BILL ARP'S LETTER
Bartow Man Has Little Faitll In
Manual Training Schema.
>I1E .... .TRIfcO II £14N\ LONG YEAlxS AGO
Furnishes Interesting and Laughable
Narration of His Experience In
.that Line While a College
Student.
Manual training is no new thing.
About sixty years ago we boys had it
.at the Manual Labor school in old
Gwinnett. We had to work with our
| haruls three hour s a day. We worked
with Live hoe or the ax or plowed corn
.aud cottQn or hauled wood or did some
kind qj j arm wor h an( j the three hours
of manual labor was intended to pay
Lor our board. But that was a mis
Ute. The boys didn’t do one hour's
faithful work; they frolicked. Captain
Garmany,, the old hero of Shepherd’s
plantation during the Creek war, was
the overseer and he said he had rath
er fight Indians than watch those
boys. He was a good-hearted, brave
mao, but Ire couldn’t manage a hun
Hred boys who hadn’t been raised to
work and wbose father ® were rich and
had negroes to work their farms.
Most of these hoys had been wild at
home and had been sent to this school
to be tamed and reformed. Poor Cap
tain Garmany . He pleaded with them
and took the foremost row and showed
them how to hold the plow or split
rails or grind an ax, but when he was
watching and training one squad in
one field, another squad in another
field would slip off and go in washing.
The old-fashioned wagons had linch
pins to hold the wheels on and some
times the boys would lose a linch pin
on the way to the woods and the wheel
would come off and they would go back
to the blacksmith shop to get another
pin and fool away the time until the
three hours were out and not a load of
wood hauled. Captain Garmany gave
up in despair before the year was out
and they tried another with no better
success. As a general rule, a rich man's
son is not going to work with his
hands. We had a very fine lot of
boys from the best families, such as
the Gouldings and Holts, of Columbus;
the Lintons, of Athens; the Allens, of
Clarkesville; the Hendricks, of Butts,
and a lot of Harrises and Hoyles and
Woffords and Johnsons, but they eat
more than they earned and so the ex
periment proved a failure and the
manual labor feature was abandoned
and my father, who had inaugurated it
and was president of the board, had
to foot the bill of $3,000 for its failure,
Since that day it has been set down as
a maxim that three hours of work of
a rich man’s son won’t feed him. But
these boys didn’t turn out bad. Most
of them made good scholars and citi
zens. Thomas Allen became comp
troller general of the state, Ned Gould
ing was colonel of the Ninth Georgia,
and William T. Wofford a brigadier
general, and Dr. Jim Alexander and
Dr. Hendricks stand high in their pro
fession. Gig Wright and Bill Wright
and Ramsey Alexander and James
Maltbie became judges of the circuit
courts.
I was ruminating about good old Dr.
Patterson, our principal—how' fat he
was and how faithful and indulgent
and sometimes of a hot sultry after
noon, while we were blundering along
through Caesar’s commentaries, he
would go fast asleep in his chair and
we would skip a whole paragraph and
keep on reading and skipping until his
book would fall on the floor and wake
him up. Then he would hunt all about
to find out where we were at, but he
never complained or made any sign of
suspicion. I remember our debating
society and how once a month, on Fri
day evening, we had to take sides
and discuss some great question.
About a dozen of the older boys were
engaged in it, and though I was the
smallest, I was right smart and my
father helped me and I held my own
with the big boys. I remember when
the question was who was the great
est man that ever lived, and each boy
had to choose a different man and ad
vocate his claims. If two or more
wanted the same man, Dr. Patterson
had to settle it. My father told me
to choose Ben Franklin and I have nev
er changed my opinion since, for I con
vinced myself that he was the best
all round man that history tells of. He
was the fifteenth of seventeen chil
dren, never went to school after he
was ten years old, was apprenticed to
his brother, who was a printer; ran
away from him when he was 17, hired
to a printer in Philadelpha; next year
was sent to London to buy stock for a
new printing office, but the promised
money was not sent, so he hired to an
other printer; after two years return
ed to Philadelphia, invented a copper
plate press—the first in America—mar
ried Miss Deborah Read in 1730, when
he was 24 years old; founded The
Pennsylvania Gazette and rose to com
petence and renown. pounded the
Philadelphia library in 1731; publish
ed Pcor Richard’s almanac for twenty
five years; in 1736 was chosen
master of Philadelphia; in 1743 found
'- ai Society and the Academy of
Sciences, investigated electricity and
took-rank with the great discoverers
and was elected F. R. S. of London and
Edinburgh. In 1753 was appointed
postmaster general of the colonies. He
was tin? defender of all colonial inter
est.?:; was sent to England to have the
stamp act repealed; labored hard to
prevent war, but failed; came home
: ’ Ild sts« pd the Declaration of Inde
peiidence; was sent to France to se
vrre aid and recognition and succeed
od; signed Hie treaty of peace at Par
is "m 1738; died in 1790; on motion of
Mlrabeau the national assembly of
Franco put on mourning tor him. In
the constitutional convention of 1787
his last motion was that congress
should open its sessions with prayer,
and this is done to this day.
What a record is that tor a poor,
friendless, uneducVed boy to make.
I have recorded it in this letter as an
example for poor boys everywhere.
The territory of Tennessee belonged
originally to North Carolina and was
called the territory of Washington.
The settlers, however, named it Frank
lin and for three years it bore that
name—the state of Franklin. In 1785,
after North Carolina had ceded it to
the United States, congress got to
quarreling over the name and couldn’t
agree on either Washington or Frank
lin and compromised on the name of
that long, crooked Indan river. Wasn't
that a shame? It should be Franklin
now.
Well, I gained my case, in that de
bate—at least my father did, for he
trained me. I gained it over Napoleon
and Washington and Jefferson and
Shakespeare and Newton and Demos
thenes and others and am still proud
to recall the victory.
But the tact remains that there is no
greatest man. There is the greatest ora
tor, the greatest philosopher and poet
and preacher and statesman afi/1 gen
eral and discoverer and inventor and
painter and sculptor, but each of
these is greatest only in his own pro
fession. Outside of that most of great
men were weak and childish and some
of them corrupt. Lord Bacon was per
haps the greatest writer on political
economy and public morals, but he ac
cepted bribes while on the Cench and
publicly confessed it, and was deposed
and fined 10,000 pounds and sent to
prison. Pope says of him that he was
the wisest, brightest and meanest of
mankind. Sir Isaac Newton was so
absent-minded that it made him appear
ridiculous. When the lire burned him
he called his servant and told him to
move it back. It did not occur to him
that he could move back himself. His
favorite cat came into his room
through a hole in the bottom of the
door. When she had five kittens ho
ordered five smaller holes cut for
them to pass in and out. Zerali Col
burn was no doubt the greatest natural
mathematician who ever lived. When
he was ten years old he could multiply
any number of numerals in his head
and give the answer instantly, but he
was almost an idiot about other things,
and when 23 years old lost his faculty
in figures. The admirable Crichton
when sixteen years old was the most
learned classical scholar in Europe and
could converse fldently in twenty lan
guages, but could not do a sum in tho
simple rule of three. Goldsmith had
no superior as a writer of pure Eng
lish, both in prose and poetry, but he
couldn’t utter a respectable sentence
in conversation. Dr. Johnson said of
him: "He wrote like an angel and
talked like a parrot.” John Wesley
was a very great preacher and a wri
ter of sacred hymns, but he was not
wise enough to choose a goc\l wife
nor great enough to subdue and keep
her after he bad chosen. When she left
him he said: “I did not forsake her.
I did not dismiss her. i will not recall
her.” Petruchio did not tame his Kate
that way. Lord Byron was an un
principled rake. Napoleon left a dark
cloud over his fame by divorcing Jo
sephine. In fact, almost every great
genius had some defect or some foul
blot in the make-up of his character.
Our Heavenly Father did not choose
to create one perfect man or woman,
not one. Just think .what faculties it
would require in a man to be as great
an orator as Demosthenes or Webster
as great a poet as MB.ton or Shake
speare, as great a philosopher as Plato
or Socrates, as great a preacher as
Wesley or Jonathan Edwards, as great
a composer as Mozart or Beethoven, as
great a painter as Raphael or Michael
Angelo, as great an astronomer as New
ton or Gallileo, or as great a general
and patriot as Washington—wouldn’t
he be a wonderful man? If there was
such a man and he could live on and on
the world wouldn’t need kings or ar
mies, for he would rule it wisely and
well and all the people would say
amen.—Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitu
tion.
