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. Three Irishmen, who had dug a ! ditch for four dollars, were quite i at a loss to know how to divide I the pay “equally.” But one of; the number had been to school. ; and reached division in the arith '• metic, so it was left to him. He I did it at once, saying; “It’s aisy I enough ! Sure, there’s two for i J you two. and two for me, too.” J The two received their portion ' with a greatly increased respect II for the advantages which learning i gives a man. —.. j Never be discouraged because I j giMMi things get on so slowly here; [■‘and never fail to do daily that I good which lie- next y«nr hand. 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. often - ends in wedded blister. Blackwood dares to assert that every mtn who is not a monster, a mathinetician, or a mad philoso pher, is a slave of some woman or other. There is a time for all thing , i The time to leave is when a young lady asks you what kind of a day it is for walking. “If George had not bioWed into the muzzle of his gun,” sighed a rural widow at the funeral of her husband, “he might have got plen ty of squirrels; it was such a good day for them. Pretty bad under foot to-day said one citizen to another, as theymetinthe street. Yes, but it’s fine overhead, responded the other. True enough, said the first, but very few are going that way. Truth and love are two of the most powerful things in the world; and when they both go together, they cannot easily be withstood. The golden beams of truth and the silken cords of love, twisted together, will draw men on with a sweet violence, wheth er they will or no. “Will you have some straw berries f” asked a lady of a guest. “Yes, madam, yes; I.eat slrAw berries with enthusiasm.” “Do you? Well, we haven’t any thing but cream and sugar for ’em this evening,” said the matter-of-fact hostess. 1 Strong drinks —whiskey, rum, gin, brandy—-go staggering up and down our street* like so I many assassins of society; they are wild beasts that prey upon mankind; they are pirates against . the human soul.—Ex.

He now informs the School Commissoner of Richmond county that he will be compelled to postpone send* • ing it, since Governor Smith has deposited it in the Atlanta banks, which banks now need the money. Os course the deluded and cheated school teachers do not need money. Let the banks have it, Governor. Bartow county lands are rising in value. There is enough iron in the mountains and valleys between Cartersville and Canton to dwarf the iron interest of all Pennsyl vania. A geological survey of Cherokee and Bartow counties, together with a map and graphic account of their physical charac teristics, would reveal to the world a min iature republic possessing a greater and richer combination of the elements of wealth than any equal portion of the globe.
