PATRIOTISM and EDUCATION
I
.phis is the month of Linsoln and
Washington, the two great emanci
pators; the transformers of the ear
ly -deals of this nation into tangible
accomplishments! . In commenxorat
ing the respective Wrtk anmversa
rit?6 of these commanding figures of
our history, men, women and chil
dren of the present vision with re
newed appreciation our nation's
struggle for liberty and democracy
and the resultant equality to all
the opportunity to emerge regardless
0 r environment or circumstances.
Abraham Lincoln, the child of pov
erty and democracy; George Wash
ington, the scion of wealth and aris
tocracy. yet both arose in this free
dom-loving land to the highest office
within the gift of the nation. The
won th of February may, therefore,
be well termed the patriotism-reju
venating period.
It has been said that ‘Civilization
is in a race between Education and
Catastrophe.’ The nation that cher
ishes the memory of Lincoln and
Washington shall not fail in its duty
in eivilization’s race and will rear its
childhood in the environment of the
ideals as established by these men.
We did not fail on Flanders Field—
neither shall catastrophe triumph.
The heritage of our heroes we will
eternally treasure. We are accom
plishing this by setting up an educa
tion which gives inspiration to our
patriotism, that stimulates ambitions
and ideals for service. This system
we shall jealously guard and foster
as a memorial to these men; it thus
becomes a patriotic factor; it elim
inates class and engenders a univer
sal love of country; it becomes a
foremost proponent of national ide
als; it evaluates truth for truth’s
sake, concerning itself with equality
of opportunity and measuring results
in terms of ability to serve.
In the World War, through those
who stood for it, this same force
proved a citidel to national morale.
It is now knocking at the doors of
legislation seeking laws where laws
are not to carry the American Flag
into every school; it is the motive
power which has led thirty metripol
itan newspapers to initiate a nation
wide oratorical contest on the inter
pretation ef our Constitution, a na
tional movement which President
Coolidge has 'outspokenly endorsed.
It is making Americanism the foun
dation stone; it is untiring in its ad
vocacy of universal culture, irre
spective of origiin, status or envi
ronment. ....
The work of our YESTERDAYS
has been done. The task of the TO
MORROWS is still in our hands, in
which education mtist be recognized
as the foundation of future progress,
the enemy of crime, the backbone of
Morals, the conservator of the home
and the essential of citizenship.
This is our task—the translation
through education of these ideals in
to realities.
Lincoln and Washington—“ May
more such men be ours.”

TO CITY AND COUNTY SUPERIN
TENDENTS,
Dear Fellow Workers:—•
Our efficient secretary, Hon.
Kyle T. Alfriend, has outtlined to
y*ou the method of orgaization of a
county unit #f the Georgia Educa
tion Association. A number of our
counties have responded and effected
x county organization. Many have
not yet done so. We wish to enroll
every teaeher in Geoigia as a mem
ber of the Georgia Education Asso
ciation. The benefits to be derived
from such an organisation are too
patent to need elaboration. These
I know you understand, but I enu
merate that you may speak ®f them
to your teachers.
1,. It increases the self-respect of
any teacher to know he or she is
allied with his profession, -working
with his fellow teachers . for the
cause ef education.
2. Mach valuable information is
disseminated through the volume of
speeches and proceedings which ev
ery member receives. These advan
tages are ours regardless of whether
we attend the sessions or not.
3. Every teacher who attends
gains inspisation for his or her work
and gathers a multitude of new ideas.
Even if a teacher doe.s not attend
he or she receives many of these
ideas through supervisors or others.
The membership dues help to defray
these expenses. We receive the
benefit. Gratitude should cause us
to help pay for that which we re
ceive. • • • •
4. Practically every educational
reform has been originated by or
fostered by the Georgia Educational
Association. Many of the best laws
for teachers and children have been
endorsed and worked for by the
Georgia Education Association.
5. At present the Georgia Educa
tion Association is planning reforms
beneficial to and uplifting
to the State. This will be made into
bills and introduced at the next
meeting of the Legislature. A Leg
islative Committee will confer with
the Superintendent of Schools in the
State and offer assistance in all edu
cational affairs. The teacher must
give the cause of education their
support. Thig can be done in no bet
ter way than by joining the Geor-

Uncle lorhsvl^,
That our sweethearts must be
looked at is a mandate mighty
true, but, when she has gal
oshes on —wal, I dunno . . .
do you? I seldom look at an
kles, bein’ prudent—more or
less—but when we’re forced to
see ’em, then we ain’t to blame,
I guess.
I hate to see a tailored gal
set out upon a trip, when
there’s every indication that her
snaps has lost their grip,—
though galoshes might be
graceful—even carry an ap
peal, if they didn’t sag down,
ornery-like, and loaf around
the heel. I don’t enjoy my
privelege of actin’ like a spy,
when I need to elevate my chin,
and let folks ketch my eye.
And still, there’s urgent rea
sons which command a feller’s
view—like the innocent attrac
tion to a comely ladies’ shoe.
I couldn’t think of nothin' that
improves thG searchin’ mind,
like glancin’ at the beauties of
a noble woman-kind; and while
there’s laws of comfort that we
hardly dare forget, I never
liked galoshes, and—l wouldn’t
have a sett.
