AN ADDRESS.
( *’ . -J ill/ V] , ...
To the Patrons and Students >
of Rabun Gap High School
by MISS A. V. M’PHRRGO*..
I shall divide*my remarks on this
occJis on into three parts, and address
them directly to three elements of this
intelligent and interesting audience.
iFiist, I shall address the parents who
have children to educate, second. I
shall address the advanced-students,
and third, the primary students of the
•school. :I ask, first, the special atten
tion of parents. Do you feel interested
3n the welfare and educational pros-
-■peritv of vour children* and hope, ere
long, to see them rise to distiction, and
plaeo their names conspicuously upon
the roll of inmo and honor? -Or are
you careless as to whether they ever
become piomoters of progress tootu-
countty, and useful members of soci
ety? «T. can not think that t here is a 1
single man within these walls .today,
that does not wish his sons and daugh
ters to become, popular and useful in
the work!A 'Blit, I next ask. hmv’ftre
they to become so? Give them every
advantage for procuring an education j »f jhese means,
that lies within your power, and he
particular not to neglect your daugh
ter’s education. It is too often that
we hear men crying down female ed
ucation. They say, “ What is the use
of sending girls to school so much ?
Thev soon marry—throw aside their
than-those
gone to school.’* I
am free to acknowledge that too many
of mv sex do, after leaving school and
marrying, throw aside book?, for which
I believe there are causes not to be
attributed to education, hut to a de
ficiency in both the manner in which a
oulty that then ro-e before you, but
which you have been" enabled by the
bid of/our kind-preoeptortoWmount
ind level with the plain, ami you now
fiud your feet set onward in the direc
tion of the “Hill of Science” I, as
your friend, would warn you not to
.-top here, aud content yourselves with
beholding the laurels already won, but
let your motto be “ Onward, ever On
ward.”
After leaving your seats in this
Academy (as perhaps some of yon will
do to-day never to resume them) dotft
think that because you have gone
through your course here, you are per
fect, and need not devote any to your
books and the further improvement
of your minds, but make them your
constant companions during leisure
hours, and try to steadily and contin
ually improve in knowledge. Your
teacher has often told you that here
Little as you think /? It now,tj»e
future if ogress aii<| Wel&re rtf" yopr
country depends .entirety upon you,
the rising generation; and now is the
proper season to lay the foundation
for that great work. Let me entreat
you to prepare your hearts, as well
as your minds for that great task of
beooming an honored and trusted
citizen of our great country. Youth
is the time to form right principles of
truthfulness and piety, while the
heart is tender, and easy to yield to
gospel tidings, for in after years it
becomes cold and dormant to these
influences. So arm yourselves with
this armor, that you may take the
places of your father and mothers,
and do much honor, not only to there
names, but to yourselves.
Trussing that I may claim a spot
upon memory’s page,"and that I may
be affectionately - remembered by

It is too often the case that we see
voting gentlemen and ladies come
away from college, in dying colors,
receiving their diplomas, medals of
honor, etc., but here they too often
stop and conteul themselves with the
name of lionois, and do not try to
maiqUin a genuine knowledge of
what they profess. "They dclighf in
boasting of being masters of the aris
and sciences, but possess nothing
real but the name. They lay aside
their books in the library and think
it useless to refer to them, but alas h _ _

HAVING moved across the street from my old stand, 21 Marietta

nominal instruction ha9 been imparted, , as incite 'stumbling-blocks in society,
and also in the quality of knowledge
received. But T shall not stop to dis
cuss these points now. Suffice it to
say that whatever knowledge has been
gained is not entirely lost, but does
exert a most salutary influence over 1 learned run away with
their children in after years, in the judgment and common
and become subject of derision by
tbe people. It lias b en wisely re
marked thou “a little learning is a
dangerous thing,” so let us beware
not to let what we have already
our better
sense, but
ptrive to add to our store of
knowledge. The greatest men and
women of all ages are those who con
stantly apply themselves to rigorous
study; try, try to dive deeper into
the depths of science, which they
have never yet been permitted to
reach. But believing you are all se
riously interested, and are striving to
obtain an education, and have already
advanced sufficiently to satisfy your
selves of the great pleasure and beue-
improper in manners, j fit to be derived from it, l will now
in sayings, hold on to ! tender to yon, one and all, my many
formation of mind and character, for
we notice their children are generally
more polite and polished in manners
and possess minds more easily culti
vated, while those children whose
mothers have no education may train
them in paths of truthfulness and
honesty, still there is a void in both
mind and character that is very diffi
cult to till
llow often do we see boys and girls,
after they have grown old enough to
know what is
and incorrect
the old homely expressions of their
infancy just because ma still uses
them. We should remember,
*' ’Tis education forms the common mind,
Jnst as the twig ia baut the tree’s inclined, *
therefore dp uot neglect your daugh
ters’ education, for that is a matter of
vital importance.
If you wish your children to be |
distinguished and useful, strive to give
them an education, for when they are
ouce in possession of this, there is
nothing they would take in exchange
for it, and we are sure it can never be
taken from them.
You may labor and toil all the days
of your life to accumulate property for
them, aud then lie down and dio leav
ing them to disgrace your memory by
their contentions and bickerings over
your wealth, while on the other hand,
if you will spend all you can to'im-
prove their minds, they will reverence
and honor your name, and when your
ashes lie cold and silent in the grave,
they will rise .up and call you blessed

ful avd distinguished mernbi rs of so
ciety, and bring great honor upot
your worthy teacher, as well as your,
selves after you leave the hallowed
precincts of these solemn walls. So I
bid you adieu!
I turn my attention now to the
primary department. It is toward
you, dear children, that I now feel a
very deep interest, and have been la
boring for the past months to impart
instruction that will help you on in
future days. Jfis true, I have been
with you but a short season, still
during this time, each of you has
found a true resting place in my heart.
Your kind and cheerful obedience to
mo has always been noticed with
much pleasure. I have occasionally
had to reprove some unthoughtful
little boy or girl for misconduct, but
acknowledge I have never met with
any children that yielded more readi
ly to ray wishes than jou have done.
I hope yon rimy ail be continued in
school, and that you will go on, step
by step, until you shall have arrived
at the top of tbe ladder cf lame.
