I have : c .'- . ith much interest of
the meet. of he State Conference
on Education, ise itly held in the
city (.f Atlan . art i 1 am glad to see
that Georgia i-s taking a step forward
in school work, and will iikely enact
laws to meet urgent needs. Every
body in the State should be impress
ed with its significance. It has
brought to the State some of the most
Intellectual minds of the country, and
we hope that much good may follow
in its wake* Ex-President; Roose
velt has said. "The government can
do much, meaning the State govern
ment, because such work is beyond
the scope of the National goverai
ment.'' The State govrnments can
and ought to do more than they are
doing in educating their children.
There is no nobler charity, nor any
more vital to the welfare of the State
than to provide for the moral, physi
cal and intellectual well being of the
children within its borders.
Suffice that, the State government
do their duty, there Is another ele
ment which is far more interested
tn this matter, and which argument
brings the subject home to us. If
the State takes the initiative, we
must meet it and respond to her gen
erosity by giving our children the full
benefit of such aid. Governor Hok<-
Smith, who is heart and soul interest
ed i’i the subject of education, and
whose address was one of the features
at the session of the Educational
Conference, says: “The greatest op
portunity for special effort upon edu
cational lines, which our section pre
sent is in the rural schools. Edu
cation is the problem of life. It fits
the young and old for the duties
of life. We must not- stop at knowl
edge, derived from books alone, but
bvllrl character, which must prepare
the child to be an actor in future
struggles of life.” So. let us he im
presred with a solemn sense of duty
to all, and lo all we can to protect
the little one;;, intrusted to our care
and pro|ect|nn, and give them ajl
that is due them on this line. “Edu
cation is the very essence of human
progress and human development.
The highest purpose of man should
be to serve his God, his country and
his fellow man.”
The farmers through thi3 section,

stalk, good color, and in good health.
The Williams Bros., who seem to be
hustlers, keep right up with their

will Baptist church at this place in
early childhood. Her constant thought
was to see those near and dear to
her Christians. We point the dear
ones to Him whose love is sufficient
and complete. In that beautiful
clime beyond the clouds, some sweet
day, her loved ones can join her and
realize all the grandeur and beauty
of that newness of life. The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. W.
T. Wiley at the Zion cemetery. Tru
ly a good woman is gone.

Did you ever think about the ef
fect of kindness? It is one of the
greatest things in existence. It is
one of the best ways yet to gain
friends —to be kind. Treat every
body kind and true and you are sure
to gain friends. But if you are un
kind, you are sure to lose what few
friends you have and not gain any
more. Be friendly and kind to all
and you are sure to gain friends and
success. Just think how everybody
disdains an unkind person. Every
body wants to be with a kind person,
but there is not any one who wants
to be with an unkind person. Be
kind, friendly and true and you’ll have
friends. JUNIOR.
