Lockhart Junction Letter.
Ixxklmrt Junction, May 27.?
t has been some time snice I wrote
, letter to your paper. looking on

me that I still had a place

eaders of The Times saying to mo,
'Why don't you write a letter?"
>r "Why have you quit?" I s
bought 1 would write again.
Those liking to read from my

rord, let's do a good deed, not
rait till our friends are dead then
trew flowers on their graves.
Hit's give them now as it may cheer
he moss-worn cheeks awhile.
The publie schools in this townhip
have all closed. We attended

The careful student of year-byear
developments recognizes that
nighty things have lieen wrought

aid understands why on every side,

are being made, sewerage and
Irainage systems, water works and

railroads are double-traokng
and extending their lines,
nodern docks and terminal faciliies
are being built; and, understanding
these things, he sees why

Bad Spelling.
The Pickens Sentinel thinks the
schools of the present day do not
pay enough attention to reading and
spelling. That has no douht been
said and thought of schools in every
generation since schools were first
established, and it will Ik- so throughout
all time. There may be some
ground for the statement that pupils
do not learn to spell well. They
never did. They never will. Spelling
is a very rare accomplishment.
Very few pupils stay at school long
enough to learn how. But they
spell as well now as those who went
before them; as well, we mean, as
those who were of equal attainments
in other lines of ls?ok learning. It
is said that Ocorge Washington was
a miserable speller. Many other
men distinguished in history spelled
badly. Kven some excellent scholars
misspell the commonest words.
Scholars give a good deal of attention
to spelling; but they must
teach other things as well, and can
not give an undue amount of time
to this subject. And if they should
they would surfeit their pupils with
it without accomplishing any good
result. As spelling is not strictly
an intellectual accomplishment, and
does not require any special brain
culture, it would be a mistake to
make it the chief end of school
training.
It is, highly desirable that one
should spell well, and we would not
say anything to discourage the acquirement
of this accomplishment;
but it is idle to expect good spelling
from the average pupil, who goes to
school only a short time, and is
crazy to g?-t out into the world to
"make a living". Our observation
is that the young people of today
are no more deficient in the art of
spelling than in any other branch
of learning?the deficiency arising,
not from a neglect of that subject
by the schools, but from the fact
that most onoils stav nt. fwhnol nnlv
long enough to get ii smattering ol
knowledge on various branches.
The deficiencies reveal themselves
more plainly in spelling than in
other lines of study and are therefore
more noticed.?The Newberry
Observer.
West Springs News Notes.
West Springs, May 2X.?The
