EDUCATION IN FORT VALLEY
(Continued from Front Page)
The Employment Bureau of the
United States Government lists three
.thousand occupations and beneath
every one of these that would be
considered by even the least ambi¬
tious boy or girl is found these
words; “A high school education is a
Valuable preparation.”
There is a pathetic picture in the
old Book of Jeremiah—“Their nobles
■have sent their little ones to the wat¬
ers; they came to the wells, and found
DO water; they returned with their
vossels empty; they were ashamed
and confounded and covered their
heads.” Is the Kiwanis Club and the
citizenship of Fort Valley willing that
even one boy or girl shall come in
thif day and generation Heaven-sent
to the world of service and achieve¬
ment and find at the “Wells of Know¬
ledge” no water, returning, as it
wore, with vessel empty only to be
ashamed and confounded and with
covered head fail in life? That is
not the spirit of Kiwanians, that is
not the spirit of Fort Valley!
They tell us that “he who learns
more earns more,” but the money ques¬
tion is not the only advantageous
consideration.
We are reminded of Epictetus, that
great Roman stoic, who on one oc
caaion when condemned by a rich Ro¬
man orator for his contempt of
money-getting said to the rich man,
** After all, I am richer than you—it
is true you have silver vessels but
you have earthenware ideals, reasons,
ambitions, appetite; you have that
which is insatiate, I have that which
satisfies, every success in the world of
intellect and art is a profit to so¬
ciety, whereas, as a rule, every suc
cess in the money-world means the
misery nnd failure of hundreds of
antagonists.”
Fort Valley offers an ideal situa¬
tion for n central high school and sec¬
tional grammar schools. The main
school building on Everett Square
could well be utilized for a Junior
and Senior High School and a gram¬
mar school could be built now on the
West End property and one in Oak¬
land Heights with the idea of build¬
ing another in Sunset Park as the
city grows. This has been found to
be the ideal plan in progressive
cities of the North and East and no

more expense would be entailed in
running the school since at present
there are two teachers employed for
every grammar grade and most of
the other grades.
By the time children are of high
school age they could go alone
across the railroad tracks and make
the distance to school more easily,
whereas, at tenter age, it is best
for them to attend sectional schools
convenient to their homes.
The Kiwanis Club and citizenship
of Fort Valley want that no child in
this city shall have to “match muscle
and endurance against machinery;”
that not one shall be "tethered by a
rope of ignorance;” that not one
shall “return from the well of know¬
ledge with vessels empty or limited,
ashamed, confounded;” that not one

out into the world with trained head,
heart and hands to face the respon¬
sibilities of life.
“The hope of this community is in
the breath of its school children.
Tlfe Kiwanis Club has given itself
to/the launching of the Poach Bios
som Festivals. That is a fine thing,
but a developed, educated, trained,
disciplined youth sent out into the
world would better advertise Ft. Valley
and shed a sweeter, more lasting and
far-reaching fragrance than any pink
petal from the blossom of the peach.
The Kiwanis Club is lending itself
to the building of a new hotel in this
city. That is a fine thing but in the
great “House of Life”, in a trained
educated youth, there would never be
vacancies in those rooms of high
ideals, holy ambitions, Christian ser
vice and sympathetic comradeship,
The Kiwanis Club is backing up the
movement to pave the highways of
this section. That is a fine thing but
the youth of this community, educat
ed and trained and developed into
four-square men and women, would
make a great ‘human highway’ which
would never crush and break under
the weight of the great tasks and
responsibilities and duties of life.

That:—TO WAIT for the ship to come in may result in a big
