The Femaub Academy. —We 4eem it
our duty to cull the attention of the trustees
of this institution U tike wretched condition
of the building at the present time. It is
postively not is a suitable condition lor
the young ladies and children to remain in
this cold weather, and if many of the pat
rons could see it we fear some of them
iwould withdraw their children from the
school- We are in farmed that some have
declined to send because the bwSdisg was
not suitable to protect from the weather.
Besides, the repairs needed now are neces
sary to the preservation of the building.—
If made now the building can be put in a
,condition that will preserve it for years, but
iifmcglected much longer, the result will be
that anew building will have to be con
etructed. We hove had our attention par
ticularly called to this matter by one of the
patrons of tho school; W.bo, of course, feels
that *Uidree should be kept comfortable
while pursuing their studies. Wc don’t
know who the trustees are, but it they have
children going to this academy, to call at
tention to the matter will be sufficient; if
they are pot patrons they should attend to
it from a sense of duty.
Be Careful of Fire. —We caution
oar citizens to be careful of fire during this
windy weather. One cannot be too careful
of this dangerous element, as a little over
sight or carelessness may result in being
turned out of doors, if nothing more disas
trous. We learn the kitchen of Mr. S. D.
Colson, below town, caught fire one ay
last week, and the fire was under considera
ble headway when discovered, but effective
application ot water reduced the flames
without serious consequences to the build
ing*
Come up, Gentlemen.— The work on
the new Male Academy was suspended last
week because of lack of funds to pay the
workmen, Parties who have subscribed to
this good work have not paid in their sub
scriptions, and hence the stoppage of the
work. This will pot do,gentlemen. Walk up
to the captain’s office, gents, and settle
“P-
The Weed. —We are under obligations
to Sanders & Son for favors of this charac
ter. These gentlemen make it a point to
keep on hand a choice lot of cigars, among
which we note, “Phi Kappa,” “Our
Choioe,” “Little Belle,” “Figaro.” If
when you call you don’t know which to
take, leave it to “Little Jim”— bes a judge
and knows “whut’s what.”
Returned. — We were glad to meet in
town last week Hod. Robt. Hester and Hon.
Jas. L. Heard, our worthy Senator and
Representative. Their stay in the wicked
city of Atlanta does not seem to have effect
ed their morals, health, or appearance. —
This seems unaccountable when we know
they read daily that wicked paper the Her
ald. We welcome them home.
For the Gazette.]
OUR SCHOOLS.
There have appeared of late in The
Gazete several notices and communica
tions upon the subject of education, and
particularly in reference to the schools in
Elberton. But a subject of such vast im
portance cannot be too frequently brought
before the public mind; as in regard to the
greatest of causes, so with reference to
this, which may be placed as second in im
portance, we need “line upon line and pre
cept upon precept.”
The schools of Elberton, if they are to be
judged by the competency of teachers, thor
oughness of instruction, and a wholesome
discipline—and we know of no other rules
by which to reach a conclusion upon this
subject—will not suffer in comparison with
any of a like character in all the coun
try.
The Andrew Male High School has en
tered upon the second year of its existence,
and the wisdom of those who inaugurated
the enterprise has been fully vindicated, and
the universal satisfaction given during the
past year, together with the large number of
interesting young men who are added to the
school, some of whom are from the central
portion of the State, give assurance that the
school is laying the foundation fora brilliant
career of prosperity and usefulness.
It is hoped that by the time spring is
fairly opened, the new academy, which
is now in process of erection, will be ready
for the use of the school, so that ample
accommodation in the way of a house will be
afforded.
The Female Collegiate Institute, is still
under the management of the former teach
ers, both in the literary and musical depart
ments ; and to those acquainted with this
school, the above announcement is a suffi
cient pledge of its merits. We think it not
extravagant to say that in this institution
young ladies and girls may be as thorougly
educated and accomplished as elsewhere.
Now a word with reference to Elberton
as a suitable location for institutions of
learning. And wc think it is not simply
personal attachment which leads us to say it
is a “beautiful situation.” Occupying the
highest ground between Beavcidam and
Falling creeks, it is sufficiently elevated to
secure it from local causes of disease, being
supplied with an abuudance of pure water,
and the poetic mind will be delighted to
stand upon some of the eminences, and look
away toward the north, where may be trac
ed the dim outlines of the grand old Blue
Ridge.
As to public improvements we could wish
that more might be said, and yet it is true
that the town is gradually and substantial
ly improving, sufficient evidence in this
direction to establish the fact that the peo
ple are public spirited-
The population are moral, intelligent, so
cial and refined, will compare favorably with
other towns in these respects. Aod there
are several moral and intellectual forces
which, if properly applied, will insure
first-class society, The public worship of
God is celebrated every Sabbath, as a gen
eral thing, twice during the day; a weekly
prayer-meeting; Sabbath-school; a large
lodge of Free and Accepted Masons; a
lodge of Good Templars; and as already
stated, excellent male and female schools.
Taking all these things into consideration
we conclude that Elberton possesses many
elements to make a pleasant place in winch
to live, or sojourn, there being many ad
vantages for moral and intellectual improve
ment.
It is true there is vice here, as we cannot
reasonably expect to find any place oa earth
free from it, taking human nature as it is ;
also there are temptations to evil, as there
will be found in every place, and if a per
son would shun evil, let him guard well his
steps.
From the foregoing reflections we reach
what was intended to be the leading consid
eration in writing this communication—an
earnest appeal ic behalt of our schools.
The schools have opened under encour
aging auspices, the attendance tor the time
has been very encouraging, especially at the
Andrew Male High School, and, consider
ing the severe weather, the attendance at
the Female School is pretty good; but we
greatly desire, and these schools certainly
deserve, a more liberal patronage. Ample
accommodations, at reasonable terms, can
be obtained for board. And wo appeal to
the surrounding counties to assist in making
these schools permanently a fixture that
shall continue to bless future generations;
and this desirable end is to be reaohed by
extending a liberal patronage to the schools.
If you design sending your sons and
daughters away from home to be educated
send them to Elberton, and we feel confi
dent that when they leave our schools you
will feel amply compensated for all your
outlay.
The war swept uway much ot the wealth
of our people, and very few can expect to
leave their children much in the way of
property —and it is very questionable
whether, in a majority of cases, property
left to children is not a greater curse than
blessing—and with many about all they
can expect to do for their children is to ed
ucate them. And this is the best fortune.
Give a youth an education, and then let him
be the architect of his own fortune. Society
needs for its members active, self-reliant
useful and an important place. Then, .we
repeat it, let us strive to bild up institu
tions of learning in our midst where the
youth of our country may be educated.
