His primary education was received at the fa mous Exeter School, New Hampshire. In i-Tihe graduated at the Fniversity of Tennessee. His Alma Mater three years later conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts. Mr. Moses was for four ye.ar.s Principal of the Hoys" High School, of Knoxviile.

Mr. Moses may reckon as one of the chief elements of success that he is not only an enthusiastic worker himself, but that he inspires his teachers with his own enthusiasm".

This is a compli ment most wotthily bestowed and we con gratulate the friends of education upon the selection. Prof. Alderman's accept ance of the position, with its increased responsibilities. will insure a wise and conscientious discharge of its duties.

The girl who knows she is a beauty plunges Ixjldiy in, and is generally seen head under water, with symmetrical in carnadine hosiery waving high above the waters blue. The Cape Fear girl, when she bathes at all, attitudinizes with half her slightly clad person out of water, looking for all the world like a merry mermaid. The girl from the mountains is timid and usually requires a pair of stout arms to hold her. If there is no gallant on hand to toss her through the breakers she hugs the rope. ihe nice Piedmont girls like to have somebody 'lloat" them and, held up by some stout, middle-aged deacon, will lie rigidly on top of the waves, with their lit tle noses and toesYMitof the water for a a quarter of an hour. . The sea shore girls swim and tumble like dolphins. The fashionable girl is very particular to have somebody nL-e" go in with her and is usually so exclusive that she won't even oat he m the s.ame ocean with any one not of her set. The troops of children with bare arms and legs, paddle and splash around the ocean fringe and then, held in their nurses' arms, after taking one good breaker, are carried yelling and kicking to the bath houses. The fat girl with a figure Ike a lifebuoy usually wears a suit like an ulster and tries to wait a chance when nobody is koking to hurry and scurry into the water. Tne young city bloods and sporting fel lows wait until after nine o'clock at night and then dash into t he billow s without any toggery whatever. This they tall a "buck bath."

The Object of Education Ousht to be to lUake Perfect DIcii aud W omen. Special Cor. State Chkonici.e. Raleioh, N. C, June 20, lt7. I am yet a young man, though old enough to remember and cherish the many virtues of our fathers of the "Old South." In fact. I am so fond of recurring to their sterling worth, their generous hospitality aud their love of honor, truth, courage and patriotism, that I am frequently styled, by my friends of the "New South," (who show their faith in progress and enterprise by their zealous words) as a "young fos sil;" and yet, I think, I am progressive. 1 recognize the fact that, in some things, we have progressed, are progressing ami that there is still room for progress. V ith iu less than twenty-five years I have, on cold, damp, wintry days, sat in an old held school-room, containing only one fire place and one small window, and warmed for forty pupils, only by a fire made of wet wood, picked up by the school boys. Occasionally these school-rooms were pre sided over by pure, noble and intellectual men anil women who performed their du ties well, and whose works do follow them, but frequently they were presided over by those whose minds were darker than the school-room, and whose hearts were colder than the lire made of wet sticks. At times we had Mr. Namby Pamby, who was selected, not because of his fitness for the work, but b( cause, I suppose, he sang "Old Hundred" through his nose and could not make a living at anything else. At other times we had Mr. Austerity, who was selected because of his tact for killing out, by brute force, the weeds which had grown up under Mr. N's. indolent admin istration. This was not only my experi ence, but was the experience of thousands of other children in this good old North State. Now my child, with a thousand other children, sits iu well warmed, well lighted anil well ventilated school-rooms, under the eagle eye of Prof. E. P. Moses, whose heart is warm, whose intellect is brilliant and whose soul is iu his work. When I contrast the two conditions, I cau but note our wonderful progress iu that line. And yet, is there not room for further progress ' To those who doubt, 1 commend the following extract from an address recently delivered by the retiring President, Prot. Isaac Lewis Peet, before the Medico-Legal Society of New York : "The problem of life involving the rela tions of the soul to the body the individ ualization of spirit, by its being introduced into certain forms of matter, and the cor rectness of the theory, that the brain is but an instrument upon which the spirit plays, as the musician touches the keys of the piano, and evokes harmony or dis cord, according as thy instrument is in perfect cr imperfect condition, is in pro cess of solution, and it is becoming more and more a serious question whether the old Latin adage "Mens sana iu corpore sano" should not give place to "mens saua quia corpus sanum." Let the brain be right; L't ;t respond healthfully to the touches of the spirit: let all the nerves that centre in it. aud, like telegraph wires, carry messages to aud fro, be in good working order; let the whole man be trained so that the ministering bud)' shall fully obey the behests of the soul, and, like a mettled steed, be neither too strong nor too weak for it, and the divine spirit reinforcing the human spirit; let the will power be developed and directed by a ju dicious course of training, applied from without or exercised from within; and man becomes God-like in serenity and in intel ligent and benevolent action. The neces sity of educating the body and the mind simultaneously is, therefore, apparent. In this view the whole system of public edu cation and athlectie training needs revi sion. The muscles should be develojied, but not unduly. The eye, the ear, the hand, the foot, should each have their appropriate exercise, not iu the direction of brute force, but of intelligent action. Nutrition should be made a itudy. Stimulants, like the spur and the whip, for which there is sel dom use, should be regulated to the rare use which emergencies require, and the will, the reasoning power, the memory, i lie imagination, would all be symmetri cally developed. Cramming, which is simply over-weighing or over-driving, should be scrupulously avoided, while on the contrary the thirst for knowledge should be stimulated, and free access to the Pyerian Spring, permittnl oniy under such ciicum.-tai.ces. For education to be complete, every teacher should, in addi tion to his professional training as a dia lectician, be a thorough physician, aud the degree of M. D. should be regarded as es sential, as the Regent's certificate of the degree of B. A. or B. S. To iiiake perfect men and women should be tlii' object of this Christian age and time; and insanity and idiocy, like small pox and cholera, should be stamped out. Let this roeiety rise to the dignity of ad vocating this heroic treatment, and in stead of palliating the evils incident to the times, and acquiescing in the necessity of multiplying lunatic asylums and idiotic asylums, insist that the community shall be raised to a higher level, and that health of body and soul shall be the rule. Such was the mission of the Great Phy sician, and the church of this age and time should realize this truth. Its priests and clergy should study the body as well as the soul, and should attain a superior dignity ty supplement iug t heir t heo logical course with one of medicine aud law. Tiiis combination of the three learned professions would give to our public teachers a power and influence greater even than that which they had when the masses were uneducated."' Messrs. Namby Pamby and Austerity were called teachers, so was Richard III called Goo's anointed. They are almost, if not quite, extinct. Let's bid them adieu, and bid God-speed to those teachers who are selected because of their training, be cause of their skill, because of their devo tion to this specialty, aud because of their ability to govern, not by brute force, but by brain-power, by love aud by kindness. J. W. T. PEUSON AI. AMI SOCIAL C. P.. Aycock, Esq., has been elected Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Wayne county, to succeed J. A. Bonitz, resigned. A North Carolina young lady, of Cataw ba, was awarded the first prize foi elemen tary drawing by the Women's Art Depart ment, of Cooper Union, New York. Mr. J no. E.

Mr. Ray's many friends will regret to have him leave the State. We are the recipients of a very unique invitation from the Chowan Baptist Fe male Institute, to attend the Commence ment Exercises, which occur June 28th and 2'Jih.

We are soon to have a book of poems from the pen of a North Carolina negro, James W. Poe, of Rockingham county. He is very well known as a politician, and now he proposes to make himself known as a poet. This volume will appear next autumn and we will wait to pronounce judgement on it. It is seldom that a community makes acknowledgement of the great service a public spirited citizen has rendered upon the occasion of his leaving to make his home elsewhere, as the people of Golds- boro have made to Mr. Julius A. Bonitz. Mr. Bonitz has moved the Goldsboro Mes senger to Wilmington, but in their regret at losing so valuable a citizen, the gener ous peopie of Goldsboro do not forget to express their high appreciation of Mr. Bonitz's labors among them. The County Commissioners, the Trustees of the Grad ed School, the Democratic Ex. Com., aud Lodges and Orders passed resolutions of regret at losing so useful a citizen. This is as creditable to the good people of Wayne aud Goldsboro. as it is complimentary to Mr. Bonitz. The Iai ri)ie Wells A-It instills. In Durham, on last Tuesday night. Mr. Edgar D.
