THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1922. 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? Tobacco Saeda BmM.

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. ■ ' | ■■ ■ Prevent Outhou.se Odons —and dry up outhouse deposits with Red Devil Lye.

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.
