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 tu ^ t Ies - he parents of , RaSteaan , should . a not give thei* children any cauge to chicle them in for j mv i ng neglected to place vvhere they will not have to be hewers of wood and drawers water for t ne cnildre:.: of parents, Such will be the case their educational into-rests negiected. in the 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¬ portance of preparing them for these duties.
