1* ' THE GAZETTE s TIFTON, GA., FRIDA^T, MARCH 2.1894. CORRESPONDENCE. The Labor of An Efficient Corps of County Reporters. Sutton Item*. Sutton - , February 27.—The wen til er for the past few weeks has been very unpleasant. It lias been too "wet for the fanners to do much to ward preparing their lands for the year’s crop. It has also been severe on live stock. The girls say it has also been unpleasant, especially the last three Sundays, for their beaux. We have a flourishing school now at Zion Hope church, with forty-eight Scholars in attendance and Prof. <>, L, Chesnntt at the helm. The cold weather has rendered it uneomforta- ble for both teacher and pupils, but perhaps patrons think that with cool brains their children can learn better and faster. However, the patrons and pupils are well pleased with their teacher. The young people of tins eomtnu* riit.y were greatly disappointed last Wednesday night, the rain prevented them from having a social party. There is evidence that Homebody got a ducking in t he creek last Sun day. J’art of a wagon was lost, but 1 guess it will ho recovered when the water goes down. It plenty of water and nearness to it is any indication, it is a good time to go fishing. A majority of the fanners in this vicinity have finished rolling logH. Mrs. H. ('. Hutchinson, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. .las. Fletcher, returned homo last Sunday. Miss Sailio Hutchinson planted a grain of coffee last June. It soon came up and grew off linoly. She has protected it. through the winter and now it is four or five toot high. Hho says she wouldn’t take anything for her little coffee tree. The writer wishes her good luck in raising it. Somme.

Knjoma, Febiuury H*.—The writer has been a teacher in this and other counties of the State for a period of about nine years. In my first ven ture as an instructor I discovered an impediment in the progress of educa tion, a fruitful source of discord, al though 1 was a mere lad. It grew out of a conflict of views by the au thors of text-hooks and the froquenl change of text-books by the Hoards of Education and compelling patrons of public schools to buy new hooks every time changes are made. In deed I have watched this matter grow from bad to worse until it lias absolutely become a burden upon the people, a menace to the cause of edu cation, humbled the pride of teachers and driven many of them in disgust from the profession. it seoins to me to bo good policy on the part of the law-making power of the State to provide an uniform se ries of text books to lie changed not oftener than fifteen or twenty years; the true teacher, who is teaching for the good of humanity as well as the pay there is in the profession, will keep up with all the new and im proved methods, principles and appli ances, as his success will depend on their doing so. I am satisfied the in terest manifested by tile people in the public schools would ho greatly en hanced thereby. Let adoption of books be made by ic State School Commissioner for every county in the State, so that there will lie uniformity throughout tlie State. Let every book have Ins special and thorough inspection be fore adoption. Why? Hccauso a large proportion of the members of nut County Hoards of Kduoation, while they arc good and Iruo mem haven’t seen inside of a text-book for years and really their minds are too much diverted to the feeding ami care of horses, cows, bogs, and herd ing of sheep, to do justice in tint se lection of a series of text-books. Hut Commissioner Hradwell’s mind is fixed on this matter, he Is an eminent half his wages in accounts. He real ly mado little progress for the lack of literature. Tho injustice perpetrated on the people by the frequent change of text books is why Mr. A. or B. did not buy books according to the teaciicr’s request—they didn’t have tho money. It is keeping many poor children out of school and it might be justly add ed -robbing them of a common Kug- lisli education. I know children who are out ot school to-day because their parents ure unable to buy books to keep up with overy change. Our county officers excuse themselves by saying ‘‘they are executing the law” and—the mutiny continues the next year. II. A. IIknduicks.

Well, Mr. A. or B.'will send word to the teach er by one of Ids children that ho will get tho books as soon ns he can get the money and goes to town. The poor teacher honestly goes to work ; he pulls, drags and somehow gets through till the next week, when one of the aforesaid children will say “Pap said they was no sicli books as you want, tluir, and be wants me to study the old blue-back speller if one lid is off.” Then comes the commis sioner, and fires up the teacher about the books, tells him new ottos have The Trade of This Section Demands, Oita ran tus,l to cure Itch n no minutes For sale by Jake IT. just boon adopted, and lie must hav the patrons buy Ilium.
