A Deserving Young Man.
Owen AI. Ponder, a young man
from Merriwether county, is in
Jones canvassing for u very vulu
able book—Character Sketches—

iiook is worth every penny asked
or it, and should be in the home
of every one—especially when
there are children, for their
-ketches but tend to lead out into
i higher and brighter life. Then
■lestdes getting the value of youi
money in the book you, at tb
same time, help o most deserving
voting man. Owen lias but-recent¬
ly worked his way through tin
High School at Ilawkinsville and
's now at Emory College, D‘‘-
pendent entirely upon his own re¬
mit ices and without moans In
-heerfnlly labors every day that
lie may pay for board, tuition,
books, &c. During vacate n h
lenies him sol t oi all pleasure and
s working in order that he may
complete his education.
He lias none of the effrontery
md “gab” of the average book

modest, retiring. Such determi

tud wo believe our people will
gladly subscribe to lbs excellent
book.

Our School System.
A number of our teachers are
decidedly in favor of a return to
c irporar punishment in the
schools of our statu,both o - ’ty and
country, ns the more modern and
humane methods of chastisement
jure J not proving so satisfactory It as
correct ive measure. is alto-
gather probable that the incorrig¬
ibility of the juvenile population
of our congested centers may very
properly be referred to congenital
causes mid subsequent home train
iug. To produce a well ordered
child it. is necessary to begin his
imining several generations be¬
fore Ins birth. His inborn ten¬
dencies cannot beensily extirpa¬
ted, like noxious words they may
seem to spring up spontaneously
hilt as the winds ami the birds of
the air carry and deposit the deeds
of the funner so through the evo¬
lution of the races their tenden¬
cies are swept along with the ever-
rolling stream. The incorrigible
germ were copula od and
noted long before the life of the
child began. A true process of
education involves the means and
appliances which will cor root the
moral deformity. Then their
inborn tendencies are cultivated
and abnormally developed under
the baneful i.itluencea of a most
pestilential domestic atmosphere.
There are thousands ol homes in
congested centers from whence
o her than littlo incorrigible’s
could not possibly emerge, like
begets like, children of pure cliat-
acter, amiable temper and traen-
ple dispositions could not possi¬
bly come out of such haunts of
Sill. The child’s life must he tn-
ken for whatsit is, it should be
estimated at Us true moral value.
A"Battillian” system of n e s-
are meats should be adopted,
whereby te&clmrs could identify
ihe iii. irked characteristics anil bn
able to prepm-iy discipiline the
incorrigible tendencies of the
young hopeful.
The evolution of a plan of educa-
lianal methods involving a com-
plete system of reformatory
measures adopted to the atxliirnt.e
classes would doubtless aid in the
solution of this most perplexing
problem, and render the task ol
the teacher somewhat more prom¬
ising and pleasant. There is no
reason ivhy the slate should not
provide active, reformative cor¬
rection, curative methods for .the
purpose of meeting, and if possi¬
ble, overcoming tin c iinina! pre¬
disposition of the unfortunate
child just as soon as it arrives at
school age aiuj until such provis¬
ion is made the state lias utterly
failed to discharge the respotisibil-
,ty with which it wvs invested at
,he time the little foundling was
thrust into her lap. It may be
Tabued with some considerable
,nuw of reason that the preseujjp
school eorricculum has degenerat¬
ed into a stuffing process. Even
f this be true it was better that
somu phases of our present edu-
t mini system bo olimented,
r,hat methods for the proper train¬
ing* and development of the iwor*
,1, not religions so called nature,
*0 incorporated, Tho moral clmr-
teter of her citizenship is ns im¬
portant to the state ns its intor-
i ctuul character. Undue impor-
:aiico should never be given to
Hie one to the detriment of the
itlicr. The powers of mind and
■mill of intellectuality and moral¬
ity should walk band in hand in
our public schools, then will be
solved more readily what now are
among the most perplexing prob¬
lems at' our social and industrial
i fa. J R Andrews.
