THE "bAILY WORKMAN
J. S. MltllTUX, Local Editor
A paper for all people, but specially
to meet the desire which many are
known to entertain for a non-politioal
abeet, , the Workman will atrive to go
into every house, leaving to other papers
the so ence of politics, giving the news
in tirief and holding itself responsible
" to the moral sense of the community for
1M utterances.
For ths Daily Workman.
OUR INSTITUTE
(CONCLUDED FROM SATURDAY.)
Some of us have prided ourselves
upon our oral spelling, and the facili
ty with which our pupils could spell
difficult words. Now we are told
this is no spelling at all, that writing
the word is alone spelling;. Here
again we are fundamentally wrong,
What are we to do? We must do
something;: the foundations are re
moved. Are we to use the battering'
ram and by a rapid use of it destroy
and lay in the dust all we have done
and begin all anew? Won't the
school house soon be put out the win
dow at this rate and the teacher with
it? Will commissioners and parents
and friendly advisers submit to this
levelling pjocess? No, it will not do.
We must improve but not destroy
"festina lente, hasten slowly ; little
by. little we must inaugurate these
changes and very carefully and judici
ously then, or we will have the com
munity about our ears a spelling
book regiment that would soon snow
us under. As teachers of Guilford
the question is before us and must be
met. Let us think the matter over
and conclude and go to work. Other
schools in our own State have radi
cally changed, anlwe must, sooner
or later. The very persons who fight
the system now, will be fighting us
next year if we do not prepare the
way to adopt it. ''The world do
move;" times change nhd we must
change with them. Therefore I ad
vise mat we as an institute start in
each of our schools the "new educa
tion." Another thing we must do is
to attend to the subject of rhysiology
and Hygiene in our schools. We
have no option in this. It is a branch
of study, and the teachers are doing
well to attend carefully rrof. Holt
lectures. All the books on teaching
recommend judicious physical cul
ture, wholesome exercise of the body
along with the mind. Do we see to
this? Is it habitual in my school to
have calisthemc exercises and proper
out door sports? If not let this be at
tended to. Prof. Holt gave us a lee-
ture on bow to secure prompt attend
ance at our schools and the most ef
ficient way was by marking the" pupil
on each recitation.
Let us try too. We want our pu
pils to attend. There is no marked
progress without prompt attendance,
unless we put into practice in our in
dividual schools the best things we
hear from those who are considered
our best teachers, unless we "learn to
do a thing by doing it," our insti
tute is worthless we had better be
at home.' Certainly every teacher who
has attended this institute ought to be
a far better teacher next year than he
ever was before. We have two prac
tical teachers as our leaders in this
institute whose success as teachers is
the school each has built up. For a
week steadily they have given us their
way of doing things, and still for an
other week this opportunity will be
offored the teachers of Guilford county
to gain from the living teacher what
they can not get in any other way. J
Let us improve these privileges, let
us go on to prefection. So much for
the work to be done. Who are the
makeup of our Institute. Well we
have 44 members - on the rail and
some eight 01 ten who roll so much
we can't get them on. You call to
mind the .sheep counting, and the
active black one, if we could poll the
rollers we would 'number; overdo.
That leaves over 50 teachers in Guil
ford who have no part nor lot in this
matter. I would recommend one if
our leaders to take holt of this matter.
We have a "Bacheldor" who is not a
bachelor but a maid.and if the grammar
teacher can explajn this paradox by
"Read and Kellogg" we will follow
his read, otherwise we call for ; the
new education," and more light. ,
i ',. "But, good iny brother, .
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to
heaven ; ' . .
.. . , ,...,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance
treads, ,
Andreoks not hia own read."
-N , v --Hamlet-Shakespeare.
Dome persons are ot value in
particular and not in another. Some
in head, some in physical develop
ment. Our Institute presents with
pride a "perfect woman nobly plan
ned," who is all Worth, and worth
all. She denies that there are 108
bones in the human skeleton and af
firms that there are 208, and we say
her answer is worthy of her and is
the naked truth. '
We have Scales to keep us well
balanced. Caldwell, which is very
well, as hot as it is sometimes : this
member will act as a sort f check
upon our July Thermometer climbing
high among the nineties and endeavor
ing to boil over. Then we have
"Anthony," not "anthony over"
"take her," but Miss Anthony don t
mistake her. Further down Sher
wood and Woody fuel, to keep up to
"White heat," as recommended by
Prof. Holt in conducting recitations,
and it these two don t make tne hre
hot, we will add three r four Sir.iths,
who are always good at blowing up a
fire at somebody else's expense. And
now we have partially photographed
"Our Institute." Look on this side
then on that of the picture. Don't
fall out by the way. Keep as cool as
you can. worry kins more people
than work, therefore work harder and
worry softer. An old experienced
teacher said, when he. found himself
getting worried and excited at a pupil
he just dropped into his chair and
augheu a naif a minute as hard and
loud as he could, and it cured him.
Try it. I suspect it will cure you.
Think of our work and we have no
time for worry; the time is short.
"Whatsoever you do, do withyour
might." I recall one of our number
last year who is with us to-day. He
was my friend and associate. Let
me lay a wreath upon his grave.
Mature, cultured and scholarly, he
came among us to help in the great
work in which we are engaged. He
entered with zeal into the work. He
was affable and kind, and cordial, and
sympathizing with his teachers. He
was fast leading his own special de
partment up to higher plains and
broader views, and this influence was
reacting upon all the departments.
Superadded to all these influences,
his humble , faithful, earnest life as
christian worker, harmonized and
moulded and mellowed all his attain
ments into the one great effort to
serve his Lord and do good. Such
life is a constant preparation and the
only fitting preparation tor death.
And our friend and brother in the
midst of life, in the midst of useful
ness, right in his room before his
school and classes, with armor on,
is stricken down and passes out from
his w'ork to a bed of weakness, and
then away to the "rest that remain
eth." I have called to your minds
and memory our friend and brother,
Prof. W. C. Doub. "Be ye also
ready." ,

Talking Bock is the name of a
Georgia Post-Offioe. The name is
said to have originated in this way:
Soma one discovered in the vicin
ity a large stone upon whioh had
been painted the words "Tarn me
over. It. required' considerable
stresgth to accomplish this, and
when it was done tne command,
"Now tnrn me back, and let me
fool some one else," was found
painted on the under. Bide of the
stone. '
Many a man put in the seed who
never saw the harvest, just as many
another brought home ripe sheaves
on wmon ne , oestowea no xoDor
save that of the sickle. The work
er for Christ, therefore, is to work
in faith, expecting the divine band
to secure the result. He has abun-
ant reason to believe that good is
one of which he has do knowl-
idce. and will have none until that
(great day. X W. Chambers. ,
