lar Citixen of Chattooga County.
He Has a Bright F'wtuns
The subject of this sketch is
one of the most popular men and
best known citizens of this sec
tion of the state. He is a lead
ing attorney of Chattooga coun
ty, which county he has repre
sented for the past five years in I
the General Assembly ot Geor-'
gia. He is a candiriate for State
Senator from the .4.2nd district
and is practicailly sure of the
nominathm and election. His
conservatism and sound judg
ment were felt in the actions of
the last legislature and lie there ■
acquired the high respect of his
colleagues for lias carehil consid
eration of every subject and his
clear perception and a tfirmness
with which he dlung to that which
he believed to be right.

HON. WESLEY SHROPSHIRE: ;
nessee, in 1862. His grand-1
father was Hon. Weslev Shrop
shire. who represented Floyd as
sheriff in 1838, then as represen
tative and later as sheritfofChat
tooga, representative from Chat-1
tooga and state senator. He!
also represented Chattooga in !
the Constitutional Convention of;
1868. He died in the 94th vearj
on the place he settled in Chat-!
tooga-county fifty years before.)
He raised Wesley 7 Shropshire,
taking him to his home in Chat-'
tooga at the age of three years.
Mrs. Mary 7 Shropshire, a daiigh- I
ter, of Judge A. R. Wright, who)
for years has been a lead of■
the cause of education in this
city is the mother of the subject '
of this-sketch.
Wesley' Shropshire, junior,
may' well be proud of his ances-j
tors, combining the blood of two |
of Georgia’s most noted sons and .
strongest characters, but he
stands alone on his own merit
and asks the voters of the people
pointing only to his personal
record. At fifteen years of age,
he was compelled to quit school
when just ready to enter the
junior class. From then until
now he lias relied upon his own
achievments and his success has I
been striking. He entered the
legal arena at the Summerville 1
bar, which has given us such,
eminent lawyers as Judges John
W. Maddox and W. M. Henry.
1 le is now among the foremost of
the members of that bar. Twice
he was elected mayor of Stun- |
merville. receiving every vote
cast. He was elected to repre
sent Chattooga in the present I
legislature receiving a large ma
jority over his opponent who was
a most excellent man. lie has 1
always been an active supporter j
of old fashioned democracy, al-,
ways submitting his candidacy I
to primaries faithfully adhering
to the ] riuciple that a public
oflicer is a servant of’the people. !
He is a genial pleasant gentle-)
man with many friends all over
this section of the state and
wherever he is known.

not difficult to see why it was
done, when his splendid qualifi

into consideration. Mie possesses
a great amount of business talent

using to the continual growth
and prosperity of ! -his business.

DISCIPLINE.
The most essential requisite for the
success of a school is good discipline.
There are only a few minds with the
qualities required to influence and
control other minds. Only per‘-on s
with such requisites are successful
disciplinarians; only successful dis
ciplinarians are successful controlling
teachers. It would be hard to name
these necessary qualities but it is
easy to discern their presence or ab
sence in a teacher when we go into a
school room. They are natural en
dowments but can, to a limited ex
tent, he acquired.
The secret of a controlling disposi
tion lies in the union of firmness and
pleasantness. Show the pupils the
benefit and absolute necessity of order
in the school room, then require it to
b? kept. If no other means will keep
it use the rod wit h the freedom of one
who has read Solomon's advice:
“Spare the rod and spoil the child.”
Make the school room pleasant, espe
cially the recita'ion; tell anecdotes
and let the children laugh often
enough to feel tree and easy. Make
the children love you for your firm
ness, cheerfulness and for your inter
est in their joys and sorrows, successes
and failures.
I don’t believe in corpoial punish-

! ment, but know that it is necessary
sometimes and those rimes come oft
euer than it is used. Theteacher who
advocate the sole use of the ‘‘single
gold standard” of love is either just
out of a normal college, full of its
ideal system, or is needing some of
the material that he professes to give
to the children
Children that are controlled at
1 home and trained by cultured and
relined mothers, will need no punish-
I ment at school. But those who have
been “Torched up” instead of being
raised will soiueumes require the
lash. No one is more than 1 an advo
cater of the law of love, especially
toward the larger girls, but some
times the less pleasant law of duty
must be enforced.
A well disciplined school will con*
tinue mora than anything else to a
law abiding citizenship. Some ot the
schools of this section of the country
are sadly in need of better discipline.
The rising generation needs law and
order as winch as learning; there is a
growing tendency .to neglect it.
