Should a Business Man
• Receive a Collegiate Education?
bv c. J. SHIPP.
I have recently read a number
of articles and editorials on the
subject of college training for the
business meu; a number of our
most intelligent people differ as
to the advisability of sending a
boy to college unless he wishes to
follow one of the learned profes
sions ; Mr. Jefferson who perhaps
did more for the cause of educa
tion than any other man of this
day, said that education should be
given with entire reference to the
individual, and that after the
student had received an elemen
tary or common school education,
he should then be put in training
for the avocation most suited to
him. If a boy intends being a
banker, merchant, farmer, manu
facturer or railroad man he lias no
need for a knowledge of Latin,
Greek, logic or higher mathema
tics, except for the satisfaction
derived from his mental improve
ments; besides this a college man
usually draws his inspiration from
books; the man of affairs is more
practical and draws his inspiration
from the great book of life, hence
their ideals are different, and the
four years spent at college have a
tendency to make a boy unpracti
cal and place him far behind the
boy who has had four years of
practical business training. It is
a fact that history shows that the
men of the greatest learning have
rarely been men of good business
judgement, and I will go even
futher than that, they have rarely
been men of great individual
thought. The Jesuit priests have
been for a number of years tbe
most learned body of men that
the world has ever known, and
yet they have produced no really
great men. speaking of them
Some writer
says: “that they wanted no talent
or accomplishment into which
men can be drilled by elaborate
discipline; but such discipline,
though it may bring out the pow
ers of ordinary minds, has a tend
ency to suffocate, rather than to
develope, original genius.” limited
The same is true in a
sense of college training. How
many of our really great men have
graduated with the first honor?
Isn’t it a fact that a majority their of
the first honor graduates end
life work when they receive their
diplomas? The discipline has
given them usually premature bril
developement and with a few
liant exceptions in after life.
Robt. G. Ingersol says that “col
lege training has a tendency to
polish pebles but dims diamonds;’
life is too short for great training
in two different lines, it is like a
man’s attempting to he follow make two
professions; should an
effort to succeed’in both he will
be successful in neither. It is not
the man of many ideas that suc
ceed in this day of competition, thing
but the men|who know one the
well are the men who are in
lead in this practical world, be
sides this the time
lost in college can never be re
placed ; four years is a long recess
in a young man’s life, during
which habits will be formed that
will cling to him through life,
tastes will be cultivated that will
never leave him, these are the
years that usually form the man,
and if given to theoretical train
ing, speculative phylosophy refinement or
literary culture, a is

The 5acred Concert.
The greatest treat we have had
in some time, was the ‘‘Sacred
Concert” at the Academy last
Friday evening. The programme
was gotten up and arranged by
Miss Marie Mumford and rendered
by some of the young ladies and
men in the city, and that fact
alone is proof of a success and
they did credit to themselves and
to Cordele.
The first on the programme, was
a qnartette—(Come where the lil
ies bloom), sung by Misses Marie
Mumford, Essie Harris and Messrs
Hairis and McKennie, This quar
tette composed some of the finest
talent to be found not only in this
city city but but any anv other other and and though thoucrh
the sweetness of their voices is not
so powerful as the lyric poet
“Ariian,” who saved his life by
the sweetness of his music; but
more like that of Philomela the
daughter of Pandion, King of
Athens, who was changed into a
“Nightingale.” World Weary Pantomine

beautifully for a child and as she
concealed herself to see what the
dicision of the lovers would be
whom she brought together very
unexpectedly, reminded many of
the celebrated deity, the god of
love and love it’s self.
The recitations rendered by
Misses Nannie Benson, Maymie
Elder, Edna Killian and Susie
Hailes were all good and last came
the meeting of the Antihomo
Maiden Society, composed of old
maids and bachelors, and they
rightly derserved that title, and as
the old bachelors appeared on the
stage with broken limbs and dud
ish airs. Many rounds of applause
from the audince greeted them as
they were placed upon the block
and sold by the red nose auctioneer
in his long duster of “Ye Olden

A Sad Death.
One of the saddest death’s that
ever occured in Arabi was that of
Mrs. K. M. Patterson Inst Wednes
day rooming at 9 o’clock She
was sick only a few hours.
Funeral servece* were conducted
at the Baptist church at Arabi
Thursday morning and her remains
were interred at Zion Hope ceme
tery. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev-• Owens
of the Presbyterian church of tins
city, assisted bj r Rev. .T- .1. Hyman
of the Baptist church at Arabi.
She was a consistent member of
the Presbyterian church and has
been active in the service since.
She was a noble woman and highly
beloved by everyone who knew
her. She leaves a devoted husband
and five children.
Truly Arabi has lost one of her
grandest and sweetest characters,
and the husband and children a
devoted and loving wife and moth
er.
Our deepest sympathy is extend
ed to those in bereavement.
Snwanee Hotel Kitchen Burned.
Last Sunday morning about
4:80 o’clock, the alarm of fire was
turned in from the fire depart
ment headquarters, and upon in
vestigation the fire was found to
be in the kitchen of the Suwanee
Hotel.
It looked for awhile as though
the large three story building was
doomed, and it was feared that
there would be several business
houses near by, destroyed .
The Hotel is located near the
city fire department and the fire
men were not long in bringing the
water to play on the flames as they
licked the walls of the building.
While the fire was raging at its
highest some of our prominent that
citizens were overheard to say
they would not give ten dollars
for the building, believing that it
was doomed.
But the firemen worked faith
fully and effectively, and th >ugh
they were at some disadvantage-,
they soon had the fire under con
trol, and only the kitchen burned.
Our fire boys deserve great praise
for their splendid work, in saving
the main building. fixtures of
Tbe furniture and
the kitchen and large dinning hall
are a complete loss, amounting to
about $300.00, which is covered by
insurance. The damage done to
the building is estimated at from
$2,000 to $3,000.
It is not known how the fire
originated. Manager Collins says
that so soon as the insurance can
adjusted and the building re
paired, that he will be ready to
serve the public again. It is not
mown just exactly how long this
will take.

Peabody Institute.
Editor Sentinel •
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to thank the citizens
for the hospitable took manner in
which they care of the teach
ers during the Peabody Institute,
which begun on the 17th of June,
ended on the 28th. It certainly
capped the climax of any former
event of the kind known to Cor
dele.’s history. Hon. E. (}. Green,
the S. C. was present o" the
opening day, and told in a very appro
priate speech the teachers of
the great opportunity that had
come ti them and entreated them
to use it wisely, lie spoke with
pride as he turned to the experts
and expressed his confidence in
their ability fcn give entire satis
faction along all lines tor which
they had been Prof. appointed. We are
thankful to J. T. Saunders
for the interest shown that the in
stitute would be’a success. All of
which was realized and will long
be remembered. Prof. G. W. F.
Philips of Amerieus, Prof. E H.
Neil principal of Cordele Public
School were the experts,
Prof. Randolph of Dooly- was
appointed secretary. Prof, Phil
lips gave instructions in geography,
grammar, history and writing.
Prof. Neil instructed in reading,
spelling, arithmatic and school
government. We will always have
cause to be
thankful to the authorities for the
experts they gave us, and from
whose hands the teachers received
so much needed instructions. We
thank each society and family for
the many ways in which they
proved themselves for our com
fort unitingly, and when our
minds revert to the night of the
26th, at Mt. Calvary where the
brothers and sisters aiding society
headed by Rev.M.J, Morris gave a
janquet that would do credit to
any city in the state; given especi
ally for and free of all cost to the
teachers, the C. S. C. of Schley
county was present, and all named
it the ‘‘Comeagain the Banquet.”
Just before the feast, teachers
gave a short literary exercise, con
sisting of recitations and songs.
Too much praise cannot be given
them for the manner in which they
acquitted themselves.
We are indebted to Prof. Phil
ips for two volcanoes of his own
production. We are indebted to
‘i*rof. Neil for the able manner pre
sented to us in arithmatic and in
cluding all examples of the last
examination.
We part to meet again one year
lence, and pray for the same bles
sings we enjoyed of in Christ Cordele and
Yours for the cause
the upbuilding of humanity.
