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 Teacher.

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. O. W. HANEY, Cashier. 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.
