It would bo interesting to know the thought of the mer chant who continually preaches hard times and "no money” when he sees one of his competi tors wind up an advertising campaign in the deadest season of the year with a crowd of hungry cash shoppers who surge into the store like a circus crowd and turn loose money in great streams. is a fact that many country merchants overlook, that goods are’in demand all the time. The people cannot stop buying when ‘‘money is tight” and it is in such times that they search ad vertising matter closest in order that they may make their dollars go as far as they will. Almost theUame amount of cash trad ing is going on all the time. If the! local merchant keeps his stock fresh and advertises his goods at attractive prices he will get the trade, but when he THE EDUCATION THAT EDUCATES ITS PROCESS AND ITS GOAL AS 13 SEEN IN "SSUS CHRIST Thoughts From the Baccaulaureate Ser mon Before the South Georgia College, Mcßae, Recently. By Elam F. Dempsey. Text: Luke 2:. r >2. “And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man. ’ ’ In these words, we have the true ideal of education, its process and its goal, as illustrated in Jesus Christ, the one nor mal man that has appeared in the his tory of the race. In them we see the goal to lie attained and the infallible process which it may he reached. I. Puzzle himself as lie may, over the mysteries of the earthly destiny, man may safely reach the conclusion that the divine purpose in it is his develop ment. He is born a shapeless mass of possibilities. His business is not so much to lie as to become something. This process of becoming is what we call education. It may be upward, or il may be downward, it may ia* true or it may be false, but of this we can be sure, it will not rise higher than its ideal. Growth is our privilege. Tt is also our duty. A babe is an interesting oh- j jert, but one remains a babe always thereby becomes one of the earth’s mosl piteous and disappointing specta cles. God seems to have arranged the universe—this matrix of personality—l so that not only does it nourish us, but it prods, .pummels and drives us intoj I lie development of such powers as wo may pns.se.sH. Surrounded as he is by the natural world, tlie great human world, willi heaven and angels over head, and hell jtnd demons beneath man finds, in obedience to the one and in struggle against the other, the double source of tiis discipline, while passing through this strange realm of time. We are put here to grow. Society aids 11s in the correct initiation of this great undertaking by the organization of the school. 11. What first attracts us in this text, as pointing to the true ideal of educa tion, is its suggestion first of personal perfection. This personal perfection is found to be described in two terms, “wisdom and stature.” In other words, individ mil excellence readies its height in a perfectly developed body, mind and spirit. Huch education may be defined in the words of Dr. Stephen Olin, “as the adequate discipline and symmetri cal development of ail the faculties of man.'' First—Let us consider the physical de velopment. The body is just as much an essential part of us as the mind or the spirit. The human personality can not be conceived without a place for body, mind and spirit, all and each in it. Otherwise you may have a mutilat ed something, but it is not humanity. As before remarked, t'hrist is the one normal human being, and in Him, we see that not only the body had a place in Him while He was on earth, but that body lias been carried away into heaven, it lias become immortal, and shall there abide forever. This is typi cal of ii'- what happened to Him will happen to us. Furt lieruiore, we are as sured of some essential relation be tween this physical body and the spiv itual body with which we shall be clothed upon in the resurrection. Fur ther still, there seems to be an impera tive craving of every spirit in earth, and even of every spiritual impulse, to find for itself some adequate embodi meat. Prom these general principles, us well as from the plain indication of the text we gather that it is an irrefutable posi tion that no ideal of education is true that omits a proper consideration of the training of the body. Second—lndividual perfection is fur ther found in the proper development of the intellectual and spiritual ele ments of one’s nature. These, we take it, are included in the word wisdom. The major factors of these elements within us are the will, the conscience, the sensibilities and the intellect. Let ns conceive, if we can. of one iu whom all of these are found, each in large volume, and properly subordinat ed to the rest. In other words, let us tliiuk of one iu whom the elements so mix that nature may stand up and say to all the world. ‘‘This is a man!” Iu such a one. reason and conscience rule the will, which in turn governs feeling, fancy and impulse. Well proportioned, full orbed man hood, be stands before us. a perfect in dividual, charming as a Greek statute, and save for the delight of the aesthet ic sense, as useless. Such a one merits Tennyson's scornful words, “Faulty, faultless, speudily null.” He has at- stops the channel of cash trade it quietly turns somewhere else. It is the dull season when the local merchant surrenders that the mail order houses get in their most effective work.— Moultrie Observer. VARIETY FARMING BETTER. The day of the ail-cotton farmer in the South h passing, not because cotton is not a good crop, but that a planter should not risk his next year’s sustenance on a single crop, when a variety would grow just as well and in the long run would be more profitable. It combines an important economic principle, that risking the necessities ol life is harmful. All farming is a form of speculation, involving many risks, gains and losses which either may lower one to poverty or enrich him. If the average farmer raises a “bumper” cotton crop and makes a splendid profit lie lives with bounty and luxury which of course is really harmful to him; but if las crop fails he lives for the next year on practically nothing, doing without the important necessaries of life. What is the remedy lor such a condition? It is to plant a variety, corn, grain and fruit as well as cotton. Also in stock raising. It is noticed that in the latter case the possession of the actual necessities of life aud its luxuries does not depend on one crop, but on all. What is the ratio between the simultaneous failure of the corn, grain and the variety with cotton alone ? If the cotton crop fails the one-crop man is helpless, but if it fails for the variety man, his corn, grain and stock ought to be amply able to support his family. tabled this individual perfection by receiving a constant ministry. This hint of selfishness is tlie canker and the worm at the heart of t His beautiful blossom from humanity’s garden. If lie go not to the next step indicated in our text, he will earn for himself the scathing denunciation in the poet’s lines. “That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives and nothing gives, Whom none can love and none can thunk, breatiou’s blot, Creation's blank.” 111. As has just been said, the true ideal of education must carry a man beyond this individual perfection to something more. That something more is plainly declared in the words, “He increased in favor with God and man.” This si ts forth that in order to an adequate development, man must add to his in dividual perfection, a perfection in his relationships. He was not made to be alone. He stands surrounded by rela tionships on every hand, lie is related to God, to his fellow man, to the evil world beneath. Until he has found how to adjust himself correctly in all of these directions, be lie what he may, he is not yet an educated man. Until he is a perfect social being, as "•ell as a perfect individual being, he has Hot attained that goal which is indi cated in Jesus Christ, who is the per fect type of wliat every man is,design ed to become, and what, by His redemp tive processes, He has made it possible for every man to become. There is no place for enmity, hatred and alienation in this phase of his com plex nature. We find here that the true development in this direction is toward favor and good will from both God and man. First—lt is significant that favor with God is mentioned in the first place. This is not accidental, for, until man reaches his right adjustment with God, lie cannot possibly come into a right ad justment with any other being. Plain history of the sad confusion in his re lationships, which can he observed on every hand, sets forth that all this dis aster began with the break in his re ' lationship with God. At once we see that religious educa tion is hereby allirtned and secular edu cation is hereby condemned. The edu cation that is not religious is not right. 1 call your attention to the fact that I am discriminating secular education from religious education. 1 have said 'no word about state education, or the !''hurch education, or private school ed i Mention. Any or all of these may be come secular. Any or all of them may Ibo. and should be. religious. ■second —True ideal of education fur ther includes such a training as tits this m'r footed individual who stands now iu right relationship with God, to live a’c eeptablv with his fellow man. Each man exists for all other men. He him self is ministered unto the end that he. in turn, may more effectively min istcr unto others.

Slaton to the weekly press association, declaring' that the honor and honesty of the state were involved in its failure to pay the school teachers, has proven to be seed sown on fer tile ground. During the past week “from Tybee to Rabun Gap” as the saying goes, such a demand has gone up from the sanctums of Georgia’s country newspaper editors as has never been heard before, demanding that before it adjourn the legislature make provision to pay the school teachers without further delay and to pay them when their pay falls due in the future. Seldom is such a unanimity of sentiment aroused on any sub ject in Georgia. Leading week lies and semi-weeklies have call ed upon the representatives of their counties in the legislature to work for some remedy. “Whatever else you do, pay the teachers,” is the burden of their demand. In his speech, Governor Sla ton said to the weekly editors, “To you do I appeal, more pow erful bv far than the warriors of ancient days, to lend your aid.” A glance over the editorial columns of the Georgia papers duffing the past week shows how magnificently they have respon ded. REMOVE DUTY ON MEAT. The removal of the duty on meats has become an economic necessity. The supply here is getting so scant and so high priced that contributions from the surplus of other countries would be welcomed. Our popu lation is growing at the rate of about 20 per cent a decade, but our stock of food animals is de clining. The department of ag riculture estimates that in the last six years the number of beef cattle in the United States has fallen from 51,566,000 to 36.000,000. Protective duties and a steady increase in values have not stopped the decline, be cause the conditions under which cattle were raised cheaply and freely on western ranges have passed away. The United States will have to make the most of the resources of countries like Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Australia, where the coun try is still open. Anything that the government can do to turn these resources our way will be appreciated. It is, therefore, exceptionally pleasing to note that the department of agricul ture has sent agents to Argen tina and Australia to report up on the facilities there for fur nishing this country with the much-needed fresh meat, thus showing its appreciation of a new opportunity for its useful ness.—lVas h big to n He rald.

What thi Exchanges have to Say For the same reason that there should be a board of tax equalization in each county, there should be also a central board for the state as a whole. If a county board is necessary to assure just and uniform pay ment of taxes by individuals, then certainly a state board is necessary to assure an equable return of taxes by counties. There must be equality of taxa tion among communities as well as among citizens. —Atlanta Journal.
