The KatorerIms and Doty of Edo. catloo and toe Teacbars' Pre-; ; 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, FK01 GEOKGL loshlo8.Peanats to lirket Western People Here for tbe Wtoter Personal Items.
