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 Amereican school in’strcs -e ti days of tne great-great-granot:t• liei lias doubted that “ only the child that In some conditions the gain from the use of scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver"”Oil is rapid.

For this Scott’s Emulsion must be taken as nourishment, food rather than medicine, food prepared for tired and weak digestions.

Hut, right here, the most practical and sensible people 011 earth are called to the front door, by aloud ring of the bell, to b.a ! interviewed by a group of professors j ( >hiloßphic pedagogy whose systems j 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— School Journal. 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. Yours, J.

It fur nishes the desired strength by puri fying, vitalizing and enriching the Wood, and thus builds up the nerves, toijt-s the stomach and regulates the whole system. Read this: “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 Cured Hood's Pills with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and they hare done me much good. I will not be without them.
