Julian, wife of Ex-Senator A. J. Julian, died at her home in Forsyth County on March Ist. She leaves, be sides her husband, two daugh ters, Mrs. Oscar Lilly, of Dah lonega, Ga., and Mrs. E. O. Brice of Chicago 111. Besides the members of her immediate family, there are a host, of friends throughout this and other states to whom the an nouncement of her death brings a feeling of distinct personal loss. There have been few women or men in North Geor gia who have made for them selves so large a place in the lives of so great a number of people as did she, for there have been few so richly endow ed in mind and in heart with all the graces and virtues essential to the highest type of efficient service. Her careen of usefulness be gan just after the close of the Civil war when, disregarding the circumstances by which she was surrounded that rendered it unnecessary for her to deny herself of any of the comforts or pleasures which material pos sessions could supply, and put ting aside the inducements ' ' ll were offered her to en ter of life that present ed wl.ixt the world would would call far greater renown, she chose rather to consecrate her -nts and her life to that \\M -h meant most to her peo ul. For more than thirty wears * ~o magnified the offiqe of ■fcwtcher and loader that? bet methods ‘of instruction became and are still the standards by which teaching is measured through this entire section. No boy or girl ever came under the influence of her teaching whose life as not impressed for good and directed toward higher at tainment. Few teachers in Geor gia have had an opportunity to come in contact with so many, and none have left more indel ible impressions upon the minds of those taught. She did not confine her work to the school room. She kept in touch w ith her pupils. When they went out from under her tuition she never forgot them, but remain ed to the end their true, devo ted friend. To her they always felt free to go for assistance in the solution of the dillicult prob lems of after life. They never found her too busy with her own affairs to give l to them flu time, sympathy and advice that would set them right. There are many esteemed great among men and women who live in memory or are re called by the printed page; but she lives in the hearts 01 her pu pils, the gray headed men whom she delighted to honor by calling them to the last “her boys.” The influence which she exerted over their lives will continue to live and bear fruit •l t he lives of their descendants Highout time. ur effort to compare her school room life-direcun.-; wor with the mechanical ; recti and education by rote thjit p>\ vails in a great many of our so called modern schools tads be cause they cannot be eomp..tv They can only be contrasted.
