COUNTY HOARDS OF EDUCA¬
TION m
In Georgia there doubtless are
Mime lawyers and justices of the
peace who have but a slight acquaint¬
ance with Blackstone and the code
of the state; some jurymen who do
not know the difference between
plaintiff end defendant; some doctors
whose knowledge (J diseases an
t* edh'ines is very limited; some
sri ool teachers who can’t master
fraotionsand grammar; some preach¬
ers who have never heard of theology;
and some editors who can’t write, but
who purloin the ideas and words of
others;—but, in our opinion, not one
r t t l-.ase classes contains, in propor¬
tion to numbers, one-half as many
incompetent men as the average
county board of education. Present
company is excepted, for judging
from what we have heard of the
board of education of this
cm nty, we suppose that it is com-
posed of men qualified to look after
the educational interest of Habersham
and a few other counties may be as
fortunate; put the average board of
education is a “daisy.”
In many comities the idea seems
to prevail that any man who can run
a two-horse farm succe-sfuly is ca¬
pacitated to select text books and
direct tho management of schools.
It usually happens ihat these boards
are composed of good citizens, but
man who arc no more titled to judge
of the merit* of a grammar, an arith -
metic or a histo'y than uhe girl of the
period is to look after the domestic
affairs of the household, or the dude
to do brain work.
The big publishing houses of the
North employ « brew cl men to repre¬
sent them. These post themselves as
to the length of time a series of text
l) H'k» has been adopted in the various
counties. Just before that time ex¬
pires tho shrewd representative of the
book concern hies him to the county
site. He sees and talks most affably
with the one or two members of the
hoard lie sees there, and hires a horse
a nd buggy and goes to the homes of
the others, lie is a plausible talker
and makes himself so agreeablo and
shows the ni^rit of bis books so plainly
that the simple fanner takes it for
granted that the books be looks at are
the best ones in the world. Sometimes
the agent induces the board to hold a
meeting. He carries the members to a
hotel and foots the bill. They adopt
his books without having read a sin le
page.
Occasionally several agents of pub¬
lishing houses meet in a town, and
each harangues the board of education
If one of the agents has a friend
who is a member of the board, the
books which that agent represents
will be selected; if all are strangers
the best talker will win.
In a certain county of this state
the board of education met to select
textbooks. Two or three of the
member? had expressed themselves
as being in favor of certain books,
»rd asked another member what his
opin’t n was. The one addressed had
eaten dinner at the hotel at the ex-
penseofihe (luent of D.
& U'O. “Well’’ s:;id ho, not ,rkllowu i=

of a similar nature might be given.
The fact that such utterly incom-
petent men are allowed to he meai'
hers ( f boards of education accounts
for much of the dissatisfaction that is
caused by theT:frequent change of
text books in our schools.
As before remarked, the average
hoard of education in Georgia is a
“daisy.” May it soon cease to blossom
in ignorance.
COMMENTS Oh TIIE PRESS.
Here’s our editorial ry, Brothers
Edwards'& Keese, Tnccoa News. A
heart}’ success to jroa.- Savannah

J. J. Howell is now editor of the
Toccoa News and that paper lias
brightened tip considerably. We wish
it much success under its new man¬
agement.—Banks Comity‘Gazette.

Mr. J. J. Howell, formerly of The
Luaikin Independent, is nowithe edi-
tor of The Toccoa News, and-he makes
a very creditable paper of it. Ed-
wards and Keese are the proprietors
of the paper.—Atlanta Constitution
We have received a copy of the
News’ published at Toccoa,
Habersham county, Ga., and edited
by Mr. J. J. Howell. The News is a
sheet and gives evidence that
right man is in the sanctum. Air.
Howell is not only a good writer, but
is an efficient newspaper man in ev¬
ery particular. We wish The News
that success which it so justly merits
under its present management.—

Tiie first issue of the Toccoa News
of Toccoa, Ga., gotten out since Mr.
J. J. Howell, formerly of the Inde¬
pendent, took charge of it, now lies
on our desk before us. Edwards and
Keese are proprietors of the paper,
and J. J, Howell editor. Mr. Keese
was a citizen of our town three years
and his excellent business qualifiea-
tiom fully prepare him for the news¬
paper work. Mr. Howell, the editor,
is an experienced newspaper man, and
will doubtless make The News an
excellent paper. The News is a neat
and newsy paper, aud starts out un¬
der its new management with a bright
future before i f . Lumpkin L.dc-
pendent.
The reading public lias enjoyed
some articles written by Mrs. W. II.
Felton, which have appeared recently
in the Atlanta Constitution. In the
first letter Mrs. Felton criticised very
severely Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, of
Atlanta, and Dr. Warren Candler,
of Emory college, because both of
these distinguished divines publicly
said that Jay Gould had gone to hell.
In her next letter she fairly roasted
Dr. Hawthonre for being interested in
speculation and medicine companies
while a preacher, and made things
warm for Dr. Candler for having
favored assessing Methodist churches
in Georgia to raise money for Emory.
Mrs. Folton writes like angry women
talk, and her articles make spic
red dmg.

It has been cold here, but just
think of The thermometer’s being 35
