereb; to render some assistance to the younge teachers who may be desirous of p)uI suing a course of reading in the liters ture of their profession. At the meeting of the Teachers' As * sociation in March the question wat asked "Can an intratnsitive verb take a. object?' This queiCstioni was answere< affirmatively by several teachers pret ent. In illustration, such sentenxces a He runs a race, She sings a song &c. were cited. It was held that the verb runs and sings were intransitiv e an< whenever they took anl object it had t' have a siguitieationl kindred to that tile verb, similar, we presumle, to th~ cognlate~ accusativeC of the Lathit. In an article written subsequently w brietly dliscussed the questioni and e.x p)ressed the opinion that an intransitiv verb cannot take an object, that th verbs ruins anid sinigs ar.e transitive. an< further that the objects of such verb must not niecessairily have a meaning kindred to that o,f the verbs. In pr<s of our positionl we submitted such set tences as, The htackmtan runs a hal The carpenter runs a rope through hk>ck, The boy runs a tnil into his fool Arms and the man, I sing (D)ryden und such.l expressionis as sing his praist * singz his deeds of valor, etc. lIn laist wek's issue1 of this jouirin app)eared an article by a teacher, erit! eising the p)ositioni we ha1d ajssumed an' also endeavoring to refute a stiatemenCf maide incidentally in reference to tranl -sitive and intransitive verbs.

The main point at issue, however. is whether an intransitive verb can take an object. The teacher whose article we are reviewing, evidently held the opinion that it could, but judging from the following language used by her toward the close of her article, we infer that she has modified her views: "We e do not feel convinced of the position we t maintained at the Teachers' Associa - tion, that these are examples of pure intransitive or complete verbs, and if a e noun (object) is to be definite, not %t all necessary to the sense, then such an - object is cognate or a noun of kindred s meaning." - In conelusion we wish to thank the writer of the article thus hastily re L' viewed, and hope for more eontribu I tions from the same source. The Teachers' Department is open to all s who may have anything to say to the f educational interests of the County. E Especially do we urge every member of , the Teachers' Association to make free use of this department. Send us con C tributions or ouestions. t The next meeting of the Association will be held in Prosperity, on Saturday e May 12. Let every teacher in the coun ty be present. Don't fail to bring along questions relating to your work which have perplexed you. The programme 1 will be published next week. THE WORDS WE USE. f Does an Average Man Use 00 Words of s,000 [George Fleming in Literature.] At an educational meeting held in this State a few years ago, the conduc cdtor, a noted professor, made the follow e idg statement: "The best educated per son in this room will not use more than S600 or 700 words." He also assigned a t smaller number to persons of limited ed e ucation, stating that an ignorant man e would not use more than 200 or 300 words. I had before 'seen statements l of similar import in public print, and to test their correctness I began an inves . tigation of the matter. e The subject was brought anew to my ' mind by observing an article in the f Chautauquan some months ago, in which Professor Bancroft remarked: f "It has been estimated that an English farm hand has a vocabulary limited to 300 words. An American workingman t who reads the newspapers may com mand from 700 to 1,000 words. Five C thousand is a large number, even for an - educated reader or speaker." This as i sertion is much nearer the truth! than I' that of the institute conductor men e tioned. For the benefit of those who Smay be interested, I offer the' results of 1 my study on the subject. An intelli 3 gent person can make the same exami 7 nation, and will arrive at substantially 1 the samte results. -I took Webster's high school diction - ary, edition 1878, containing 434 pages - of vocabulary, and examined each word f in the book. I made a note of those Iwords which I supposed I had used at some time either in speaking or writing. - I counted the primitive wdrds and a those derivatives whose meaning is - most at variances with the primitive. SThus, count fright and fruit, but not i frighten, fruitful, frightfully nor fruit 1 age, fruiterer, fruitful, fruitfulness, fru , ition and fruit-tree. I omitted most of s the compound words, especially when t the com;ponent parts directly indicated Sthe meaning, as milk-pail, meeting house, rag-muan, but counted those - whose signific'ance was not directly e indicated, as crowbar, quicksand, tin 3) foil. As the result of this examination, 7 I had 7,928 words, which, I think, I r myself have used. There were 419J in A, 528 itt B, 750 in C, 455i in D, 23.5 in E, 369 in F, 279 in G 286 in H, 330 in 1, 81 in J, 49 in K, 290 -in L, 476 in M, 144 in N, 217 in 0, 71.5 in P, 55 in Q, 397 in 1R, 954 in T, 47in 1U , 148 in V, 202 in W, 23in Xand Y, and 10 in Z. Had I counted the various deriva tives in common use, it is probable the number would be nearly double. 2 To mxake a further test of words at m ny command, I spetnt about two hours in writing from memory words in A. I was able to note down ->37 words that I could use if occasion required. This is thirty-five per cent. mtore than I had counted from the dictionary. Should the, same proportion hold good in all ethe letters, it would follow that I can recatll front mtemory 10,700) words, all of wihich aIre famtiliar. I made another count, and came to the conclusion that I could give a fair definltit of at least 25,000 words in tha t book, and wvould understand their sinfcto in a p)rinited a'rticle or spoken address. The above estimates aire based upon myi' own i experience and knowledge be cause it was covenient to make the experimetnt with myself. Every well informted man will be as competent, if not miore so. Eithter professor mient tionted will have a more extended vo cebularv than I have. t I then took at random, in thte same - dictionary, a page int each letter, and( r counted the words in very comimon use. SOn twenty-four pages there were 25 such~l words. This would give 3,300 Swords ini use by persons of the most 'ordinary intelligence. None of these C lists include any proper names. '- At the time of making this studly, oneC of mtt childrenCt was three years and .t wo mont hs of age. I noted (down (anid Sstill htave the lists) 213 words used by her ini one dayv. They were words that an in ttell igent child wvould use, ch ieflyv tnmes of househtold articles and1( comt Smont things. witht the nmost ordinary Sve.rb,s antd participles. I did not hear t ali shte said d1uring. the day, nor do I think she used all thte wordls shte knew. I etiate -her vocabulary at 400 Iwords, anid she did rnot knowv enough to carry iot anyv excep)t childish conver aFranm all of the foregoinigobservat ions SI drew the following conclusions: t IEvery well read man of fair ability .will be able to define or understand 20, 000) or 25,000 primitives and principal derivative words. The same man in his coversation and r jwriting, will use not less than 6,000 or aor 7,000 words. If he be a literary maa ie will command 2,000 or 3,000 more. Common people use from 3,000 to E,000 words, according to their general ntelligence and conversational power. An "illiterate man" (one who cannot 'ad) will use from 1,500 to 2.500 words. 1 A person who has not at comniand " it least 1,000 words is an ignoramus, c md will find difficulty in expressing his tl houghts, if indeed, he have any to ex- t ress. c( w Devotion to Duty. (From the Golden Orgosy.] a fi During the siege of Gibraltar its gov 'rnor, General Elliott, was one day T aking a tour of inspection, when he aie upon a German soldier, who, T though standing at his post, neither presented armis nor even held his mus ket. "Do you know me, sentinel?" inquir- I rd the general. "Why do you neglect cour dluty?" 11 "I know you well, general, and my luty also," was the reply; "but within it the last few minutes two of the fingers ft :f my right hand have been shot oft and I am unable to hold my musket." 7 "Why don't you go and have thei bound up?" t< "Because in Germany a man is for- n bidden toquit his post until he is re- w lieved by another. ti The general instantly dismounted, r( "Now, my friend," said he, "give rme your musket and I will relieve you. a co and have your wounds dressed." tl The soldier obeyed, but went first to the nearest guard-house, where he re- o ported that the general was standing on t< duty in his place. His injury unfitted y him for active service, but the story o Df his courage soon reached England s and he was made an officer. Valuable Testimony. [Arkansaw Traveler.] In a Kentucky Court.

Luxuriant Hair i' Can only be preserv ed by keeping the scalp clean, cool. andl free from dan druff, and the body in a healthful il conition. The great pla1:rity of Y Ayer's Hair Vigor is due to the fact Ii that it cleanses thet scalp, pbromoltes the growth of the hair, prevents it friom falling out, and give.s .- that soft and silky gloss so essent ial to perfect beanuty. Ii Frederick Hardy. of Rouxhu1ry, 31ass.. rc a gentleman fifty ye.ars of age, was taint losng his hair, andi. what re:maineud wasm growing gray. After trying various dressings wvith no etfect, lhe i.uonueniced , the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. "It ti stopped tihe falling out."' he writes ; y "anid, to my great suirprise. converted ri myv white hair (without staining the scagp) to the samne shade of b,roen it had when I was :t.' years of age."

The loss of hair may be ewing to im purity of the blood or derangemetnt of the stomach and liver, in which case. a course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla or of Ayer's Pills, in connection with the Vigor, may lbe necessary to give heaithn and tone to all the functions (of thei body. At the same time,. it cannot be too strongly urged that none of these remedies can do much good without a persevering trial and strict attentionb to cleanly and templerate habits.

[Bill Arp.] My Memphis friend told nie about Ad John Bass, of Troup County, who -as a good old hardshell Baptist, but I an evil moment was pursuaded to uy a lottery ticket. Sure enough it rew a prize of twenty-five hundred llars. Before he received the nioney, ie brethren heard of his sin and noti ed him to appear and be tried for anibling. The day he was to be tried I e went to town early to see if the Ioney had come. It was there and f e got it. Never before had lie had as iuch as fifty dollars at one time, and f e was crazy with delight. He stuck ie roll of bills in his bosoni and took a ig drink of whisky and rode back to f ie church and up to a window, and i >ked what they was all a doing in Iere. They told him they were trying im for betting agin a lottery. He ulled out the big roll and shook it at iem, and said : "And I won the bet, )o, and I'd druther stay outside with ie money than inside without it." a ell, it ruined him- just like it ruins erybody who gets something for '9 othing.
