In lion of any remarks from us on ..this fruitful subject, wo subjoin a par agraph fron? the able addles* of Dr. W. M. Gricr before the teachors of Abbeville County We arc sorry we can't insert bis entire address. In speaking of the capacity of the teach er for communicating knowledge as a guarantee of success, be says : /'He may.be thoroughly informed in grammar, history, arithmetic and geography and yet be a poor teacher. Jle may fail entirely to inspire that desiro for knowledge, that love of truth which is the grand end in all .leaching. He may bo so dellcieut in power of analysis, in a capacity to 'eimplify and render attractive the topic of the hour that every lesson will be a dull task to the pupil, except du those rare cases, with those bright geniuses who need a teacher not to inspire but simply to guide and curb mental effort. It should never he iorgotlcn that the most extensive anil accurate knowledge docs not lit me for a professional educator. In your own experience as pupils you have noticed a marked difference in the success of teachers who did not dilf r in the extent of their knowledge? ..while the one interested and instruct ed you, the other simply tasked you. While one stimulated you and made .the lesson a delight, the other drove you to every subterfuge to avoid a recitation. And inasmuch as all those tests which arc employed to de termine the qualifications of teachers relate only to the amount and accura cy of knowledge there is very great danger lest we judge when we have a first grade certificate that we are first class teachers. Let us not thus lower ami narrow our professions. Not only must we have a thotongh knowl edge of the branches we propose to teach, but we must address ourselves to the woik of making all knowledge pleasant to those who have heretofore found their only pleasure in rude sports, pithless jokes and green fruit.'' Gen. Robert K. Lee, that grand old Christain chiellain whose name will .live as long as there is left a page in history on which to record his heroic deeds, hands the following advice d^Wn to posterity, and we earnestly "call the attention of the parents there to : 'kThe parent, after committing his child to the teaching of another, should continue to manifest an nlfec tioliale interest in his improvement by constant inquiry and encourage ment. 'Jhc supplying of young per sons, while absent from their homes, with needless money, and the permis sion to contract debts, arc to be rep robated, as tempting to a sinlnl prod igality and multiplying the dangers qf contracting habils of vice. The proper authority of teachers must be firmly sustained by parents. Kvcrv 'jouhg person should be informed by his parents I hat he must give dili gence to profit by bis studies, or "else must be compelled to make him 'self useful to society Ivy actual labor in Millie humbler sphere.' How much less trouble tin; teacher would experience if this manly coun sel were taken. Cilfcous [ arcnls al ways make unruly scholars. , i' _._ _ i OllAKOKBUKO, September lat, 1879. Mit. EniTOlt:?In your issue of last Week, I find this sentence : '"The knife la worth a dollar," and an inquiry ' appended as to the manner in which "woith" should lie parsed. I would suggest that "worth*' is a predicate ndjective limiting the noun "knife," and is itself modified by the noun "dollar," according to the "Special Knie" found in many grammars:! '?Nouns denoting time, value, weight, j or measurement, ore commonly put | ''in the objectivo caso without a gOV-J 'crnfng word." W. II. Lawhf.nch. We shall not quarrel with the Pro., j'essor for Iiis disposition of the word "worth," but we would like to know what right any grammarian has to I ptiy that "dollar"' is in "the objective case without a governing word." lly j what itile do these grammarians lind' out that such nouns used in such posi-! lions, are in the objective case rather than the nominative? We consider the rule referred to very ridiculous and inCOUbis'.eut. Cannot "worth" also be parsed as a preposition ? At the late meeting of the Teach ers* Convention of Greenville County, a lecturer was employed to give the teachers instructions in Heading, Arithmetic, Geography and Gram mar, "and also in Mental Philosophy ami School Government. Rev. H. I. M01 ton of the Greenville Normal School conducted Ihc proceedings, and great good was accomplished. The expense was nothing in compari son to the benefits derived, and we commend the precedent to our School C ommissioner. Wo caniiot build up educational inaltors in our county, unless wc arc willing to labor and toil, and endure a little expense uhd trou ble. ? .'
