It appropriates $35,000, and the old executive man¬ sion at Milledgeville, valued at $40,- 000. There is now a fair prospect of the state doing something for the higher education of the girls. *** Few men have been more talked n- bout in the newspapers the past few weeks, than Governor Hill of New York.He doubtless has learned by this time that the man who reads en¬ cyclopedias, has a strong hold on the affections of the American people. **** The educational bill of Mr. Fricks has passed the house. One clause makes the preparation of questions for the examination of teachers the duty of local school boards. This had better been the duty of County school commissioners; but then, that would make it necessary for the com* missioners to be sufficiently educated to prepare appropriate questions. **** The connection of Mr. II a uni, the new Commissioner of pensions, with the liquor interests, docs not com¬ mend that gentleman to the warm welcome of temperance people. Some persons are so irreverent as to suggest? that in his appointment, the Presi- •dent had an eye on the influence of the rum power, and a longing in his heart for the* rum vote. Rum, Katim and Republicanism, has a melancholy sound these days. **** The last act of the admission of the two Dakota’s as States,was com¬ pleted November 2nd.: the President that day signing the proclamation rc quirod by law for their admission- There is an article on prohibition in the constitution of each Btate. Nor;h and South Dakota entered the Union at the same moment, the first in the history of our government of twin states. **# Many farmers have been increas- ing the number of ties on the bales of cotton, and it is reported that in some places the buyers deduct two pounds for each tie in excess of six to the bale, the number ordinarily used. Judge Z/emlerson, commissioner of agriculturo wrote to Mr James Tobin, of the Augusta cotton exchange, to know if this is so. In reply, Mr. Tobin says that in Augusta, in all cases, cotton covered with cotton bagging, and having an extra number of ties, the weight of the extra ties must be deducted. Mr. Tobin thinks the putting on of extra ties unwise. It simply compli¬ cates a question that is already hard one to handle. *** The elections on Tuesday resulted in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Nebraska going republican; Now York, New Jersey, Maryland, Vir- ginia, Mississippi, Ohio and democratic; with large democratic gains in many precints. The result is looked upon as a great victory to the democrats, involving more than ordinary significance, THE CAUSES. Iowa, that used to roll up republi¬ can majorities of 75,000 now, for the first time iu 35 years* elects a demo- era tie governor* Ohio, the “hot bed,” of republicanism* chooses for gov- ernor a democrat with a handsome majority. Prohibition doubtless had something to do with the result; pos¬ sibly the revolt of the Farmers Alii a nee againt monopolies; perhaps minor causes have had some influ¬ ence, but people are getting tired of “bloody shirt shriekers the stirrers up of strife and bitterness between the- two »>rent sections of the country; and they are alarmed at the govern¬ ment interference in state elections; the threatened centralized power; the encroachment on state’s rights, and the subversion of the fundamental principles of our government* The loud voice of the majority of the thinking peoplc'of great states, has this week been uttered 1 the republi¬ can leaders, J. and especially the pres¬ ent administration in Washington, sboihl give good heed to ibe lesson. AMD PIEDMONT I NDUSTRIAL JOURNAL In THOSE CHILDREN. Many years ago there lived in Germany a man named • 4 roebel. . _ TT* heart went out in love to children, and he devoted his life to teaching and devising the best methods of '* rearing and educating them, l believed their education should com- mencc at birth; ho invented method. of instruction; composed cradle songs, and taught mothers how they could commence to develop the fac¬ ulties of the little babes, almost as soon as their eyes were fairly opened. When the children reached the age of two years he would have them in school, and taught by teachers thor*> oughly trained in the system and methods of instruction invented by him. These schools he called Kin¬ dergartens, or childgardens; a name expressing the idea that children, like flowers in gardens, should re¬ ceive the most careful culture, their physical beings should be developed in symmetrical beauty and strength, their intellectual and moral natures unfolded and expanded to their high¬ est attainable perfections. Froebel’s ideas were adopted by educators. Kindergartens have been established in cities and large towns everywhere throughout the Christian world, and the spirit of Froebel is becoming universal. it is not the purpose in this ar¬ ticle to explain the system of Froe¬ bel,hut to call attention, and empha¬ size the fundamental idea of his, viz., that children should constantly be in the schools, under t he proper training and instruction of competent teach- ers; unless the flowers are well culti- vated in the gardens, they become sickly, stunted in growth, and weeds spring up and choke them, Fathers and Mothers of Toccoa, and other towns; how many of your children are not in the schools? How many of them are in danger of being like beautiful flowers, choked with weeds, their intellects dwarfed by Want of culture, and their moral na¬ tures endangered by evil influences that surround them on every side? Of course you love thorn: you ***“ «*«» «» be good boy. and gifb, and grow up to be good men and women; good citizens- esteemed and honored by alhbe successful mbusiness* and able to provide for those who may be dependant on them for sup- port, To this end an education is ncces* sary; and every child should be in school for 10 months in the year dur- ing school age: every day one is ab- sent,is a loss which never can be re- covered. Possibly some parents may say. “I had little or no education myself, therefore my children can get along With but little.” It must be borne in mind that times have changed since you* fath* ers and mothers were boys and girls. Then, good schools were few? how*, they are many; then, educational ad¬ vantages were limited; now they are abundant; the universal cry now is education; children everywhere are bein g trained in the schools. Pa* rent ^ if > ou g ive y° ur children only the education you obtained,you leave them in a lower position relatively in SoC ' et T than yon occupy Their compan me n with whom they are COTrt P e to in life sstruggles, have ad» vantages su}>erior to those you enjoy* ed, and you thus place your children at a greater disadvantage than your parents left you. T^ ™nng generation of children n ™st fight life's battles m att age of immense activitiesdn an age of won- derful progress inkttowledge,in science in arts; old customs, and slow meths ods of doing things are passing away everything is being done by machin¬ ery, by steam, by lightning; men's thoughts run in new channels; success depends less on muscle power, and more and more on brain force? those who lack this brain power will be left behind. It is the province of the schools to develop mental powers and awaken latent energies, by means of which the youth now’ approaching manhood, will be able to hold own amid the great activities which they must needs compete. Parents,keep your children in school, so they will be qualified to cope with the men and women with whom they arc to associate and compete in life s great struggles. The Toccoa TOCCOA, GA.
