Educational Progress.
Mr. Editor—P lease allow me
the privilege of saving through
The News a few words about our
schools a id the education of the
children of d< nr old Jones.

The public spirited men in the
county who have done so much to
pusli farward our agricultural in*
(crests showed, mt only to our
sister counties of the state what
a garden spot the red red lulls ol
Jones are, hut to neighboring
htates, nnd have hy this means
placed her among the forempst
counties of Georgia. Just how
much wns accomplished by means
of our county fairs cannot bo es¬
timated, but it is not loo much
to say that through the fairs we
have become known from tho
eastern border of the stale to the
Cliatahooclu e on the west, and
from the cloud lit mountain top
of North Georgia to the sandy
shores of the const on the south.
If those men of the county who
have lent their help in making
Jones what she is in the agrictilt
nil lines will enter with the same
zen! and enthusiasm into the
school problem (nnd it is a prob-
lent) nothing loss than a glorious
accomplishment of their purpose
and a betterment of the school
will bo realized.
Wo must learn that the pro-
gress of Jones county depends not
upon the productiveness of its
soil, but upon the people, nnd
greatest thing among the peojile
is the children. ‘Wo are tripar-
tite animals,’ composed of mind,
body and soul, and iu order to be
well rounded each must be devel¬
oped, The,body strugles for the
expression of the animal instincts,
while the soul always looks to¬
ward God. Yet if well directed,
with tho “white horse of the soul
yoked to the bhnk horse of the
body wo may hope nt last to ride
into the New Jerusalem.”
With such a largo number of
small schools in the county, with
short terms, and so many of them
very closu together, wo can n> ver
have a first c'ass school, with lirst
grade teacher receiving a respec¬
table salary. Many a school in
tho county is ns close as two miles
to another. So long ns such con¬
ditions exist|we cuu never expect
to have the best school possible,
and that is what we want. Who
would not favor consolidation of
such schools? A few narrow min-
dad and selfish people can ruin a
good school by trying to have their
own way, for “ti liouso divided
against itself will surely fall.” It
might bo a little inconvenient for
some children to get to tho con-
soUdaUai school but the better
cilities for instruction will mote
than balance the extra effort re-
tjuired to reach'tho consolidated
school. Such are the conditions
in many places of tho county.
Ret the people, who are confront-
< d with this problem, get togeth-
er and give up their selfish tiess
the sake of the school and the
greatest good of the community,
In this way we can have the do-
sired school, and obtain much
better results, for in a large school
there is more interest uian.fested
