The space is j still open and we think letters 011 the , ui?T..r..nf iriothods of teaching will l?e 1 ' interesting to patrons and instructive to teachers for no teacher knows it all. Lot us have a full column , neat week. ' Teacher's let us hear from some of ' you ! The Kditor has kiudly set apart ' this column for us; therefore let. us J make the most of it. Don't be afraid to try your hand. Your hints may prove interest ing to some of us. We have a great responsibility resting upon us; for we ley the foundation of the rising generation. Therefore it becomes us to secure the best j methods of teaching. "Let us be up j and doing," for our calling is a high and noble one. Lot us live for the glory of (iod and the uplifting of man. i If we are not competent to teach we !, should withdraw from the field, for j we injure the whole community in ; which we teach. Now a few remarks. ' I _ I Re gentle and patient, .uiif.e ?m|.- i ping the last res. r . Try praise and encouraging words for t!ie backward. Some children are slow to learn, don't he too hard on them. f.ir God hns not given them the same degree of intolli- i gence that ho lias the brigiii boy- and . girls. In every school there are some scholars who are indifferent. Try to | gain their love by de-jds of kindness, j Once you have their love work upon it. Now let ine beg you to take an interest in this matter. If. 1 i CHAT FROM IOTIBIWiSI! I I Santuc Siftings. Saxtuc, S. C., Jan. lTih, ISO'.h? j The sun looks cheerily?when we see i it.

Department was in this section ' last week looking after the mail service. lie says the department intends to give us the best possible 1 service. Certainty and security being its object, to that end he is engaged and is at work. The prcccnt admin| istrathm intends to stop nothing short of ubs< lute perfection if that end is possible to be obtained. The gov' eminent intends to hold riders and 1 mail contractors strictly to their duties, and postmasters are required ; to report the kind of service they get ' and whether the riders are temperate 1 or trustworthy. This is fur in ad' vance of any ruling ever taken by . the department heretofore. Had roads will be no excuse for failure if " bad stock arc employed. This is ex( actly what is wanted.
