J Rev. J. B. f- bearer, D. I.. president of Davidson College, and president of the board of trustees of the Presbyterian College, needs no Introduction to this audience." Dr. Shearer acknowledged the happy introduction, and then announced as his subject: . - . . 8IJIPATHT CONSIDERED A8 A FOHCB JN EDUCATION- "Sympathy, sald.fle, "w usually clas sified mong tbe feelings, and Is regard ed as a participation in tbe feelings of others, especially their joys and sor rows, their pleasure and their pains. Such definition is too narrow to em brace all he facts. While every1 known feeling, - sensation, emotion or ,-. senti ment . may, be excited in another's breast by sympathy, it is hardly prop er to classify it among the feelings. It is rather a tendency of the mind anal ogous t - physical - temperament And modified by it, which may attain any and -every stage of realisation. - '"The word sympathy, in its etymol ogy, suggests similarity of affect km a passive receptivity of and an active as similation to, the feelings, sentiments, dispositions;: condition of others, and indeed to all mental states, embracing also cognitions and volitions. ,. Nor is! it limited to contact with mind, but is excited and directed by material and physical surroundings. "Three kinds of sympathy may be named as affecting education: First, there is physical sympathy. The body is affected by physical conditions and surroundings and the mind is affected through the body. "Second, there- is much, -sympathy with the physical through the intelli gence as it perceives order and har mony and "beauty in the material world. Beauty ia-rfaturein art and music, in neaiand elegant surroundings, develops Caste largely by contact, while disorder, deformity, unclean llness and the dis gusting mar and destroy the aesthetic faculties in the same way. Tbe third and the highest hind of sympathy is tbe physical sympathy of mind with mind, heart with heart, soul with soul. Its value is education will appear from several considerations: - n. Imitation has sympathy for its basis and inspiration. It is non-rational In Its beginnings, non-voluntary, spon . taneous and almost irresistible. It is .the Inspiration of childhood and youth and is guided more by Intelligence in after years, when . habits have been e formed and character fixed. "2. Sympathy Is an unmeasured force in the formation of character, It modifies tbe dispositions, it helps to fix habit. It determines prevailing con duct. . -7 . 1 "3. The power of example is based on - sympathy. It sharpens the reason to . see the beauty and attractiveness -of virtue. But virtue and reason plead in vain, when the heart vibrates to pleas ure's syren song "4. Sympathy is the teacher's greatest source of power and largely determines . the success of his work. - It is his to present a model for unconscious lim itation, and for- Intelligent following. ' The teacher must be full of sympathy for tbe pupil. Some call it tact, some - call it magnetism. Tact in discipline depends on the right understanding of the pupil, and this Is a sympathetic : rather than an intellectual process. "We talk of magnetism: is not the rationale this? Tbe face, the eye, the posture, tell their story to tbe sympa thetic speaker or teacher. The hearer catches the speaker's enthusiasm and intelligence as well, and soars with him into regions far above his ordinary level, and such is the result of action wad re-action that tbe teacher also Is ... often enabled to do his best thinking , -when stimulated by tbe presence and sympathy of his class. Herein is the Rvalue of the living teacher as eompar ' ed with the mere text-book drill, or a -. still more arid system of lectures, writ . tea and read as a mere product of the intellect. "From this same point of view we might put in a plea for the social, the moral and the spiritual as a necessary ' part of all education, but this would ' open too wide the limits of this discus sion. "6. We might also emphasize the -good or evil of the recreations and - amusements of life. Sympathy is most powerful to mould and fashion when the mind is in a state of abandon or surrender, . "Sympathy may be controlled by fix edness of purpose, by p re-occupation of mind, and by principle. "Happy is the teacher who works in '- touch, with every grade of pupil, bright v and dull. Intelligent and ignorant, refln . ed and boorish, virtuous and vicious. . - Only so can he be a blessing to all, and only so can he make the best possible out of all the material that passes un der his hands." After the address Miss Louie Jones was presented with a prise by Mr. Jun- Kin. ior the best map in putty. - The closing prayer was made by Dr. ' Shearer. A.MXVAX. OOMCKKT.

The Band Concerts Well Atteadsd Tester- : y SpeUiag Bee Te-Oay. The two concerts at the exnositloxt yesterday attracted even a larger num ber of out-of-town people than of borne folks. The people from the fanning districts especially, are coming in now ta see what has been- done by the wo men of Mecklenburg county. The fear that the. exposition would appeal only to those of more matured tastes or with a love for the fine arts has been dis pelled by the fact that people of every class and condition are delighted with the exposition and go time and time again. Some Interested friends appealed to the managers yesterday' for a continu ation but this js not probable.
