No. 4 5 - f wosx or THAcunrj' dtstitutb On of tht Teachers Writes Interest . intfy of Its Great Benefits to Thoae V Attending., Mr Editor : Too will please allow us a word about the Teachers' Insti ' tnte beld in Concord from August 22 to September 2. It U ao muea KaUm than anvthinr v aver had. and will be ao far reaching in good r- nlli (hat ft wilt inar-V an atwwOi in the history of education for Cabarnu county, and for the State aa for that t matter. . The attendance was large t and " continuous" and the interest ' fine. Nearly every teacher eat up and took notice.. And instead of waning . the interets grew from day to dij nptil the time for the benediction. When we come face to face with modern ideas and improved methods in our Tocation, let it be teaching, fanning or what, we ought to em- i brace it and make the moat of it It would be a very stupid person in deed, who,' after two weeks in a teach ers' institutejike the one we bad in Concord, that' could not feel a quieV , ening of a brighter and a better life. Why, we as teachers, are just now ' starting. It is not possible to see lit. 1L. - 1 1 f ' 4 t ,wiin db eyes cioseo. vur meuiai vision often gets foggy. . I believejT echo the sentiment of every teacher in attendance when I say that our "visual horizon is clearer, our grasp of things more vivid and the real cause of our existence more apparent. Professors Allen and Newbold, in carrying out their work from day to - day, won the highest respect of the teachers by their genteel and pleasant manner of approach. They did not come up on the wrong aide of the teacher, as wo sometimes do with oar children in the school room,, but like all real pedagogues they used tact, , and in this way they never failed to get a response from the teacher on the subject under- consideration.' Yes, there 'were a few Vheated vdiscus- : sions" to wake np the sleepy fellows, but not enough to make anybody mad. - The proposition, that provoked the , greatest tumult,: and in our opinion the most important question that was touched upon daring the Insitute, was brought up by Prof. Allen in the form of a anestiont "Should we have the child study with a view of 'storing up knowledge for future use, or rather should he notlrtudy in order that he 'may best know-how to live in the it ' i Ml - 1 x- T. ' a v present, lruui aay w nay i x rui-.au-len took- the latter vie.w whereupon quite a number of teachers took issue 1 against what ' they .thought was ex tremely radical, if not heretical. The discussion which followed waxed fast - and furious and when, the emoke of tattle had cleared away there were -Jo be found large number of teachers who were ready to embrace the new creed. Prof.' Allen seems to have a . - definite purpose in everything be un dertakes, and when he thinks there ""Slight be a better route to the desired -goal he strikes out single-handed and blazes bis way through the primeval forest of human research, regardless of the old beaten paths and wagon : ruts of the centuries past and gone. He does not believe in teaching facts, out the things ' that lead to facts. What we have said in this connection might be said of the other Institute .-conductors, Prof. Kewbold, Mrs. Ste- ' vens. Mrs. Read and Miss Mary Lewis Harris. It goes without saying that Mrs. Stevens, by her winsome and gen ale manner and her Christian bearing, won for herself the profound admira tion and esteem of every teacher. She crraur luum n. fmin dfalv iA Aav ' AnA when the pour Cor separation bad -. come, all too soon many a heart sad- , ' ' 1 1 i.l i a lV ' t . t i aenea at tne vnougnt tnat mey migni never have the pleasure of meeting and conversing with this noble woman subject yith such rare skill, bad gone again. Mrs. Bead, who bandied the home at the end of the first week. She too had endeared herself to the teach- era with an Attachment that was de serving, and which we feel will be lasting... As much as we would like to go into the details of our Institute, I shall have to forbear, for it would make our letter too long, bnt we must reiterate here, in a way, .the spirit of Mr. James Gourley'e speech of thanks to the teachers of the Concord Graded Schools for the loving kindness which they exemplified when they tendered . to the rural teachers a most beautiful "cream and cake. That was not only a generous act, it was a Christian en- deavor, and will not go unrewarded. I feel like saying bare as did Prof. Newbold, "It's the (finest spirit I've . seen yet." While we country teachers . mav not all find the courage to corns to the front and acknowledge our ob ligations to our city cousins and co laborers, we feel sure that every one of ns does thank them, and wUl doubt less find it within our power at aome time to reciprocate this, unusual ex pression of love that they showed for the humble teacher in the country. .When we come to think of it in certain way, and perhaps in the right way too, we can't help but think that Concord has some of the bestipeople in the world, anyway. Now-that pro gram on the last day of the Institute. To whom are we indebted "for this brilliant occasion f The epeechea by Messrs. Bivins, Durham and Mrm Stcveoa. The singing; it was grand. Whoever beard a quartette rendered any better than our own boya dij it T I give you my word, I never did. You may call me a green born if yon want to, but tho uplifting spirit that per meated every phase of the Institute work found a glorious and harmonious expression in that song. All honor to our worthy and beloved superintendent of schools, Prof. Cbas. . Boger, for his able management of the educational work of our county. He bas given ns the best institute the county- has ever had. He is the teacher's friend, and this means that ha is everybody's friend, for It is through his teachers that he can and does reach every child and every pa rent in the county,' and that to own and bless, to elevate and ennobft the citizenship of our grand State. - ' .

I ITational Hatting of Om of tU Big gest Orgsjilxatiou In tho World, -' Special to The Tribune. Charlotte, N. C, Sept 8. No one who bas been keeping op with the proceedings of the National Farmers' Union in this city would venture any opinion other than that the union is a thoroughly business) organiza tion. With the exception of tho first session Tuesday morning the meet ings have been of an executive nature and no visitors, not evea tho ubiqui tous newspaper reporter, has been allowed to be present. The Farmert' Union S one of the biggest organizations in tho world and the personnel of the men hero for the convention from all sections of the country has been evidence that keen intelligence and shrewdness are not lacking among tho leaders of the Un-. ion. It is rather pleasing to note also that the delegates from this im- ediate section are decidedly promt- nut in the body of the country's rep resentative farmers here.. ; v On account of tho very nature of the meetings the entertainment of the convention has - been very simple. There was a reception at the Selwvn Hotel Tuesday evening. Yesterday af ternoon tne delegates were taken in charge by the farmers of Mecklen burg county who drove them over the county's good roads and entertained them, last night in their own homes. The convention will come to a close with the session this afternoon. A feature of the convention, or a side feature rather, was the treating of tne entire convention" to cotton flour buns and a display of feed stuffs made from cotton seed, a raw product that has just begun- to- come into its own in this eection. The delegates from the West, particularly, were infc pressed with the exhibition of feed stuff, which included the new horse feed, Scocotos. which is made from cotton seed meal, rice bran, com and molasses giving, the same food ele ments as the natural oats and being much cheaper. The articles in the exhibition were described in a souv enir booklet presented by the South- era Cotton Oil Company, the pioneor exponent -ox the newer products cf tho cotton seed. The exhibitiav.ws plentiful, evidence to the debates Wivnt : from all aections -Jhafc . te South" is no longer : an impow'tsr'ipf ' grain and other feedstuffs from other sections. -; ''..:-.-:Vv,. .-. "We have a great cattle conntrv out in Kansas and farther out," de clared a prosperous looking farmer from the Middle West, "bnt you folks right nere nave the advantage of us if you'd only use it. This Boveta stuff and your other cotton seed feeds are just a by-product with you and yet they are just as good as the corn and hay that we raise, and your peo ple here say better. This would be a great cattle country if your opportu nities were utilized, and the beauty of the thing is that it might still remain a great cotton country.';; ; k, - J-Jim Tillman Fatally HL James H.

Paisley. , A eorrespondent of The Lexington Dispatch signing himself "M" writes as follows: , Tho fall of Rev. Paisley, the Piv byterian minister of Mooresville, is to be regretted for various reasons: - 1st. It encourages tho criminal and semi-criminal classes - and - excuses men of low morals and ' habits . in their conduct 2nd. It eausea. hidden critics of ehurch work to open fire with soma show of reason, when the real reason is their own bad hearts and lack of religion. 3rd. Many men will tall of this nun's fall with gleeful words, but will not think to apeak of tho many good and kind things he did, nor of the years of hard, weary work in th j srmee of the Master. 4th. This man did a terrible wrong to the state and church, out still be was human. , Perhaps, aa is often tno cause, the woman mi the mam cause of his fall. For a long time slifi was the nurse of his invalid wife, and as such may have thrown- temp tations his way, which were bard to bear; Preachers are often rever enced and almost worshipped by w.c men, and this very love end confi dence tempts both the man and the woman in. such a way that at any time a sudden and sad result is likely to occur. 5th. While the minister ?id wron? when he yielded to his temptation, did tie not do a greater wrong in con fessing to it when it was unnecessary for him to do sot Why did not he not resign from his position and go to some other calling or resume his cal ling elsewhere, if he sincerely re pented in his heart. His conscience, hti saws, made him acknowledge his wrong. He thus ruined ti.u own life, l:is wife's life, the life of the child and the life of the child's mother, for uer name is surely known to all Mooresville people. He should have kept the secret and either gotten for giveness from his God and kept on serving him. or have resigned and gone into other work. The greatest wrong to society in general and to all concerned was the confession of Mr. Paisley. M. See The Times for Job Printing.
