A reporter called on Maud Louise Barber the other day, and told her how much he had enjoyed the comedy "Lost A Bride" on the previous night, and how he had especially appreciated Miss Barber's 'highly meritorious work in her role of Flossie. "Now," continued the scribe, "if you'll give nie some interest ing story about yourself, I'll be glad to publish H this afternoon." "I prfer re lying on what merits the kind public may believe me to possess, rather than on any inventions of a literary charac ter, thank you," modestly replied the actress. "What, not even a diamond tobbery?" "No," not even an attempted one pressed undaunted, the sensational jour nalist ' "Well, -when I was out west three years ago, I did come near losing my jewels," said Miss Barber, smilingly. "Uur train was held op, and the robber came to where I sat trembling. 'Give we what you've got?" said a stern but not unfriendly voice. 'Here they are.' I said cheerfully glad to get out of the situation alive handing the man a chamois skin bag. 'What? said the rob ber. 'My diamonds,' I answered; 'I'm i an actress, Maud Louise Barter, yon know, and . But he topped me: 'Madame, I may be a train robber, but i am nor an assistant to your press went' " "I thank yon for that story," said Miss Barber' Interviewer and rose and hurriedly took hi leave. . The above occurred In Danville, Va. MU Barber, who la leading lady in the "Lost A Bride" Oomedy Company, will be here on Thursday, December 30th, and will on that date take part in the performance of that comedy success at the Metropolitan Opera House.

"I just love children, and like to listcii to their sayings, wise tind otherwise," Franc LeMonc was heard to say the other day, of the caRt of the "Lost A JJiride". Company, who' are to produce their much praised comedy success as the special (holiday attraction at ' the Metropolitan Opera House on December 30th. " ', "They are more-often., wise , than laughable too..; The other- da f,' a drug gist at Charlotte, in. whose doorw"ay. I happened to be standing at the time, re ceived quite a philosophical lesson of 'business genetosity" from a little negro errand boy. The little fellow bad seen a stump of a cigar fall on the sidewalk only a little way from where I was standing, lie made a second base slide and grabbed it. ' "Dat war in Cuba Is making Havanas skace. an' you can't take no chances," he remarked, as he brushed off the ash and blew away the sand and dust from the coveted stump. Going into the store, he said to the clerk: "Boss, gimme a match, please, sad." "Matches are not here to give away, but to sell," said the clerk. "Deb is eh?" "That's what they are." "Wejl, how much is dey a box?' "I nickel." The gammin' tilted the stump in one corner of his mouth, held to the band of his pantaloons with one hand, ran the other in his pocket and pulled forth a nickel. "Gimme a box," and he laid down the nickel. ' He got the box. struck a match, lit the stump so well that it poured forth volumes of smoke, and then handing the box back to the clerk, assumed' a look of intense severity, and said: "Put dat box on de sheff, and de nex' time a gemmen come in hyar and ax you for a 'match, you gin him one outen my box." , FIVE OFFICES ARE ABOLISHED.

IT WAS A GAME OF FREEZE-OUT. "Never Again" Presented at Academy of Music Lask Night. "Never Again" is correctly named. When you see It once you uever want to see it again. Certainly not under such circumstances as those at the Academy of Music last night It wee a game of freeze-out. There were perhaps half a hundred people present, and during the warmest part of the play the temperature of the hall probably got up as high as 40 degrees.-.- The man who would inveigle on au dience Into such a cold hall, and make not attempt to beat it, ought to be seat to the roads in the Klondike, where men are afraid to stop moving lest their Shadow freeze to the ground. As for the show itself, it was not no bad, when all the disadvantages it had to butt up against are considered. Sucb was the iclness of the atmosphere and the frigidity of the people who greeted the players that they (actors and people too) were excusable for anything they might have done. Under ordinary conditions it is a good company and had it been properly ad vertised it would hare had a good house last night They say the Academy of Musle will now close for the season. It ought to. have closed yesterday, then last night's little game of "freeze-out" would never have been played. DAVIS-PORTER. Yesterday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock Mr. F. H. Davis, of Salisbury, and Miss Mary G. Porter, of this city, were united In marriage at the home ot Mr. John Porter, the bride's father. The cere mony was performed by Rev. T. H.

The following letter was read before the Associat.ou: Chapel Hill, N. C, Dec. 27. Prof. Hugh Jiursou, President Associa tion o Academies: My Dear Mr. Morson: I bad hoped that it illicit be my guod fortuue to lie in Kuleigh during the session of your as sociation, in order that 1 might, at least. meet bo goodly u number of men proai- incnt in secondary education, and so many of them my friends. 1 fear tuis may not be possible, ami I am unwiliiag that the' -occasion 'should -go by without, a fraternal word from me. While 1 am a staunch friend of all forms of public education, and a believer in the r.gat and duly of the Slate to maintain a:i l strengthen its educational -system I mi none the less a staunch friend of the Academies and Secondary Schools. They luiiUk'd cur civilization in the past. Thr'y have kept alive the love of liberal learn ing unpromising times. The brave men, the Wilsons, Cnldwells, Horners, Biug liams, Graves, who gave their live to the cause have furnished examples of heroic effort to all succeeding times. They are no less active and vital to day in the face of present problems. If there be any antagonism between these great agencies and the colleges and the University let them be removed tem perately and in the spirit of wisdom. Any irrational relation between the parts of the great whole is confusion and fol ly. For the whole system is one and inseparable.. I stand ready to do all in my power to promote the purposes of your organization which I assume to be the just expansion and increased use fulness of the academies and secondary schools of North Carolina. With ' my high personal esteem, I am, Very sincerely yours, EDWIN A. ALDERMAN. The membership has increased to 70, representing 45j private schools. The following resolution Introduced by Prof. R. L, Madison, of Tainter: Resolved, That the thanks of this as sociation be rendered to the railroads for reduced rates; to the hotels of Raleigh for special term; to the press of the city and State for kindly mention of our pro ceedings, and to the local lodge of the Knight of Pythias for the use of its ball.

TieiiKiw Meeting Called to Order in Greensboro PROF. HOWELL'S TALK PROMINENT EDUCATORS FROM MANY TOWNS ARE PRESENT Su.pt. Howell of Raleigh Delivers an In- , 'V. tcresting Talk on Why Geography and History Should be TaugbJ. Special to The Times. Greensboro, N. C, Dec. 20. The School buperiuteudcuts are. here in luil force and ure. a jolly set of nun while on vacation. Many arrived yesterday morning and others came in on the afternoou truin from the east. Lust night at 7:30 o'clock the associa tion's second annual session was con vened with Prof. D. Matt Thompson, the president, in the chair. j The greater part of the session was consumed by the address of welcome by Superintendent Griuisley, of this city, and by responses by eastern and western members. ..'.-. ' This morning the following had arriv ed and were present at the meeting in Lindscy Street School. Prof. D. Matt Thompson, of States ville; Prof. Graham, of Charlotte; Prof. Bliar, of Winston-Salem; Prof. Lewis, of Concord; Prof. Crowell.of High Point; Prof. Sharpe, of Goldshoro; Prof. Man gum, of Wilson; Prof. M. C. S. Noble, of Wilmington; Prof. Logan D. Howell, of Raleigh; Prof. Flowers, of Durham, and others. At the session this morning Prof. Logan Howell, of the Raleigh Graded Schools and PTof. Claxton, of the State Normal, made a Teport with reference to the North Carolina Journal of Educa tion, which is in a prosperous condition and reports ehow the journal to be doing the work prescribed. Late In the mornitig session Prof. Howell, of Raleigh, read an interesting and valuable paper on "Why Geography and History of North Carolina should be taught in our Public Schools and How to Teach Them." Tho auMeet is not treated from a sen timental standpoint but from the peda gogical point of view. NOT A QUESTION OF SENTIMENT. In this introduction Prof. Howell said: Aside from sentiment of patriotism, there are pedagogical reasons why the study of geography aud history in our schools should begin with North Caro lina. It is simply because North Caro lina, is the home of the children we teach. . fMlTT.TYS KNOWLEDGE OF THE WOULD. . : A cllildS Knowieuge ui iw owu gins wan wiiai ue can k i I number of years lie uciiecs me t. n 'liimiii liv tlie norizou. .on u.u j we in teaching ignore this fancy of llicj ...

That is ileternriu'd by. thei contents of the mind of tiv ;l)egmii'r. And it is a fact of his experience mai the earth is generally flat, with some slopes in places, and more or lem lnl.s, according to where each child lives. IMPOSSIBILITIES EXPECTED OF CHILDREN. To begin the teaching of geography with a globe, taxes the ch id immediate ly awav from nil his experience, and is the most violent sort of arbitrary in structing by authority Instead of by reason. To use of flat maps representing large portions of a sphere is worse, for in addition to being nn outrage upon the child's reason, it requires an impos sible effort of imagination for a begin ner to think of two circles as being op posite sides of a sphere, or to under stand at nil a Mercator's projection. USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. Much Irrational teaching has got into our schools through a desire on our part of giving children the greatest possible amount of useful knowledge during the short while they are with us. Wo for get that knowledge can not be Imparted to children, but is built up by experi ence. We teach children to repeat words, and to point out lines and dots on maps and think we are educating them In useful knowledge. But it is not ths business of schools to finish the educa tion ot children. Education Is a life long business, and school life to only a part of it The purpose of our teaching should be not only the acquisition of use ful knowledge, but the acquisition of good mental habits, and the love of learn ing. The most useful knowledge our pupils can acquire under us Is the knowl edge of how to study. START CHILDREN BIGHT. In teaching geography then, let us teach whatever we have time to teach of it In accordance with the principles we orofeas to believe, so that it any children do not complete our courseJ they will go from us with a good founda tion to build upon, that will stand them fr better stend than a lot of tinrelnted items of information about a world of which they have no proper conception. LEARN HOME FIRST. The beginner In geography should learn first the country he Is familiar with. This may seem a paradox. But a child under the guidance of a teacher will learn much about his familiar haunts that he hitherto escaped his no tice. , He baa never thought ot Its drainage, mmm borliood. Ol course lie has no idea of. mean annua temperature, or tlie.uusus ureincut ot" rainfall. If the 'clind l.y. in town, he' nas viry vague noliuiis of. what the t aimers in his loc.'riiiy are e:i-; gaged in. and be does not know the: chb4 busiju-Vws of his own tu.vn. His idea of government is typified in the policeman. A FuUMlATION FOR I'M AG IN A-! '11 ON. . j Now,, before trying to teach the child the- whole-world -through his imag. na tion, is it not necessary lor him to form dofinile ideas about the tilings lie 'can see, and investigate for hiinsell "'. A course in 'geography should -lii'gin with a child's experience, and build up on that. AVIIEN TO BEtJIN MAP STUDY. Map study 'is not the sum total of geography. But a knowledge of the uo of maps is necessary for its piicccssfiil study, and the time .conies when map.sj mini in: I II ( 1 uu til vi i. .iiiiii. 11 1 (. however, the first thing to be studied. ! Tiey come after a good I'eil cf geography has been learned. They represent the country some man has studied. HOW THE STATE IS TAUGHT. In the same way the State of North Carolina :s studied. The counties bor dering on Wake are taken first. The railroad lines from Raleiffh are travelled over, and the towns and country along them studied. Always the experience of children is appealed to. Before study ing any place, the children that have ever been there, are called upon to tell how they got there, what the town or country looks like, and. 'anything .that may have struck them. Everything is taught in its relation to Raleigh, what we get from there, or send there in the way of trade, and whatever may be of special interest there to us. There is constant comparison, whether the coun try looks like that around Raleigh, or wherein it differs, how occupations at the places differ from ours, and what causes the difference. , THE ADVANTAGE OF A STATE LIKE NORTH CAROLINA. North Carolinn, extendi from the ocean to the mountains, furnishes every sort of type of land and water for- geo graphy teaching except a desert and an active volcano. Though there is an ex tinct volcano near Chajiel Hill, and little imagination is required to magnify portions of our sandy seashore into a desert TEACH LIVE TOPICS. We are all trying now to tench every oners, went back yesterday and found it subject by topics rather than menwritcr He dropped it in the edge of the woods, from a book.

Such study is more rml to child, and to teacher than skipping all over the world for types, which, when learned us such, are unrelated to anything else. GEOGRAPHICAL'..

MORAL VALUE OF NORTH CARO LINA HISTORY. Besides, there ore event and charac ters in the history of North Carolina ns valuiili.' for moral instruction to children ns any in the history-of Greece, Rome, England or Massachusetts. Let the history offered to children be intieres-'tiug by all means. Because I advoetae the teaching of North Caro lina history I do not mean it should be done without judicious, sympathetic se lection of subjects by tho teacher. What is more interesting to children than the story of Raleigh's attempts nt settle ment and the Lost Colony, Blackhead? There is a nobler lesson taught In the resistance to the stamp act on the Cape Fear than by the Boston Tea Party. The Regulators that fell at Alamance were not inferior to the patriots that stood ot Lexington. The Mecklenburg Declartion has nothing to equal It in Colonial history, and Bunker Hill pales In the glory of King's Mountain. LET TEACHERS BEGIN TO STUDY TUB STATE. If eur teeners do not know this, all the more reason why they should begin now to learn it Begin with local geo graphy and local history; they by na tural degrees add on the geography and history of the State. Material for such kind of history teaching is already at hand in recent books, pamphlets, and magazines. It can be secured at small cost by teachings that want it WHY GOOD RESULTS WILL FOL LOW. ... Such teaching will bring good results, because it is natural, being based upon the childs' observation, and dealing first with things present and visible; and is therefore interesting and becomes not lumber in his memory, but a part of making mental equipment, and inter woven in his character. OUR SERVICE TO THE STATE.
