AUG. 3 SSil% ' 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. J. R. Altman. Wayne’s two New Towns The Jbills introduced by Hon. Jos. A.
