EDUCATION.
Screven, Ga., Aug. 8th, 1907.
Editors of Jtsup Sentinel:
Will you allow me space in your
paper to say a word about Educa
tion.
Parents, have you considered
what the education of your chil
dren means, and the kind of teaeli
ers you should employ to give
them the proper training they
should have in order to meet the
many obsticles of life, and live
an honorable and useful life, one
that will be a blessing to those
arround them.?
Education is the proper devel
opment of the mind the moral as
well as the mental or the intel
lectual faculties.
I wish to say that it is the duty
of parents to select carefully their
teachers, see to it that he is a
true teacher, one that knows how
to £ ra j u children to be genu
ine patriotic citizens, he should
be a person that would set good
examples lor the children, as well
as to give good advice.
I wish to say a word on local
school taxation. We need better
equipped school houses, longer
terms of schools and better teacli
ers. In order to secure them we
need more money and the only
way to get it is by taxation. Fel
j oW citizens, we can not make a
better investment than for the
pj-jper training of the rising gen
eratiou. May the time soon come
when we will have 8 months
school instead of five.
