Who Gets The Carnation?
As he stepped down from the pulpit
the people crowded around him. “0
doctor, that w 7 as a precious sermon!”
“That did my 7 very 7 soul good!” “God
bless you, doctor, that strengthened
me!” “Thank you from my 7 heart!”
Anything wrong about these expres¬
sions? No: they seemed sincere, with
no taint of ilattsrv in them. If the
hearers felt thus, it w r as very
for them to say 7 so.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
More or Less.
It looks to us like just now our
educational interests hinge upon
either more or les£ support of our
public school system, We mean by
that that they must have better sup¬
port from the state or taxpayers or
they must have no support at
all.
To be trank we look upon our
public school system as it is now 7
conducted as a mishap. The au
thorites in charge of it are evident¬
ly doing the best they can with the
means placed at their command.
They are “sitting up nights” to
make a little go a long ways, but
they are not equal .to the task ot
making the means at their disposal
provide a school system that is any
way near what the country 7 ought to
have and what the public feels that
vve are in need of.
The system thus provided is just
about sufficient to deter the people
from providing adequate education¬
al advantages for their ehildien by
their own efforts. They are led to
hope and believe that it will grow 7
into what they want and hence are
waiting, when otherwise they 7 would
be up aud doing to obtain the ad¬
vantages the need of which they
recognize.
This has been going on for years
and the people, that is, those who
realize the shortcomings of our
present school facilities and desire
better, are becoming restive and
doubtful if ever the public school
system can be made what it should
be.
From this restiveness has come
the advocacy of local taxation to
supplement the funds the st B te can
appropriate to the system to make
them adequate to provide a system
that will be effectual in giving the
children of the common schools
such educational training as will
prove of some lasting benefit to
them.
A supplemental sum from some
source or other is an absolute neces¬
sity. We connot expect to obtain
as a rule good teachers for such sala¬
ries as are now paid the teachers of
our public schools; we cannot expect
to provide our schools with neces
ary equipment for teaching with no
funds in sight for that purpose,
It seems evident that the patrons
j Q f these schools are not going to
j p rov ide the means for these better
! salaries or for these epuipments so
; j on g a .s we have what we are told is
j ;i f ree school system, in
f\ ie re fore, if there is no way
J j ■which more funds can be provided
t j iat our public school system may
j ^ improved and made efficient let’s
a bandon it entirely and go back to
j t p e 0 j d p ] an w hen the people pledged of com
mun jties got to gether and
themselves to do so much towards
p 3 yj n g t j ]e sa lary of a teacher and
: s0 much towards providing aschool
] i 10 use and its equipment and then
< sflW tliat a goo d teacher was secur
e(1 an d that he did his duty good
j ^ weJ1 and t ] iat their children
advanced educationally and so on
' the country
That was done when
was far more sparsely populated
than now and when the people
were not generally in as good
financial condition as now; and
they had schools and a reasonable
plenty of then, and they were bet
I i V least tar .. ad- 1
| ter schools, at so educationally, educationally, as
van cing children
h nan have now under the pub-
1 lie school system There T T. , were
generally better teachers of those
schools too, because they received
better pay 7 for their services and re¬
ceived it more promptly than now.
A properly supported public
school system is one of the greatest
institutions of any country or
people, but a half-way supported
system is about as great a hind¬
rance as can be put in the way of
educational advancement. That’s ' 7
the way we see it and hence are
firm in our belief that it would be
better to do away with the public
school system we now 7 have entirely
if there is no w 7 ay it can be more
liberally supported.—Oglethorpe
