SPECIAL NOTICE.
This number of The Advance is
sent to a few persons who are not
subscribers, but who, as we hope,
would like to read it; any one of
them, who may so uesire. can have
it by notifying us thereof, by pos
tal card or otherwise, and pay for
it when convenient, and for three
months, or longer, as each may
prefer. To ministers of the gospel,
profesional teachers in schools and
in academies, professors and pre
sidents of colleges and universi
ties, and all presiding officers of
agricultural clubs and farmer's
grangers, we will send it for One
Dollar a year. This pays us no
profit; but we are anxious to have
them read it, and all who approve
our purposes give us such encour
agement as they may think we
deserve.
CHURCH TRIAL.
On the first page of this paper
will be found a lecture on the
Divinity and Humanity of Jesus
Christ. For the sentiments ex
pressed in that, our Senior Editor
is to be tried under a charge of
Heresy, on Friday, (hangman’s
day), next. The charge is based
upon what is said on that subject
in his book, entitled “War in
Heaven,” page 295.
That book can be found at J. J.
& S. P. Richard’s book store, At
lanta, or J. W. Burke <fc Co., Ma
con, Ga. Attention is called to
the last clause of the last sentence
on that page, as peculiarly appli
cable to the case now up for trial.
The work is an argument to prove
the pre-existence of the human
soul, and the remarks objected to
are only incidental.
CHRISTIAN UNITY.
Ours is not the utopian idea of
attempting to bring all Christians
into one church. So far from that,
we desire to see no more churches,
nor other church, formed during
t.me; we have too many now, by
all hut one, and that one we have
shall have destroyed all “ the
works of the devil.”
It is our purpose, to the utmost
of our ability, to induce a better
state of feeling—more love and
less rivalry, not to say bitterness,
or even hatred—between Chris
tians of every name and shade of
faith.
We are all divided into two
classes, and belong to one of two
armies in this life; there is no
neutral, or middle ground here.
“In union there is strength.”
& tan's hosts are united and well
disciplined, and we who profess
to have enlisted under the banner
of Christ, should constitute but
one body of faithful and affec
tion, yet brave soldiers of the
Cross.
Our plan is to encourage all
Christians to read and study the
Sacred Scriptures carefully and
prayerfully, to find out the way
of truth and path of duty -to let
their Church Creeds live and
molder on their shelves—to talk
mote about Christ and his love for
us, and the glories of the world to
come, and less of the vexed ques
tions concerning which we do not
and cannot agreed—to attend fre
quently public worship in other
churches than their own—to up
hold the hands of all ministers,
who appear to bo honest and ear
nest advocates of the groat tenets
of our holy religion—and yet let
nil discharge faithfully their re
spective duties to the several
churches in which they have their
membership.
The above is but an imperfect
synopsis of our plans and pur
poses, as the religious feature of
The Advance, and we hope, tho'
brief, it will be found sufficiently
explicit, when read in connection
with our prospectus, to enable all
ta farm correct views as to our
aims.
And we solicit the patronage
and encourage of all w ho approve
our policy. Editors with whom
we exchange can confer a special
favor by calling altcntimi to this
article.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
ITS IMMEDIATE RESULTS HAVE PROVED
PERNICIOUS TO THE EDUCATIONAL
INTERESTS OF THE STATE.
Upon the enactment of the
Common School Law of Georgia
tiie people, at once relaxed their
individual efforts in behalf of the
education of their children. The
Common School System was with
the masses synonymous with a
system of Free Schools. Believ
ing their children would be edu
cated without expense to them,
they at once committed them
selves to an abject dependence
upon the proffered State help.
They could not be induced by any
argument that they should aid the
establishment of independent
schools, nor would they incur the
least expense in patronizing I hem.
Among this class too were found
men of ample means to educate
all their children, but they argued
that since they had to pay taxes
to support schools they them
selves would have to patronize
them. This was an argument for
the saving of dollars, but it did
not in this instance conduce to
the education of their children.
The system was so complicated
and so widely misunderstood that
it could not be put into success
ful operation even for three
months, and when the citizens
learned this, they felt they were
deceived. Children who would
have been in school the entire
year, were thus kept in schools of
inferior grade only three months,
and the independent schools that
were flourishing upon the enact
ment of the law, lost their pat
ronage because the people ex
pected schools everywhere, and
without cost.
In addition to this hurtful de
moralization, the standard oi
scholarship was lowered by the
enactment of the ’.'ommon School
System. With the masses this
standard has always been too
low; but in the absence of high
authority for their low standard,
they would listen to arguments
in favor of a higher standard. But
when the great State of Georgia
proclaims a school system for
the education of the people, and
announce as its curriculum, spell
ing, reading, writing, arithmetic,
geography and Engligh grammar,
and as its scholastic term three
months, educators might as well
hush. These branches taught for
memoriter pedagogue is all suf
ficient. The massess of the people
want no more—will pay’ for no
more. Men say they want their
sons taught only the branches
prescribed by the great State of
Georgia, and then they can farm
during crop time and teach a
three-months public school alter
laying* by crop time. To do this
is the boys’ goal; more than this
is beyond their ambition—is
deemed by’ them useless. Just
this much knowledge is admitted,
by all competent to judge, to be
sufficient to send them into the
world deluded bigots—stumbling
blocks in the way of all true edu
cational progress. But more on
this point hereafter.
Concomitating this baneful in
fluence upon the masses was a
more baneful influence upon the
profession of teaching. We have
before remarked that this profes
sion, immediately following the
war, had received some of the
most valuable accessions. Besides
this, young men of the best fam
ilies and best intellects wtie as
piring for this honorable and pro
spectively paying profession, and
were educating themselves for it.
But the curriculum, term, and pay
of the great State of Georgia has
actually put a premium upon
j semi-illiterate teachers. Ineffici
ency wus and is at a premium.
The three-months term and the
■ State curriculum, and wages at
less than a dollar for the term, is
all the masses want. This forces
men of education to abandon the
profession or seek employment
elsewhere. It also welcomes to
• the school room men totally in
competent to teach. County-
Boards are compelle<L in many in
stances, to accept them or schools
go untaught, and yet these teach
ers, so called, have no fitness
whatever for the profession. But
more also of such teachers and
such education in the future dis
cussion of this subject.

AGAIN IN THE FIELD.
READY FOR THE NEW YEAR.
In this issue of the Advance we
present the advertisement of our
High School to our readers, who,
we believe, will pardon us for
adding the following remarks.
ORIGIN.
This institution was founded by
us three years ago. We have by
our own efforts and means sus
tained it during this period, which
has been pregnant with circum
stances adverse to the growth and
prosperity of independent schools.
While others, backed by trustees’
funds and influence, imitating our
enterprise,and copying our circu
lars, have pushed up their mush
rooms and have seen them die
away, we have struggled day and
night, relying solely upon our own
efforts and the good sense of the
people for ultimate success.
OUR OBJECT,
at the outset, was to thoroughly
test the possibility of making an
Educational Institution self-sus
taining We believed it could be
done; not by simply taking our
seat in the school room, with rod
in hand, and forcing pupils to load
their memories with meaningless
and useless phraseology, but by
untiring efforts in arousing pa
rents and children in the cause of
education, and by lifting the latter
into a consciousness of their own
inherent strength and imbuing
their minds with a love of knowl
edge, independence and mental
liberty. We qualified ourself for
the profession, and entered it,
NOT AS A MAKE-SHIFT,
preparatory to the law, the medi
cine nor the ministry, but as
A WORK OF CHOICE —
one for the advancement of which
we were willing to devote the
morning of our manhood. It has
cost us time, energy and money,
but all have been freely’ spent.
THE PUBLIC APPRECIATION
ol our labor is fully attested by
the large patronage extended us.
We have gathered within our halls
the sons and daughters of our
most intelligent and best families
—have seen some of them pass
from our ciiarge and assume hon
orable positions in their respective
communities —others have enter
ed the colleges and universities
of their choice, and are there win
ning the respect and admiration
of their learned >acuities, while
many’ others are pursuing with
zeal their a Hotted
duties wilh us.
Such has been the reward of
our labor. We are proud of it —
prouder of our appreciative and
faithful patrons—and still prouder
of our many’ promising boys and
1 girls.
IF THE PUBLIC
would know what we teach, wo
cite them to the curriculum in an
other column; if they would know
our method of teaching, we cor
dially invite them into our recita
tion rooms to witness our opera
tions; if they would know our
disciplinary’ influence over our
school, let them talk with and
watch the young mon and ladies
who have been with us as long as
a session. We are willing to be
judged by the fruit of our labors.
This is a sure test. But
A NEW SCHOLASTIC YEAR
will soon be upon us. It is with
unfeigned pleasure we announce
to our friends that we welcome it
with all of its professional labors.
To us it is ominous with success
Already we are receiving assur
ances of an unprecedented pat
ronage. Providence permitting
we shall put forth the greatest
effort of our life in developing the
mental and moral wealth of our
dear sunny Georgia—in unfolding
the spantaneons self-hood of her
noble sons and daughters, and in
clothing them wilh Enlighten
ment, Liberty and Love. We
open our
NEXT REGULAR SESSION
on the first Monday in January.
We will admit at half rate for the
remainder of this term all students
who will attend the institution
next session. We will as hereto
fore advise and aid any young
man or lady as far as possible in
obtaining an education. We can
supply six good paying schools
with efficient teachers during next
year. We can procure for mer
chants eight competent, active
young clerks at reasonable wages.
GOOD BOARD
can be obtained with the best
families of Norcross.
We extend our sincere thanks
to our many’ patrons for their snp
port and influence. We hope to
give (hem better satisfaction if
possible another year. Let your
sous and daughters be with us at
or before the opening of the ses
sion.

MORE CAUTION IHAN COUR
AGE-AN INCIDENT.
On Sabbath week our Senior
editor was n a neighboring town,
when some of our friends, having
heard that he had recently’ deliv
ered a lecture on the “ Divinity
and Humanity ” of our Saviour,
expressed a desiie to hear it. We
assented, and requested the pas
tor of a church there to announce
such lecture, at the close of his
morning service, for 3 o’clock that
evening, and either in his or the
Baptist Church, as he might pre
fer. He, our cautious minister, re
plied, “I don’t want to get mixed
up with such questions,” and re
fused to give notice of the ap
pointment at either place. But
the best part of it was, as we
were informed the next morning,
he preached a sermon in his church
that night, on the same side of
that question. When those who
heard him then, shall have read
our lecture, as printed on the first
page of this paper, they’ can de
termine lor themselves, whether
he made a better argument than
they could have heard, on that
subject, although it might have
been in a different church.
It is due the pastor referred to,
however,(for he is a good preach
er), that we here state, that as we
afterwards heard, he obtained his
information of our views on that
important matter, through a late
truth-defying correspondent of
the Atlanta Herald. And as to
the personal discourtesy we make
no complaint, for we never heard
of such a thing before and may
not again.
The County Paper—The “little
county paper” is the best read pa
per in the world. No other con
tains tlie marriages and deaths, to
say nothing of divorces and births;
no other relates the accidents hap
pening before the doors of the
villagers ; no other gives the time
lor the next ball, picnic or politi
cal meeting; no other discusses
the affairs of the town and county,
the arrival of new goods on the
merchants’ counters, or of a new
hat on the editor’s desk. Without
a paper, a town„that has ever en
joyed one feels indeed lost. — Ex.
“Old Probs” has returned from
his wedding tour and again taken
charge of the weather.

<_?o- LCRiieation.
We believe in the co-education of the sexes; we limit their association ; they meet
only i i the recitation room, except in passing to and from the academy, and during the
suspension of regulations pertaining thereto. I heir association to this extent makes
them more attentive to p< rsonal appearance, and more lefined in speech. It gives boys
higher feelings of honor, for they dread the opinion of uirls who scoff at meanness,
littleness and profanity. It stimulates girls to greater mental effort, and makes teem
more capable of thinking forthemselves. It gives boys better ideas of true womanhood.
It gives girls better ideas of true manhood. It elevates both, morally and Intellectually.

Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher
of splendid attainments, having devoted
his entire time and energies to that busi

Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
From Gainesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873.
There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in order
that tire foundation for an education inay
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High School.
From the Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol
