The Dictiowry In the Schoolroom
Brine mtereated in all that jiei-tainK to
I In* Hirce#KS and nwfulnms of our pubßc
* ‘Vink, we would call the attention of
edie ators to the value of early training
in the Tine of language and the neal of
more thorough inutruction in the knowl
jwirro of words. We mean the English
language, and for the most part, good
old Anglo-Saxon words.
We are constrained to believe that in
fur too many schools the ability to name
words rapidly as they occur in the read
ing lesson, in the geography or the his
tory is allowed to suffice as the full meas
ure of instruction in the department of
language, and the pupils thus pass to
other fields without the ability to either
correctly spell or properly pronounce
the words they have used, and with no
kn owledge at all of their true significa
tion or wealth of meaning.
The derivation or history of words as
found in the dictionary often oj>ens up a
most delightful field tor study and inves
tigation, and through this the learner's
ambition to attain greater power and
flyie-w.v in the use of words might be
incited. We believe that the learned
man 'ih most dearly distinguished from
the ignorant by bis greater command of
language and wider klowledge of the
power of words. A\ hat better field can
there be, then, for the development of a
greater usefulness on the part of our
public schools than through a larger
arid more intelligent study of our own
vocabulary?
Fortunately we have a standard
authority for the meaning and use of
English words, a recognized and univer
sally conceded court of last resort, an
open “Webster,” where are recorded for
the use of all, the decisions of the best
writers and speakers upon the correct
usage of every item that goes to make
ur> the beautiful whole of our mother
tongue.
We believe that our public schools will
attain a greater usefulness, and be more
successful in teaching language just in
the ratio that they send their pupils to
the dictionary with more frequency,
teaching them to study its record more
intelligently and abide by its decisions
more steadfastly. It ifeeds no argu
ment to prove that every schoolroom
should be supplied with a copy of Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionary, as the
foundation for improved language work.
Asa further means to this desirable end,
we can make no better recommendation
than that every pupil should acquire the
habit of constant reference to authority
by having at his desk a copy of an
abridged edition of Webster, and that
every teacher should be competent to
give instruction In its proper use.
Without disparaging the other abridg
ments, we regard Webster's Academic
“Dictionary as the best of all for the
hourly use of pupils, and when it is re_-
jii'Mubercd that its usefulness will survive
the pupil’s school days, and in the ab
sence of the unabridged, become the
family dictionary, it is not too much to
ft Y.v that it should be found on the desk
of every pupil in our schools above the
mof-1 primary grades.
I,*i\v Relatiiig to l*ttl>ll3 Schools,
jiewuan Herald !
Wo have lmd frequeht inquiries ('dtieevil 1
irtg the operations of the law enacted by
the last Legislature revising and chang
ing the public school system in this State
The impression seems to have obtained
that only one school is allowed in a
school district, unless the second school
should contain as many as twenty-five
pupils. This is true in one sense; but the
State School Commissioner has inter
preted this provision of the law so liber
ally and sensibly as to meet every diffi
culty that may arise in the organization
of schools in the country districts. I nder
the ruling of the State School Commis
sioner, county boards of education are
authorized to establish sub-districts
wherever needed, provided the school
sought to be established is not nearer
than three miles to another school al
ready in existence. If anew school is lo
cate;! at the proper distance (three miles)
from other schools the board will recog
nize it and form anew school district so
as to embrace it, regardless of the num
ber of pupils. Acting under this ruling
of the State School Commissioner, this
precedent has already been established in
Coweta county, several sub-districts hav
ing been*formed to accommodate locali
ties that could not furnish the twenty
five pupils required for the organization
of a s<*eond school in a district.

’ain't editorial discussion in its columns

The Agricultural Multiplication Table.
fhcehotTJge.l
“How many acres of land have you?”
“One hundred.”
“Then you have bought some more:
you had only twenty.”
4 ‘No, I haven’t bought any, I have not
j*ented any. Still I claim that I have
got one hundred acres.
“How do you make that out?”
“Just this way. I bought twenty
acres, I plowed it thoroughly, utilizing
every foot of ground, making on an
average, one acre equal to two. That
gave me forty acres."
“Just so.”
‘‘l then fertilized the land so that one
acre produced as much as three did be
fore. That made me twenty acres more
making the total sixty."
“I see.”
“Then I practiced jiersistent cultiva
tion, which I can prove will double the
yield of an litre. Twenty acres more,
you see makes me eighty.”
“Yes. and now for the other twenty.
The other twenty I got by using only
the liest of seed and by putting brains
and system into my work. And to prove
that my farm containes one hundred
acres 1 am willing to compare results
with the average hundred acres any
where in this section of the country.
Things equal to the same thing are equal
to each other, you know.”
We heard a presiding elder say the
other day: “I am doing my best to get
the country churches to have service
every Sunday.” We never pass on Sun
day morning a closed church without a
feeling of oppressive loneliness coming
over us. The very silence of the place is
a protest against its wants of harmony
with Christianity. Go, brother, invite
your neighbors, open your church, read
the scriptures, sing and pray, and the
next time the ‘circuit rider’ comes he will
preach a better sermon.
The first negro legislator of Rhode

has ever elected a single colored legisla

THE DEMOCRATIC STANDARD UN
FURLED TO THE BREEZE.
And the Contest of 1888 Opened
WITH THE CONSTITUTION BATTLING
IN THE FRONT RANKS.
The triumphs of the Constitution in reporting
the campaign of 1884 are well remembered! It
w 7 as the first Southern paper to announce Cleve
land’s election and majority, and Atlanta had
celebrated that event before other Southern cities
knew of it! The Constitution led all Southern
papers in 1884,
Gur arrangements for reporting
THE CAMPAIGN OF 1888
are fuller than ever before. We have established
correspondents in Boston, New York, Cincinnati,
Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco—and mem
bers of the Constitution staff will make frequent
trips through the doubtful States.
Through special and exclusive arrangements
with the Boston Herald, New York World, Chi
cago News and St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the
progress of the campaign will be detailed in the
Constitution as in no other Southern newspaper.
Special letters will be printed weekly from the six
leading correspondents of the country.
The Constitution stands, as it has always
stood, high in the confidence of democratic lead
ers, and their views will be expressed through its
columns. We pledge our readers that the great
campaign in 1888 will be
Reported With a Fullness
and accuracy never before attempted by a South
ern newspaper. Subscribe now for the campaign !
The daily will be furnished for SI.OO per month,
