DRÜ3IM0ND LE0TÜRE

A LARCE AUDIENCE WELL ENTERTAINED. A Primary Datyofthe Teacher I to Iir' A inl.il ion In 1 lie Child TtMhn MniM Know Heart M Well M Bookl -Speaker Advocate the Calculating Library Charles P. Drummond addressed a larpe and attentive audience at the Me'hodist church Wednesday evening on the "delation of Teachers to Good Citizenship." Mr. Drammond has never been a school teacher but judging from his expressions regarding the duty of the teacher to the lit1 ie boys and girls, it is evident that he has feeling and sympathy suHicient to divide up ammg the Marshall county teachers abundantly a id then have some left. Never having been a school teacher, he was of the opinion that he would not resort to the customary rigid rules fur discipline that he would talk to the boys, inspire ambition and place them on their honor. This is good theory but those who have taught school (and the writer is one that has had experience i do not believe that it can ir. very many instances be relied upon in practice. However, it was good theory and ideals are what are generally expected of lecturers as well as institute instructors. Mr. Drummond is not of the opinion that the best educated man or woman is always the best teacher, and he is right. The teacher must know hearts as weli as books. She must tell the child that he will be a power when he becomes a man. She must cause him to believe that he can achieve great things, and he will achieve them. As a man thinketh, to a man is. She must inspire self contidence, self reliance, for these are the foundations of character. These teachings should come from the mother and father as well as the teacher. Boys must have high ideals. Napoleon was ambitious to be a Hannibal; i rant was wont to I f a Xopoleoo; Dewey aspired to be a Farragut. All great men have had high ideals. It is the duty, thought the speaker, that the teacher should awaken such ambitions in the pupils in their charge. Mr. Drummond does not believe in putting children in straight jackets to keep them out of mischief. His ideas on discipline found a discordant echo among some of the old timers. However, Mr. Drummond did not expect his lecture to settle once for all this matter upon which educators have been at variance for decades. Like a great deal of orthodoxy that comes as a rule from institute instructors and lecturers, a proper amount of saltz is to be swallowed with it. Mr. Drummond closed his lecture by making a strong appeal to the teachers to advocate the circulating library question, lie believed in a law to this effect and it should be sustained at public expense. The led ure was interesting through out, the ideas being clothed in choice rhetoric that held an unrivaled atten tion. Dvatli of Miss Bntha KuhIi. Bertha Hush, the grand daughter of Jacob Gottschalk, died Mc nday at her home near Bourbon. The fatal malady was consumption. Deceased was nineteen years of age. Doth of her parents are dead. She leaves a brother and bister besides her grandfather and a large number of friends to mourn her loss. The funeral took place Wednesday at 1 a. m. in the Dunkard church. BuMWHy at Argot.
