Graduating Class of Livingston High School Which Closed Last Friday.
of the full kind, embracing the physi¬
cal, mental and spiritual.
These schools are furnishing the in¬
struction needed for those who have
passed through the primary schools
supported by the public, but who are
not yet prepared for entrance upon
college work. These young people are
just at an age when is being settled
with and for them the question of the
larger or the more limited life—wheth¬
er they will be satisfied with the
merest rudimentary learning, or will
go on in search of that larger mental
development which will fit thepi for
widest v.s3fulness in the service of
God and man. If they can be led to
the high school, the probability is that
very many of them will seek the
highest and the best that the country
affords in mental training, with the
broader usefulness that this makes
possible for them. Otherwise, they
will surrender the hopes and aspira¬
tions that have begun to arise in their
minds, and sink back into the nar¬
rowness of a comparative ignorance.
These young people are also in a
formative state religiously, and it is a
matter of supreme importance that
just at this period of their lives, when
the mind is growing and the heart is
questioning, they should be placed un¬
der the influence of those who can
not only help to develop the mind
along right and wise lines, but can
also direct the heart’s inquiries unto
a true satisfaction in Him who is its
true life.
We think that we risk nothing in
saying that the best equipped leaders
in the churches of tomorrow are being
trained today in our Christian schools.
Just one illustration: Pastor Aquila
Chamlee, of Forsyth, told us, a few
days ago, that over one hundred young
women of Bessie Tift College had
pledged themselves for work during
vacation on the line of missionary in¬
struction and inspiration in their home
churches and neighborhoods. Trained
in these studies at school and armed
with missionary literature, these peo¬
ple will go forth, with loving hearts,
to do a far-reaching work for the
Master.
Not only so, but in those schools
there are being trained now scores of
young men whose hopes are set on
doing the work of the Lord in the
ministry. Instead of entering on this
great work with little or no adequate
preparation, these are laying broad
and deep foundations, upon which, in
college and seminary, they will build
a superstructure of education which,
devoted to the service of the Lord,
will make them master workmen, at
home and abroad.
No other institutions under the sun
can do for our boys and girls what
these schools can do and are doing,
and doing well. And it gives us no
little pleasure to utter a plea for them
to the brethren at large. Brethren,
do not turn a deaf ear, nor extend an
empty hand, to the representatives of
these schools, as they come to you to
ask you for help in putting them into
the very best possible condition to do
the great work which is upon them
now, and which opens before them
larger and greater in the years to
come. It will not hurt you to give
them a few dollars a year for the next
four or five years, and it will do them
great and lasting good. When these
representatives come to you do not
turn them away without considering
their appeals. Listen to them kindly
and patiently, and then encourage
them and help forward the work by as
liberal gifts as possible. And even
'though you may not be able to give
large sums, do not say them nay, but
help them, remembering that many
small sums will make a great one.
Tbe Churches and the State Schools.
BY J. L. D. HILLYER.
I have had it in mind for some time
to write something about the rela¬
tions between the churches and the
State schools. The incidents con¬
nected with the recent education con¬
ference in Atlanta furnish a fitting
occasion for what I want to say.
Bishop Candler has presented the
prospect for our endowed institutions
to pass under the control of the edu¬
cational “trust” that the General Ed¬
ucational Board has developed cr is
rapidly developing into. That such a
combination as that board has come

This has been one of the
if not the most, successful terms

On April the thirtieth the school

they had done at school. It
proven beyond a doubt that all

importance compared with
inspiration the children have re¬
to go forward and educate
to meet the impartant
that will confront them in
near future.
The school has done a lot of work

we think that we stand a fine

in securing such an able corps

The Schools.
BV T. P. BELL, D. D.
The campaign is now well on for the
of money for the better equip¬
and, in some cases, partial en¬
of the secondary schools in
parts of the State.
That these schools constitute an ex¬
important part of our de¬
equipment for Christian
is becoming more and more
every day. In them are gath¬
large numbers of boys and girls,
from the rural sections, who,
and conscientious Chris¬
teachers, are being fitted for the
of life. The training given is
THE COVINGTON NEWS
to be, may largely dominate the
schools of the country, has been
made very plain by Bishop Candler’s
article. That there is already in the
South, a disposition not to sell out, is
beyond question. A few years ago
The Florida Baptists turned their
backs on the magnificient Stetson
University, because the managers of
that school refused to allow it to come
under effective denominational con¬
trol. The sentiment in the South is
to preserve the old faith and to pro¬
tect it against such attacks as Mr.
Rockefeller’s millions have made pos¬
sible at Chicago. We repudiate the
snivelling claim that we must allow
men who teach, the liberty to study
and to think. We do that in its
truest and broadest sense, and have
always done it. And we remember
that it is, ‘‘the fool that says in his
heart that there is no God.” And
when the stuff sent out from those in¬
stitutions that are given over to reck¬
less materialism, is analyzed it is rank
atheism. Those “fools” have said in
their hearts, there is no God. In
those institutions men are set to
teach the Bible and theology and bi¬
ology and the other sciences that
have to do with the relations of men
to his Creator, when they have no
knowledge of God in their hearts,
and no fear of Him before their eyes.
They are in unbelief and sin, strang¬
ers to the commonwealth of Israel
and to the covenants of promise. I
say this because their pronunciation
of the Shibboleth hisses in the tongue
of the Ephraimite. If they were of
the kingdom they would bring forth

against infidelity. This Georgia sys¬
tem is as good as it is possible to have
a public school system.
We have need therefore to watch
lest those who fear not God, but
trusting in their pride and power of
learning and wealth, they rob us of
our birth right. Let them help us if
they will, but let them not dictate
our policies.

the fruits thereof. W T e have nothing
to hope for in education, that comes
tainted with such license, as some of
these teachers claim in the name of
liberty. If they were not in the pay
of the same sources of wealth that
support the Education Board there
would be no fairness in classing them
together. But the connection be¬
tween them is notorious.
The attempt has been made to sug¬
gest a parallel with our State free
schools. This cannot be done suc¬
cessfully. The Constitution of Geor¬
gia declares that the Bible shall jiot
be excluded from the public schools.
While nobody wishes the Bible to be
a text-book in the schools its influ-*
ence is there. Our school trustees,
from the university down, are in the
main under Bible influence. Our
teachers are generally Christians.
The Chancellor of the university has
always been a pronounced Christian,
and so of most of our schools. We
have therefore in the personalities of
