DEMOCRACY IN
EDUCATION
J W. H. FAUST.
THERE are two prevalent ideas
abroad relative to our educational
prograpi. One is that the state should
do it all. The other that the denomi
nations through their agencies should
at least look after the higher educa
tion.
Secondary Education.
We have in Georgia a large sum of
money invested in Secondary schools.
The State has in every community a
well equipped high school, free to the
boys and girls. One of the big
questions before us today is: “What
will we do with our Secondary schools
so inadequately equipped as they are
forced to compete with the well equipp
ed high schools run by our tax-pay
ers?”
We Baptists have to pay taxes to run
the. high schools, even if we do not
patronize them.
One of our leaders in denominational
educational work recently stated that
“We will in all probability have to do
away several of our secondary
schools.” Now the question arises
whiclj of these schools? And another
question: “If we do away with several
why not make a clean sweep?
If it is the intention to do away with
any of these schools why continue to
put money into them when funds are
•so sorely needed for other worthy ob
jects?
Some of these schools have been run
ning in debt. Some of them do not
measure up to the A1 standard set by
the Association of colleges. If a father
mentis his boy to one of these schools
it should be poss:bl for a certificate
from that school to enable the boy to
■enter any of our co.’eges.
Universities.
All of my training has been received
as a Baptist and a Democrat. I am
■old fashioned enough to believe that
If I have to pay for a *h'rg I ought ro
be able to get what I want and that if
I pay and it suits me the other
fellow should be satisfied.
A concrete illustration will bring out
•clearly what is in my mind. Not long
since a good Baptist deacon wanted his
girl to go to one of our Baptist schools.
He made arrangements for her to en
ter*. After she had ivoen there awhile
be was notified she would have to take
a full course. She went with the un
derstanding that she was to have a
special course. Result: The father
sent her to another school, and she of
course was instrumental in influencing
•a large number of her friends to do like
wise.
I may not know as much as some of
the educators whose schools are con
tinually reporting an indebtedness, but
I do know the difference between big
wood and brush. I know that if a fel-
ImV has to pay a high price for a thing
he has a perfect right to get just what
he wants whether it suits the other fel
low or not.
Numbers of our Baptists are saying:
“If I can not get what I want in my
own denominational colleges, then I’ll
send my child to some other college,
and an investigation of the matter will
show whether they are doing that or
not.
No ofie believes in education more
strongly than the writer. Every child
ought to have a finished education.
That is every child ought to be expos
ed in the best colleges. But if a fellow
does not want a certain course why
keep him out on purely technics
grounds.
IVe Baptists need a University in the
state to which any boy. be he Catholic,
Brotestant, .Tew or Heathen, can go and
pet. just the work that he wants am
is willing to pay for.
If a girl wants music and doesn t
want higher mathematics should she
not be able to get what she pays for
in a Baptist supported institution?
If a boy wants a technical course
should he not be able to get that course
without ' having vto take a classical
course?
If a fellow wants training as r civil
engineer should he be forced to take
* course in Sanskrit or Greek?
The writer has had considerable con
nection with the schools of the state.
He has seen one of our secondary
schools go into the hands of others for
a vast deal less thnn was put into it
by Baptists.
A Few Serious and Ernest Questions.
1. What do our leaders propose to
do with our secondary schools?
2. Which ones do we propose to
keep np and which discard?
2. Are our college lenders going to
make it possible for any of our poor
students who can not take a full course
to go and get all that they can from
our institutions?
4. Is it not about time that an ade
quate educational program he pub
lished and our people he able to know
the cVnct status of our entire school
situation?

CHRISTIAN ENDEAV
OR CONVENTION AT
WINDER NOV. 18TH.
“On to Winder Clubs” are being form
ed among Christian Endeavor socie
ties of Northeast Georgia to attend
the District Convention which is to be
great gathering for young people No
vember 18 and 19th. Letters are coming
in daily from presidents of the various
societies in this district expressing the
great interest that is being manifested
in this two-day meeting. Delegates
have already been selected and regis
trations have commenced and it is be
lieved tlmt by November 11th, 300
young people will have registered for
this convention.
Appearing on the program are some
of the strongest Christian Endeavor
speakers in Dixie ami Northeast Geor
gia is being congratulated by five other
districts in the state on scheduling such
a corps of competent speakers for the
young people. Plans have been under
way for this gathering for almost six
months and surely November 18th will
bring forth great fruit.
The good news that t.he visitors will
be entertained in the hospitable homes
of the Winder people spread like wild
fire and this very fact caused more
young people to express their intention
of attending. Winde r has a great
name for entertaining visitors and the
young people so learned this fact fiom
hearing the thought so widely express
ed and these two days will find many
people who are interested in the wel
fare of the Georgia Union for Chris
tian Endeavor present.
Such workers are: Rev. Taylor Mor
ton, Rev. Shelnutt, Mr. John Walden,
Mrs. S. N. Hill, Mr. Chas. Harris and
others are boosting and making prepa
ration for this convention and when
this hunch of workers with the help
pf the Baptist and Methodist people
of Winder band together, there is sure
to be a good convention.
The program will commence at nine
o'clock Saturday morning, November
18tli, with Rev. Taylor Morton, pastor
of the Winder Presbyterian church, as
speaker. Several short addresses for
welcome from the various organizations
of Winder will precede this talk Satur
day morning.
Saturday morning will be spent in
placing before the people new ideas
of Christian Endeavor work.
Saturday evening the big “pep” pan
quet will be held in the basement of
the Christian church and the people
are making splendid preparation to see
that the young people have a wonder
ful time.
Sunday morning will he observed as
“Christian Endeavor Day” and every
effort is being made to have the Win
der people meet at one centrally lo
cated church and have a fellowship
meeting that will help the entire town.
Home Missions will be the topic of
the young people’s meeting Sunday
night at 6:30 and invitations are being
extended to the 11. Y. B. U. and the
Epworth League of Winder to make
this a Union meeting. This meeting
will be led by the Athens Christian En
deavor Union with special two minute
talks. Special music and inspiring sing
ing.
The closing service will he held in
the Methodist church and it would be
a misfortune to have any young per
son in attendance at this convention
miss this part of the program. The
consecration sermon will he delivered
by Carl J. Matthews, who lias a very
powerful influence with young people
and his message will he the very life
of the closing service.
Endeavors should register with Mrs.
S. N. Hill.

STROLLIN’ AROUND
On last Thursday morning we arose
and feeling stout decided we would
stroll a bit. So early we strolled out
the national highway to the fork of
the old Jefferson road, turned down the
old way to the old home of Dr. J. A.
Thompson, thence through fields to the
Jefferson and Monroe road at the Hin
ton rocky ford across Parker creek;
we returned the same route.
In the afternoon, not satisfied with
my stroll, I strolled down Athens street
to Ben Hill's store. There I met a
very clever young man, none other than
Gainum Fuller. I asked of an old
grave yard. He very kindly offered
me a ride in his buggy to this city of
the dead. We went and found only
one marked stone. It seemed to be of
native granite and polished only above
ground. It had topled over; we set it
up and read, “Mary Camp, born Jan.
17, 1788; died Jan. 20, 1816.”
She lived 28 years and 3 days. She
was Mary Pierce and married Robert
It. Camp. She is the grandmother of
Hon. A. A. Camp, of Winder. Tins
Robert It. Camp lived near here, very
likely within the city limits. At one
time he sold 400 acres of land to Abner
Camp in 1827. This was a portion of
four thousand acres grant to Wm. Ba
ker on the headwaters of Marbury
creek.
In this old cemetery, for it is an old
one, the great, great grandfather of
Carlton Pentecost is buried.
Asa crow would fly a mile and a
half from t.he center of Winder you
would reach this old graveyard. About
a quarter of a mile south of this grave
yard and across the creek was the old
Boman home. Then a couple of hun
dred yards east of this was the old
Jack Fuller home. Then west or near
ly so across Marbury creek was the
Solomon Beam home. Jesse Beam
sold this to Solomon Beam in 1834.
Now east of this .graveyard, about a
mile, was the Green Boman home. He
was a son of old Tom Boman. One
story is that this Tom Boman came
home from the Revolutionary war and
was buried here.
We find conflicting stories. Some
say Mary Camp was the first buried
here, if so, this Boman heresay is not
true. Harris Boman was burled here.
He died from smallpox. Nancy Bo
man Fuller wasburied here. She was
the wife of Jack Fuller and mother of
Frank and Robert Fuller. She hns
two children buried here, Green and
Harris. This last named place is near
the Dick Russell home and about a
quarter of a mile from the home of the
late Jane Boman, who married Torn
Boman, a son of Green Boman I have
been locating.
There are many old graves being
neglected. For the sake of the coming
generation let's mark where we know.
It is my opinion you will find Tom Ro
man in the list of soldiers of 1776-81.
This Green Boman was the father
of Sylvester and Green Boman who
married the sister and daughter of one
Hill Steed. There was a James who
wedded a Boring. The children of Hill,
Howell, George and It. P. Boman; the
children of It. N. and I>. J. Pentecost,
