A MASTERLY ADDRESS.
The KatorerIms and Doty of Edo.

; paratloD and leward.
The Northampton Teachers'
Association met in Jackson on
the fifteenth. The morning ses
sion was devoted to a discussion
of "Health in Publio, Schools."
"Teachers' Reading Course, "and
"Teaching Children to Think."
After Junch came the feast of
the day. v ;
Supt. P. J. Long, in a few fit
ting and forceful statements in
troduced to the large audience
of teachers, townspeople . and
visitors from a distance, Dr. J.
Y. Joyner, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction. From the
opening to the , close of his mas
terly and touching address he
held his audience as in a trance.
The subject of his communica
tion was "The Nature, Aims and
Duty of Education, "and "Teach
er's Preparation and Reward."
The speaker impressed on - his
hearers at the outset the impor
tance of the child. He did not
wonder that the Master chose
one from this class about whom
to aay "Of such is the kingdom
of heaven." We can measure
the civilization of any nation,
country or home by the place
the little child .holds in it. Teach
ers and parents have a tremer
dous obligation and a solemn du
ty. There lies locked in the right
Bort of education money, man
hood and mastery, the greatest
of these being maBtery. The ed
ucation of the child is the most
sacred charge of civilization. It
is more than a knowledge of
books, more than what
tained in the four walls of a
school-room. The teacher must
organize and direct the agencies
in the community that will de
velop the best in the child. The
school should be the educational
centre. Teachers need a much
broader conception of their work
and of the agencies involved in
the same. ' Education should de
vebp that within a man and also
that about; a man. It should de
velop all his poer of mind,
body and soul and at same time
connect that power with all that
is about him. We would produce
a race of idle dreamers if we
should create desires without
developing power to satisfy them
by connecting with the world
about man; Man would , be as
useless as an engine fitted with
steam and power,' but having no
coupling with anything on which
to use this power.
There are two ultimate ends
of education, (1) To fit . jpan. to
live. (2) To fit him to make a
living. Education is not only
life but a preparation for life.
Hitherto education has been too
much a vocational training, to
make the preacher, the lawyer,
the doctor, the. teacher. The
result of this htos been over
crowding of the professions and
the presence in these of many
having no special adaptation to
their work. Thus many, finding
no open door in the professions,
for which they have prepared
themselves, turn to ' farming or
something else and begin again
by v "main awkardness and
strength.' V v-'S,. Tg.&: '.
: Later a, change came r when we
began to broaden our Conceptions
and (o comprehend the idea that
universal education was not. the
same for all sorts of folks but all
sorts of education for all sorts of
folks. It was then the founda
tion of democracy -equality of
opportunity to all and the jnreafr
est good to the greatest faatnber.
began to be laid. To the com
mon man, of whom" there are so
many, now was given consider
ation. Up to this time it was this
select few who were the benefi
ciaries in the educational world
Lincoln, ihe grand democratic
spirit, had a large part in fur:
thering this change. . He said he
thought the reason there were so
many common people was be
cause the Lord thought so much
of them. Schools must now be
made to administer to all and
teachers must read the hand
writing on the wall and prepare
themselves to direct this broader
education. Otherwise there may
follow a revolution and the work
may fall into the hands of those
not fitted for it -demagogues or
politicians.
In the United States 90 per
cent of the people lead an indus
trial life and less than 10 per
cent follow tne professions, while
in North Carolina 82 per cent
follow agricultural pursuits. The
rural schools must deal more
than ever with the things of ru
ral life. There should be a Farm
Life school in every county, well
equipped and who3e influence
would radiate to every school and
every farmer in that county. Ed
ucation must touch the f unda-,
mental, needs of Hfe.health.food,'
shelter, and raiment. Domestic
Science must be taught. As
"Man cannot live by bread alone"
neither can he live without bread
The soil, plant and animal life
must be studied. Thus will life
be made richer, more beautiful
i r .. t:.j
www lurcuuutry ciiuuren
Teachers must put something
into our preparation for educa
tion so that. they can show the
niiniln ' r.ViA crlnripn nf. f.Vin - Ufa
buuui uicui hi tun ireeo, uirps,
plants and flowers and in forest,
stream and sky. How many ru
ral children having eyes .see not
and having ears hear not , It is
the rural teachers' duty, to help
open the eyes to glorious sights
and the ears to the harmonies
about them. ' In the country is a
museum filled 'with living speci
mens of all sorts of life and
bounded only by the horizon as
wall and the sky as roof. Then
our young people would not be!
so anxious for the artificialities
of the city, its moving picture
shows and other things. Train
them to Bee and understand
God's great moving picture show
which begins with the rising of
the sun and ends .with the set
ting thereof, and in which the
scenes are shifted every hour by
the hand of God himself, for the
delectation of his people. With
Shakespeare they would find
"Tongues in trees, books in run
ning brooks, sermons in stone3
and good in everything."
There is nothing creative about
education. There is one creative
power only, sitting on the throne
above. ..All teachers can do is to
take the child as God has made
him and help him to make the
most of himself. They can only
stimulate, direct and leave him
to grow, grow, grow into the
likeness of God. It needs much
preparation of mind and body
and soul to thus direct. Those
with this sacred charge must
draw from fountains of life day
in and day out If the doctor
who has care only of the body.
has need 6f much professional
training, how much more have
teachers who have the . care of
body, soul and mind. r , ,
The teachers' reward is very
important It is true bis finan
cial reward is meager, but if his
work is faithfully done he has a
greater reward than that of pal
try aouars-a consciousness 01
work well done and of lives help
ed towards tiod which is worth
pore than alt the gold of Ophir,
