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.

GEORGIA EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Office of the President Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 7, 1925 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.

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.
