Ono mine, Iho operation of which

now in the hands of ('has. Miller,
one of the original owners. Mr.

from the adjacent mines, it being

The Cabell mino is again reiwrlci

from that mine being milled at the
Monumental mill. ICvcrvono ia in

IIY I.II.UAN HOIIKKR.
Kducatinn means what ? I would
say a development of man's physi
cnl, mental and moral jiowcrs. I
know the common view of the ul-
j(ct is that it consists of it growth of
1 mental powers alone; in fact, every
man has his own idea of what im
, education is. in what it consists and
, what it embraces. And I, b-o.havo
my opinion at out it, which is, ns
nllovo uiven. a develnnnient of man's
physical, mental and moral powers
I would have it understood, thnt in
my view of the subject, I hold moral
development at the head of the c'i
itiax. though I may sx'nk more at
length of intellectual improvement.
1 consider that a man, if war ted in
; cither physical or mental powcra is
Itelter qualified lo Iw nf use lo him
elf, his fellow man and his country
than one whose life has been void of
moral influence or training.
This subject with its three great
branches in deep and broad, and
presents a wide range f thoughtful
consideration. It ii mv purpose on
this occasion to sjM'alt chiefly of
mental development, but let it not
le understood that I deem it Iho
most iinjHirtnnt culture.
That many intellects ore dwarfed
will doubtless meet no denial. The
cause of this is not altogether a want
of appreciation of education, for who
ever knew a parent that did not
wish his child to become an accom
plished scholar, or what one is not
proud of the child who has aoiuircd.
what is in his opinion, a good edu
cation? Or where is the child tol
found who does nut enjoy eulogy on
a parents mental accomplishments?
This admiration is not confined to
kindred relationship, for nil over the
world among civilized nations, it is
to be Focn that by literate ami illit
erate, the learned are admired and
honored. Neither can this deficien
cy in education le attributed to the
school system of our laud. Wo are
happy to know that our country is
a laud of education, of colleges and
schools of all grade, with doors ever
standing open, and soliciting all j
who may choose lo enter their sirl-
instruction there awaiting them. !
And instead of the nine colleges of:
Hcvolutionnry days, there are tit
present colleges and universities i
numbering well up into the hun- j
dreds, besides the vast numbers of
free schools, which have hen pro
vided every village and hamlet.
Over the wide plains and through
the mountainous districts tho pub
lic school, or some means of educa
tion has threaded its way intoevory
nook and corner of the laud that it
fit for human habitation. These
myriads of free schools thill we
Kieak of all over our land and coun
try aro preparatory steps lo the
higher institutions of education.
There should U a preparatory even
to tho common schools, this, In-ginning
in the family circle. If mine
were a voice of strength, ono to bo
heard on this great subject of edu
cation, I would first sjH-ak to the
parents, for there wo know thu l arb-u-it
training begins.
How ijiiickly the experienced
teacher will note in the child the
educational iniluenco received in its
home. Often a few encouraging
words of pruiso to the child, of its
own, and the teachers earnest efforts,
will establish a confidence and spur
the pupil lo Utter endeavors and
filially awaken mi ambition that
loads them on ami on. I feel sure
that any teacher will agree with me
that the narent is no tonall factor
in advancing or iiuiH'ding the tiro
r -. .1 I , ,
gross of education in their children.
So I would entreat them to work
harmoniously with the teacher, n
long as the teacher is putting forth
her liestelforts. I low often bildn n
aro kept, or permitted ljj-maiu at
home for some trivial c.W-, thu pa
rent Innocently Ignorant of the fact
that n few days absence is a cog off
of tlie principal wheel in our great
school machinery. The toucher
should not Im- considered alone re
siMinsiblo (as is often tho case) for
the slow progress of such children.
Nor is it always tin- fault of the
parent that the child does nut re
ceive a good education. Many na
rents devote much timo ami labor
to the education of their children,
givo them good instructions at home,
see that they are regular in their
attendance at school, and at the
prowr time make arrangement fur
(Item to enter college. Itut lite
obihl now, la-iug a young man or
woman and having formed aasocia
tlorn around liomc that It would 1
hart! for them to gifo wp, nml not
hnving milllcicnt tlrenetli of pur
pose to sacrifice lltrtso plonsiirw, he
hwes Mint of his lrw interests 1
far as to decline tho change. Hero
, no real Uneht to the mind.
I Tito oljct of education it to fit
j the pupil to do his work in tho world,
to j mcreasi' his coiieeplhiiiH, hrondeit
his views, and lead him to a higher
and nobler life than he could ever
attain to without it.
We judge of n man's education,
not by Uic nunilx r of years he 1ms
attended college, or languages he
has mastered, but by whal he is
capable of doing, nnd of the utility
of his wisdom, by what he is willing
to exert himself to do that will
benefit himself and the world. It
is not tho man who has read most
that is educated, but he who think.s
mosl. Thought is the intellectual
digestive organ, and every object in
nature furnishes It food. One
ihnught brings a numlier in i(s train
ami the more the human mind is
callable of gathering nnd uniting,
the stronger and more In auliful will
the chain of reason appear. The
properly cducati-d mind has la-en
fitly compared to the diamond,
which, turned in whatever direction,
Hashes forth light of various colors,
all exquisitely beautiful.
History tells us that il is they,
so to speak, who chew and digest
their mental Asm! who prove to Ik
tho strongest and bravest in the
battle of life.
Do your own thinking should in
some way le Imprinted on tho heart
of every pupil. Il was this that
gave to the world our greatest men,
such as Keph r, I lerehol, Webster,
Columbus. We may extend this
list of greal thinkers to our own
country, and mention Franklin,
Fulton, Morse, Washington, Jell'cr
son, Clay, none of which is a tinor
exumple of thought and considera
tion than the never tn lo forgotten
Lincoln, whose deeds will over stand
as a monument to his honor and
glorv.
That moral training is of equal or
more iuqiortaiico than mental or
physical will, I thiol;, meet with no
questioning. The Minple truthful
ness and tender conscientiousness
that render bo Ix uutiful iho lives of
the children, should never be lost
sight of. And educators should
lose no upjmrtuuity of jioiutiug out
lo them the lasting honors that hang
t over tho iiathway ol truth and vir
j lue. A licnd may rise in mental
j development and tuko the highest
' honors of a college, but hu will onlv
I be the more jniwc rful for evil, and I
the world would bo bettor oil if they
nan remained ignorant, l lto lives
of such men as Item-diet Arnold.
I Aaron Burr and others wo might
j mention who live today exerting a
i strong iHwor for evil, illustrate this
principle of mental without moral
culture. u item can vie lind ex-
f ''' riH-r eetmn than ash
ington and Lincoln, who received
the combination of mental, moral
and physical training from early
youth.
A few more words concerning thu
teacher and 1 am done. Tho teach
er is the sculptor and tho children
the rough stone in his hand. The
mines of India, Uracil and Africa
a fiord no gems so precious ns these
little ones, nl least in tho parent's
eye, though they are mil nil greal
Hoods of intellectual light. Teach
ers should Ik! conscientious enough
to feel the great rcsiHiusthility they
have assumed and avail themselves
of all the U-st aids sissilde in their
work of smoothing and io)ishiug the
precious gems confided to their care
that each turning may show bril
liancy of intelligence and virtue.
