MA YNARD’S
WINDER, - . . GEORGIA.
LOOKING BACK.
I was born barefooted, the roads
and paths of our mountain-valley
farm not being suited to walking
witli golden silppers. The silver
spoons and gold platters went to an
other branch of our family. My
father was a successful teacher witli
some college advantages, but when
I was eight years old he had a ter
rible illness that caused the loss of
his eyesight.
We lived—among a good many
Others —in a beautiful valley of the
Appalachian monutains. Our produc
tive soil yielded bountiful harvests;
we had pure, clean air, and the best
water in the world. But we iiad no
schools, nor any puiblc school spirit.
“My daddy never had no lamin’
an’ be allurs made a good livin'; I
never had no schoolin’ nuther, an
I recon we done tollerable well. 1
don't bleve in to much o' this yer
book lamin’ no how. Jist makes the
youngins lazy and no ’count.” Old
uncle Billie was a ‘fossil’, a teacher
of the long ago, as he was aj cripple
and had to be supported by the com
munity, some of our folks got out
and made him up a school. He was
a past master in the blueback spel
ler, but he only taught spelling, read
ing and arithmetic to the single
rule of three. History, geography,
and English grammar, he knew —not
at all. During the summer sessions
the grown ups took their arithmetics
and slates out to the shade of the
trees and worked “past the master.’*
A good many of us could spell the
blue back by heart from cover to
cover. Only when we got smart, we
jumped at a word and got "turned
down.”
The long winter evenings at home,
by the light of pine knots (This is
not romance) the hired man and 1
worked reduction, single rule of
three, double rule of thrqe, interest
practice, and common fractions. We
balked at complex and compound
fractions. Father could not figure
them by his head and could not see
to show us. Then we took up Eng
lßh grammar. The only chance we
had to study grammar—it was not
taught in the schools.
Some of the brightest Intellects I
have ever known grew up among the
lights and shades of those beautiful
mountain- valleys.
In the later years, Dahlonega came
grandly to the rescue, and lias saved
thousands of bright boys and girls
of this fair land from growing up
drones and crones, a menace to civ
ilized living and a disgrace to the
state.
To go back again to our erstwhile
preceptor, “Uncle” Billie. He wrote
us copies, made our quill pens, and
taught us form, with no thought
system. We wrote on any slant that
suited our fancy or convenience.
Somewhere along in the years of the
dim and dusky past, our teacher dis
covered fiction and became owner of
his first novel, “Leni-Leoti,” or
“The Prairie Flower.”
He could not teach history, geogra
phy, or English grammar, but in af
ter years, lie would sit and tell by
the hour of the many thrilling events
of that story and could repeat verba
tum page by page, which he believed
to be literally true.
There have been many education
al improvements in the years that I
have lived. But we are still ages and
ages behind.
I am shocked and mortified almost
every day to see my own lack of
knowledge, and of those with whom
I associate. We need a broader cul
ture and a wider understanding of
men and nature, as well as of books.
A good many of us are too near the
journey end to stop and go to school.
We have many opportunities yet,
how r ever, to gather knowledge for oui
comfort and profit as well. Earth,
air and sky are burdened with things
for our good.
We should look up and not down,
forw r ard and not backward, with ev
every breath of air we should
breathe hope, and cohfidence. Our
motto should be higher and higher,
higher and higher.
