The Cleveland Progress. Entereri nt the I’cit-office it Cleveland M Matt Matte", Jan. il<>, 'SIS. Official Organ of White county Clinlut Ci„ Feb., 3, 1893. Our Common Schools. The public Bcliool syMoni of Georgia it> good only mo fur ns it goes, mid it fulls fur short of the requirement* of tlm dnv. The main trouble lies in that out standard of requirements is so low, Hint almost, any twelve yeat old bov, of averatrn intelligence could answer n suflicient number of the questions to insure him u teachers license. It, is positively disgusting, it is a glowing shame that, teachers (?) should he licensed to instruct, who are not sufficiently advanced as to know when, and how, to write properly, the pronoun I. The editor of “The Dalton Ar gus," speaking along this line, says lie recently “asked a coun try lad why he hurl quit school, “I was wasting time” lie said; “I could touch the teacher in our settlement.” We know of in stances like this in White county, and it !k true of the entire state. Our public school system needs renovating, disinfecting and air ing, besides raising the standard to such a height that only com petent teachers can secure license. Oh I shade of Dickons, ret urn to us; walk our highways and by ways with the troops of school children; mingle with them in the play grounds and ntthodesk ; learn of the imposition practiced this day and time by so called public instructors, and in your desire to rigid wrong things, and see justice done, collect tho edi tions of wonderful Nicolas Nick- toby und make of them one grand hon-fire, and by its light write another satire, more wonderful, brilliant and powerful; only shiftiug your scones from Corn Avail to Georgia. James Q. Blaine. .Tames G. Blaine, the foremost, figure in American politics for t wenty years is dead, 'l he pen pie of a nation mourn his death, us that of a ty pical, and patriotic American. Tho Republican party is now minus a broad minded and con servative louder, and search her ranks closely, not one can lie found with qualifications necessa ry to fill his place. Possessed of a wonderful personal magnetism, no man in tho nation 1ms been so successful in swaying the masses; no one man of the nation hud ever such a personal following, Yet, ho fell short of all his high aims. Sweeping nil obstacles beforo, his wonderful power stop ped dead at the supremo moment and forced him to surrender to inferior men, a leadership, justly his own. Our Public Well. Just back of the court house there is a deep hole in the ground —popularly supposed to he a well; well, it is not. If wo un derstand aright this is ono of the county’s public institutions, and ns such, wo voice the sentiment of a groat many of our citizens when wo say that it should re ceive tho attention of our honour able body of Commissioners. There is nothing wrong about this well, except that it is totally wanting in that liuitl which wells are usually supposed to supply. No sir, you may pump, and pump, and all your pumping will not bring up as much water as would quench the thirst of an English sparrow. 'Why iu>t sink it a few feci (deeper, gentlemen? “The common school teachers should be given every advantage of normal training, in order to tit them for tho work they have in charge. This is one great and glaring deficiency in our present system of education, which must be remedied if we over intend to achieve any great results in this line. Georgia, according to cen sus figures, ranks among the most illiterate states .of the union, and this a state of affairs our people should never permit to last.”— Athens Brunei An Unseasonable Joke ‘Ben,” remarked Jay, one sul try afternoon this week, while the harmonica was 2.345 degrees be- >w Arizona, “there's a preacher in Atlanta, who says we are not in hell, but only in hades.” May,” replied Ben. winking Ins other eye at the thermometer, “if this is not hell, and a heap of it, 1 would like to know, in the language of our friend, Tom. Watson, where we are ut?” And just then his Satanic Maj esty came along, and hit Ben a lovc-liek over the head with a red-hot silver spoon, about twen ty-live feet, long, and weighing a ton. “You fellows lot that preacher alone and attend to your own business,” said his majesty of the cloven hoof and. forked tail, “that person of the female persuasion has got him in a hotter place than this. If I brought him here he would take a had cold in two ootids.”—Madisonian. lid It oi'ii S Clin If. A curtain {food lady named Fulton, Vowed not to leave ultfii of a pelt on, Two well -known I).

Last week we attempted a cal culation of the unused wulorpoAv- or of the streams in White coun ty. Wo figured over four 24x85 sheets of paper, and obtained a result that went further in enu meration than avo ever counted.

Wo want tin' Masonic fraterni ty, whoso quarters are directly overhead, to either provide pro- vender for their goat, or chain him safely, so he can not escape from his quarters.

We don't earn for anything particularly, except tho manu script poetry, which we intended to run through Websters l'iu- bridged and sell to the magazines is original productions.

Enrroit:—That streak of snow that struck you in tho back and aroused you from that tine dream during the stress of weath er had a good ell'cei, or avo so judge by the result, for it seemed to give occasion to sift grain out of “editorial chuff.'’ Say, what speed did the north- pole make when it was heading straight for Cleveland? 1’lease inform me of its arrival, when it gets there, as I want to sec the old thing—it must be old for I’ve been hearing it talked about a long time, but never got to see it yet. How do you recoil it looks anyway? It must be tho spindle end of the axletrce the world turns on and I guess its tliintblc- skeined at that and well greased, but what about the spindle ul the other end? There must be a south pole too, for if it didn’t turn at both ends it wouldn’t run straight, it Avouldn’t turn over even. But what are you talking about? The earth run, the earth turnover? Some folks don’t be lieve it, hut it so all the same. 1 am going to show you. The way things are, the earth must roll over and face the sun all around in a day, or else the sun must go around the earth every day. Y\ iii. lt would be easiest to do? The earth has to go whizzing to roll over on itself once a day. If being twenty-live thousand miles around it, the suifaee of it has to travel that far to gel ’round. But how many miles would the sun have to travel to go around the earth? Think of it, twenty-live thousand miles would be nothing! Ask the school hoys to count it. up—the Cleveland school boys and the Mossy creek school hoys, and all the school boys—ask I hem if they can cipher it up, supposing the sun to We ninety-live millions of miles from the rarth. It is easy example to work. Just see how many millions and million of miles that great big Avorld, so many times larger than ours, would have to go to get ’round tho earth. Well hoys, have you got the answer—here it is, five hundred and seventy millions! We all know the sun don’t go on at that rate. And then if the sun has to go around the earth it leaves the earth nothing to stand on, because tho sun would have to bo allowed an open apace to •wing around in. If the earth had anything to stand on that thing would have to stand on something else, and so on forev er and there would ho no vising and setting of the sun. So tin* earth Hoots out in space nud has to move—it has to move to keep its proper place in tho universe because motion is one of the laws of nature, mid things must, move to obey a law of the great power that created them. You see, there are Venus and Jupiter and Mars and Saturn and the earth and a half a dozen otheis that be long to the same Geography class (all tied on to the sun by an in visible rope) and they would kick up a mighty rumpus if one of them should lose its place in the line. They balance each other in tho race. We can’t feel it whirl around because it moves without any jars or jolts and the atmos phere moves in harmony with it and its all the same to us as if it stood still. But I am getting too far off from your dream Mr. edi tor. Yon a u Mountain - . 1*. S. l’lease loll the boys, that at this rate of tearing around —live hundred and seventy mil lions of miles in twenty-four hours, the sun would tire the un iverse and burn up the Solar sys tem, if no more. Y. M. P. S. No. 2—Jan., 28th.— Since writing the above, Mr. editor, I see your announcement of the arrival of the north-pole. 1 should have been ahead of it, but I am a slow coach and you must excuse me. Please hold on to it ’til J come. Y. M. The tirst number of the revived Daiiuoneua Nituiet lies before us, sparkling at as many points as a north-east Georgia diamond.
