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, .

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." , "Servant of God. well done!

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.
