One of tho first questions ashed by most teachers is: "How does this man effect success?" - making tlic in quiry, evidently, to follow blindly in his footsteps whether he is qualified lor it or not. There are many meth ods in school teaching, which may be reduced to three classes : general, spe cial and personal. Lot us examine Ihesc.^^ta^aLmcthods imderjm the wholewtcuBe um^SAelioafaiJl ai$k for ull times, places and persons. They arc like axioms of geonmLrj', self-evident, admitting of no proof. For instance, never tell a child what he already kno>vs, or what ha can Hud out for himself, is certainly an axiomatic method. Special methods arc as numerous as teachers. Every little up start of a pedagogue bus his special method, ami there is nothing in what he is so self-concei'.ed and egotistical us his ?'special" methods. Some of these arc of some value, but most of them are only chfill a^ndi tr.'tfd^ AW<p advocate, independence ?f thought, but ihm in depence must not be at, the expense and sacrifice of common sense. We think every teacher should wear his own shoes while teaching, and not attempt to stumble along in bis fi iends' beuause they happen to lit him better than his own. Each teach er should be a law unto himself; thould be himself and not somebody else. Then wc have "personal" methods, and it is of this we wish mainly to speak. Teachers often fail where some young- preachers fail. They get all their knowledge at s-ccond hand?they teach wiiat has been hammered into their heads without devising new thoughts and modes for themselves. When Ueechor was in his gl?ry, there were thousands of Bceehers nil over the land trying to act and talk just like the great na tional preacher, and they deemed themselves fortunate if they made the impression that they weru..good "imi; tors, if nothing more. Some teachers rjtttrn from a normal school with their note books crammed lull of "in structions how to leach," "how keep order," ''how to secure punctu ality," "how to prevent delinquen cies," and so on. They enter the i chool room with more confidence than brains, thinking they can put to actual practice what they have learned in theory, but they soon, like Darius Green and Ids Hying machine, come down with such a thump nnd in such an awful plight they hecomc the laughing . stock of the community. The)' learned what some one else knew and did well, and in which they are failures. What we honestly arc, people like us seem to be, even though wc have ft cloven foot. People Jike out-spoken thieves belter than lender-fooled and lime serving Chris tians. It is absurd to imitate some one e so because ho happens to be a suce'ess. Wc tire not1 averse to ad vice, but what wc mean is Ibis folly o( blindly following the judgment and opinions of others. Let us be what wo are. Each has his personal meth od!, Tiolft adopt other's because they arc a little peculiar. II uo is" a case in point. Ttiere was once an excel lent teacher of languages who went to bed with his boots on, and there was an imitator, a fool we would call him, who thought he'also could leach iapgubge^by going to bed with his boots on. He shot at long range. Neander, the great divine, used to j start lo his, lectures with his sudy jjmvn wrapped around him, utterly unmindful of the absence of his lower j garments. ? "Now, because Neander did this must every sprig of theology l>o guilty of the same neglect ? Per sonal methods, like personal noses, cannot he communicated. God iradu man and when man tries to make liiqiself over he commits a mighty blunder. Better be yourself a thousand times, though u upon lb and homely, than warp and twist yourself.with ar tificial ways. An honest donkey is respected, when he appears as a don key but wjiep lie dons a lion's skin n d tries to make mop believe he is a lion, he will bo beaten most jguomin loiiidy. Then, be yourself, nnd not pin your views to the coat tails pf plheriiien. Ov the one bundled teachers in Oiangcbprg County scarcely one fourth of ijiftt number attended the meeting of the Institute on the |2th instant We wer? sprpi ised at this, nnd confess wc are unable lo account for this lack of interest. Tho Jnstiluto wasprgani/.ed with a view lo the im provement of the teacher, and a pro motion, of Ihc educational interests of the people. What objection the teach ers have to becoming members? We pannot answer. Why stand aloof? THE COLUMBIA REGISTER DAILY, TRI-WEKKLY & WEEKLY. Rest. Newspaper ever published ut the Cupttttl of South Carolina. Circulation Large und Constantly In creasing.
