T) hear the recitations of these boys and girls was truly an inspiration and recalled th" sen tiinent; Iew Strength will gather for the fray Aiid newei hopes will borrow And where the vanguard rests today Th rear shall halt tomorrow". As to county commencement we hope every school will be represented and every teacher fired with zeal to make it a red letter day tor the cause of popular education in Cleveland County. Everybody cant win; but all can be in parade and liavo some kind of an exhibit. A start must be made some where, and the wedge must be driven at some time. The success of all such en dea vol's depends largely on tact. 7'iil, and personality of the teacher. . As .very field of effort, v, e hall rpap in due season if w faint not. Real educations means improving he ld, heart and hands; and the promotion of citizenship Of course teachers are paid n.eagre salaries; but the way to get more is to prove you ate worth more. , .The merchant tlie mill man the railroad projector and builder; and even larmers often work by, faith and not by sight. . A teacher who merely Jraws h's breath and his salary, will never rise in the professian nor adorn his calling "f iSpise not the day of small things", ap plieable to teaching as will as to other fields of human endea vor. I have felt, at times, like Elijah when hiding from minions ofjezbel; but now then did recieve anau ranee that there were yet seven thousand who had not bowed the knee to Baal nor kissed his image. : As to moving Kings Mountin out of Cleveland county, such a proceeding would be manifestly unjust.
