FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE
COME TOGETHER.
A Moving L.lne a-Mile Loo? Wltn Ban
ners and Bands - Two ' Eloquent
Speeches A Grand Barbecue.
Salisbury had a gala day Satur
day. It is estimated that there
were fully 5,000 people assembled.
The procession was immdnse and
c acla a string cf horseback and ve
hicle riders of not less than a mile
in length with banners and various
decorations. The States ville; the
Faith and the Trading Ford bands
enlivened the procession with
splendid music and made the en-
thusiasm overflowing.- A unique
feature of the Faith Band is that
it has two lady cornetists. Their
attire was made in colors that har
monized bo completely with the
jniforms of the men that only close
observation detected the presence
of the fair ones. - . 1
A throng is rarely treated to two
speeches in one day to compare
withjthose of Messrs. Pou and Ay
cock. The speakers wore compara
tive in the substance of their
speeches but were a contrast in their
manner of delivery. MrPou's calm
and genial face is never distorted
and his voice is never harsh vyet it
lis a rare treat to hear his clear en
unciation, his sound logic and the
pleadings - that come from the
'dephts of a heart that catches your
own. ' t. ' - - " ' -"-r

HIS ATTENTION WANTED.
Instead of Nome Kind or Sport Let
the Cblld Get Interested in Mis
Studies This (Depends Upon tne
Teacher's Abllny.
One of the secrets of learning is
the ability and will to pay atten
tion closely to any subject which
one may desire to study. The
secret of school management con
sists as much in securing the at
tention of the pupils as in any
other one principle underlying
school government. The teacher
who succeeds in controling the
desires of his pupils will be suc
cessful. He will then secure the
attention of his pupils, and the
pupils will have the proper mo
tive for giving their attention to
the work that may be required of
them.
It is well known that some chil
dren soon become interested in
books, and seem to study through
love for the work. They may be
led on by curiosity, but whatever
it may be that does lead them on
it is evidence that they have a
desire to satisfy their (curiosi
ty or whatever it may be that they
desire to learn.
Now if some children desire to
learn why do not all children de
sire to learn I Is it not , likely that
every child does want to learn, the
only difference being that some
want to learn the things taught at
school, while others do not want
to study those subjects.. It is no
doubt true that there is some in
teresting subj ect for every boy or
girl, if only the subject can be
found. As was stated in a former
article, the mind will act, and can
not ba thought .of as a non-acting
thing. Children's minds are there
fore always acting, and if left to
themselves the action will be gov
erned by the pleasure the child
takes in the subjects about which
it is thinking.
Children also haye the power
of giving attention to a certain de
gree. This is fully confirmed by
the fact that the average boy will
sit and watch a cork a whole hour
without getting so much as a nib
ble at his hook. If you give him
a few boards, a saw, hammer and
nails, he will work a half day mak
ing a rough rabbit-box, and, after
the box has been completed will
be well satisfied with the job. He
will put enough time and atten
tion in school to fix a pin in the
toe ot his shoe so as to jag the boy
in front of him, as would be suffi
cient to learn a lesson in geography.
He has energy and the ability to
pay attention to any thing he wished.
Now the problem before the
teacher in such a case is to get the
boy to stop studying about fishing,
making rabbit-boxes, fixing pins in
the toe of his shoe and sticking
the othMr nunil8 with them. That
energy and attention mast be divert
ed to the regular work of the school.
The teacher must find on t what will
be of interest to ithe boy. If geogra
phy can be made more interesting
than fishing, the boy will be better
pleased with studying aboat Jakep,
rivAm. n.itiea. towns, etc.. than he
wry j - m
will be with thoughts -of going
fishing. If the reading lessons are
properly conducted it may happen
that he will become more fond of
reading than making rabbitsb'oxes.

in the desk before him. The teacher
must endeavor to get the boy's
mental energy directed in the way
indicated by the studies required in
the school. Here, is the place th
teacher will find much use for fa
miliarity with books and stories that
will make every subject studied in
school full of interest. The teacher
who must from necessity sit in the
school house with the ability to do
nothing but hear lessons, and doing
that oftentimes poorly, will hardly
have the means at command to direct
the minds of lively boya and girls
into the i proper channels, A live
boy is going to be mischievous if his
mind is not kept employed on some
subject that will interest him more
than the ideas he has already. It is
the duty of theteacber to find out
when new ideas will give him pleas
ure. A different explanation of a
set of examples may give the boy
new ideas, and through them he may
become interested in the study ef
arithmetic. A story about seme
great man may cause him to have a
higher idea, and lead him to read
ing about great and good men. A
description of an island, or a narras
tive of events that have occurred in
a country may lead the boy to see
that there, is something interesting
in the study t of ? geography. These
hints, might be extended. The live
and well informed teacher knows
