Teachers and school officers of the
south, your indifference in this great
work is largely responsible tor that
of the masses of the people. You
take comparatively so little interest
Hi the cause, you seeiu to care so
little whether the youth are educated
or not, the great masses of the peo
ple have concluded that there is
nothing in the tlnng after all,—only
schemes to., keep the children out of
devlltry-r-and that you are working
at the business solely for the few
paltry dollars involved.
Thank God this is not universally
true! There are many, many brave
self-sacrificing, hard-working, in
tensely interested men and women
at work in this field of unbounded
ust.fulness all over the south, and
they are doing all they can to ele
♦ate the work and to be more useful.
On these noble so tls the destiny of
the . country largely hinges. Let
them have all the encouragement and
sympathy they so much need. May
God bless aud lead them in their
work,
This means of reaching the masses
and interesting them in the education
of the children was suggested by the
fact that the people as a class, are so
meagerly informed as to the details
of the work, and, apparently* so per
fectly satisfied with their scant slock
of knowledge on the subject. If
some practical information about the
work can be disseminated aud some
interest created, the projector of this
department will feel fully repaid for
whatever energy pud thought lie
may have, or may hereafter put into
it. This department ill the eoliimus
of Tlie Journal has been made possi
ble by tlie courtesy of the manege-
meni of this paper aud its great in
terest iu the cause of common edu
cation. Let all who are interested,
and who would be glad to see the

TUB STATU NORMAL SCHOOL,
Mr. E. C. Branson, president of
the State Normal School at Athens,
is fortunate in having secured from
Mr. George Foster Peabody the sum
of $15,000 in behalf of that institu
tion. The normal school is doing
splendid work. The" state needs
tramud- teachers and many young
people are pursuing their studies un
der great disadvantages. Young
men and women of limited means are
there from every county.
Professor Branson, in discussing
which suggest the idea of scholar
ships.” j
J**vsident Brans m thinks lint $751
will cover the ’imnediuie necessities 1
of a student hi bis school for ten 1
months. There is no oilier school in
America where such advantages can
be had for an amount as small as
tliis. And the establishment of
scholarships seems to us to be a high
beneficence. The faculty has estab
lished one such scholarship and 20
other 75 dollar scholarships would be
a great good fortune to some very
worthy young women in this school,
