Stye (Eorlfratt Journal Entered May 23rd, 1908, at the Post-office at Cochra.i, Ga., as Second Class Mail Matter PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY (Eortjran sJubliel|ing (La. T. L. BAILEY, Editor. J. H. MULLIS, JR. Business Mgr. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO PER YEAR Commencement Exercises Of the Cochran High School. The graduation exercises of the Cochran High School at the opera house closed one of the most suc cessful records in the history of our school. The graduates were: Har vey Asliell, Jeff Morgan, Tom Bai ley, Misses Pearle Taylor, Dollie Peacock and Edna Maylor. This fortunate sextette is entitled to enter, without examination, any of the higher institutions of learn ing in the state, as our school is on the accredited list. Prof. Browning has done wonder ful work in the short time he has been here, building the school from an enrollment of 137 to something over 200, and this was done under 1 great disadvantages. By efficiency, force of character and intelligent management, our school h:is been kept on the accredited list, sis it was not really entitled to it when based upon equipment and number of tea chers. Back up Prof. Browning with sufficient funds and he will give us the best school in the third congres sional district. Provide him with teachers and boarding places and next term be will have 250 to 300 pupils. We can and must have a school second to none in this part of the country. A good school is, no doubt the very best investment we could make. Education means pros perity. Lay the foundation well and strong, and there wiil be no doubt as to our future welfare. Education is the great primal force behind everything that goes to make up a staunch, progressive and enlightened citizenship. A citizen ship that invariably looks well to the moral,spiritual and material welfare of any community. Give us educ ation and the other good things will naturally follow. Electric lights, water works,indus trial institutions sink into insignif iceance, when compared with prop er educational training for the youths of our land. Money may take wings and fly off; industrial 'mentions sink beneath the crash of rjieriodical panics; your doors closed by the sheriff, and during a year olhTTsToWAft* 1 ntWA reverses the accumulations of years may be swept away; put into your fluids head all the education he will take or that you can possibly give him, and you have bestowed upon him treasures that moths and rust cannot corrupt; panics cannot sweep away, and thieves slip in and steal. Fill his head instead of his pocket, and you will transmit to posterity a stronger, better and broader heritage. One able to cope with the great possibilities of the future, and take their rightful pe tition in the front rank of civiliz ation. Money ig all right, it helps us to get all these good things. It re wards genius for its long hours of toil and sacrifice. It make possible the accomplishment of great efforts. Dense ignorance and poverty go hand in hand fomenting strife, prej udice and discord. Show me the man whose educa- tional advantages have liven poor and is broad enough and has sense enough to realize that his opportun ities have been decreased a hundred fold, and we will show you the man who will put forth every effort to give bis child something that he has felt the need of every day of his life. With all the force of our nature and with hearts full of tender solic itude for the welfare of our com munity, we implore the class of 1910 to set their minds and hearts strong and unalterable upon the completion of the work so nobly be gun, and let no obstacle stand in the way. “Man is ever in search of strength. It is the strong man with power that scales the heights. To l>e strong is to be great; and it is the privelege of greatness to sat isfy every desire, every aspiration. But strength is not for the few a lone; it is for all and the way to strength is simple. Proceed this very moment to the mountain top of the strength you possess, and whatever may happen do not come down. I)o not weaken under ad versity. Resolve to remain as strong, and as highly enthused dur ing the darkest night of adversity as you are during the sunniest day of prosperity. Do not feel disap pointed when things seem disap pointing. Keep your eye single upon the same brilliant future re gardless of circumstances, condit ions or events. Do not lose henrt when things go wrong. Continue undisturbed in your original re solve to make all things go right. To be overcome by adversity and threatning failure is to lose strength; to always remain in the same lofty determined mood is to constantly grow in strength. Be true to the power that is in you: be always strong as you are. The man who never weakens when things are against him will grow stronger and stronger untill all things will delight to be for him. He will finally have all the strength he may desire or need. Be always strong and you will always be stronger” The above quotation was taken from one of the leading scientists of the country, and should be an inspiration to every one of this class. It matters not how difficult the obstacles seem, if your desire is strong enough, it will remove every diffaculty and you can reach the very mountain top of of your aspirations. Bear in mind the splendid, inspirational address made by Prof. R. E. Parks of the University at Athens, practical, logical convincing, scintillating, with truth aptly put. Remember what education did for Denmark and what it will do for you as an individual and as a component part of our community.
