DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
EDITED BY
HENRY MILAM, Superintendent of Schools.
The editor of this department wish
es all its readers a happy new year.
As we look back over the year just
closed we see many things to make
our hearts glad and sad by turns. Now
let us profit by past experiences and
determine to do all in our power to
shun the mistakes of the past and to
enlarge and improve the good.
The year 1914 is full of its respon
sibilities and opportunities. Never in
my experience, has the sentiment for
better schools been as strong as it is
today; never have the people been as
interested as now; never has the De
cember enrollment been as large or
the per cent of attendance as great.
The spirit of the teaching force is
fine; the teachers are striving honest
ly and conscientiously to do their work
in the best way possible.
Truly from one standpoint the sit
uation looks bright, people generally
aroused, teachers doing splendid work,
boys and girls enthused and all the
educational forces working in har
mony; surely much ought to be and
will be accomplished. But the other
side of the picture looks dark and
gloomy. With only a five months
school term and that cut in two in
many instances, with school houses ii 1 -
arranged for school purposes, with
very meager equipment in most of our
schools, poor play grounds, the hous
es, grounds and out buildings in very
unsanitary condition, with many of
our teachers working fcr $15.00 per
month and their board and on top of
all this a loss of $600.00 in appropria
tion from the state this year creates
a situation that demands our most
thoughtful attention. What will the
people of Bartow county do with this
situation in the good year 1914?
The schools have been closed for
ten days but are back at work now.
However, this vacation time has de
prived us of any school news of in
terest for this week so we are giving
you a few clippings the sentiment of
which we commend to your careful
consideration.
THE NEW YEAR.
We are standing on the threshold, we
are at the open door,
We are treading on a border-land we
have never trod before;
Another year is opening, and another
year is gone,
We have passed the darkness of the
night, we are in the early morn;
We have left the fields behind us o’er
which we scattered seed;
We pass into the future which none
of us can read.
The com among the weeds, the stones,
the surface mold
May yield a partial harvest; we hope
a hundred-fold.
Then hasten to fresh labor, to thresh
and reap and sow,
Then bid the New Year welcome, and
let the old year go!—
Then gather all your vigor, press for
ward in the fight,
And let this be your motto: —“For God
and the Right!”
“The Voice With a Smile.”
Recently I have noticed in various
places the motto: “The Voice With a
Smile Wins.” We need such voices in
our classrooms. In a big city school
the other day I heard a voice that
easily penetrated two intervening par
titions. It was sharper than any two
edged sword. It had gall and worm
wood in P. it cut, it stung, it hurt. But
the voice with a smile! Gentle, sympa
thetic, helpful, healing—such is the
real teaching voice. It is the Happy
New Year voice all the year ’round.
Personality of a Teacher.
The following beautiful description
of the power and of the value of en
thusiasm on the part of the teacher
is from “How to Secure Attention,”
by Sidgwick, the great Sunday school
teacher of London, England: “Wheth
er it be school lesson or subject of
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE, JANUARY 1, 1914.
common talk ot of school, the enthu
siast drags the hoy’s mind captive. He
makes him attend, he makes him in
terested, he makes him think. With
out trying to do so, he makes learn
ing seem attractive and delightful.
Boys are naturally impressionable,
and enthusiasm impresses; they are
naturally imitative, and whatever they
see a man keen about, they at once
begin to excite themselves about it.
Whether it be poetry, history, politics,
art, science, natural history ox arch
aeology, the enthusiast will at once
make a school of his own imitators
about him. And he will do far more
than this. He will lift boy after boy
out of the barbarous intellectual at
mosphere in which the natural boy
lives and moves, and make him con
scious—though it be only dimly con
scious- of the vast world of interest
whicL ’ e j around in every direction,
waiting until he gird up his mental
loins and come and explore. This is
the real result of a master’s enthu
siasm—it cultivates. Under plodding,
hum-drum teachers who will not put
soul in their work, a boy may pass
through a school from bottom to top,
doing all the work so as to pass mus
ter, and be a savage at the end. But
let the enthusiast catch him, though
but for a term, and the savage is con
verted.”
The essence of a good school is in
the teacher, it is not in the course of
study, nor in the fine school-house,
nor in the large library; it is in the
teacher, in his method, in his personal
adaptation to the work of instruction,
in his enthusiasm, in his ideals, in his
personal worth. A school is the center
of power only when it is in charge of
a competent teacher. The school at
tracts and educates only when it is
in charge of an educated, courageous
teacher. A teacher can do his duty to
his pupils only when he feels that he
was chosen, not on account of his pol
itics, his religion, or his relationship
to the school board, but on account of
his qualifications. —J. W. Patrick in
Elmira School Bulletin.
Advice to Teachers Who Are Bent on
Getting There.
You are bent on being a good teach
er, you say; if not you are going to
quit. Good! Then consider the cost.
You must spend money liberally for
educational journals and professional
books.
You must spend time in hard, sys
tematic work on them at the expense
of sleep and rest.
You must know the best things that
have been said about your business,
and you must struggle to improve
them.
You must satisfy your best con
science and best judgment every day
of the year, even at the expense of
popularity and position. Remember
when you get too big for a little com
munity, you’ll be just big enough for a
bigger community.
You must dare to do many things
different from the old way your pat
rons swear by. Somebody asked
Beecher how he would make coffee.
“I would first find out how it was
commonly made," he said, and then
make it differently.”
Don’t die at the top. If you have got
a head, use it all the time. Don’t ape.
Invent, originate, experiment, adapt—
and have the nerve to do it.
Cultivate the sympathetic side of
your nature. Learn how to get close
to people, to get a grip on folks, to
move them, to use them, to benefit
them against their will and wish.
You’ll get kicked a good deal but
you cannot kick this kind of a teacher
down stairs.
Every time you kick him he iands
above you somewhere. Canadian j

BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN
SOUTH GREATLY IMPROVED
Washington, D. C. December 11. —
1
President Harrison, of the Southern
Railway Company, speaking today of
the business outlook in the south
said:
‘‘Conditions throughout the terri
tory traversed By Southern Railway
lines are generally favorable. The
farmers of the southeast, except in re
stricted localities where they have
suffered from drought, have had a
highly prosperous year. The ginning
reports of the United Census Bureau
indicate that the cotton crop of the
states east of the Mississippi river
will exceed that of last year, and the
current prices are above those of a
year ago. While the estimate of the
total corn crop of the United States
Department of Agriculture, shows a
falling off, compared with last yeai,
of 661,729,000 bushels, the crop in the
nine southeastern states traversed by
the Southern Railway is, within twen
ty-one million bushels as large as last
year, the only southeastern states
showing decreased yields on account
of the drought being Kentucky and
Tennessee. Other crops, including for
age, have turned out well and, taking
the territory as a whole, I doubt
whether the farmers of the southeast,
have ever had a more favorable year.
“Largely growing out of the pros
perous condition of the farmers
wholesale and retail trade through
out the southeast is generally in good
condition.
“Manufacturers in most lines are
enjoying a good demand for their pro
ducts, and their establishments are
running on full time, though some
slackening of production is to be ex
pected during the holiday season. The
reports of cotton mill and knitting
mill development are particularly
noteworthy.”
JOY RIDES COME HIGH
SOME TIMES IN ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga„ Dec. 30.—W. F. Wil
liams, a tailor, who went joy riding
with two pretty married women, lost
his purse containing SSO, and had the
women arrested.
The trio were taken to police head
quarters where the women nearly
died of hysteria and fright. They said
they hadn’t taken the pocket book,
and that they were sorry they had
taken the ride, and that if their hus
bands found it out they would cer
tainly kill the tailor.
Cases were docketed just the same.
STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.
The regular annual meeting of the
stockholders of the First National
Bank, of Cartersville, Georgia, will
be held on the second Tuesday in
January, the thirteenth, 1914, in the
director’s room of the bank, at three
o’clock, P. M„ for the purpose of elect
ing a board of directors for the en
suing year, and for the transaction of
such other business as may be pre
sented.

BIG CONVENTION TO BE
HELD IN ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 30. —For a few
days this spring Georgia is going to
be the railroad center of the United
States, so far as the passenger de
partment is concerned. All the avail
able rolling stock of every railroad
between the Atlantic and Pacific Coast
will be rolling toward Atlanta. And
here is the reason why: It is going to
require every extra passenger car,
every extra engine, every extra Pull
man that the roads can possibly put
into commission, to bring the national
gathering of the Shriners here in May.
There will be enough of ’em to found
another city. The number of Shriners
who come to Atlanta will be larger
than the total population of any Geor
gia city except Atlanta. It will be
something new for convention crowds
in the south.
i
Forrest Adair, potentate of the local
Shriners Temple and leader of the
movement which brought this big con
vention to Atlanta has received formal
notice of the tariff just issued by the
Southeastern Passenger association,
giving special rates to the Imperial
Council, over all lines south of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of
the Mississippi.
Mr. Adair has been informed that
the Central Passenger Association and
the Transcontinen a! lines will issue
special tariff o.ders within the next
few days.
The rates will be lower than winter
round trip tourist rates, and tickets to
Atlanta will be on sale from every
point in the United States and Canada.
LEO FRANK REMEMBERED
BY HIS FRIENDS.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 30. —Although the
general public seemed to forget Leo
M. Frank during the holidays, his
friends didn’t. One of the marvelous
things about the whole Frank case
has been the unswerving, almost blind
loyalty of the friends who have re
fused even in the face of the court’s
verdict, to believe him guilty.
Regarding him rather in the light
of a martyr than a criminal, they
piled his cell high on Christmas with
gifts and delicacies.
The season, which is supposed to
be the saddest because of past mem
ories, to those within prison walls, was
not a particularly unhappy one for
Leo Frank. Every day friends came to
see him and spent hours in the cell or
at the cell door. According to some of
them, Frank is very confident that
the supreme court will reverse Judge
Roan’s refusal to grant anew trial.
Frank consulted and worked with
the lawyers In preparing the brief, and
showed remarkable knowledge of the
law. He is said to believe that the most
hopeful grounds on which anew trial
can be looked for lie in the state
ment by Judge L. S. Roan, presiding
judge, that after all was said and done
he himself was not convinced of the
prisoner’s guilt. Judge Roan also said
that as the jury had to pass on the
points about which he had doubt he
couid not grant anew trial.
WOULD REPEAL THE
BANKRUPTCY ACT.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 30. —The repeal of
the present national bankruptcy act
will be strongly advocated by Hon.
Grover C. Edmonds of Brooks county,
in the event he finally decides to run
for congress in the Eleventh district.
Mr. Edmondson is already strongly
committed to the principal, and if he
announces, as politicians here say he
is practically certain of doing, the re
peal of that act will be a prominent
plank in his platform.
Mr. Edmondson views the bank
ruptcy act from the standpoint of the
business men and merchants of the
country. He feels that the law should
be changed so as to afford better pro
tection to those who extend credit. Un
der the bankruptcy law as it now
stands, a man can take ou* a bank
ruptcy petition every six years. Mr.
Edmondson contends that this law,
perhaps necessary when it was enact
ed, now gives too much latitude.
Mr. Edmondson is new the repre
sentative of Brooks county in the gen
eral assembly, and is known as “The
baby of the legislature” because he is
its youngest member.
