Tlie Public School Question
A train.
In last weeks issue of the Gazette
was pnblisned a few running com
ment* of a general nature on the pub-
Hc school question. In that article
mention was made of the impractica
bility of crowding the schools bro
much, and some recent events which
have occurred in our county tending
to this verj undesirable result calls
forth a few additional thoughts on
the same line.
It may be said in a general way
that nothing cripples the working of
the school system in any community
more than division among the patrons
This is a very common evil and has
ruined many a fine school both in
town and country.
It takes the united effort of the
people, especially in the country, to
keep up a school worthy of the name,
in any given neighborhood. 1 here
are several important reasons for this,
A few may be mentioned. Farming
people need the help of their older
children during crop time. A great
many of us are not able to hire the
help needed on the farm, and the boy
who has just made a fine stan in hi.s
studies must be stopped from school
to follow the plow and assist for two
or three months in the year at least.
This leaves only the small children to
make up tho classes in the schoo]
room.
Another reason is that all the help
wo can get is required to build and
equip the. school houso itself, anJ if
the people are divided, the teacher
must do the best he can, in a very
imperfect way, in such budding ns
may bo convenient, or improved for
the work.
Asa result the teacher and pupils
become discouraged, the classes divi
ded down and down until by the first
of May or otten earlier the school is
vacated or given up altogether.
In several instances in our own
county some little difference*, small
and insignificant at first have led to
crimination and recrimination quarrel
after quarrel and ultimate division of
the patrons, until one faction loaves
Hie other and, up they go with the
case to County Hoard of Education.
Boards of Education cannot make
people leve eacbother or forget their
differences and the breach widens un
til 1 the neighborhood on either side
eft without a school or about as good
as none.
To an outsider such differences ap
pear ridiculous. Men who are pav
ing taxes and who have spent time,
labor and money m the cause of edu
cation allow themselves to be deprived
of tbeir just dues and often fnllji vic
tim to some traveling q lack -teacher
whoso soul delights in keeping up di
vision. Like “Ramsey Sniffles in the
Georgia Scenes,” they in keep
ing up ill will among neighbors. There
are a fow such teachers, but thank
goodness they are very few, and 1
know of none in Banks county.
Now suppose these neighbors and
friends lay down all their differences
and call a meeting and organize a
board of trustees.
Than what ?
Well, they can erect anew school
house provided with platform, black
boards arrangements for lighting
healing and ventilation reading charts
numeral frame, outline maps, globes,
library ote. And all this can be done
at a small cost. Lumber is cheap,
much of the labor can be douo by
subscription. In fact it is useless tc
mention these poiuts because where
there is a will there is a way
i
Now let dwell for a moment on the
good results. Generally when you
can get men to see their own interest
it is easy to secure action. In this
case it would be the veiy best invest
went of money, from a busin gs view
that could be imagined, because it
saves boarding your boys and girls
away from home, with all the heart
aches and head headaches and anxie
ties attendant there to besides the ex
pense. It brings the facilities for
teaching, and the teaching itself right
up to your own door and gives you
the full benefit of the money you pay
as taxes into the school fund.
It gives your children a chance to
develon their mental powers, and fits
them for station of profit and honor
both in church and state; in short you
bequeath to them a legacy far better
than money or lands.
It increases the .value of your own
property, it add? a large percentage of
actual value to every acre of land you
possess, and lends a charm of happi
ness and refinement to every homo.
L.
Some people seem to forgot that
the man v ho works for nothing arid
boards ' himself, rarely earns more
Mian lie gets —Ex.
Of the 350 members composing the
next Houso of Representatives, 162
have never served in Congress. The
republican membership will be 116
old members and 133 recruits.—lix,

THE GENUINE MERIT
Of Hood’s Sarsaparilla wins friends
wherever it is fairly and honestly tried
l’o have perfect health, you must
have pure blood, and the best way to
have pure blood is to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, the blood purifier and
strength builder. It expels all taint
of scrofula, salt rheum and all other
humors and at the same time builds
up the whole system.
