TEs years have passed since the death
of Prof. C. R.' Coburn. Durin g that ten
yeiii's there have:been many changes in
the Tanks of thee teacher's profession in
our county but the following thoughts writ- •
ten:by him for the leachers' Annual, are
as true to-day as when first written: . li
'ghat an individual - should thoroughly
understand the subject with which he has
to deal, and all the material that has to '
be operated upon in his labors, is an axi
om, and as 'such, needs. not illustration.
A man 'would hardiy. be co&sidered„ sane
if he were to attempt to manufacture an
article out:of materials of which he is to
tally ignorant. .
The clergynny must understand The*
0 14 Y, andmusnow human nature -aS'it
is exhibited in its different phases and in •
different gradesfbf society ; must be' able •
by close observation to detect its out Wor
kings under all ci r cumstances; and biiire
paied thereby tinstruct and imps °retail
class
c-
The physiciat: is not allowed to pra
if
tice until, by ling study, Le has miade
himself familiar with the human Systilik,
the constituent • elements of its various
. • parts; how, iu their complex action, they
operate *in each Pther, and how this ac
tion affects each. lie must also acquaint
himself with the nature' of the almost in
finite varieties of medicine and how each
acts upon this completed machine when
in health, and 'What its effints are when
under the intluence of disease. The whole
initeria medica must be mastered by the
physician before he can receive a license
to practice . the - healing art among his fel-
lbw-men
Only by,years of close application and
diligent, patient search into lairs, ancient
and modern, codes of practice, cid and
f new, decisions of courts id all parts of the '
witrld and in all grades of civilization ; can
WC lawyer be prepared tolFradmitted to
thh bar to defend the rights of his fellow
being. And then, other long years must
. he spent hi attendance upon courts and .in
trying his skill and. learning in..cases of
tritlin4 importance, before great inti,rests
are committed to his trust.
The artificer in. wood, ' stone, iron,
brLs, silver or gold, must under - 14.111(th° ,
materials with which be is to construct,
as well as the article that is to be con
structed. If the civil engineer doo . not
know the strength and durability of the
materials which he puts to his structures,
taste in design, skill in construction, and
beauty in appearance, are of little
,value.
lle is but a bungling- workm in that has
urot i made himself familiar with the
strength, durability and value of the arti
cles wit'i which he %Corks, and their fit
ness Mid the adaptedness of each to its
particular place in the whole.
The agriculturist, too,. conducts his
farm far more successfully and with much
greater profit to•himself when he knowi
what are the constituent elements of the
~soils of Which his farm is com Posed and
5 . 4 the crops which be purposes to raise
from them.- Ire can the better adapt the
grains to the proper kinds of Soil, and the
best fertilizers to the soils and the crops
; that need them the most.
- To make apparent the necessity for
teachers to understand the science of the
mind, or Intellectual Philosophy, we need
but apply the axioms just (enunciated to
(the business ale:telling,. the building up
i of an active, 'lite - 411)g, restless, , thinking
i•being. If he who merely constructs lion m
, inanimate matter, ade ready to his
Druid„ and he who toils to draw the mate
rials'neeessary'for the sustenance' of ani
mal existence ; if these must understand,
even at the expense of long and tiresome
investigation, the nature of the materials
i used and their arrangements and nice ad
justments in the positions to be occupied
_ by each, how much more important is it
for the individual who is to develop, build
up, give shape and direction to ininun tat
ity, how much more important for him to
- understand. most perfect ly•rall that can
be knowu of mind and immortality. •
As far as the tardy ing jinaterial upon
whickthc teacher bills, transceuffs in im
port:MCC the value of wood, or stone, or
silver, of gold, or diamonds, so far does
the necessity for the instructor to be fa
miliar with mind and its workings exceed
the importance of the ;mile kind of know'-
. edge in the man in those 1115 tiriats.
Tito teacher has the • care of that part
'f man, call it what you may, which lives
and suffers, or enjoys 'forever, at a time
when it can be molded info almost any
form and qlected into almost any - diatit
rich Ilc can build it up a healthy, well
' developed, well-balanced, Well-diSciplined
mind, or he can so mold and direct its
forces and powers that it shall be a puny,

splime of its influence.
• With this view of the ppsition •and the
responsibilities of teachers, we eau' see
how important it is that they Understand

'it is . not contended that -m m does
know, or can know, the first emotions
that divelop in the Infantile mind; or
what are the first "thoughts that spring
up within him, Or how and in - what order.

this wonderful apptiatus, as* starts in

While this is firmly believed, it is not
asserted that Mind, from its incipiency,
is not controlled by fixed, intleiible laws
Such a doctrine would impeach the wis
• dom of onr Creator. The lowest order of
original matter, and the weightiest orb
that wheels its course through tlie:depths
of intinitespace, are alike governed by
laws as eternal as God himself, and shall

'As'_the jntellent expands with _ the
growth . 4:of the b9oly, the lavisby which its
action it goyenied become more and more
apparent, and, as its various faculties are
developed man can discern the laws of its
developmat,and growth and the proper
methods of presenting truth at the right
time, so, that all those faculties shall be
strengthened in due proportion and at the
proper age ; or, in other words, so that
the individual shall be properly educated;
hence the importance of having teachers
understand the laws of the mind in its
growth and development.
• Certain powersland faculties give evi
deuce of lye, and vigor, and a craving for.
mental food much earlier than others.
Some grow luxriattly, while others re
quire cultivation and tender nursing, and
some appear to be dormant instil aroused
by theikiliful teacher.. *
To knoW how-to bring Out and stn nlrTth
ere these varied forces at the paver time
and in the proper way, requires a knowl
edge that man does not hare by intuition.
He must obtain it by study, lar by en eri
cnce' or which, perhaps, is better, by
both. It is not assumed that a person of
tact and 'observation cannot, after years
.f experience, arrive at this know ledge
that no oue can be a prod teacher who
bas not 'studied Intel ectnal Philosophy
is it is in our books but it is claimed
with assurance that; if before this practi
cal experiene't, or along with' it, the laws
of mind are studied, the same proficiency
would be secured muck earlier and with
far less fatal mistakes—fatal to the intel
lectual, if not to mental well-being, of
those who are taught. Certiin depart..

: The following are my 'solutions to
two of the probh ins 'published in the RE
PORTER Maich 13th :
It :Proposed by T. T. West, Molloy';
Tynnessee : A squirrel is in the top of an
oak; SO feet high and six feet in diameter
at the ground. A sportsman, standing 25
yards from the tree, holds the breech of
his gun four feet from the' ground and
shoots the squirrel. How far bad the bul
let to go before it struck the squirrel,
provided the tree stood on a boripntal
plane?
Sultition—The sportsman stood 25 yards
(7:5 feet)-,-3 feet, the distance froM the
outside Of the tree to the center, or 78
feet from the center of the tree. 80 feet
r feet=76 feet, distance of squirrel
abori' the breech of the gun. Then we
have two shorter sidzs of a right angled
triangle 'to find the hypotenuse. Bence
the squartroot of (762 +78 2 )=108.9 feet.
- 2: Propt4ed by " Libra" : Kerosene is
bought at 40 cents a gallon, 10 per cent.
of is wasted. \p what price must it be
offered in order that the price may be dis
counted 10 per cent;\,,and yet 10 per cent.
be made on the investMent?
Bolution—lf 10 per ce'vt. or 1-10 would
•be made, irrespective Of,, waste or dis
count:4 the kerosene must hB,sold for $.40
X 1 1-10 Or $.44 per gallon. $.44 is a dis
count of 10 per cent, or s.t4 is 9, 7 10 of the
asking price. The asking price then must
be $.44 -: , 9-10,0r.5.4ti,8 9. But there is a
Waste of 10 per dent., then $.48 8-9 must
be the price of 9-10 of a gallon ; a whole
gallon then would be offered for $.48 8-9.,

most eleanline obsetyed. Nothing
is tainted quicker
. that mill by foul
odors, and surely at . times with near
ly all cows there is enough anitrial
odor to it, without adding any more.
SETTING
Strain :the milk slowly into , the
pans, iiiur to six inches deep.. It is
an excellent plan to strain the milk
into a large can set in cold water,
and cool down degress. before
putting into the small pans. The
milk must be set in a pure atmos
phere, at such a temperature as will
permit the cream to' rise in • from
thirty to 'thirty...six hour's after set
ting. In order to do that the room
should be kept about' CO to 67) de.

the cream pot in the , coolest part of

Churn often. as there is, nothing
gained by long keeping. Bring the

WORKING AND SALTING.
When it has "broken " and there
is a difficulty to make the. butter
gather, threw in- some cold water
and give a few more- turns: Some,
and — l think a majority, of the best
butter-makers of •to-day wash their
butter with cold water before-remov
ing from the .churn. `Gather your
butter with the paddle and lift it out
into the tray, press it gently and in
cline it, and let the butter-milk run
a 1... Work .it gently with the paddle,
with a cutting, gentle pressure, but
-not to mash it; or, better, put - into
the butter-worker. • • : .
Salt-it about an once to the pound,
or to the -taste of; - pod 'customers ;"
only With the best salt, and: free fro.o
lumps and coarseness. Work the
butter only so much •so' as to expel
the butter‘milk, but not
.to work it
too dry. This can :be done by the
use of a weak brine prepared for the .
purpose. Put. _ the, bowl away in a
cool place. After standing twelve
or twenty-four hours, gently press
out with a ladle or inachhie, the re
maining butter-milk, and . any brine
that will flog out With it, care being
used not'to work it too much.

To _PRESERVE BUTTER: To-threc
