For the Advertiser.
To the Teachers of Xemalia
County.
; In entering upon the work of teach
ing for the winter term, let us enlist
as vetrans in the cause; let us put our
shoulder to tho wheel with a full de
termination that we will make our
mark ; and, as the preachers say, let
us have a "revival" in our avocation,
for we believe that we have need of
one.
In times of war it is said that the
soldier is abroad in the land ; we know
him by his dress or habiliments, and
he bears the Implements of warfare,
and wields the power of a soldier. So
let it be said of the teacher, that he is
abroad in the land and may be as red
ily detected by the vesture of knowl
edge, devotedness and intellectual ac
quirements. May he be clothed with
animation, vitality and qualifications
essential to efficiency in the cause of
education. May his weapon be knowl
edge, for knowledge is said to be pow
er, and in place of the saber, let him
carry, the primmer. The devoted
teacher fills a position high in charac
ter, although he may teach what is
termed "common school." Yet, these
have enlisted the energies of our best
men. These have colled forth the ap
proval and approbation of our philan-thropists
VOL. U. NO. 5.
Daniel Webster, in speaking of com
mon schools, said : "If I had us many
sons as old Priam, I would send them
all to the public school." . .
The common school teacher, a3 he
is called, moulds the yonthful wind
for future stability. , He prepares the
growing child to become the ruler of
the government, aud hence hU posi-.
tion i no sinecure, ' '
There arc teachers who teach merely
to satisfy the desire of their selfish
minds; but Nemaha county has no
need of any such. Ye advocate the
doctrine of good remuneration for val
uable service, but we waut a good
store house of knowledge to impart
from as an equivalent ; and we rejoice
to see talented men and women come
here from other States. It goes to
prove that Nemaha county U alive to
the cause of education.
We have editors who feel interested
in heralding the progress of the cause
of educrtion.
We believe that Nemaha county
stands equal to, if Dot ahead of any
other county In the State oA this all
important question. Let us unfurl to
the breeze our banner bearing aloft
the device, "Success or Death.'.': Let
the teacher start with renewed energy
and invigoration. Be courteousness
that he may enlist the hearty co-operation
of the parent who is abundant
ly able to fiiake his efforts a success.
Let him gain all the probable informa
tion in relation ,to the parents for
whom he has engaged to work. Let
him study their disposition, theirhab
its, their feelings, their prejudices und
their opinions, for these are highlj'
important to the teachers' success. Let
him be a friend to children in school
and out of school, at. home and abroad,
carefully studying tho characters,
habit3, dispositions and influences of
different pupils, that he may control
or govern with perfect ease. Let him
study them . systematically as the
faithful and discriminating physician
does his patients, to know what they
are, what they may become and what
ought to be done for them. As man
must experiment well if he desires to
give a correct prognosis ; and in short,
let him be a faithful, untiring, ever
working man and success will be
written upon every effort.

. Should Woman vote I
The question of Female Suffrage
should be one of expediency, and not
of "right." Many things are right
which are not expedient. Paul had a
right to eat meat ; but would not eat
it as long as the world stood ; "if meat
caused his brother to offend." Woman
has a right to don the male attire, and
plow the fields, and gather in the har
vests, and hew down the forests ; but
is it the better way for her ? . Is it ex
pedient? Now the question: Is it
expedient for woman to have a voice
to make any influence, in the form of
a vote in making laws to govern the
nations? This question is asked in all
due respect for those courageous wo
men who advocate "woman's rights"
so eloquently. They are doing a good
work. Ihey nave seen that some
thing Is wrong, somewhere in society,
and are trying to remedy it.
They are enthusiasts. Enthusiasm
is a good thiug; it is great jower ; it
is thesecret of successm every occilpa
tion,' in every calling in life. Not
much can be accomplished Without it
Extravagancies may grow out of it,
until-, they become encumbrances
Rut there are vital forces at work that
will throw them off. and the true work
of reformation will be effected. -
One of the talented and accomplish
ed Bishops fo the M. E. Church has
said a thorough temperance reforma
tion cannot be realized until women
vote. Thanks to the good Bishop for
expressing his appreciation of the mor
al influence of woman and much honor
is due to the metliodists as a people,
for the great help they have been in
the endeavor to place woman in her
proper position before the world.
Perhaps no organization has done
more that the methodists. Many have
done less. Yet there is room for the
question. Provided woman did use
her power in the. way of a vote in
making laws, would a temperance re
formation then be effected?
It is to Be feared thi3 earth would
not be immediately converted into a
Garden of Eden, even if woman did
rule. Or ii were it an Eden, Eve would
be there with the apple of temptation,
beguiling the men. It is true woman
has a right, and ought to call for a
redress of many grievances at the
hand of man.
I heard the celebrated Dr. Witing,
of New York, while lecturing on
Physiology and Hygiene, say .that the
wicked practice of wearing stays and
lacing the Ixjdy, was a source of greater
evils than the habit of drunkenness
in men. The evil practices in men
and women may differ, yet the evils
balence each other. BotU parties
should strive to avoid these evils, so
as not to suffer the terrible consequen
ces. It would be better if some of the
attention given to the developements
of the masculine character in woman,
were devoted to the developement of
the femenine elements of mind in man.
It has been said by a great author of
the present day, that "there is
much womanliness in the char
acter of Jesus." This is a beauti
ful thought and a true saj'ing
Jesus had tears for the mourner, deep
sympathy for the suffering pity and
kindness for the erring. Virtue was as
sacred to him as life itself, He scorned
indecent speech "guile" was not found
in his mouth. With wl-at teuderness
of affection he loved John and Lazer
eth, and Mary and Martha, his love
had the exquisite refiument and pro
found depth of a womans tenderness.
Men, as well a-s women should culti
vate delicacy of thought, courteous
manners and chaste words, should
blush at vulgar conversation and
avoid the scenes
ings. A great
beings are now
raond in the rousri
of impure reveal
mass of human
but the dia-
i m j n out j njt
lshing'up; refiument and culture.
A correct education, "and they shine
like stars in the heavens. Let, men
and women educate themselves into
an obedience to tbe laws which gov
ern 'them, and there will not be such
a loud call for "rights.
Let each woman stand firm iu her
position and officiate as priestcs in the
temple of "higher law3." Let her
perform faithfully the daies of daugh
ter, sister wife and mother, and it will
be better for her, better for the world
than if she filled the Presidential
chair, and made sieeches hi' Septate
Halls.
