TEACHER’S COLUMN.
DEVOTED TO THE INTER
EST OF EDUCATION
Com hi ii ii icat ions for tiiis Column
Should lie Addressed to
J. I*. Demly, Homer.
“The child,” says Supt. Gilbert “is
the only center for a correlated
course of study.” Hut think of child
hood in its infinite variety, and then
say who shall be equal to the task.
What about that Teacher’s Ass
associations that was spoken of dur
ing our Institute? Is it possible that
we the teachers of Banks count, are
going to remain dormant? Surely
someone will mention it next Satur
day, for on that day it will be an
opportune time to organize,
There is a despicable habit preva
lent throughout the country, and it
has, naturally perhaps, taken deep
root among uh, and that is the pre
fixing the title “Professoi” or rather
“Prefesser," to any and everybody’s
name. As we understand it, a pro
fessor is one who has been appointed
in a university or college to deliver
lectures and instruct the youths in
any particular branch. Along with
this are many other titles that arc
badly abused and we hear men every
where deploring the fact. Among
teachers professor means nothing
Ministers are becoming alarmed at
the great number of D; D's.. Phy
sicians alarmed at the great number
of “Doctors,” who attach the letters
M. I). to their signatures, and the
questions are asked; “Is that man
who you called Professor a Professor
in some college or an ordinary school
teacher. Is that gentleman you
called Doctor a skilled physician or
a quack or a scrub who cheated his
way through some medical college
and trying to cheat what lew people
patronize him?”
Those that use and abuse these
titles uro in the majority, but that
does not matter one into. Let us
as teachers endeavor to create a
sentiment .gainst the prostitution
of this once honorable title.
Education carries with it the idea
inequality; that the teacher has
Ronu-thmg-can imparl; the pupils
lack receive. Jt
is very necessary for us to be master
of our subject and to know our pupil
thoroughly if we are to expand the
intellect and moral nature, too. Wo
can make, no truth clear to our pupils
that we do not know full well our
selves. No institution can be groator
than its inslitutor.
Our mysterious human nature has
an uncomfortable habit of evolving
m cycles, and in the most unexpected
way, bringing instituious and
communities face to face with
situations and customs that were
supposed to have been outgrown
centuries ago. No plain .vet-age

hungers and thirsts after knowledge,

Hut just now, from the summit of the
mount called “Education,” we are
summoned “by the sound of trumpet
ami the voice of woods’’ to a gospel
which proclaims that “Interest” 13
the corner-stone of the“newest new
education-” The practical side of the
world was satisfied when Plato
disposed of the whole group of
philosophic fallacies that empty man
of his moral and mental responsibility
and leave him a more or less
ornimental craft drifting down the
stream of fatali 111 towards the ocean of
the unknowable. Hut, right here, the
most practical and sensible people 011

at bottom are anew vamping of half
a dozen ancient and honorable crotch j
ets, kicked down the back stairs'
into the world’s rubbish heap by
Plato almost two thousand ycats ago.
So does the world revolve and every
new generation of educators is
compelled to take up arms against
ideals and practices that were thrown
aside as worn out expedients so long
ago that our preoccupied generation
has not had time to red ihe history
of how they lived, flourished, died'
and “ were gatherd to their fathers
before this republic was born.—
School Journal.
The school room must be looked at as
far more than a place for perpetual
chanting of tables; it is a place f
exercising and developing the better
selves of tho pupils. The secret of the
kindergard en, missed by sc, many, is
that a natural expression of the child
is provided; his nature lias field for
operation. In the oidinary school an
artificial course of procedure is
followed, and a pupil may follow- it and
the teacher not know whether he is
morally good or bad, Brandt the
terrible Indian chief, who led the
attack on Wyoming, was a graduate of
Oxford; and it was said of him that in
the preparatory school that he gave
no sign of the wicked na r ure that was
in him. The popularity of the
kiuderga-den is an expression of the
instinct of parevits who feel lhat the
higher nature is encouraged to grow,
and that this is as it ought to be—

TWKNT -SEVEN YEARS
Has Wrought Great Changes
In Georgia.
Twenty-seven years has wrought
great changes in many ways in Geog
gia. It whs then we had come
through 4 years of cruel war, and set
tled down to the various occupations
of life. The couurry was almost des
titute of men; but as they were hr ve
ami courageous business was resume 1
and it was not long until those 4
years had passed forever and as the
people would look a way into the far
dim future they saw the light of hope
burst forth from behind the clouds of
soirow and misfoito i- to happy days
when the hum of the gieat, bright atvi
beautiful sunny south would bo fi11.,!
w; i Lor 'h n-sands of spindles gtvsns;
eaip’i'-yioc t to her poverty stricke
people and again place them in the
road that leads to wealth and civiliza
tion. To day we have lattstand best
improved machinery. To day wo
have rail roads traversing the inanv
fertile v.lh-ys of our south land-
Here are the ore and coal mines
furnishing employment to oth'.rs who
ar.i seeking happiness and content
merit. We li ave also good schools in
all parts of the eou nlry, w here people
are educ.aimg their children for the
great business that awaits them
Churches have been erected all
over the land until we can hear the
gospel preached by those who ar
working to enlarge the Kingd m of
God, and who would have all men
converted, and instead of our rouiqrv
being blighted with the curse of whis
ky and debauchery and crime be led
tc fields of usefulness. But things
are growing worse. Politics are rot.
ten. They have become corrupt
through lilie misuse of money whisky
and other means. Not long since tin
writer witnessed corruption ip the
primaries of this eountv. Oh! I tell
you we n. ed never expect any change*
for good as long as such methods Or
principles are allowed by law. When
; will such things he thrown aside and
! m the name of liberty loving people
[ throw into the ballot boxes honest
votes that will purify and wipe out
all laws in oppsition to good govern
ment, These men say thev want
better times, better laws, better offiers
and yet get, mad if you do not vote
such principles that are iu direct
opposition to good government.
Men who are against meralitv an
nounce themselves for office and snv
that if a Christian man runs for office
and has degraded himself. They say
religion and politics do not run to
gether; but if these corrupt men would
get themselves out of these channels
af unfair means and become observers
aad doers of law, you certa it would
- —i j ------- -j -------
see great changes for good. I appeal
to all Christian men to stand out
against such. In the name of ou,-
Creator, I appeal to a'l men who love
morality, to get out and be ye sepa
rate from them. In the name of him
who lov. s law and justice belter than
self aggrandizement to stand up in
this great campaign of IS9O and r pu
diate these men. Hut it is said he
who does not support the nominee of
the party moral or immoral is not a
democrat. Stop and let me tell you
he who votes for men of like charac--
ler immoral is an enemy to the spirit
of true Democracy. When men get
sc wrapped up in these things, they
aro blind and cannot see afar off. I
am a Democrat after the principles of
Jefferson and Jackson. I believe in
supporting livingj principles and not
corrupt ones! J believe in voting for
men who have justice and equity
Tilings need toning up along this line
I was bom in Elbert county my
father having moved to Banks county
in 1870. 1 am a Banks county raised
boy, ami love all good classes of peo
ple and lament others different to these
| But time has changed in these 27
j years since that time my good father
i and tender loving mother who were
! so careful to guard m v steps from boy
; hood to manhood having set good ex
[ ambles before me and served out their
| time by the will of God have passed
into the great etcrnilj and are dwell
ing In a house of many mansions
wearing white robes. Little did 1
think in my youthful days the awful
changer that have come. Little did 1
think men would grow so corrupt in
religion us to be members of some
church and carry themselves into of
fice by using whisky and other things
and amid all these tell men when they
refuse to vote with the party actuated
by principle more than policy be call
ed fanatics, sore heads, office seeker,
and such Itke. Four years ago a class
or party committed against the free
ami unlimited coinage of silverare
now clamoring for it 3 years ago
congress culled togethter to do things
they never promised the people in
the platform and campaign. Thus
you see times have changed and be.
come as corrnpt as tbe house of Mo
luch and lastly, time will change again
when these things will be wiped from
ofl the statue-books of our republic.

“I want to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
My health ran down, and I had the grip.
After that, my heart and nervous system
were badly affected, so that I could not do
my own work. Our physician gave me
some help, but did not cure. I decided
to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Soon I could
do all my own housework. I have taken

Hood's Pills with Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
and they hare done me much good. I
will not be without them. I have taken 13
bottlesof Hood’s Sarsaparilla,and through

I worked as hard as ever the past sum
