EDUCATION AND THE WAR.
The education of our children ha*
for a long time been one 6f the ee-
•entially important feature* of our
life program but nerer before, it
aeeme, has this particular work held
such vital significance as it does now
when the nations of the earth are
gripped in a death struggle that is
a test of the mental and physical
equipment of the men and women of
Die nations Involved. America’s
greatest minds and the moat perfect
of her physical forces are being laid
upon the altar for this magnificent
> and righteous cause. How patent is
• the present need for men and women
well equipped mentally and physical
ly for service! This is being clearly
demonstrated by the types of service
that those enlisted in the great busi
ness of war are rendering. The
places of importance are being fill
ed by those best prepared mentally
and physically.
Nothing that has ever happened
has revealed with moire ■ startling
frankness the line of demarcation be
tween the 'mentally and physically fit
and those less fortunate, but while we
are overcome with shame at the rev
elation of this mental and physical
'depravity that we have hitherto, tol
erated, we tako courage, for the rev
elation itself will prove a most cogent
force in inspiring us to a profound
resolve to never again brook so
shameful a condition.
Therefore the importance of main
taining the schools at pre-war Stand
ard at least, and if possible improve
them. Teachers, school officials, pa
rents and pupils, should strive as they
have never striven before to keep the
schools at top strength, because tho
men and women who 'nre in. the
growing today will have grave prob
lems with .which to grapple, tomor
row and they need to be given every
facility possible with which to meet
them.
A well rounded education is one
which makes for both mental and
physical development, the present
crisis demands men of brawn, as well
as brain. A great mind cannot at
tain its greatest possibilities if it is
handicapped by a weak and undevel
oped body. Vigorous health and a well
balanced mental development arc
priceless treasures and well worth a
life time of effort to gain and keep.
Let’s try to give'them to the children
of this present unparalleled age.
GOWER CANDIDATE
FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE
LIVELY RACE IS PROMISED
FROM HIS ENTRY—FOR FOUR
YEARS WAS IN THE LEGISLA
TORE FROM CRISP.
Hon. O. T. Gower, Who formerly
was for some years prominent In pol
itics, has announced for Judge of the
Cordele Circuit, and he and his friends
are now actively at work. Much fav.
orable comment has been provoked by
his announcement, and the contest
will, no doubt, prove a very lively one.
Mr. Gower is a native of Walton
County, Georgia, and received his
early school training in the High
Schools of Monroe, from which he
went to Peabody Normal and the Uni
versity of Nashville, and from the lat
ter institution received his A. B. de
gree. After graduating he taught for
three years as principal of the Ssn-
dersville high school, going from
there to the law school of Mercer
University, graduating there in law
in 1905. He was first honor man in
the law school and received the "high
est oratorical honors while there.
Immediately after praduating at
Mercer, Mr. Gower came to Gordele
and began the active practice of law,
to which he has devoted himsejf since.
In recent years he has been promi
nently connected with much import
ant,litigation both civil and criminal,
and has always been found capable as
a lawyer and faithful to the interests
of hi* clients.
For four years Mr. Gower was
member from Crisp in the Georgia
legislature, and while there was very
active, being instrumental in placing
on the statute books much legisla
tion of benefit to the state. Among
other responsibilities he was chairman
of the Joint Committee from the Sen
ate and House for investigating in-
surancec ondltions in the state, and it
was through his efforts our insur
ance laws were modernized by the en
actment of the law now in force.
A man of High character and worth
Mr. Gower Is recognized as one pos
sessed of a keen sense of honor, and
an appreciation of justice and fair
dealing wihch well suit him for judic
ial office.—Cordele Sentinel, Aug. 16.
Friends of Judge Crum are freely
predicting that he will carry each of
thee ounties in the circuit. He has
sefved only a short'term by appoint
ment; his record on the bench has
been exceptionally good, hts decisions
prompt, saving expense to the county,
good judge, is too old for the army,
and uniformly fair. He has made n
and should be elected to a full term,
