The most advanced eon K ception of Instruction has reverted to 5 the foundation principle that educa ' tioa means training, and that the teacher's duty la one of helpfulness rather than compulsion. The Ideal aim U to stimulate the student mind to 6 work through the agency of its own V .nd 5 not of an eternai K will. The importance of a real master J In developing thia aim is manifest, v but the nature of the mastery to be 3f exercised differs from what It has 5 , been and is many fold. a 1. The teacher must be master or 5 hi purpose. Sia rudderless ship that ever rode the great deep was more derelict than the': teacher who strives to win the Z. young to better living without a pur pose. Who has right to complain that ' there is no Joy la his work when he does not know he is In It, or if he does if know is ashamed to tell? The immor- tal soul cannot be satisfied with f worldly things and no high calling J mi bring peace without high ideals. That the teacher deserves more of material things than he gets Is pain fully evident, but this does not pre clude the application of the text: Beek ye first the kingdom of Ood tf. knd his righteousness, and all these , things shall be added unto you." ' "Keeping school" Is a mechanical . process. Real teaching Is the antlthe- sis of mechanics, its source of power ' is In thought, and until thought is .rr bound to purpose there can be no ac- comnllshment worthy of the intellect of man. Thought creates all things; physical forte has never created any thing: but tlft creative thought steers clear of atmlessnese and drifting an J is ever guided by a dominant purpose. The first thing every student should be taught about school in general and each atndy in particular. Is the reason for Its existence: and in every detail of the school system the consciousness Of the pervading central aim should be invariably manifest. Almlessness fatal an easy prey to little iH-orrtes, doirWs and tribulation. and Inevitably brings Tenure ana nnhapplness. Consecration to a fixed ideal focusses the thought and energies and opens wide the door to certain results, success and peace. t. The teacher must be master of himself. , "Know thyself was the admoni tion of the greatest of philosophers, and "He' that ruleth his spirit is monger than he that taketh & city is the doctrine of the greatest of teachers. Self-control Is the -key to ih9 mastery of any situation. They who can not govern themselves need not hope to govern others. In any con teat between individuals the one who loses his temper thereby Incurs the i wbret disadvantages, while the one feho restrains himself ia the victor. : "Possession la nine points of the law, 1 and self-possession is ten." There Is no surer Index to character than the . s degree of self-mastery. ' - They who know themselves and rule their spirits, have their power . , under control so that It can bo best utilised In controlling others. The crater-power of a mountain stream f tnust be restrained before It can be . made useful but in restraint It gives " light and power to multitudes. Bo our k- mentaL-energlea, when pent up for th work in hand, carry light and power into the minds of those we pro-, fees to lead. ' Serenity Is tne of the most dellght- ful and one of the most beautiful at 5 tributes" of character; and its corol lary, the conservation of energy, la one Of the best elements of wisdom. Many are the teachers who destroy the ef fects' of their own labor by Intem perance in word end deed, and few in deed are the fortdnate ones who use only so many words. as they can use appropriately and effectively. Whoever allows little incident to disturb his equanimity,: can not expect to domi- i nate. the multiplicity of incidents which altogether make up his work, i Absolute self-mastery Is the foremost requisite for school-mastery, and it tnust , he so complete that the teachor will, never allow anything to swerve ' 3 him from tne straignt pain oi auiy r that leads toward the fulfillment of ' tis mission. , , t."

In thia act we need every possible facility and we cannot be too precise in the choice of .ways. Pedagogy in psychol ogy applied to practice In the school room in the light of experience. No operation In this world la 0 delicate aa the training of mind and soul, and to Ignore the best results of the study of mind and aoui ia without excuse. The artist may be a, genius and have the Inspiration of a prophet, but if he knew not how to mix and choose i m kJlktv, m cu uv nuv4iu well-meanlnc teachers meet bit. ter disappointment at this crisis. Pre suming to know all things, they learn nothing and thus violate the sacred Injunction: "Thou that teachest an other, teachest thou not thyself T" B. The teacher must be master of the subject taught. "He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he knowT" The Savior of mankind successfully spread abroad the knewledge of God because he knew Ood. Rome knew law and taught law to the world. Greece knew art and taught art to the world. Wherever any great thing has been taught, the teaching has ibeen founded on superior knowledge. Nothing ia more impo tent than the attempt to teach some thing of which the teacher Is not a master. It Is not mere technical knowledge that Is needed, but that deeper comprehensive understanding that enables such a grasp of it that inspiring Instruction comes aa the un folding of new life. In logical order and sequence, and ever m accordance 1th a dennlte undeviatlng aim. An attempt ha been made to define just how much a man should know In order to teach. The consensus of opinion is that his own scholastic prep aration should extent four years be yond the place to which his teaohlng extends. This is as near the truth as we can probably reach, for to meaa ure knowledge Is aa Impossible as to measure the waters of the seas. That the teacher should know something of everything and aa nearly everything as possible of his particular subject. Is too obvious to need comment. H a mastery . of the subject be teases should be so complete that the student mind will b impressed by It and thereby be Inspired to strive for similar mastery. With this at tainment and with the consciousness that more knowledge Is bora,, every day than any mind can conceive, the endeavor should be to maintain the mastery by constant acquisition, in the belief that the best educated man Is not the one who ha accumulated the most facts from the experiences of the ages, but rather the one who beat uses the facts he has in applica tion to new idea and new experi ences. ' t. The teacher must be master of the situation. When Richard the- Third. In 1(81. moved from his castle toward London to seise the crown .rightfully belong ing to hi child-nephew, he moved with a consciousness of power born of the open knowledge that of all the scheming faction in the kingdom, there was but one man who could dominate in that crisis and that man was himself. Such a feelinjr of mastery comes from successful experience which ha proved that the muur haa the ability to rule. This undisputed pre-eminence In the school room Is an invaluable requisite of the good teach er, and th pre-eminence must be the result of the cheerful acquiescence of tho student in the leadership. Thi acquiescence In turn 1 the product of a mind and soul that In every prob lem of school routine show themselves big and broad enough to rise to the occasion and grasp it with aaeuranc of victory and without fear ofdefeat. The master must be strong enougTi to stand like a man in" the conscious ness of right and to bow like a man in the knowledgement of error. The teacher can not hope for mastery as the Great Teacher was master, except in the spirit of service and sacrifice; and unless he be better and stronger than those under hi care, in person ality. Influence, knowledge, purpose and character. When theae end are attained, the schoolmaster becomes th teacher, and the teacher becomes the real master of the spirit and the life oft his work. This masterful teaching leads the student out of the darkness of the labyrinth of ignorance mto the clear light of certain knowledge, and thence comes the faith of the dieclpio in th master that brings both to gether in a spirit or good will and mutual dependence in furthering the work of the spreading of knowledge and righteousness, j POUTIOS .

For instance; .. just after the close bf hostilities between th North and the South, when tho Republican party jumped into power, had everything in It hands for almost a decade and yet paid no attention to school for th benefit or th chil dren of the Stat. They seemed to think tt beet to perpetuate their par ty rule and not to educate the chil dren of the SUte. There was not pub- lie school taught North Carolina for seven-year after the war. : Yet $40,000,009 was squandered that th people go no benefit from, it seems to m that any great party, should have made hn effort' to educate the rialns srtinn. ilmnlv to hold th control they cam into possession of by the result of the unequal sir no. Whv thev acUut thus wa cannot un derstand, unless they felt guilty end had an inward consciousness that tha day would - soon come when they would have to render an account of their stewardship - Mow wab it With the University of the State? Horror of horrorsl la those terrible time of railed reconstruction our State "was well-nla-n ruined. Th oolltlcal party in oower In 1MT drove th faculty of Chapel Hill from thi seat of learning that was placed in their cnarge oy North Carolina, when Immediately every Southern boy left for bis hornet Many of them. too. . were diss men fcoldler deairing to get an education that would enable them the better to make a living. The Idea of cutting off such able teacher as Rv. .Charles Phillip. D. D., and Professor Fetter and other men of great learning! To think that thia party of hatred to the south should lass cnarge oi tne university- of North Carolina! Wonder ful to UlL they had for a student bodv the sons of the Northern profes sors. six little boy wearing round- a-bout coat and knee pants! Might made right This wonderful student body, with the connivance of the fee ulty, carried off many cf the choicest booh of th library and left them ly ing about in the campus to b ruined by ram ' and aunahlne. There was no money In the treasury when they call ed for their salaries, and they were not nald at thi time. Before tne treasury wa filled native Carolinians were in th saudle, and they left witn- out their Tay The thievish days of reconstruction were over for many -days. But after a lapse of some thirty year the Dem ocratic party became dictatorial and Intolerant so much ao that th Popu list party came Into existence; and the Republican party received a new lea of life and a Republican qovernor ana a Populist and Republican Legwa ture were elected In lt. But -seven Democrats wore elected 'to the Senate, The State that had been Democratic for so many year now looked blue indeed. Many of my readers will re member that I wa a Populist at that time and wa elected .to, the Senate. Party olrtt was hot at that time. remember In January when I tarted to th Southern depot on my way to Raleigh not a Person spoke to me; in fact; they would dodge Into stores or any house on th street to avoid me even the police would avoid me a they would have done a leper. When I got to Raleigh I found politic in a wonderful whirl. A United State Sen ator waa to be elected. Everybody was anxlou for his man; tho Republican were feeling the Populist for their man, and truth compel me to say quite a number 'took sugar in the'rn." "V Human nature, unsarietlfled by th grace ot Ood. is th Aoat desplsable thing outside of nan. I -met witn men there who had been eleeted a Pop ulists by the people.-who at once sold out for a meea -of ftttf Th leader of the sevtn Democrat in two weeks after the session opened came to my seat and put his arm around my shoulders and whispered in my ear "Hold out as you have started and we will help you to get anything you mar want for yourself or ror your county. I was astonished and amased but an swered. "I want nothing but good gov ernment." Before my - astonishment had subsided the next day the leader of the Republican party came to my seat and whispered in my ear, "Hold the course you have started' On and w will give you whatever you t, ask for yourself orf for your- cdunty?" I Immediately thanked him for hi of fer and said, " want. nothing bat good government." These two proposition to the populist party, at nearly tne same time, by the two great parties of the State, were hard to understand at that time; but with the light of u years added it looks aa If they war trying to coax th w party to tk shelter under the wing of th parent. But while I am Id this reminiscent mood I will say that I -received many favors of the greatest value to the State In the saving ot money, and to the county In saving her front a police bill like WHmlngton'a, which re sulted in scenes too awful to contem plate in times of profound peaee. 4 To return to the scenes that w'e left unfinished pertaining to the Yankee teacher In the University of the State. A bill wa presented to the Senate to pay Professor Brewer 11. 19 for teaching at Chapel Hill. I asked when thi bill waa due and why It was not paid long ago. I wax answered that the "Democrat had been In pos session ever since and, they would not allow It to be paid; and we want to pay it off and not have It said North Carolina refuse to meet hr just -obligations. We paid Rv. Solomon Pool, president of the University, hi sal ary of 14.000, and now wa want to pay the Brewer salary and equar uth books." I replied that th Pool sal ary should not have been paid by the Legislature of IMS. that money should have gone to the education ot the children of onr State, but: it wga ap propriated to those who robbed eur State and left mm poor Indeed. The bill waa approved before the commit tee by a vote of It to I. f waa the only one who voted againet paying th bin. When the bill came up in the Senat. th Senator from Ooldsboro. who styled himself a radical Repub lican, moved to "have the bill refer red back to the committee, saying that be bad Information that the Sen ator from Mecklenburg - would hot dare to vote against th bill. To thi turn of aairs I eeald ke notmng; and 1 mad no opposition. The next day the -t committee met again with two Republican lawyer to steer theJ committe. A on aa 1 entereo xn room the chairman said to me, - "I suppose you hate something to say." To. I hav something to say" I re plied and X immediately pok to Law yer Sharp and naked him his busi ness before th committee. He aald. "I am an aa attorney," "AB attorney fer-whomT" "Mr. Brewer." Thia wa tho first tlm I had mat him since h we in' charge of the freed man's hu rra 1 in Cbarlntten HIS.
