EASTMAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Attendance 1 b The History of
the Schools is Expected.
Eastman Ga.,Sept, 12th 1899.—
^ Times-Journal:—The fall
of the public schools of East¬
Mill open next. Monday the
18th inst. I sincerely hope there
be such an attendance as there
never been before. Compe¬
teachers have been employed,
curriculum or standard has
been raised so that there is not a
or college in this section of
state where students can ob¬
a bettor all round education
fit them for the duties of life,
the expense of obtaining such
education is practically noth¬
ing. I do not know of another
school in Wire Grass Georgia
where a good education can be had
at such small cost. The people
should not lose such an opportu¬
nity. It seems to me it would be
almost cmniual tor parents to al¬
low their children to grow up m
ignorance in the face of such op¬
portunities. There is absolutely
no reason or excuse for not giving
to the children of this communi¬
ty the benefits of an education
that will enable them to stand
their ground with any in the land
in the conflicts and struggles of
life. We have at our very
a school that is second to none in
this section and I hope to see it
filled to its utmost capacity and
even running over so that it will
be necessary to enlarge fhe facil¬
ities. Those who avail themselves
of it he advantages now offered will
occaupy the front seatts in the af¬
fairs of the world, and those who
do not will many aiad many a
time in future life lodk hack with
sore regret upon their lost oppor

A word conclusion as to
boys. At the Institute last term
the attendance of girls was
in excess of the attendance of
boys. Why was this so? I be¬
lieve in educating the (girls, but 1
certainly do not believe in neg¬
lecting tlie education of the boys,
Up®n them, soouer or k>ter, must
chiefly devolve the care.and sup¬
port of families and the mainte
nance and preservation of the
government, It is impossible
therefore, to over estimate the im¬

these duties. Every boy an East
