PRESENT DAY EDUCATION.
(By W. H. Faust.)
Education is the most talked about
and the least understood subject be
fore the people of Georgia today.
One thing can be truthfully said
about it and that is, that there has
been but little change in the work
of the average school for the last
half a century. The curriculum is
about the same. The course of study,
and the grade of work, the results,
the attitude of parent, teacher, pupil
toward it has varied but slightly dur
ing this period.
One thing that needs to be said
in stentorian voice is that all is not
yet known about the subject. An
other is that there is something rad
ically wrong with the present day
system. Else why so few of our
boys and girls in the higher grades,
high schools and colleges?
A few questions need to be asked
and answered. Is it right for the
state ot furnish free education for
its children? If so. is it right not to
have compulsory educational law's?
Are we spending too much of the
state’s money on our colleges and
high schools and too little propor
tionately upon our common schools?
John Milton gives us a fine defi
nition of education: ‘‘A complete and
generous education fits a man to
perform justly, skilfully, and maguan
imously all the offices, both public
and private, of peace and war.”
Hill gives this which is also good:
“A complete education ought to pre
serve the pupils bodily health and
strength, and give him command
over his mental and muscular pow
ers, increase his quickness and sharp
ness of perception, form in him the
habit of prompt and accurate judg
ment, lead to delicacy and depth in
every right feeling, and make him in
flexible in his conscientious and
steadfast devotion to all his duties.’”
It is wrong to criticise a method
or plan without suggesting something
better to take its place. But facts
are facts. Our schools are not keep
ing our citizens in touch with the
life they must live. May it not be
that the curriculum is tco broad, in-

Flags
eluding tco much. Giving pupils a
smattering knowledge of many sub
jects and accurate knowledge of
none.
The man who sacrifices and pays
to have his child instructed and
equipped for citizenship and life has
a legitimate right to expeett some
thing worth while in return for his
investment. Fathers, what could your
daughters do for a livelihood if they
were to be thrust out upon the work
dependent as soon as they leave the
school? Of course too much superfi
cial work is being done, but who is
responsible for it? The teacher or
the parents, or the school boards?
Think of the following for a few
moments. Have you ever watched s
boy vitally interested in drawing. To
tally oblivious to all about him. He
sees the finished product at the end.
Interest, attention, mental develop
ment, growth, all are manifest. We
need more agricultural, manual train
ing, industrial work, vocational teach
ing. Domestic science, practical work
done in our schools, and less catch
questions, and far-fetched technical
work of a monotonous kind that
tends to drive pupils from our
schools rather than to induce them
to attend. The men who are at the
head of the educational work had
just as well put their ears to the
ground and catch the cry and re
spond by giving to the people the
•‘VOCATIONAL” statesmen of the
far-sighted type are needed. We
have some, yea many, in Georgia and
it speaks a better day for ns in the
educational world in our state.
Rank Foolishness.
You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weath
er. That is rank foolishness. Were
it true colds would be as prevalent
in midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds flourishes
in damp, cold weather. To get rid
of a cold take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. It is effectual and is high
ly recommended by people who have
used it for many years as occasion
required, and know' its real value.
Obtainable everywhere.—Advt.
Sign of Good Digestion.
When you see a cheerful and hap
py old lady you may know that she
has good digestion. If your diges
tion is impaired or if you do not
relish your meals take a dose of
Chamberlain Tablets. They strength
en the stomach, improve the diges
tion and cause a gentle movement of
the bowels. Obtainable everywhere.
