CELESTE PARRISH’S STORY
(Miss Celeste Parrish, who died at her
home in Clayton, Ga., in 1918 was an outstand
ing educator, For seven years she was 'a mem- ‘
ber of the faculty of the State Normal school
at Athens, now the Georgia State Teachers |
college, and ‘during a later period was for seven
vears superyvisor of Nortnh Georgia schools. A
portrait of Miss Parrish was presented to the |
Teachers’ college on Foungers’ Day, April iB, ‘
by the class of 1911, will be hung in the hall
of the Practice building. The following account ’
of her career, written by Miss Parrish, is fur
nished by J. 0. Martin, State Sup&rvisor of
Schools) -
(Continued From Thursday's Issue.)
By CELESTE PARRISH
At that time I had mever seen a really good
picture. A fine copy of Raphael’s school of Athens
hung in the assembly hall of the university and
several lectures upon it were given by the pro
fessor of philosophi. I listened eagerly, remained
often alone iu the hall for the pleasure of looking
at it and studying it as closely as my limitations
would allow. I think the time I spent simply in
looking at it without moving or speaking was pro.
ductive of the best results. In the regular sessions
of the summer school, I came in contact with
teachers who were more skillful than I, and de
termining to do better work, myself, I examined
their methods and tfied to select all that was good
and adapt it to my particular conditions. I aimed
at other improvements. Hitherto, T had no cgm
trol over my voice and it was often disagreeably
ioud and harsh. My articulatfon was very rapid
and indistinct. A fairly good teacher of elocution
happening to be at the university, I joined a pri
vate class which she was teaching and, at the end
of six weeks, had gained a basis from which I
could work out my own salvation., I continued
the work for a numher of years, taking within
that time private lessons in vocal music and tra
ing, and, at the end of six weeks, had and a pleas
ant manner of speaking.
I had been dn extremely awkward girl. My aunts|
had been annoyed and sometimes exasperated by
it, but they did not know how to help me and their
continual sarcasm only made me the more self
conscious and, therefore, the more awkward. To
remedy this I took private work in calisthenics,
walking six miles under a broiling mid-day sun to
reach the teacher. I am not quite sure whether
the actual exercises or my faith in them wielded
the more potent influence, but, at any rate, I be
came, after a year or two, a less awkward woman.
Through all the period described, I had read
industriously and with high enjoyment. Scott,
Dickens, © Thackeray, George FEliot, Longfellow,
Tennyson, Carlyle, Shakespeare and Macauley had
been the employment of my vacations. 1 read, also,
translations of Greek and Latin authors with
much pleasure, had access to a few good maga
zines, was a member of a reading club composed
of the most cultivated peaple of the town and was
fast becoming what I had always longed to be—
a cultivated woman. ;
Political complications arising in the public,
school system, I resigned in disgust and accepted
a position in the “college,” but a year later a
“state female normal school’ was established in
my state and I went as a student to that. At the
end of six weeks I was invited to become a teacher
the following lear, continuing meanwhlie, my stu
dent work. 2 ;
I fell easily into the work which was the de
spair of many of the students, and taught my first
practice lesson so well that the critic teacher in
risted that I had been trained. I soon completed
the course, was given the entire charge of the de
partment of mathematics, was invited at once to a
position in the “summer normals” of the state
and soon found myself in demand for that sort of
work. In these schools I became acquainted with
teachers from all parts of the state, and finding
many of them face to face with difficulties which
had confronted me in my earligr experience, I was
able to help them. Silver and gold I had none,
for all that I earned above my bare expenses had
always been used for those who had claims upon
me, but I know that I gave fresh courage to many
a soul fainting under heavy burdens who would,
otherwise, have believed effort useless.
After a few years I began to plan a year's
study at a great university, but calamity came
again, the path of duty was plain, and I worked
on. \
Years passed on, and I was 38 years old, but I
was not less determined to' have a college train.
ing than I had been in my youth. Financial pres
sure was partly removed and 1 obtained leave of
absence to study for a year in the University of
Michigan, specializing in mathematics and astron
omy. Up to this time I had studied only elemen
tary algebra, geometry and trigonometry, and as
far as any practical knowledge went, had taught
myself these. 1 asked how to be allowed to-take
higher algebra, analytical geometry and calculus
at the same time. The request was reluctantly
granted and I succeeded in the undertaking. I had
studied only the most elementary geometry, but I
plunged into the practical work and met a meas
ure of success. | formed now the fixed purpose to
take a college degree, and worked steadily toward
that end. I was obliged to return to my work in
the college at the end of the year, but I kept up
my mathematical study. Refused not only admis
sion' to, but even a correspondence course in the
university of my own state, I drove seven miles on
Saturday for a year to a small male college and
studied ‘Bowsee’s Analytical Mechanics under one
of the professors.
About this time a woman's college was estab.
lished in my state and I was called to the chair
of mathematics. I was to have charge of the phil
osophical department in addition to the mathe
matics in the infancy of the college. Psychology
and pedagegy were a part of my work, and know
ing nothing whatever of modern psychology, I went
to the summer session of Cornell university to
learn something, remaining after the close of the
session and working under the direction of the
professor of psychology until the opening of the
institution in which I was-to work. I worked hard,
recognizing my limitations and striving to over
come them.
My work in mathematics back in the “college”
prospered. Finding my limitations in psychology
still too great. for successful work, and hungering
for more knowledge of it on my own account, I
applied to the professor at Cornell for correspond
ence work, but he refused. Finally my need be
came so imperative that I wrote, “You must help

THE GARDEN CLUBS OF GEORGIA
The annual meeting of the Garden Clubs
of Georgia which convened in this city to
day, brought a goodly number of promi
nent women from every section of the
\state. While the members of the Garden
Clubs of Georgia came to Athens on the
invitation of the members of the Athens
Garden Club, the citizens of the entire
community should feel an interest in this
important gathering. |
The organization of the Garden Clubsi
of Georgia has accomplished much in the
way of growing better vegetables, larger
varieties of flowers and improving and
beautifying lots, lawns and spots that
were unkept before these clubs sprang
into existence. During the past few weeks
the members of the local club have been
untiring in their work of preparing for
the coming of the visitors, These ladies
have accomplished much in not only beau
tifying the homes and the gardens, but
they have created a spirit in the commun
ity for beautifying and keeping fit flower
and vegetable gardens that will be lasting
and beneficial to the community.
On behalf of the people of Athens and
especially in the interest of the members
of the local club, the Banner-Herald ex
tends to the visiting ladies heartiest and
sincerest good wishes for a pleasant stuy

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING FOR [
: BANKS
Only in recent years has newspaper
advertising grown in popularity among
the bankers of the country. For years
banks did not advertise, but depended
upon the good will of their customers to
popularize and keep the banking business
before the public. Quite different in this
age; bank advertising is news of interest
not only to the public, but to the patrons
of the respective institutions. Thebank that
advertises attracts interest of many who
otherwise might hoard their money or de
posit it in some other bank. A bank
should inform the public as well as their
depositors and customers of its stability
and its abiltiy to serve. With such infor
mation before the public, the bank will
make friends and increase its popularity
and growth. :
Addressing a meeting of the Georgia
Bankers Association recchtly, the vice
president of the National Shawmut Bank,
of Boston, paid a high tribute to the
value of newspaper advertising in the fol
lowing remarks: :
“My bank places a very high value on
newspaper advertising.
“Naturally, customers like to read in
their papers about their banking institu
tion. llt, also, proves a considerable help
where prospects are concerned. In this
way the bank is able to identify itself
with all constructive movements and to
‘impress upon the people of the locality
that it is a very vital cog in the business
and personal life.
“Bank advertising is still in its infancy.
Not long ago there was very little bank
advertising. Then institutions blossomed
forth in an extremely conservative type of
institutional advertising, simply advertis
ing their name and size. Today, we feel
that it is the duty of our/banyy advertising
to show how our institution thinks and
how..it..aets.l iwian
If all the bankers of the country. viewed
newspaper advertising from a view
point as expressed by the Boston banker,
rot only would the banks of the country
be more prosperous, but the newspapers
and other lines of commercial enterprises
would soon show a marked improvement.
A FORLORN HCPE
A slogan, “hold with Hoover” has
been suggested by a Republican to be used
in the campaign this fall. There are many
who will not hold to Hoover for the sim
ple reason that his administration hsa been
the cause of their downfall, financially
and otherwise. A writer for the New
York Sun has taken up the slogan and
comments on it as follows:
“While millions of laborers are holding
empty dinner pails, millions of investors
are holding worthless stocks, bonds and
mortgages, millions of former home own
ers are holding valueless deeds, and the
‘whole nation is holding to, a forlorn hope.”
Yes, “hold with Hoover’”, and before
another year, not only will the unemploy
ed situation be increased, but banks,
stocks, bonds and securities will be a drug
on the market. Holding to Hoover for the
past three years has proven disastrous to
this nation; continuing to “hold with
Hoover” will mean devastation, wreck
and ruin for the nation.
A COMMUNITY PROGRAM
~ The Columbus Enquirer-Ledger has
adopted a program that is of unusual in
terest and contains many suggestions, that
if followed, it will work advantageously
for the entire community. The program
reads:
- “New industries.
Bigger pay rolls.
More community loyalty.
City-county consolidation.
~ Exteusion local trade zones.
Further beautification.
A cleaner city.
Better control of street traffic.
Lower power and light rates.”
There are many valuable suggestions
contained in the foregoing, that if follow
ed, would improve and benefit the entire
publiec.
City and county consolidation, may or
may not be a good system, but when a
community is operating as smoothly and
safely as Athens and Clarke county are
and have been for a number of years, we
see na cause for “swapping horses in the
middle of the stream”. Athens and Clarke
county enjoy administrations that are a
credit to the officials and to the commun
ity.
More than half the crimes committed in
Indiana during the past five vears were
carried out by versons under 30.

A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
BY HUGH ROWE
At this writing (Thursday
night) is is too early to make
further predictions as to the
appointment of a senator to
succeed the late Senator Wil.
liam J. Harris.
However, the news columns of
this issue may be carrying the an
nouncement, setting at rest all
doubts and fears of the numerous
interested parties and applicants.
When a vacancy occurs in a public
office, from death or 'otherwise, it
is interesting to note the activities
that are immediately aroused
among a large element of the peo
ple, who assume an interest or we
might say, a responsibility of see.
ing that the “job”? is properly
taken care of in order that the
welfare of the public may be pro
tected. Some ‘“butt in” where
angels would fear to tread and
assume an air of Importance as
pompuous as a ruler of a kingdom.
But that is presumption on the
part of the ill informed, and, too,
often, for their own good, they
suffer disappointment,
But that is human nature,
The world over, It has always
been that way and, we pre.
sume that the practice will be
continued so long as human
beings are created®in flesh and
blood.
It does seem just a little out of
the way from the line of decency
and respect to commence a cam
paign for an office before the in.
cumbent has passed on, but that
condition has been a practice since
time immemorial and we presume
that it will be kept up by this and
future generations. However, we
congratulate Governor Russell for
refusing to discuss the appoint.
ment of a successor to Senator
Harris until after the funeral serv
jces had been held Thursday. It
may be depended that whoever
Governor Russell appoints, the ap
pointee will be worthy and capa
ble of filling the office to the sat
isfaction of the people and with
credit to the governor.
From now until June 3, the
political mill will be grindng
out candidates for the various
state house offices in numbers
and in quality galore.
There will be a full set of state
house officers to be elected in the
primary on September 14, the en.
tries closing on June 3. Besides
‘there will be representatives in the
‘legislature, senators from the vari
ous senatorial districts, congress.
men and two United States sen.
ators. This year promises to be a
[year of unusual activities in poli
’tics, all of which will be looked
forward to with much interest on
the part of the voters as well as
on the part of the candidates.
While we are on the sub
ject of politics, let us not for.
get the election to be held on
the 30 of this month for the
election of a successor to the
late Arthur M. Burch, tax col
lector, TS
Mrs. A. M. Burch is the :only
candidate for the office. : She is
the widow of the late tax collec
tor, a splendid woman and thor.
oughly capacitated to fill the of.
fice. 'While the interest in woting
may be not so great, let us not
forget to go to the polls on Sat
urday, April 30 and cast our bal
lots for “Miss Lona”, showing to
her our appreciation of one so de.
serving of the office.
The suggestion made in this
column a few days ago for the
vacant lot between Washing
ton street and Hancock ave.
nue, adjoining the court house
property, be used for curb
market purposes has met with
much favor in the community.
This lot is most ideally located
for a permanent home for the curh
market. A building suitable for the
operation of a market would not
necessarily cost a large sum. Mrs
Troutman, market master, hopes
in some way to finance the pro.
ject in order that the curb mar
ket may have & permanent home
properly equipped for the conduct
of its business, convenience and
comfort for its patrons and those
who make the market possible by
growing and raising produce of all
kinds, dairy products, poultry and
meats. Such a vision has been in
the mind of Mrs. Troutman for a
number of years and we hope that
it will soon be realized,
