WHERE SBE EDUCATES
Her Children—The Sueccu of These
Institutions Unparalleled—The
tinwd Work Being Done
Towards Educating
the Children of
Athens.
There are always to be found some men
who kick at public school education.
But lew of that class are to be found in
Athens, however.
And this is caused by the fact that our
city schools are so thoroughly proficient
as to remove nearly all the criticism even
of chronic kickers.
The work they are doing in Athens is a
grand one. It is one that challenges the
admiration of all who investigate it. A
city can do no better service to its people
thun see to it that the children are af
forded ample facilities for securing a good
education. And Athens is not lagging be
hind in this respect.
The city schools were organized in 1886
with £ C Branson as superintendent and
W. L. Clay as principal of the Washing
ton street school. At that time only 325
while scholars were enrolled.
Today there are in the schools over
etveu hundred white children, which
shows a tremendous stride during the six
years of the schools’ existence.
The schools are now under the efficient
management of Superintendent G. G.
Bond, who is an educator of rare merit.
The school attendance is divided out as
follow;:
Washington street school,
Meigs street,
Oconee street,
Baxter street,
East Athens, (colored,)
West Athens, (colored,)

Total,
The corps of teachers in each school is a
able one, and no schools in Georgia boast
mote competent instructors than the city
schools of Athens,
Toe following are the city school teach
ere:
Washington street—Mr. D. L. Earnest,
principal; Misses M. Brumby, Hattie
Proctor, H. Hcdgson, Su6ie Newton, S. R
Whaley, S. Brumby and C. Patman.
Baxter street—(grammar school)- Miss
Annie Linton, prinoipal; Misses A. Napier,
A. Lyle, A. Hodgson, and M. Russell.
Meigs street-(primary)—Miss M. J.
Boper, principal; Misses Kate Chandler
and Dorine R >wls.
Oconee street—(primary)—Miss A. Pat
man, principal; MUses F. Bird, E Tuoru"
ton and M. Kennard.
WeBt Athens (colored)—A. J. Carey,
principal, and six teachers.
East Athens (colored)—J. R. Mack,
principal, and four teachers.
The BuamesB department is one of the
best features of the W .shington street
school and is under the charge of Mr. C.
P. Wilcox, Jr. It consists of a course in
stenography, type-writing and book-keep-
ijg. Tnis class although but a few months
old numbers eighteen members.
The equipment of the city schools is per
fect. A large laboratory of physical ap
paratus is at the Washington sireuschoo,
and all the schools are Well supplied with
charts, maps, etc.
The Washington street schoo) pr< p ires
boys for the entrance into the University
of Georgia, and the present ninth grade is
larger by one half than it has ever been.
One of the most valuable possessions of
the schools is the Branson Library, ataneo
• in-1888 by Supt. Branson, and added to
each year by the Board or Education. The
library now numbers 3,082 volumes, and
they are read with avidity by the school
children. No more choice lot of books is
td be lound anywhere in Georgia, and the
advantages derived from it are numerous.
. » Tne city took a step forward in educa
tional matters this year when it built the
two new school bouses for negroes, and
transformed the elegant Baxter street
school building from a school for Colortd
children to a school for white children. -
feThc people ol Athens appreciate the ad
vantages offered by the city schools for the
education of the children of the city, and
year by year the. attendance increases
wonderfully.

tHE KEELEY INSTITUTE AT
INDIAN SPRINGS, GA.
One of the Greatest Institutions In the
South—The Cure of the Liquor and
Opium Habi s Ceitain—Dr. Harris
Hall, Physician In Charge.
The Keeley Care Company have opened
a sanitarium at beautiful Indian Springs.
The building 8 cured for the institution is
large and commodious, and having been
built for a summer hotel, is esptcmlly
adapt* d to the busiut ss. The bouse is
comparatively new snd is furnished
throughout with entinly new furniture.
The rooms are all large and well ventila
ted, aui almost every room has a g.iate
or fire-place. Toe offices and reception
room* are on the first floor. Also the din-
iag rooms of the physician in charge, and
the dir ing room and kitchen. The uppe T
floor is dtvoled entirely to sleeping rooms.
Tue lecation irone of the most sightly in
the vicinity ol the spang. From the
north piazzas, the church steeple at Jack-
60a can easily be seen, and the south
piazzas command a beautiful landscape
view of the surrounding country for miles
in every direction. The institute is only
a short distance from the spring, yet in a
quiet place, where puison s so desiring it,
can have absolute privacy-and retirement
from the outside world. The boarding
accommodations at the institute are ample
to accommodate all who may desire to
board and room iD the building. Patients,
however, preferring to board outside can
do so. Here uo coercion or restraint
whatever is placed on the patient. He en
joys perfect liberty, and baa the freedom
of the town.
It is no prison, asylum or hospital,
Kueley patients are furnished with liquor
or opium (as the case may be) as long as
the condition of their case demands iu
The surroundings of the Iudian Springs
I islitute are ail harmonious, and we know
of no place better adapted lor a sanitarium
than this. Here the unfortunate victims
of opium and whisky can forever be re
leased from a bondage worse than pen or
tongue cau describe, and we advise all so
afflicted to avail themselves of this in
fallible c ire.
Dr. II trria Hall, ihe pi ysit ian io charge
is well and favorably known in tbis sec
tion. His services as an assistant in the
Sta Asylum, for the past twelve years,
gives him advantages that but few physi
cians enjoy and will be a great help to him
in the treatment of these diseases. His
kind and sympathetic nature, and the
gentle maaner in which be bandies those
under his care, will make for him a life
long friend of every patient. Dr. Hail
before taking charge of the Indian Spring
Institute £pent several weeks at Dwight,
Illinois, studying Dr. Keeky’s methods of
treatment, and all persons taking the
treatment from him, can be assured of
getting the identical treatment given at
Dwight. The Keeley people are to be
congratulated on their aelec'ion of a phy
sician for tbis Institute, and the people or
Georgia should offer all the encouragement
possible to the home Institute at Indian
Springs.—Macon N*>ws.

When he wrote her a note saying, “I would be

On Wednesday to call once again,”
His astonishment grow at this word he re

“Yes,” said the editor, os he put his gun
brush into the ink bottle and tried to past*
on a clipping with his pen; “yes, the grea*
fault of uewspaper contributors is care
lessness. Indeed,” he continued, as h*
dropped the copy he had been writing into
the waste paper basket arid marked “Edi
torial” across the corner of a poem enti
tied 'An Ode to Death,” “contributors are
terribly careless. You would be surprised,”
said he, as he clipped out a column of
fashion notes and labeled them “Agricul
ture,” “to see the slipshod writing that
comes into the editorial sanctum. Mis
spelled, unpunctuated, written ou both
sides of the sheet, illegible, ungrammatical
stuff. Contributors are terribly careless.
They are”
Just then the office boy came tjf, in that
dictatorial and autocratic manner he has,
and demanded more copy, and the editor
handed him the love letter he had just
written to liis sweetheart.—Exchange.

A captain who was one of the. school
board in a New England seaport town was
visiting the school one afternoon, and heard
the class read from Webster’s address at
Plymouth.
“Who was Webster?” asked the captain.
“A statesman,” said one boy. “An or
ator,” said another.
“But what is a statesman?” asked the
captain.
“A man who goes around making
speeches,” answered a small boy.
“That’s not just exactly right,” said the
captain smiling. “Now I go around mok
log speeches once in awhile, but I’m not a
statesman at all.”
“I know what a statesman Is,” spoke np
a bright little fellow. “It’s a man who
goes around making good speeches.
