Report from weather bureau in
Atlanta, stales that the minimum
temperature was the lowest ever
recorded for so late a date. From
what we eaii learn, the cotton in
our vicinity was hurt some, but
none in comparison to some other
portions of the state. It seems that
old Pulaski is a favored section.
We don’t appreciate our country
like we should. Just think how
long we have been exempt from
cyclones, earthquakes, disastrous,
storms, crops failure or any
calamitous visitations.

Dr. Walter's Address.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Teachers
and Pupils of the Third. Congres
sional School Convention:
On behalf of the good people of
our city, teachers and trustees of
our schools, it becomes my pleasant
privilege to extend the good hand
of welcome to your body. I assure
you we are delighted to have you
with us and hope to make your stay
so enjoyable that you will think of
us pleasantly when you return to
your homes.
It augurs well for the future and
tells us with unmistakable emphasis
that the great cause which you re
present is coming to the front with
tremendous stride.
What nobler and far-reaching
work can any one engage in than
character building-training the fu
ture men and women of our coun
try. We may confidently predict
the stability and standard of future
citizenship hy knowing the training
and ideals of the youth of our land.
What a responsibility and what a
glorious reward!
It is not always the privilege of
the teachers to see the full fruition
of their seed sowing; this is the
slow process of evolution, and the
silent reaper may gather many of
them as his own ere the goal is
reached; but the leavm cast upon
the water will continue its good un
til the masses are leavened.
Organization is absolutely neces
sary for the advancement of any
cause if you would obtain the bes>
results.
I can see great possibilities in
your convention. It will develop
the best methods and systems of
school work: it will arouse the dor
mant aspirations and ambitions of
the pupils, and as the glint of the
sun reveals the lustre of the dia
mond, so also the glint of minds
develops the brilliancy of the human
intellect: and the standard of excel
lence will become so high that the
winners of the laurels will indeed
