JANUARY 10 1807 OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Standard is too earnestly and heartily Interested In the education of the children of CedarUjwn and vicinity to ullow us to enter into any news paper controversy over anything con nected with our public schools. We shall therefore pay attention to only one point in the recent communication of Col. .1. K. Davis to The Standard, In which he declared ihls intention of Introducing a resolution at the Feb ruary meeting of the Bond of Edu cation making any t'acher Ineligible for re-election who Is related to any member of the Board. He offers this as a Butwt tuts for The Standard's re cent suggestion that the School Char ter bo so •mended as to prevent any possibility of nepotism. We must beg leave to stand by the suggestion as published by us, and in which we had every reason to be lieve Col. Davis would concur. The resolution he suggests smacks too much of linking war on women, for It can m?an nothing else than an ef fort to punish teachers because the people happen’d to elect their kins men to service on the Board ! We presume, of course, that Col. Davis has not thought of this aspect of the case, and we do not believe that ha or any other member of the Board would wish to put himself In this attitude. A very strong argument in favor of the Charter amendment is that it would he of practical permanency, while a mere resolution of the Board could be repealed at any time. If the matter is to be m ul? a political issue, let it be settled for all time. if it would not be presumptlous on our part, we would suggest that the course be adopted here that Is in vogue in some other schools: Where a teacher is related to any member of the Board, that member should not be allowed to participate in the election of that particular teacher, but should be required to absent himself from the room. This would n?csssi- tate a very sensible change in the method of electing teachers her?, nmk lng each teacher, elected separately on his or her own merits Instead of ‘‘in a bunch" as at present. The system of requiring the Superintendent to make ro*ommendB-tions as to the mem be'rs of the faculty to be employed should, of course, be continued. As we say, this rule is used with satis factory results in s>me schools, and might be worthy of consideration here. As all readers of The Standard kna we are greatly Interested in the suc cess of our public schools. The pub lic school system has Its grave faults — none know tills better than its friends; but it Is the only way in which the masses of the children can be given an opportunity to secure an education, and it is vitally important that this opportunity should be given to all. Comparatively few can af ford the expense of private- schools, however desirable they may lie con sidered. We hope the time will come —and that speedily — when we can have absolutely free public schools in Cedartowu, and we repeat a state ment heretofore made in these c<tf- umns that we would rather pay our sh.ire f tax for educational than any other purpose. We repeat agiln that if the schools of Cedii’town are not all they should b?, the responsibility Is largely with the parents who fail to co-operate with the touchers in the enforcement of dlt- cipllne. Some of those self-same par ents have a bitter harvest to reap as a reward for their folly. In fact,we would suggest that, some of them would do well now to make Inquiries of the city officials as to the behavior of their boys; they might, learn some tilings that would startle them. We like the suggestion mode by Hon. Jos. Folk, the wise "reform Governor” of Missouri. In a recent issue of the Youth’s Companion he writes: — "I wish the duties of citizenship were taught to the young more in every school, so that all might appreciate what it meuns to be an American cit izen. The selfish people who would make money ut the ^xpense of the common good are morally blind, and cannot, appreciate how the individual serves his Interest by promot ing # the public good. Those who understand the relation of the common good to the individual interest should incul cate among the people the supreme value of tibia doctrine. "It would be well to have the pu pils rise In their places each morn ing and put the question, ‘How can man serve his best Interest?’ and then give the answer, ‘Man serves his best interest by promoting the com mon good.'" Not a lad Idea, is it? A Delightful Reception. R?v. W. A. Harris Is now asso ciated with Editor H. F. Joyner in the management of the Rock mart Cour ier. They will make a strong team, and The Standard wishes them the best of success. Thn Congregational Lull s’ Aid So ciety will give a badket supper to morrow evening at th? home of Mr. Thos. F. Thompson on College street at 7.30 o’clock. The hulks are asked to bring well-filled baskets, and th • gentlemen should not forget their pocket-books. A pl?as!ng program will be presented after the supper. Th? accidental omission of a line In The Standard last week is respon sible for the failure to give credit for the untilorsfliip of the Interesting and scholarly article on "The Meaning of Christmas,” which was from the gift ed pen of M'aj. J. A. Blanc? and was read by him at a Chris mas gathering at the Baptist church Governor-elect Hoke Smith Is tak ing an active and commendable inter est in th? present immigration move ment in Georgia. Much land In this section will lie idle this year because of inability to secure sufficient labor. Some of It, of cours?, needs a rest, but there is no possibility of ignor ing the fact that the labor problem for our .farmers is growing increasingly difficult every year, and we must se cure a worthy class of Immigrants in some 'way to supply the pressing de mand.
