The Norcross Advance.
Frix y, Octob r 10, 1873.
JAS. P. SIMMONS, /
JAS. U. VINCENT, j
Apodooetic.—The senior editor has been
attending Cobbßoperios Court this week,
and returned just as the Advance was
about ready for press. His reply to Ramb
ler was mailed at Marietta in due time, but
. has not yet iieen received. Keep quiet
till next week, friend R., and hope for the
best. Our correspondent “Union” is more
than welcome. He is postponed till next
week for the same reason,
Gov. Smith is clever. Knowing
that the teachers of eomroon
schools are rich and cannot take
care of their own money, he has
kindly deposited it in the Atlanta
Banks. No explanation from the
Governor is necessary,except that
the Atlanta bankers need the
money, and the teachers don’t.
Carried.—on the 16th; of Sep
tember, at the residence of Col.
Win. A. Teasley, Mr. B. F. Chris
ley to Miss Mollie Teasley, all of
Canton. We extend our heartiest
congratulations to the handsome,
energetic, and intelligent groom ;
and our best wishes to the beau
tiful, amiable, and accomplished
bride. She leans upon a strong
arm guided by a big brain; he
lias entwined about him the ten
der affections of a pure and no
ble hear*. Remember friend Doc:
“Man’s love is of life itse'f a thing apart,
Woman’s love is her whole existence.”
Success and happiness to both,
now and forever.
EG OTISmTnI EACIIERS.
THE DEITY IN PUPILS.
Os all men teachers are the
most egotistic and their egotism
is diametrically opposed to Edu
cation. Different teachers pos
sess this egotism in different de
grees. In the common peda
gogue it is the controlling personal
element. He labors with all his
might to make his pupils noth
ing but an echo of himself. He
suffers no originality in a pupil.
He works to produce an exact
image of himself—-to establish a
Western colony for himself in
the self hood of his pupils—
to make his own individuality
the branial ganglion—the spinal
marrow of each of his pupils.
He stamps his individaul seal
upon the plastic wax of his pu
pils self-hood, and his school be
comes a dead sea of loathsome
identity in which the faithful
image of himself is pronounced a
genius. By him the pupil that
clings to his personality and dares
to assert an independent thought
is pronounced incorrigible—lost
to persuasion and beyond refer
mation.
Now, the highest object of edu
cation is to develop the sponta
neity, the liberty, the divine in
the human, the majestic self
hood of the pupil. This is the
holiest thing touched by teachers.
It is the indwelling reality of
God in his pupil—the divine germ
of a noble manhood, and it is the
mission of the educator to quick
en tliis germ into life, to lift it
up into a conciousness of its own
strength, and to clothe it with
Enlightenment,Liberty,and Love.
If we would educate, instruct
and enlighten young men and
women we must always cultivate
their individuality and self-hood
—their inborn spontaneous deity
which shows itself in their walk,
sparkles in their eye, rings out in
their laughter, weeps io their sad
ness, struggles in their poverty,
and utters itself in their songs
and love and life.
A NSW ERA*DAWNING.
WK NEXT COWSFRRSS OK THIS UNITED
STATES AND SOUTHERN REPRtSEN
TATIVKS.
Hon. H. I*. Bell's' late visit to
onr town set us to thinking of our
next Congress, and the Georgia
acton in it—of Bell, Gordon, Ste
phens, and other representatives
of the world renowned Southern
aristocracy. It may sound disloy
al to say that the United States
government has demonstrated to
the world what it can do without
the influence of southern mind
In the councils of the nation, and
that it has shown what a shoddy
aristocracy of abstract wealth can
do *n the formation and support
of village and city caucirsses, of
State and national lobbies, of cor
poration and transportation ring*,
of gold, wheat, ami land rings.
It has shown how Ibis shoddy,
Yankee aristocracy tha, has con
trolled the nation e.ux be bought
and ensitrelled by their creature
—the aristocracy of rail road
kings and merrhant princes, of
stock jobbers and ■•I her moneyed
potentates. The cry “Down with
- the aristocracy” has been heeded.
That aristocracy of “high sense
of honor,” ot “chivalry,” of as
fine aa esprit de e&rpsw ever
graced the halls of the English
" Parliament has been ruled out
a and withdrawn from the Union
» for ten years. It has been stifled
8 and paralyzed and the South rep-
- repsented wor t carpet
t bagging bourgoisie, that ever dis
t graced the legislative halls of any
e nation. Instead of the formerly
B obnoxious Southern aristocracy
t which would not stoop to mean
ways and ’acts for the irrepressi
ble ,d°Har, and which stimulated
j “a high senlt of hoffoi” in the
i I humblest citizen of the nation —
; the government has been eon
? trolled by a stock-jobbing, trade
i spirited aristocracy which has for*
j ten years poisoned the life-blood
t of the nation with dishonesty and
‘ -venality,wreckless and deformed.
But reaction has taken place
South, and is taken place North.
The public sentiment ot intelli
• gent citizens throughout the na
' tion is that the change impera
-1 lively neeeded is a representation
I -of tbe oDd Southern aristocracy.
’ as it is called, in the exercise of
’ its best characteristics and most
’ potent influence. We want men
I in Congress imbued with the no
: ble and patriotic spirit that
' prompted Jefferson, Madison,
Pinkney, Calhoun, Clay, Benton,
and a host of others from the
■ South, who built up the organic
, structure of Che government and
crow ned it with unsurpassed glory.
Has not a new era dawned?
Shall we not expect Southern
chivalry and patriotism again
made illustrious by Bell, Gordon
and Stephens? Will not reason,
prompted by an incorruptible
honor and disinterested patriot
ism, again reign in the Congress
of the nation ? We hope it —w’e
believe it, but nous verrons.
UNIVERSITY PUBLISHING
COMPANY’S SERIES OF
TEXT BOOKS
Through the courtesy of the
University Publishing Company
we are in receipt of the primary
text books of the University Se
ries. We are pleased with those
received, especially so with Mau
ry’s Geographies. They arc com
prehensive, in style simple and
fascinating, and in “make-up”
scarcely equaled. Venable’s
arithmetic’s are good books, but
not so progressive tmd thorough
as Robinson’s. They however ex
actly meet the wants of a large
number of our common school
teachers whose knowledge of
arithmetic does not enable them
to comprehend the principles and
solve the far reaching problems
of the unsurpassable Robinson.
Prof. Holme’s readersjustly claim
one excellence. They contain no
sectional sentiment. They are
systematic in arrangement and
are finely pictured* Os Holme’s
grammers we have only this to
say. They are as g<»od as any ;
but we will just add that failures
in text-book making are not so
conspicious and perfect on any
subject as that of English Gram
mar. It seems impossible to find
an English grammar that will
bear the test of the school room.
The new books on this subject are
failures. They have been made
to suit the growth of American
language, which growtn consist
chiefly in grammarless idioms,
phrases and barbarisms; and in
their vain attempt they have mul
tiplied rules, observations and
exceptions and sub-exceptions
without end. These remarks
apply less to Holme's than to
many new grammars. Any wide
awake teacher can get satisfacto
tory results from Holme’s if he
will observe the rules liad down
for teaching ft. But the book .
of this series with winch we are
most pleased is “The Elements ;
‘ of General History by John P.|
Carter. A. M.” It is simply the
I thing needed. Teachers will do ;
i well to correspond with the Uni
' versify Publishing Co., Atlanta,
I Georgia.

RELIGIOUS.
PROF. AGASSIZ’S THEORY. **
Under the above head we gave,
last week, an article written by
Prof. Fiske commenting on Agas
siz's views of the theory that all
organic beings arc evolved into
being from natural causes. We
wish our readers to be informed
of all that is going on in the sci
entific world, as well as all ob
jcctions which are made to the
leading doctrine of Christianity.
This we deem important that the
friends of our holy religion may
know the true character of the
opjposition we have to meet; to
the end that we
ourselves as fast and as far as
possible and unite as one, and a&
a well organized and disciplined
* army to meet our common enemy
—infidelity.
From that article we would call
special attention to the following
remarks:
How contraryto commo®-sense
it is to say that a species is pro
duced, mol by the aci.un of blind
natural forces, but by an intelli
gent will! For, although this most
prominent of all facts sum to
be oftenest overlooked by theo
logians and others whom it most
especially concerns, Ae are all
the time, day by day and year
by year, in each and every event
of our lives, having experience
of the workings of that Divine
Power which, whether we attrib
ute to it “intelligent will” or not
is unquestionably the one ac
tive agent in all the dynamic
phenomena of Nature. Lit
tle as we know of the intrin
sic nature of this Omnipresent
Power, which, in our poor human
talk, we call God, we do at least
know, by daily and hourly expe
rience, what is the character of
I its working.
Now we ask all intelligent rea
ders : Is it “contrary to common
sense to say that a species is pro
duced not by the action of blind
natural forces, but by an intelli
gent will ?”
We insist that it is not. Yet so
write men who would lead the
public mind, and do lead many.
| Note his reverential (?) idea of
God.
There is a theory of our being
and of the purposes for which this
world was made, clearly taught
in the Bible, and which accords
fully with all the other great
truths revealed in that Book of
Books—in the Book of Nature and
with every fact known to physi
cal science.
If Prof. Agassiz and other
learned scientists would careful- '
ly examine the *ubject in this
view, he and they would find no
difficulty in reconciling every fact
known to science with all that
is taught in the sacred Scriptures.
So far from any conflict between
science and revelation it will be
found that they glide along to I
gether, as affectionate twin sis
tera, each ever charming the oth
er on their blithesome way adown
the stream of time.
That learned professor is repor
ted to have said in one of his lec
tures, “that he preferred the
theory which makes man out a
fallen angel to the theory which
makes him out an improved mon
key.”
Such investigation of the fallen
angel theory as a theological
question, as is due one of that
magnitude, Would very soon ena
ble him to answer the Darwinian
idea of evolution, and to sustain
also his views, as a scientist, of a
personal God. 8.
WHAT HAS THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
LAW OF GEORGIA ACCOMPLISHED I
In reply to our inquiry as to the bene
fits accruing to the people of Bartow coun
ty from the Public Schools, our esteem
ed contemporary, the Standard Express,
says:
We doubt if much good accretes to Bartow
or any other county from the present public
school system; and if ever to much is
realized by certain individuals, it is no
’ reason why the system should be perpetua
ted at the expense of the already overbur
dened tax-payers of the country. If any
• man who is able to work, wishes to edu-
I cate bis children, let him do so at his own
expense, for his offspring are tun the
. wards of the Slate. In case, however, it
can be made to appear that be is not
; aide to labor, then let him come in as a
beneficiary of the public fund, which
should be set apart for the benefit of such
pc sons, as well as for ail the indigent or
phans of the country. Sue t a policy, we
i t link, would be wise and generous, as well
as just; but we again pr dest against an
indiscriminate squandering of the public
! money to keep up a system which, to say
I the least, is of doubtful utility, even if it
were supported ty those who are sup
posed to receive • irectly its benefits. If
the people of the State desire a general sys
tem of education, let the poll-tax support it,
aud let that tax be iucreas«xl until a sufficient
amount shall be raised to ans*er the de
sired purpose- By this plan the burden
wool ’ rest equa ly upon all concerned, and
all would receive equal benefits from its
operati ns. We are glad that our worthy
contemporary, whose views we have cop
, ied above, baa spok m out upon this sub
ject, and we hope the question will be agi
tated until the necessary reform shall be
made by those having authority in the
matter.
I Os the principle and police upon which
the public school system is based, we hare
nothing now to aav, becatue we do not be
lieve the public ready to consider the re
in-dr ivsnU- of the ■•yrtem. It ri to it-
immediate results we now direct attention,
for if the public can see that its immediate
k results iare pernicious instead of beneficial,
they will at once be prepared to consider
what will be its remote lesults-
We have held since its first enactment,
that the PuNic School Law would prove
inefficient, ; but we did not then think it
, would prove so detrimental to the educa
tional interests of the State. It bears evi
dence of- its inefficiency upon its face,
w hich is manifest to every thinking mind
acquainted with the genius and wantsof the
people of our rural districts. It sadly lacks
adaption to the end in view. It Las in
ternal evidence that it was partly culled
from public school laws of certain thickly
.settled New England cities, and
that this culling and arranging was done
by lawyers, college professors and city
school-marms, and not by the practical
educators and farmers of the rural dis
tricts —not by the men who knew the wants
of our hocwst masses as well as the means
by which to effect tine purpose in view.
Indeed it tears evidence, whether truth
fully or not, that the men who drafted it
had an eye only to the condition of cities
and to the multiplication of State offices.
It is, however, unnecessary now to dis
cuss the merits of the law, per se. We
ask the Tires? and citizens of Georgia wh >t
results have accrued from its twice attemp
ted operation ? What has it done pro bono
publico as well as pro mali publico? Has
:it not diminished the number of first class
independent schools ? Have not many of
our best educators been forced to abandon
the profession or else the leave State! Fas
it not put a premium upon illiterate, half
qualified (so-called) teachers, and a dis
count upon thoroughly competent educa
tors ? Has it not lowered the standard of
scholarship in the profession ? Has it not
imposed upon and decieved the poor and
ignorant class it was specially intended to
benefit ? Has it not made neighborhoods,
self-reliant without the system, dejiendent
under the system upon incompetent old
fogy pedagogues? Has it not, judging
from its Immediate results, thus far proved
a failure failure ?
Some of these questions have before been
asked in these columns. We are deter
minetl to have them answered, and, that
too, by men whose business it is to answer
them. Politicians need no longer whi-per
in our ear “give it a trial;” we have tried
it, and tried it too at an enormous expen
diture ■of public funds. It must now stand
or fall upotf its own merits. It has fooled
and disgusted our honest, toiling tax-pay
ers, and he who hopes to achieve popu
larity by advocating its continuance under
the present regime, mistakes the popular
pulse.
We intend to show first, that the imme
diate good for which the system was advo
cated has not been realized; second, that
its immediate results have been evil instead
of good, and third, that its remote results
will prove pernicious to the educational in
terests of the btatf*, and hence pernicious
to the public good.

THE ADVANCE
Is designed to promote all the great
interests of our readers especially, and ot
our country and race generally.
To do that we promise to give them each
week the most important news, both
Foreign and Domestic ; the Market Re
ports and Atlanta Prices Current; the
Legal Sales of Gwinnett and a few other
counties, and such Literary, Political,
Agricultural and Religious reading mat
ter as wo may from time to time think
most interesting and profitable.
In Politics the ADVANCE must be
Democratic, to be honest, as we are both
Democrats in principle ; but it will not be
partisan, nor do injustice to any party, or
individual, knowingly. And, as we hon
estly believe, that the first and chief care
of all Christians should be to defend our
holy religion against the wiles of Satan
hit hosts and tbelr arms, we discharge
this sacred duty, as best we , under
the guidance of Him who is able to direc
and keep us in the way of trutn.
We will also studiously avoid giving
cause of offense to any professed Chrlstia
on account of difference of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
build up any one branch of the Church
t ’ more than others, nor to injure any one ot
I them.
