The Goldsboro correspondent of
thi Raleigh Post lays himself haole
to tbe scjrn ofThe progressive edu
cators of bis town by writing as fol
lows, recently:
There is complaint here that too
little attention is paid to the impor
tant studies of English grammar,
English composition, mathematics
and spelling by our graded schools.
L nese stuaies ure piauuouy u. uy;-. ...
beginning with the seventh gra-ie
And, too much, stress laid on the im-
nortance of the study of botany,
butterflies, grasbboppers and Latin
to too neglect or tuese umei luvr
essential studies"
You mustn't say such things, for
ii is an evidence that you are oe-
i the times. Those old fashioned
studies are ail right in their way,
but the modern child must get be
yond the three "Rs."; and know all
about bug;grasshoppers, butterflies,
etc. They must be entertained and
taught to study nature, you know.
The very fountain head of Chris
tian civilization aDd society is the
home; and one of the lamentable evi
dence of the decay of the home is found
in the frequency with which divorces
are grunted in our courts. The law
makes it too easy to obtain a divorce
and society is tar too lenieut m us
estimate of the evils following
divorces. Anvthintr that tends to
b-sn-n the sacredness and bitdirg
forc2 of the marriage vow is a men
ace to the stability cf the home and,
trercfore, to tbe virtue and integrity
of our f-ocial. life. The legislature
has :':veral bills before' it lcokitg to
changes in" the divorce laws of the
State; .'and. it. should' be sure that
every change, made in trie, present
law's should be cf such character, as
to render tbe obtaining of divorces
more. difficult. One of these bills

The K"ay Teaching Fad Will Old

In the last number of the Saturday
ETeningPp;t, there is an article by
E. Benjamin Andrews on "The Pub-licSchool-of
the Twentieth Century"
that is full of cemmon-seuse as the
following extract will show. "One
result of too much dependence upon
involuntary attention is to keep
pupils from paying close attention to
the logical elements., of knowledge,
training their minds to incoherence,
discontinuity', the avoidance of de
tails aud the disuse of the reason
ing power. Ljogical continuity in
mental work at last becomes impos
sible, though in the way-of fact j
knowledge the pupil may veritably
heap Pelion on Ossa, figuring as a
walking encyclopedia, equally ludi
crous and useless. In studying gen
eral nature- animal life, the mineral
world, or the vegetable kingdom, he
uses only his eyes, jumbling togeth-.
er masses of observations. Think
ing, he does not learn. We need a
return to tho methods of the school
in the wilderness forty years ago,
when the book and the pupil's hard
study of it made him a man. ,:
''Not alone light but strenuous
reading should be urged essays,
history, science, philosophy, books
that test aud bdoks that drill. No
table passages should be memorized,
and the most cardinal dates of human
history learned ouce for a l This
sort of study requires will-powr,
but it is indispensable, aud should'
be insisted tipon. . A pupil should on
graduation have not only an' open
mind and a beautiful nature, but a
resolute will and an amount of abso
lutely correct information in detail.
"Teo many boys and girls, after
leaving school, show evident disin
clination to irake strenuous effort of
any kind. They luck the power of
strong exertion, courage, resolution,
grit 'sand.' They are afraid to
take the initiative. The school
teaching of the next century, will
correct this, developing the .stren
uous qualities m children, me pu-
pil-wiil cease to feel that be must bo
cxtraneously interested before he
can act. Instead of looking' to his
teacher for interc-sr.as the pedagogy
of gush has taught him, hewill learn
to find that.quahty within himself
; wiii no longer be beaten into his
mind that his teacher, must amuse
him, keep him attentive. A sug
gested task may be never so dull or
hard, he will still be able to think of
it'ns required, as having claims up-
on inm. iJie:ity oi ine tonic ot driv
ing the will to perform unpleasant
duties will continually be given
him." '

Yes, August Flower still has the

civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
inr anything else for indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appendi-
citis, Nervous Prostration ov Heart
failure, etc. They used August .
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation' of indigested
food, regulate the action of th' liver,,

they took when feeling dull and bad

Practical farmers to Direct."
News and Observer, 24th.
None but practical farmers, those
who are actively engaged in agricul
tural pursuits, can hereafter be ap
pointed or elected to the position as
a member of the State Board of Ag
riculture, at least the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture nas unani
mously decided to report Senator
Scott's bill to this effect, favorably.
This decision was reached yester
day afternoon and today Senator
Rurrouj'hs. who is chairman of the
committee, will report the bill to the
Senate. -
Senator Scott is a practical farmer
himself and deeply interested in" all
matters pertaining to agricultural
pursuits. The bill that he introduc
ed in the Senate has two features.
First, it provides tliat for all va
cancies which -shall occur, on the
State Board of Agriculture by tbe
expiratiou of the term of the present
Encumbent the General Assembly
shall elect as practical farmer. The
bill stipulates that the same rule
shall apply for such membership on
the board as for the Commissioner
of Agriculture, who must be a prac
tical farmer according to tho law al
ready in force. A vacancy by death
or resignation on the board is rilled
by the board.
'Second, this bill of Senator Scott
provides t hat if the office of Commis
sioner of Agriculture becomes vacant
by either d-iath or resigr.at ion, th; n
ihe Governor shad appoint to fill the
vacancy.- As the law now stands tue
Board of Agriculture shall fill such
a vacancy if it occurs. Senator
Scott's bill changes this so that the
Governor shall appoint.
