MR. D. M. HILLIARD. PRINCIPAL TI-tE PFQIIXICIPAIJS MESSAGE The message from Humes to the Seniors this year is presented by one who labored in the Memphis City Schools almost seventy years ago. "The history of the past holds up to our view, if we will count through all ages, a multitude of the truly great. All of these have arisen through one single path, the only path. ln this path lie self-culture, self-support and love of right, knowledge, and mental action. These things with all other kinds of culture are developed within, they spring from a fountain whose source is within the temple of the soul, made inaccessible to all direct external power, in the child and man alike. The mental structure called education that is to be erected in this secluded place is a life work. lt will be beautiful or ugly, lofty or insignificant, strong or weak, solely according to the character and perseverance of the voluntary effort of the individual soul that dwells therein. Neither love nor pity can directly raise one straw or move a dust of the balance to aid. All that the teachers can do is to stand Without and with wise words and pure example guide and encourage. The Creator Himself encroaches not upon the sacred precincts. However much, therefore of labor and skill may be demanded in the life of the teacher, all may be reduced to two single objects or aims: - First, to present to the pupil proper and adequate inducements, and second, to present proper and sufficient guides to mental action. There can scarcely be a more self-evident proposition to the human mind than that the pupil should be so instructed that he will need less and less of these exterior inducements and guards as he advances and become more and more self-sustaining until at length throughout the work of God and man, without a special teacher, the soul alone shall find sufficient guides, The work of the teacher should gradually cease, but the building within should go on forever." By AARON PICKETT Sup't of Memphis City Schools 1874-1877
