The . following editori;.! from -
Brown's Cordeie I^ispatc'i I lits the nail ra:
squarely on the head that gwe are reproduc
ing it toto. There's considerable food fo v
thought in this editorial and we recommend it
to every reader of The News.
Brown begins his editorial v/ith the follow
ing extract from I he "Butler Herald:
“It seems strange to us that anybody would
lend opposition Vo consolidated district schools
which have so many advantages cover the old
time one or two-teacher rural school that the
question is scarcely debatable, yet now and
thfen we hear whispers of complaint, or evi
dences of a lack of interest in the consolidated
schopl. Why so is certainly hard to under
stand- Certainly you want your child to
have thei>est advantages possible in the school
room- Then you owe it to them—not to the
or the teachers—to back them up to
he limit and tell them to do their best regard
lew of any reasonable cost”—Butler Herald.
4 Then Brown continues:
t “So few people realize that the real foun-
1 -Mri-* of good citizenship, of growth, ol
wealth, of stability and excellency of all
our institution*, our everything, depend* upon
the real worth af our *chools, the building
and equipment and the type of teaching ser
vice offered—and the convenience of the real
school to all children ao they may have an
equal showing for their common school train
mg.
“The very people who have the largest
families do lets reading, les* thinking. less
planning for the training of these for future
asefulneas as citizens. The fact that they
are poor make* the task an imposable one,
i the state assures the good school
and good teacher and the community
maintains a system which makes it possible foi
the poor child to attend a good school, no
family is too poor to equip the child.
“Rural Georgia must have leaders who arc
fired with the purpose of seeing that all chil
dren have an equal showing. The rural school
is the only vehicle of superior schooling for
the rural child. It is 80 because it is the
only method by which the good school can
be taken to the rural districts. That the child
in some cases has to travel several miles is not
s
sufficient reason for refusing to give any
in a large thriving rural section the
proper school to attend. Consolidated schools
and Corps of teachers who tench every course
well as they are taught in any of the city
schools—that should be our aim for the coun
try boy or girl—it must be if we better thei i
school chances.

schools. We have nothing but the best wish
for both schools, teachers and officials in
charge, but it is really pathetic to hear a
boy or girl equipped in our own best schools
here talk about the handicaps into which they
run when they enter college in the classes
which well trained boyf and girls from the ex
ccllont schools of the best systems of the state.
And if our boys and girls out of our best
.schools meet such handicaps in the same
classes with trained boys and girls from the
better school systems, what may we expect
for the rural boy and girl? Is it any wonder
that so few of them enter college? Is it any
surprise that still a diminishing number o:
them graduate in college and go out men and
women ready for the great mission of the well
taained person?
“In us still burns the desire for an equal
showing for the rural boy and girl. We want
to see a great educational leader fire the peo
ple of Georgia with rural educational needs—
and we want to see such leader put it in the
hearts of the rural people to have the better
school. That ia the thing—only that. They
could have what they would—it is merely a
question of wanting it. Georgia needs—needs
so badly- ■a system of rural schools which
will make educated men and women out of
the rural boys and girls. This is such a very
great need that the rural population them
selves should arise with one voice and provide
for it.
“As wx; write these lines, we run over in ou.
minds the opportunity close at hand for gre.it
constructive work in the rural schools. Sum
Ler county, a next door neighbor, has the
best rystem of rural schols in Georgia—we
have heard it said more than once. But in
ihc building , one official in charge beginning
the (treat missionary work lost his hold and
was unpopular. He went out of office a de
but a man of great heart and great
courage and foresight. To succeed him ar.
other man was chosen—supposedly we tire
told, with orpooite views—against consoii
3 . . in office, Ire soon was for con
uiklated school; and he took up the ’.
.
f;om which ihc other man was remo d and.
ca rried forward It—ia told that this ! an wn
voted out o f office and a third one 'elected.
This man, like his predecessors in office,, ini
mediately became a consolidated school con
vert and so. in spite of the revolt at the ba.
lot box, Sumter county has a very fine ys
tern of rural schools.
Ther, „ another story wh.ch run, M;'
cntly. More than 20 years there »as
silver tongued lawyer in North Carolina. Hrs
one great burden of heart was the condition >f
rural schools in that state. He worked, he
wrote, he talked to thousands and thousands
with great fire and enthusiasm and an ever
lasting and untiring hope. At that work he
rose high in the hearts of the people and prac
tically without effort on his pare, we are told,
be was made governor. Charles B. Aycock's
one dream was to show the people of North
Carolina that education is the secret of all
self-governlnient. He wAs overwhelmed ,with
the belief that with education firmly fixed
as a foundation upon which to build. North
Carolina would build—-nothing could destroy
the structure—no demagogue, no tyTant in
politics, could check the advance. What that
great man did for the rural schools of North
Carolina is blooming today, as fragrant
a full blown rose in the dew of the morning.
Though he is dead and gone, the people of
that 6ectton praise him with the roost beautiful
tribute of loyalty and love. North Carolina
has a great system of rural schools—stands
first in advancement over all the other state-}
■of the union in point of school progress, and
likewise have vve heard that it stands’first in
industrial progress, Charles B. Aycock ar
gued that a system of schools with an equal
showing to all the children of the state—-the
rural with the city child—would develop a
great North Carolina. That was his message
20 years ago. Is it justified in the progress
of his state today? The Duke millions arc
pouring into the higher education of North
Carolina. Was Duke a convert of Charles B
Aycock? Who knows where the work o(
the great inan will ever cease bearing fruit?
Shnll we say never will it cease in this world?
“Shall we consolidate them and make the ru
ral school) a real place of learning for the
youth?”

Constance compressed her lips
and nodded.
Which shows how error will

apparently to himself.
He stepped around the rear of
the car, unloosed a strap with a
deft motion, and swung Con

Tommy Treat.: well sprang for

there was no reluetance in his
voice or manner.

Constance, who' had listened to '
this colloquy with her 1'acc avert

dark hair bristling, she was dis

always did in the library. She
looked at Tommy. He was brist

The efficiency man nodded.
Tommy Treadwell let fly with
his right arm, straight from the
shoulder. Hedge did not have his
hands up, but somehow the blow
missed him entirely. Perhaps if

haps it was because he flirted ni
