*? Prof. 3. c. Matte.
Sickness at home prevented the
editor of this department from
attending the teacher*' institute
on the 8th and 9th innt., at Cald-
well, which he very much regrets.
The discussions on the subject
of «Government were certainly
calculated to help teachers over
the roughest part of their path.
It is an inspiration t" have will*
¡Ujf, earnest, obedieni students;
but the balky, indolent, insubor-
dinate ones are those who cut
the conscientious teacher to the
heart. The old way was: «Lick
bim and let hirfl go. The new
wav questions the advisability of
tuch a plan, fully recognising that
utility, although a part of each
meeting might with advantage be
devoted to theoretical pedagogy,
on general linen of thought, if
competent instructors are availa*
ble. At the close of each meet
ing every member present should
be required to present in writing
several definite notions which he
has gathered from the work of
the day, and one each of these
should be assigned to or chosen
by each member. This idea he
should apply in school work dur-
ing the next month and report at
the next meeting, briefly, on its
value, merits and defects; sug-
quiring otherwise. But in insti-
tutes made up of county teach-
ers, or of teachers from town and
county, it has always proved dif-
ficult to get all to supply them-
selves with a chosen text. This
plan also takes on more of regular
class recitation, a thing perhaps
objectionable in itself, but which
has a tendency to prevent the at-
tendance of the timid and less
proficient teachers, who are un-
willing to suffer direct compari-
son with the better prepared
ones. Oral work, rather than
written papers, should be the
usual practice, since it is more in
accord with everyday school prac-
tice, lends itself less readily to
mere theorizing, and is more pro-
vocative of fruitful discussion.
The institute ought to be a means
of pleasure as well as of profit,
and it does seem that it might at
least open and close with singing.
Perhaps it is allowable also to
give its members an occasional
taste of the superlative flavor be-
longing to home grown orators
and oratoresses; however, this is
a diet to be sparingly indulged in.
But beware of the grammar fiend
would atill aee then. The dia- rapidly multiply so we can build
tance to some of the visible bea-' more. It ian*t the laws of Texas
venly bodies is beyond computa-
tion and com prehension—so great
that light which could pass com-
pletely around the earth more
than seven times in a second,
would require years to pass over
it.—Farm and Ranch.

Richmond Coaster.
Mr, Runge, of Galveston, has
been in New York for some time
and has concluded that eastern
capitalists are still afraid to in-
vest in Texas for fear of hostile
legislation, and he suggests that
our people cturn Texas loo? *.
In other words, in return for hav-
ing the capitalists come to Texas
and make a whole lot of money
for themselves and a little bit for
us, the people should turn Texas
over to their tender mercies to do
with as they pleased, which, no
wbicb retard industries in Texas.
It's the narrow-minded views ol
its people concerning tbeir own
interests. If the home people ex-
pect stangers to come here and
develop their opportunities for
tbem, they are mistaken, or if
they do come it will be for tbeir
own good entirely. If home peo-
ple are afraid that they will not
support their own enterprises,
they need not expect strangers
to have a higher opinion of tbeir
business sense and patriotism.
Let's build our own factories and
railroads; when we do, capital will
conclude Texas is a good place
to come to, and it will not be long
before it is making a scramble to
get some of the good things. The
Lord helps him who helps him-
self, and when we commence to
help ourselves, plenty of outside
help will come to our assistance.
