iHj Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove a . |
pnceleM heritage in after yearn.
O Lord, thou art my God; I will
exalt thee, I will praise thy name,
for thou hast done wonderful things.
Thou hase been a strength to the
poor, a strength to the needy in his
distress, a refuge from the storm, a
shadow from the heat. —Isaiah 25:1,
4.

School opens Wednesday, Septem
ber 2nd.

Soon September Ist will be here, —
and we all move again.
After all, business is going to be
good in Hartwell this fall.
“Even if you can tell a woman’s
age,” says old Joe, “it’s best not to.”

Good churches, good schools, good
roads. Can you beat that combina
tion?
o
Healthy boys and girls make bet

ployed a health expert for her
schools.

The Hartwell Parent-Teacher As
sociation is an organization that con
tributes in a large measure to the
success of our schools.
o
Paving is going to make Hartwell
indeed a beautiful city. Property
will be worth much more after this
improvement is completed.
o
This issue is very valuable. It
contains the course of study for each
grade, rules and regulations and
much valuable information along
school lines. Keep it for reference.
o
One essential for the success of
any modern school is a wide-awake,
broad-minded and hard-working
Board of Education. Hartwell has
that, —and consequently a good
school.
o
The Hartwell school is on the Ac
credited Southern A-l List, your
boys and girls can’t go to a better
high school, because the Hartwell
school comes up to every requirement
in detail.

Furthermore, when you find a
county that is ahead of Hart on con
solidation and betterment of rural
schools you will be going some. Hart
county is recognized as a leader all
over the State.

This week’s Sun carries the names

historical interest, as The Sun is
filed every week at the Hart county
court house, and may be seen fifty
years from this week by those who
are now school boys and girls.

Education is the foundation of
success. Without it you will be

be prepared to make your mark. You
must learn if you wish to earn. Re

High School is your opportunity to
get a start toward success.

Hartwell completed recently a $7,-

schools. George E. Archibald is
principal of the institution, and is
doing a great work amongst the col

Sun carries a photograph of the new
structure.

Fifty years from now some news
paper man will ramble through these
old issues of The Sun and see where
the leading citizens of that future
day were enrolled in the Hartwell
schools. The Sun is officially filed
in the Court House each week. These
special school editions are of his

THE HARTWELL SCHOOLS
This edition of The Sun is devoted
largely to the 1925-26 term of the
Hartwell Public Schools, which open
September 2nd, and we trust will be
productive of results in many ways,
especially arousing our people—if,
indeed they need arousing—to a
realization that we have here one
of the biggest and most modern
school systems to be found in the
State of Georgia for a city of its
size.
Hartwell and her citizenry have
spared neither money nor work in
establishing here a school plant tha’g
is adequate to take care of the needs
of every child in the town or county
who wants to get an education—rec
ognized by prominent educators as a
model in nearly every particular.
There are few counties in Georgia
having more and better schools than
Hart, and our people have established
here as a center of the various dis
trict schools one big assembling plant
for all when they have completed
their work in these splendid commu
nity schools.
Prospective students in the terri
tory adjacent to Hartwell would do
well to consider the educational fa
cilities of the schools here. Out-of
town students are welcomed and the
superintendent expects to enroll a
large number of such pupils at the
approaching fall term.
In this issue you will find all rules
and regulations governing the
schools, names of those on the fac
ulty, courses of study, and many oth
er special articles that will prove of
interest and instruction.
We also call your special attention
to the numerous advertisements in
serted by interested Hartwell mer
chants, banks and other establish
ments. Reserve this issue as a
guide.

School opens in just twenty more
days, boys and girls.

“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8..Jr.
With the passing of August, va
cation days will soon be over and
another summer gone. Many of us
will have acquired a heavy coat of :
tan, lived from day to day in an |
idealistic mode of leisurely ease, rid- ;
den hither and thither without any
prompting sense of direction, taken
our little trips to the mountains and
elsewhere for recreation, >and a
change, and then swiftly come home
again, eagerly and thankfully, watch
ing the summer days fly by and for
a time dismissing the more serious
problems from our mind. This is
the way with vacation days and this
makes up a summer. But summer
is passing and soon our play-time will '
be a memory and with the coming i
of September, the fall days will find
us once more busily engaged in ac
tive work and taking up life where
we left it a few months before. Life
has away of “kidding” us along !
from season to season, filling us with |
renewed life and courage, so that
there are never any vain regrets at
a summer’s end. Instead, it is with
something akin to keen pleasure and
zest that we enter again into a new
season.
This is the “School Edition” of
The Hartwell Sun. There could be !
no more important issue conceived
than this, nor any other subject dis
cussed more far-reaching and basicly
worth while than that of Education.
Hart county and Hartwell these past
few years have been widely alert to
every phase of education. New
school buildings beautiful in every
detail, have been built, the teaching
forces have been augmented, local
pride has developed to such a degree
in every community that education
and the facilities for receiving educa
tion has been furthered along in a
very splendid manner. As a result,
it is gratifying to see the large num
ber of boys and girls from Hartwell
and all over the county who are at
tending college. Conservatively
speaking, the writer does not believe
there is a town in all of Georgia nor
a county in all of the state which
has sent more young people to col
lege than Hartwell and Hart county.
That is a record to be proud of, and
a certain proof that better days are
to come sooner or later for the fu
ture generation. It means also, that
we have developed within our midst
a higher type of youth—, youngsters
who have the spark of ambition with
in them and the courage to go out in
the world and develop themselves for
better things.
Day in, and day out, as the years
have rolled by, all of us have en
countered that class of people who
are thankfully in the minority, who
rant and rage over higher education;
who argue back and forth that a
college education is a waste of time;
that the only thing accomplished is a
tremendous waste of money and the
wrecking of one’s morals. These
people will argue further, too, that
a college man has to start at the
bottom in the business world just the
same as his less fortunate brother
and that his earning capacity is no
better than anyone else’s. All of
which, of course, is plain bunk. If
a college education did no further
good than to develop the mind it
would be well worth while. If it
accomplished nothing better than
broadening out one’s vision it would
have served its purpose admirably.
If it added not a whit more than giv- <
ing one poise and pride and confi
dence' and the love of the beautiful
things in life, a college education
would be worth every sacrifice that
could be made to attain it. For,
education is not a thing that can be
weighed in terms of money, and the
faculty of intelligence and the ap
preciation of the real things of the
world cannot be established on a
financial rating. But, the truth is,
as soundly proven by statistics, edu
cation DOES help one’s earning cap
acity. Though a college man may
start at the bottom, as conceded, in
a few years by reason of his higher
thinking power and his keener train
ed mind, promotions come quickly,
and soon he outstrips the man of less
education. Those are proven facts,-
not hearsay.
In a few weeks all of the colleges
of the state will open their doors.
There will be the usual rush of new
students, some with latent ambition
later to be developed through college
life from a spark into as active
flame; others, with the germ of wor
thy desires already awakened, eager
to be carried on. And, there will be
others there, too, without any pur
pose, without any formulated plans
who will stumble along through their
college career without any definite
aim. Even this latter class will be
helped in spite of themselves for one
cannot live in the environment of a
college atmosphere without absorb
ing some helpful things. To those
who have just finished high school
and who are eligible for.more educa
tion, I would send this message to
day—. GO TO COLLEGE IF IT IS
HUMANLY POSSIBLE. Go, if you
can only attend for a year. Go, if
you have to sacrifice and fight against
up-hill odds. Go, if it even seems
unnecessary now. For, in later
years when college days are only a
memory and the care-free times have
been rudely pushed aside for stern
er realities and responsibilities, there
will still come a deep feeling of
thankfulness and gratitude for hav
ing taken advantage of your oppor
tunity and having shared in the most
broadening of life's experiences.
Looking back now after many
years out of the University of Geor
gia, there always comes a warm feel
ing of thankfulness that I went to
college. lam sincerely grateful that
I had the opportunity. Though my
record there was not overwhelmed
with a multitude of high grades, I
managed to struggle through and
come out with a different angle on
the world. My college life brought
me many wonderful friendships,
many of which will last through life;
it brought me a broader feeling of
sympathy for my fellow-man; it
taught me to think and to not be
merely content with the EVIDENT,
' but rather to seek for the reason for
| things; it showed me that money,
I though an important thing in our
, existence, is not essential to happi
i ness; that service, and usefulness,
. and love were the true fundamentals
to bui|d upon. My college life did
even more than this. It implanted in
my heart the love for the beautiful
things of life, a love for books, and
art, and music, and all the refining in
fluences that sway us from the gross
to the tempered product. And even,
though, in the years to come, many
of my hopes and ambitions may never
be fulfilled and I shall die without
the realization of a host of suppress
ed desires. I shall have lived with
the gladness of living and with a
kindly feeling to all the world.

“Cousin Joe” Cobb—one of those
slim and tall personages and a mem
ber of the Hartwell Country Club —
putted and drove his way to a cham
pionship over thirty entries in the
Hartwell handicap golf tournament
by defeating Garland C. Hayes Fri
day afternoon in one of the best
matches of the tourney.
Cobb led Hayes two or three
strokes at the end of nearly every
hole and when the final reckoning
was made Cobb was leading Hayes
by a six stroke margin. Hayes threat
ened to overtake* his opponent a num
ber of. times but. was unablf to get
' the lead. Eighteen holes were play-
I ed.
Up until the final match between
j Cobb and Hayes, Cobb had defeated
i four of his opponents. He had beat

, Kidd and H. W. Bingham.
Drawn Out Affair.
' A golf tournament is a wonderful
affair if it is conducted in the right
manner. To be a success it should
last over a period of time such that
interest will be kept up—from six
to eight days would not be too long
a period for a regular tourney to
last. For various reasons officials
of the tournament this year were un
able to stage it within that short a
time and it was somewhat lengthy
and drawn out—it began on July 10
and ended August 8. Between the
time of its beginning and its end
people had almost lost all of their
interest. Yet, it could not be helped.
Garland Hayes, chairman of the
tournament committee of the Hart
well Country Club, stated the other
day that plans will be made at once
towards the arranging of the tourney
next year. He stated, also, that the
entire tourney would last over a pe
riod of from five to seven days.

Thrill* Apenty.
Fans from all over the county, and
they were here, too, saw some of the.
best—and worst—baseball last week
that has been exhibited on a local
diamond since the days of long, long
ago. Three games were played be
tween the Hart County stars and El
berton and > although Elberton man
aged to win all three, the fans were
by no means dissatisfied with the
manner of the playing.
Take that first game, though—
Hartwell should have won it. The
final score was 5-4, an error in the
second inning proving fatal as it
gave Elberton three runs. Now, the
second game—which resulted in a
16-3 victory for Elberton—was just
a game of hitting and plenty of it.
Three or four locdl moundsmen
unable to stop the visitors. In the
third game—7-3—Hartwell lost out
again because of the heavy lambast
ing of invading gentlemen.
However listless the games may
have been to some of the fans there
were thrills in £ach game aplenty. I
In the first game the pitching and the
two triples of Wake Bailey were the
high spots and in the last game a
pretty play in the second inning was
thrilling. “Big Tom” Nash—a hus
ky piece of humanity— got hold of a
straight pitched ball and sent it roll
ing into deep center field and began
his swift journey around the bases.
“Doc” Bailey ran and got the ball
and rushed it to Shirley, Hartwell’s
shortstop. For a second or two Shir
ley fumbled with the in
the meantime Nash was circling those
bases with all the rapidity of an un
broken colt. Shirley grabbed up the
ball and threw it straight into the
waiting tnitt of Ridgway, the catch
er, who tagged Nash as he came feet
first into the home plate. The big
fellow lay there for a moment and
then g<j; up—disgusted, and out.
