hearts; people are more anil more re¬

he is not a resident of that State, and
they do not want their share of the

CHILDREN CRYING FOR BREAD
Chancellor Boggs, in a recent in-
torview reported in the Constitution,
makes some admirable suggestions
concerning the educational needs of
our state. He thinks that money should
bo f 1 * ce l y poured into the brains of our
children; that the appropriations for
education should ascend into the mill-
ions as the State increases in popula-
tion and wealth. He would have the
common schools, colleges and univer-
sities one organic whole, fostered and
... >yihe»Utc;thc lower , .
care, or sc oos
furnishing the higher with sudents, the
choicest and most talented among our
youth,and the higher supplying the low
er with thoroughly qualified teachers,
thus uniting the entire sehools of the
state in the strong bonds of unity,
sympathy, and affection.
The measures urged by the News
two wceks ago> that our medical col-
^ Mres should adopt higher standards, years’,
and extend the course to three
h e strongly emphasizes. With ref-
erence to a normal college the Chan-
“I think for the present at least, it
would he far better to put a chair of
-Pedagogies’ that in every branch college,
is, a chair of the art of teaching.
This would be talking science to
It w'ould reduce the CDst of
m:i ki n g teachers to the lowest figures
consistent with efficiency.”
Unless the Chancellor is misunder¬
stood, we fear in this particular he is lia¬
ble to make a mistake. In colleges
where chairs of ‘Pedagogies,’ or di-
dietics, have been established, unless
supplemented by class work and drill,
they have not been fruitful of results.
If our worthy Chancellor means that
the above chair is betterthan nothing;
that a few crumbs are better than no
bread, and these chairs of didactics
are all that can be obtained at pres¬
ent, then it is the duty of every citi¬
zen to sustain and uphold him in the
work. But the News makes an
earnest protest in behalf of ourchildren
outside the cities, mentally starving;
and it loudly calls for a few slices of
bread from the loaf which our great
state is abundantly able to supply,
The truth is, lectures on didactics, or
‘talking science to the people’ will not
make teachers, any more than than
lectures ou military science will make
soldiers; teachers and soldiers must
needs be trained, be drilled in prac-
tical work before they are fitted for
their duties. This practical training
is especially necessary for teachers of
(> ur public schools in the rural districts,
—schools in which teachers from the
colleges are seldom found. These
schools demand the most earnest con-
sideration.
E very where they are taught by
young persons without knowledge
without experience, and thus ’whole
generations of the great rank and tile
of the children of our state are grow¬
ing to manhood and womanhood im¬
perfectly and poorly educated.

The evolution of normal schools
from small beginnings to their pre e»t
attainments,and their remarkable in¬
fluence on the educational progress
of the nation are subjects worthy of
careful studv.
Previous to 1845 the methods of
j instruction in the state of New Y'ork,
were of the most primitive character.
About that time the first normal
school was opened, and supplemented
by the teachers’institutes in every
county. The change was immediate
and remarkable; in a few years there

The same thing may be said of

sota p i ante d her three normal schools
on the bosom of her prairies, while a
great portion of her broad landscape
was an uninhabited wilderness. One
of these is the £ ost complete school
of its kind in tl £ world. It is a type
of what such a school should be.

HO.VIB MARKETS.
The Alliances have generally ar-
r , n „ e d for purchasing family and farm
H ,- T , ' t i

“
that they now turn their attention . to
the ways and means of having conve¬
nient markets and good prices fur
farm products.
In an editorial last week we show¬
ed that,as compared with many places
this Piedmont country is most favor¬
ably located, convenient to the best
markets in the world,—within a few
hours of the great cities North and
South.
While this is so,it is possible to do
better still. Bv united efforts we can
create markets close to our very doors.
This can be done by planting facto¬
ries in Toccoa, in Cornelia, in Clarks-
\ ilie, Lavonia, in fact in all towns
throughout this region, and wher¬
ever there is water power. By bring¬
ing consumers near producers,a home
market is made and good prices can
lie obtained for all that the farmers
can raise.
Mr. Kolb, Commissioner of Ag i-
culture for Alab ima says: “I haveob-
served that large manufacturing town
are always surrounded by prosperous
farmers. In Iowa and other western
states,I found land worth $100 to$250
an acre for 20 miles nrouml a maun-
factoring town. I‘ lfty years ago that
country was an uninhabited vvilder-
ness. There is no doubt immigration
brought about its present prosperity.”
MERCHANTS AND FARMERS,
by uniting can form joint stock com¬
panies, and establish factories;—not
necesarily great concerns, but small
industries. Their name is legion; ev¬
erything from a hoe handle up to
wagons and farm machinery, One
industry tends to bring anoth¬
er; when once a start is made, but a
few years will pass away when tlie
air will resound with the hum of tna -
chinery. Then capitalists will eome
and establish factories, machine shops,
cotton and woolen factories. Let
some one start the ball “a rolling.”
SILVER AND LEAD.
Last year the Editor of the News
published a pamphlet on Flowery
Branch, Ga., in which occur the fol-
lowing^words;
“Flowery Branch is in the midst of
this wonderful mineral region. In

GOOD GROUNDS.
“A lawyer in one of the upper
counties had an account against the
Air Line Lh.i oad, and swore out an
attachment and locked No. 51 tlm

He sued out the attachment on the
ground that the train was moving out

In the above account tiiere arc a
few slight errors. Col. Camp never
levied on any property of the Air Line
Road; Mr. It. J. VV. Hitt was not a
bailitf and did not lock up the train,
the engineer did r.ot have to make an
extra fire and put on extra steam ;
the train did not go to Atlanta but
in the opposite direction. The bailiff
who did the tying up was H.F. Dooly,
and when the train moved it parted
the chain as easily apparently as if
tied by a straw.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Mar. 20th., 1889.
Missouri seems to have a large slice
of official pie and to be holding out
her unoccupied hand* while she_ever
and anen takes the slice out of her
mouth to cry for more. Chauncey J.
Filley is running like a two year old
although he has not yet made up his
mind what to expect. He did wish to
he consul-general to London, but the
President “jest acutually luffed” and
Mr. Blaine told the delegation blunt-
ly that the position was not in the
market. From that it would appear
that John C. New had secured the
place,though Mr. New’s friends swear
that he is booked for the Austrian
mission.
Vienna is the gayest, not to sav
most reckless capital in Europe, and
a few j’ears the-e would be a season
of paradise, of a certain sort. The
consul-generalship at London is,
however, not to be Uglily estimated,
although the social position is below
that of an ambassador. All the de¬
lights of the world’s greatest city and
the case of official position beyond
the reach of small office seekers pre¬
sent themselves. And then the emol¬
uments, which are something of a
mystery, amount to $30,000 or $40,-
000 a year. Really I am unable to
see how a man who has always been
as generous to himself as Mr. New,
can find it in his big Indiana heart to
refuse the position— if he car. get it.
It appears this morning that Presi¬
dent Harrison will appoint ‘Corporal
Tanner to be Commissioner of Pen-
sions If so it will he his first ap-
pointment of a candidate that has not

days after the inauguration that the
office seekers were not more numer¬
ous now than after former inaugura¬
tions, reckoned without his host. The
host has arrived since and the end is
not yet. Tlie politicians who have no

stern purposes, delayed their coming *

ignorance,- which was appropiately
combined with probably the smallest
amount of actual good sense that ev-*

to be fifth angel in the hosts of heav-

sion which everybody should read. It
tells where and for what man was cre¬
ated; it tells what woman was
made for; it tells what all beasts, all
cattle, fowls c.f the air, all fishes of
the sea; all herbs of the field were
made for. It tells the farmer how he
ought to eat his daily food; it tells
how the merchant ought to do his
business;likewise all other professions
it tells the man how to bo a good
husband; it tells the woman how to
be a good wife; it tells the young
man how to deport himself so as to be
esteemed by all good people, how to
see good days and have long life; it
tells the young women how to dress
and conduct themselves; it tells the
chi dren what they ought to do ;it tells
how every body could be prosperous
and happy in this world. Last and
best of all, it tells how- all mankind
may depart this life happy and reach
a home far beyond the skies, where
Jesus our Saviour is gone.
