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 Livingston High School. Livingston High School closed last with a picnic at Snapping This has been one of the if not the most, successful terms the history of the school. On April the thirtieth the school to the Tabernacle at Oak Hill, be with the patrons and show them they had done at school. It proven beyond a doubt that all done fine work; but this is sec¬ 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 the school-house and grounds, and we think that we stand a fine to win a State prize. The community feels greatly bene¬ in securing such an able corps teachers, for the past term, as J. O. Martin and Misses Pruitt, and Webb, and it is with much that we learn that we shall have our beloved teacher, Prof. with us next term. That prosperity, happiness and follow him where ever he may his abode, is the wish of ever and patron. 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 Straws AND Panamas. * Call around and look at our new Lids. Straws==they’re here ga= lore. Yatch and Milans $1.00 to $3.50.

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.

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
