The Norcross Advance. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1873. JAS. P. SIMMONS,/ «... j JAS. U. VINCENT. ( bdlton - THE REMOTE RESULTS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. NUMBER TWO. A successful system of Public Schools is synon'mans with a com pu'sory system ot education. If it be tlw duly of a government to establish and support an elaborate system o’ free schools, it is also t’re dirty of the government to compel children to attend school. 'Hie entire argument in support of Puhi ic Schools may Fie sylvgized ; thus: Universal education only can guarantee Republic in insti tutions; but (owing to the pover ty of a large ignorant class) uni versal education cannot be dif fused except by governmental taxation in support of free schools;i and, (granting the establishment j of free schools) owing t<r the in j uifference of a large ignorant ■ ♦■lass, the people cannot be uni- I versally educated unless compel 1- ■ el to attend schoil; therefore a ■ system of compulsory education ; only can guarantee Republican ; institutions. This is the logical j conclusion *7’ we admit the first i premise. Now we ask what will be the ellect of a system of compulsory education on the part of the gov ermn -nt? Itdistinetly avows that the government of Georgia is a paternal government, whose duty is to care of its individual citizens in their private business— a doctrine, as before remarked, which is based upon the incapac ity of the people to take care of themselves. Tiis is the subslra turn principle on which the Impe rial goyoinmem, of France was founded, an 1 its adoption here will lead to the establishment of an empire as hostile to civil Lib erty as that of Napoleon 111. But, omitting at present its effects upon Republican governmonts, we inquire what will be its remote effects upon the people? This in valves a ditoussion of sociological phenomena, which it seems to us hive been entirely discarded by our doctrinaire politicians. The people, in their largest ag gregato capacity, cullet} State, exhibit phenomena which are the cumpjun led elects of causes al work am )ng the people in their less aggregate capacities, called communities or neighborhoods; and the phenom ma exhibited by communities are the compounded 1 effects of causes at work among ] tiie individual members coastitut iug the communities. If, then, we ran ascertain the eifects of a com pulsory system of education upon the individual members of a neighborhood, we can also ascer tain the effects of the same system upon communities or States. OUR TAXES. | “A column and i half of numbers of land lots are advertised to Ik* sold in Glynn nounty, on the first litosday In December next, for taxes. All the land in the county, it seems to be advertised for sale?’ We clip t ie above from one of our State exchanges of last week, and give it to our up-country renders, «ho re complaining of heavy taxation, and as some consolation to theme Ives. Things have not reached that pass with us yet, but that u sitWilar fate awaits us, in the future, is us certain as the I tiigh' of time, unless some inn -dy is found to check the enormous expenditure of our State government. I hat can not b? done without an amend ment of our Constitution. Those who im posed that abomination upon the people of Georgia had one ever prevailtug o ject be tore them; and which was to distribute the j property, or at least the profits of it, as equally as possible among all the people, and to b~* careful, in doing so. to sec to it that the free negroes should get the Sou’s i share. And if the government were admin is'ernl according to the true intent and m a ling of that instrument, the lands of the State to-day, except the amount ac tually cultivated and necessary for timber and pasturage, would be north less than nothing aa absolute c.\j»ense to their owners. It was, b-yoi.d question, the intention of the leading spirits in the Convention,which framed our praaent Mate Constitution, to confiscate the property of the white man, mid to transf t the income and profits aris ing therefrom to the negro and his children forever; les, rviag, of course, a liberal share for the scalawag and sable oftkv- U'Miier. The whole net tocoins from land routs of lhe State, outride of towns and cities, would not now pay the expenses of Use common school system provided for bv that inwrmu'mt, allowing nothing for the ludmarj and tv’cessary expenses of the Stale government. Ihe wlwle benefit of which, tn a larg- portion rs our State, would be realised Ly the little darkka, un less the while children would enter Un it seho h and ssaK'iatc with them on terms «>f perfect equality, as cuntempbi’cd and Rtrtrled by that hwulcv eyw. A STATE CONVENTION. I The necessity of amending our I Constitution in several respects is ' too well known to require argu- I ment. The long terms provided ! for the Governor, Judges and other officers should be reduced to the old rule; the provision for common schools should be striek ien out, and the whole subject of j public education referred back to the Legislature; the income from the State Road and other proper ty of the State should be applied to the payment of the public debt ' and the reduction of our taxes, j and other important amendments ' are necessary, looking to economy j in public expenditures. i All this is generally admitted, I but the difficulty is in agreeing as to how these amendments are o be made. The Legislature could do it,bu‘ that process is too slow and too uncertain. It could be done speedily, and done well by a Convention; but it is said that will cost the State i too much money. Some weeks since we submitted a plan which we feel perfectly ■ satisfied would, if adopted,obviate ■ all these objections. That was, in brief, for the Lcg- I islaturc. at its approaching session, to enact a law providing for a Constitutional Convention and for the submission of its action to a vote of the people for ratification or rejection—all to be done dur ing next year. And asking the services of our best informed citizens from all the counties,on motives of alone, by providing that delegates shall receive- no money for their sei vices. If this plan should be adopted by the Legislature, a body’ of men would assemble in the Capital of Georgia, as a State Convention, combining as much wisdom, expe rience and patriotism as the best United States Congress, ever as sembled, could boast Men would willingly respond to such call, who could not be in duced to offer themselves as can didates, if ten, twenty or fifty dol lars per day were offered for their services; men who never sought office, or who have uncondition ' rtZZy/retired from lhe conflicts of lhe political arena. Under such law “the office would seek the man”—sure enough and for (he first time in this age and country. The people of tfie sev eral counties would meet, and by resolution, ask their best men to represent them on an occasion so important. And if any of them should be too poor to pay their own expenses, their neighbors and friends would most cheerfully and promptly raise the funds neces sary by voluntary contribution, and notify such thereof, with the call. The election would be bu„ a matter of form, after such nom ination. And such Convention would, within less time than one week, put our Constitution in such ‘ shape that no sane man,who wants an office, would dare oppose its ; approval by the people. These are our well considered I opinions on this subject, and as such are offered to (he public. Il there is any well founded objec tion to this plan, for getting cut of the troubles which were brought on ns by that wicked Convention of 1868, we confess owr inability Io see it, and would feel thankful 1 to any ot our cotemporaries who would be k.n l enough to point it j out. FRITTS OF FREE SCHOOLS. Our politicians clamor for uni vernal education. Everything ' from a baboon up to the President ' must be educated. Everybody j seem* to concede that an intel lectual culture is the only guar antee of Republican institution?. School learning—book learning— is the watchword. All must be learned to read and write, or else the Republic is in danger! We lespecttully ask what connection is there between Reading and . \\ riting and Good Conduct f This is an age of education in the com mon acceptation of the term. Popular education is the idol of modern progressionist. Free schools are numerous throughout Cities and States, and they are multiplying. Have they improved , lhe morala- the honest y,the pride, I lhe virtue—of our nation ? The j reeonls of crime for the last ten years do not substantiate the idea. Embezelling and cheating, seduc ' tion and murder stalk the land in low and high circles—in day and at nighL XV ith the increase of tree schools, modern defaulters and }>oiished scoundrels have multiplied, and the meanness and iow tricks ot the thieves m olden time' ’ 'come trifle- (he coup de main of the gratuitously educated rogue of to-day. Would it not be well for our nation, in its hot haste for univer sal education, to pause and ascer tain whether teaching people to read teaches them to better their conduct? Whether an education gratuitously bestowed upon un worthy men will not become a curse instead of a blessing to Liberty ? Whether all worthy men will not, despite poverty, ob tain an education and with it wisdom also ? Free schools cannot develop great and good men. Such men make themselves. They will rise in spite of the world, and when arisen one such is worth to the nation thousands of the glibbed toungued. black hearted, shrewd scoundrels that are polished by free schools and sent out upon the world unprincipled and greedy for ill gotten lucre. There are two sides to most question, but none seem to think there are two sides to the much agitated question of Free Schools. CHANGES IN NOMP® EIM SCHOOL. I A NEW FACULTY. BRIGHT PROSPECTS. On last Friday we perfected ar rangements for the successful operation of Norcross High School for 1871. We desire to say to our : patrons and friencs that we were ! determined from the outset to j make important changes in the government and facilities of the institution. We have felt the want of a Faculty of a broader culture and larger experience, of a house with more comfortable rooms and more a'tractive grounds, and of appliances for the more successful teaching of the Fine Arts and the Natural Sciences. To secure those desiderata we have united with us Professor N. F. Cooledge, of 1 Dalton, Ga., in the capacity of ! President of the Faculty. He is j a gentleman of superior scholastic i attainments, is in the morning of his manhood, has matured expe rience in conducting Independent High Schools, and has the means to supply every appliance needed in the Institution. We have jointly agreed to buy the Academy building and grounds, j to improve and beautify both, and j to supply everything needed to ; make the par*pherntt+m th<- Institution equal to that of a vicll regulated colle-ge. The Curriculum and Expenses remain as heretofore, except that Tuition J-'ees are to he paid monthly. This change is d emed best for Teacher and Patron. From advertisement on inside ot this issue, it will be seen that we have resigned the Principalship to Prof. Cooledge and have accepted a professorship under him. This change puts the business manage ment of the Institution into the hands of Prof. Cooledge, and en ables us to devote our time to the advancement of pupils. The Discipline to be enforced in and out of school will be such as we jointly approve. In addition to what is above said of Prof. Cooledgc, we wish to in form our patrons and friends that he is coming to Norcioss with the view of making it his permanent home, and of making the High School his permanent business. He believes in independent schools -has a deep faith in the power of education —loves his work, and relies solely upon his own merits for success. Professor Pollard is a University graduate—is. an active, compe tent and efficient teacher. Mrs. J. H. Cooledge is an ac I complishc'd and affable lady—has I the knack of controlling children ■ and the tart of instructing them. We have had Mrs. K A. Norryce with us five months, and we sav i in truth she is the most efficient ’ teacher in her department ict have ever hnoten. Os the former Principal—the writer of this—the people already know.' He will be on hand, wide awake and impatient to work out the grand destiny awaiting Nor cross High School. On resigning the Principalship and business management of the Institution he extends to his many patrons his sincere thanks for their former patronage and busi ness courtesies. Their future pat > ronage we are now better pre pared to merit than ever before, and shall enter the Now Year with full assurance of giving them far greater satisfaction. The next regular session will ‘ open First Mondax in January. Hon. Sam. J. Winn will deliver the ih-t a idress of the -cries on Fou th Friday Evening of January. Read every won! of advertise ment mi the imhlr rs thk LOVE ONE ANOTHER. “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye Jove one an other; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” John 13: 34. This is a new commandment. The old one w r as: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,” etc. More is required of Christians than was required of God's people under the Jewish dispensation. More light and knowledge is given us than was enjoyed by them, and, therefore, more is required of us. This is right, and it is a prominent fact which we, of this enlightened age and country, should ever bear in mind. i This divine lesson is often re ' peated, and in different forms by ! Christ himself and his apostles. ■ In the 15th chapter and 20th verse iof this same book he said : “This is my commandment—That ye ' love one another, as I have loved ■ you.” Observe, this command ' ment applies alone to Christians, r and relates only to that estimation : in which they should hold each ■ other. Christians are not requir j ed, in th s commandment, to love God. or Jesus Christ, much less to i love the servants of Satan; but i that they “ love one another." 1 Nothing more nor less than that ‘ is required by the command -1 ment.'' 1 And hoxc we are to love ; each other is not left to vague in- I ference, but we are told expressly ! that we must love one another “as i I have hired you.” With the same ! sort of self-denying love which brought Christ into this world to purchase our ransom, at the price he voluntarily paid for it, we are i required and strictly enjoined to i “love one another.” In his memorable prayer, just before he was betrayed, (see John 17: 11,) he said: “Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.” ! This might be construed as apply ' ing to the twelve only, if left alone; but further on he said: \Neither pray I for these alone, but for I hem also which shall be lieve on me through thine word, that they all may be one," etc. It is clear, therefore, that Christ de sired all his followers to be one, in some sense. How, and in what respect are all Christians to be one? The answer is found in the prayer itself, “i/.* me ar:." t!i< I‘atln'r swrd ar«S one. <+o Chris, ians all be one. Then, how are■ the Father and Son one? Certainly they were not one in person, for the Son was then praying to the Father, who had sent him into this world. They were one. as we should be one. How is that? They wore one in purpose, as to the redemp tion of man ; one in sympathy for our fallen race, and one in love, each for the other and both for us; and hereby we learn that Christians, (to be such in fact,) mu*t be one with the Father, Son and each other in purpose, sympa thy and love. Hence the prayer: “That, they all may be one; as thou, Lather, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us.” “God is love," and to be like him we must abound in love for II im and for each other. When, therefore, we ask our selves whether we love a particu lar Christian, as we should, we must not stop to inquire whether he, or she, belongs to the same branch of the Christian Church with ourselves; but, to be like Christ,.ve must love all Christians of every name and shade of faith, provided only they be Christians. St. John says; “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren He , that loveth not his brother abideth ■ in death.’’ Reader, ponder well the remark, ''aljideth in death." If you are a ; Baptist,do you love your Method ist, Presbyterian or other Chris- ■ tian brothers or sisters as you; ; should? If a Pedo Baptist,do you i love your Baptist brothers as you should? If a Protestant, do you love your Catholic brethren as! you should ? If a Catholic, do you j love your Baptist, or Protestant brother as you should ? Let us all, I and each, inquire within ourselves I ■ for ourselves, and before a Throne of Grace—do 1 love all Christians j . —of every family—as Christ loved us, and as we must love each other to be his children ? Or, do I still ah Ide in death ? Hon. A. 11. Stephens arrived safe irt M ashington, and took a suite of I rooms at the National Hotel. He ■ is besieged by his many former admirers and friends, both ladies and gentlemen, lie is in usual health and fine spirits. The nation is impatient to hear from th? 2V< 11 N' ihn •> h THE DANGER OF PROS PERITY. It requires more grace to bear prosperity in a right spirit than adversity; one is apt to ensnare, the other humbles us, and teaches us self-knowledge. In prosperity we often slide into a spirit of con formity to the world almost im perceptibly. Many a Christian who has stood his ground boldly against the frowns and persecutions of the world, and passed through deep affliction in safety, has been won by its smiles in time of prosperity, and brought either to deny his Lord, or has sunk into a state of deadness and lukewarmness of soul. Peter, who zealously stood up for Christ in the garden of Geth semane in the face of the Roman soldiers, denied him while sitting at ease by the fireside in the palace of the high priest. How pure and unblemished was the character of David during the days when he watched his father’s sheep, and when suffering from the bitter persecution of Saul! But when he was exalted to the throne of Israel, when he ex changed (he shepherd’s crook for the kingly scepter, and the hum ble tent of Jesse for the princely palace, he fell into those sins which caused him to water his couch with tears, and the remem brance of which embittered his future days. Oh’ how much mercy there is in the failings of the saints being recorded! If they were set forth as perfect characters, we might indeed be discouraged, and almost readj’ to despair, when we feel our corruption strong and our enemies so numerous and power ful. If we read that the father of the faithful lied, that the man af ter God’s own heart became an adulterer and murderer, that the bold apostle, who wa so ready to go with his Master to prison and to death, yet so shamefully denied Him,what lessons of humility and watchfulness should it teach us! what tenderness toward our back sliding brethren! when we re member that we are liable to the same temptations, and that it is by grace we stand, and by grace alone that any are kept through faith unto salvation.

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 the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers—those who, from experience, have shown an aptnessXor imparting instruc tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of the Norcross High School. From the Gwinnett Herald, J. U. Vincent. Principal, is a ripr schol. ar and experienced teacher. From the Cartersville standard.
