We hail a special <lay at school last Monday. Abont 20 of our patrons were present, among them our neighbor, Rev. Jackson. We have a larger school now than at this period lust year. Rev. Ar nold, of McDonough, fa- ored us with an address on “Obligation of parents to educate their children” Ho said in part: “Making a n .isc with the mouth is thinking shallow, with the mind deep thinking is done. It, it a du ty of parents to educate their chil dren parents and child express a relation and their duty grows out of this relation. There are three relations existing between parents and their children. The natural relation between a parent and child is in the divine order of things and this relation suggests a child. There is the providential relation which is not under our control. Then there is a funda mental relation which is at the bottom and makes manhood. Out of these existing relations is its service that you must pet from your boy ! If so then we have not departed very fur from the slavery condition over 200 years ago. Sla very was abolished with the over throw of feudalism. Yon have a natural right for the service cf your chile hut not a property light You can’t buy and sell your chil dren. Our children are ,he foun dation of our hemes, and wo par ents are the tirst teachers they have, you have laid a foundation iu their education that Johnson canned change. I tell yon that you parents lay the foundation of your child’s life, let it Ire worthy or un worthy. “Bishop Wright bought his son a toy airship and now from the he liocopter Wilbnr Wright is riding daily in the air—one ot the mar vels of our time. You are the tirst educator of your child. America has the glory of this invention and President Taft has given Bishop) Wright’s son a gold medal for his triumph. Linnaeus, the great botanist, was taught the elements of botany in the garden by his fa ther and the world will never get over that man’s work. “I attended a convention recent ly and one good old brother, Wil lis, had to leave the convention, he expressed his grief on having to leave to me. Said he, I am so densely ignorant that lam asham ed to stay in this great body cf highly learned men any longer; my father denied me the benefit of an education “A young man brings me a let ter from his sick father in a far country to read for him. I asked him who read his letters for him. He suid I take them over thero in the field to a negro boy and he reads them to mo. Well why cant yon read your letters? My father said he, made me work ; you have your pointer dog trained, and make your hoy work in the held till Christinas and then give him a few months in school and that cut into pieces by work at home in the fields. Oh, what a sad neglect on the part of most people in this country! “Mt n with an education are ma king dead things speak. Give your hoy a chance in the schools and then he can do things. “You wonder why my boy is so restless ; your boy by nature seeks to know things. He runs here and there with his limited opportuni ties and naturally st eks to find the secret things. Why do you want those teachers? Can you calculate their value? Go buy iron in the rough and it will cost you $28.00 per ton ; send it to the high school of the blacksmith and have if worked into horse shoes and it will be worth SIOO per ton ; send it to the high school of the knife facto ry and it will he worth $2,000 per I ton : send it to the high school of i needle factory and it will be worth se,ooo per ton ; send it to the high , school of the watch spring factory and it will be worth $250,000a ton. j “So yen see crude iron under the i horse becomes something valua ! ble in the watch springs. Tlio common idea of children is that , they are incidents in life. The common aim of men is to succeed ! for his child. Which is best to succeed for the child or to succeed in the child? 1 would rather suc ceed m my child. i “In :ny school days we read at jLb now they read at 6. What edu | cation may do for us is wonderful. | W. G. Barrett was a common ig : norant man. He married an edci j cated woman. She raised his am bition and he through her made a success. Andrew Johnson, but for an educated wife would never have been president of the United States. “It is a reflection on any state to have to compel its people to edu cate their children. Mrs. Wesley told her boy the some lesson 19 j times. This boy was John Wes j ley. She succeeded in her boy. I 1 believe it is in mothers at least , Mother has the power above all. I Women should he wise in the keep i ing of the character of their cliil | dren. Yon are not first of all a housekeeper ; you are a character builder.; no despotism can rob your | child of its education. It should be your holiest aim to give it an education. They will advertise vour life and your fldelidyas noth -1 ing else can.” i " Mr. Duffey made us a visit last week ; lie made a good talk for us which was every word a gem. We are always glad to see Mr. Duffey. | lie is a very useful factor in my ! personal work at school; has given , me much encouragement in many phases of the work. There is no doubt hut that he is much inter ested in the schools and children of Henry county, I heard a re sponsible man, a lawyer in McDon ongh, shv he is one of the best commissioners in the state.
