THE CANTON ACADEMY.
'We again take the liberty, and,
ns w T e believe, our duty, to broach
the question of Canton building an
Acad emy, and this time more fer
vently than ever before; perhaps
not more fervently but more
lengthy in our discouse setting
forth the reason why we think our
’town should have an Academy.
No one, we have any idea, will dis
pute tho fact that we need and
. should have a good school-house,
for to. do that it would simply be
to ignore knowledge and all that
tends’ to goodness. Some one has
'very wisely said: “Ignorance is
schooled in the right man nor at a
place of learning. But we must
not attempt to mil you what learn
ing is nor how it should be arrived
ut for all of us, more or less, have
some learning, and—need more.
We shall endeavor, as we set out
to do, to bring this subject clearly
before our peoplo, not of the town
alone hut of the county in gencrul,
for all are alike interested in her
educational facilities and advan
tages. None should he uncon
cerned, and we trust, none are.
We have a large countv, and
this, for oue reason, is why we
need a good school-house. To con
tinue to send the sons and daugh
ters of our county to other places,
when we can ut so small an ex
pense build up and improve our
educational advantages, would cer
tainly he acting under a wrong
impression. Then why not at once
build up and improve our most ex
cellent opportunities, thereby sav
ing noth trouble and expense, he
sides Keeping the money ut home.
In our mind there is no reason why
Canton cun not build up a fine
school and attract attention from
abroad. None whatever. Several
of our neighboring towns with no
better educational advantages than
we can have support fine schools,
then w’hy not Canton ? Wo are not
envious, yet wo believe Canton can
and will have us fine school as any
town before long.
Our county is a fine one; the
healthfulness of its climate is good ;
the water js the host; the atmos
phere is pure, bracing and invig
orating ; and, living extremely
cheap. Then why not build up an
Academy in Canton, and therefore
beautify Canton, improve our
county, educate the young, leave
money ut home, and impart an
everlasting benefit, besides having
done what we thought to ho our
duty, It is but just and right, and
sadiy needed* and we*believe the
sooner the hall be put in motion
the sooner all will lie convinced
that it long since should have been
done. Make a move at once.
On the hill just in the rear of Mr.
Crisler’s residene is a beautiful site
on wliich to erect an Academy ; it
is elevated, overlooking the town,
and in every way especailly suited
for an educational building to he
placed upon it. This plat of ground,
we believe, belongs to Col. J. J. A.
Sharp, and, if it does, it is our opin
ion he will sell it cheap for educa
tional purposes. W o only give the
above for wlmt it may be worth,
and not as a selection or sugges
tion. We leave that for others.
Let some man or men, or ladies,
our ladies are that enterprising,
with the spirit of improvement and
u stern reality of justice and ad
vancement set about with the de
termination to build an Academy
and in twelve months or less time
we will show you a building reaied
for educational purposes that Can
ton will deservedly be proud of.
That Canton should have an Acad
emy is acceded to by all. Then to
work and the result will inevitably
he ail Academy that will be orna
ment to Canton, an improvement
for the county, and a lasting help
to our educational iuterest. Once
we get a good school-house it will
he hut an easy matter to get a
teacher with whom all (?) should
he pleased.
We hope this article will not be
looked upon . as ignoring the two
schools wo now have, for it does
not. We are proud to say we have
as good schools as we at present
can expect. Und?r the charge of
Rev. B. E. Ledbetter and Miss
Jessie Pritchett we may look for
them to successfully flourish. We
take great pleasure in recommend
ing both as experienced teachers.
For the present we shall say no
more, and earnestly hope that be
fore our neyt issue something will
he done that shall go toward a. per
manent foundation in building the
Canton Acadeipy.
