THE NEWNAN HERALD, NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1921.
BO YOU VISIT SCHOOL?
If you will take the time some lifter-
- noon mill visit. ono of our pUhllfl schools
tho pleasure the- visit will give you will
bn mtiplo remuneration for tlio time
and labor it costs.
Tlioro is something, to nn nituH, in n
school-room full of pupils, all of tliom
• engaged in the study of tlielr lossoim.
that onuses old members of fresher and
more youtlifiil days to throng a mind,
perhaps too busily engaged with other
■■■cure* to appreciate and understand the
growth of mind And development of rea
son that exist In the little men and wo
men all about us, and it innkos ono fool
it If “ recess ” had eoine, and the strug
gle for existence is entered upon with
--renewed vigor. Tlio bright faces oeca*
sionuily cloud with a frown ns some
problom uproars n stubborn front. Then
the laughing eye and glance of the vie-
-tor nro evidences of n soveror struggle
that is to bo faced by tlio mature mind
• of the same student, They are the trail
jrient reflections of our own dally strug
glcs. It is only when one grows Imggnrd
with the cures of life, when passion and
: avarice mid envy have'seared the soul
- and destroyed its freshness that n
- glimpse of past- peace and onso is vouch
safed ub In looking nt mid guarding the
- development of our littlo ones, that they
mny, more easily thou we, ovoreomo the
Jlaborious tasks that Have boworl us.
And how much do wo owe' the tancliorf
Not money can measure the accomplished
•good. Thanks nro poor payment for
overtaxed patience. We must have a
deep nnd heartfelt appreciation ’ of n
never-ending labor that does more for
- you iuuI yours than yon yourself can do
—that is the only way tho parent cun
repay tlio tenehor. '
The teacher does something besides
setting the tasks nml hearing recitations.
Hhe trains tho moral up well ns tlio moil-
tnl faculties. Bhe curbs impatience nml
stimulates the laggard. She directs tho
mentally dull and loads tlio struggling
.-senses into paths Mint enable wonk rea
son to grow strong und reliant upon wliilt
* it feeds. She stimulates all the higher
: faculties nod represses tho baser.
When you honr fifty youthful voices
singing, “Tlio Bod, White and Bluo,”
T . their faces alive witli enthusiasm, their
littlo bodies all a-thrill witli patriotism,
your eyes will suddenly bo affected witli
- a. strange smarting, your vision will
- cloud, your heart quiver witli an niiswor-
, ing thrill, and you will feel that it is to
■ the teacher in our public schools that we
: are Indebted for n great, a glorious mid
: a patriotlo people. You will lcavo tlio
-• school refreshed and ginddonod In tho
■ thought that In the care of such ns they
the future of our children Is sociiro and
- safe.
GET IT BY WINNING.
Exchange- .
'Father, 1 want a new baseball
mitt.”
He got it
Later we talked with the father, and
In the course of the conversation remark
ed that his hoy seemed to have just
about everything he happened to wiint-
“Yes, 1 give him anything he wants,
if it is within my power to get it for
him," replied tho boy’s fnther-
“But aren’t you afraid of overin
dulging lilmf” wo naked.
“No, sir,” emphatically- “I believe
it is tlio thing to do-”
Ho paused until tlio reinnrk had time
to sink in and nssimilnto, then he con
tinued :
1 ‘ I bellovo a child should bo given
everything ho wants, if within reason-
Lot him get the habit of getting whnt
ho wnnts in his budding years, anil when
lie readies seniority that linbit will
ubldo witli him und put him on easy
street. ’ ’
This was a new angle, and there was
no further argument-
But, on sober nml second thought, we
nre inclined to believe that this theory
is wrong-
Tho habit of getting wiint one wants
is nn ndmirablu ono, indeed—if ono
wins it-
Blit’ whon one Ims hod every desire
gratified without effort, he mny get the
idea that they will come in the same
manner in the ond of tlio gnmc—but
they won’t.
When wo got into tlio honost-to-good-
noBa battle of life, when the other fel
low wnntls tile sumo thing we want,
when lio fools lie just must have it,
there will bo a struggle—and the host
man wins-
If wo wnnt that boy to got whnt ho
wants, It is well, but let him earn it-
Then ho will appreciate it after it is
won.
Tlio author of “David Hamm’’ wnnt :
ed his manuscript publiBhod; but tlio
first publisher to wiiOm ho submitted
It did not accept it; nor tile second, nor
tlio twentieth- But ho fought on and
struggled and HtroineiV—and won.
Tlioro is nn old saying to tlio effect
that ‘ ‘ wlintcver we get that is wortli
while, wo miiBt pay just wiint it is
worth- ’ ’
So, get tho linbit of paying-
Evorythlng eomes to him who waits-
if ho works hard enougli while ho is
waiting-

COTTON IN SOUTH AMERICA.
San Franelscd Ohroniclo.
Tlioro is u world-wldo sonrcli for areas
- .vlspted to raising cotton, and tlioro is
no reason to doubt tlmt. such areas exist

Argentina and adjoining portions of
Praguny mid Bolivia seem most prom
ising, although hitherto most exploration
Tina been dlroeted, to Africa. Nor is
•there, nay reason to doubt tlmt tlio quali

•■ Stntos lmvo no monopoly of cotton land.
Blit cleurly, South America Hs most
. promising. And it is quito time that tho
lieoplr of tho United Stntos should got

s.-ept in respoct to cnttlo, anil coffoo.

J least until tlioy lmvo exhausted tho vir-

Nor will tlio growth of tho cotton iu-
- liiistiy elsewhere bo miy advantage to
tlio people of our cotton States. Tho
tinio has come when those States must
devote themselves to diversified ngrloul-
lure and cease depleting their soils by
continuous one-crop farming. Our South
ern States will always raise cotton. It
Is not improbable that in duo time their
production of that staple will greatly In
crease, but on n much smaller aroii, re-
' stored to its prlmnl fertility by Intelli
gent diversified farming.
But our wisest men are turning their
attention to 8outh America. It is the
best watered of tho continents and its
- streams nre inexhaustible sources of
■ power. It lias nn iibnndmu-o of rich
•arcus. Its mineral resources lmvo al
ready been touched, (it; is sparsely pop
ulated), mid it is near to us. in our
own interest, in the interest of the two
-continents, we should stop putting on
airs and cultivate tlio closest nml most
friendly relations with the South Amort-
- -mn nations.

WHAT IS WRONG?
Cincinnati Enquire?.
Tlioro seems to be general agreement
tlmt many tilings are radically wrong,
ovon in this once domoerntie, liberty-
loving land of Amorlcu. A symposium
of opinion, tho expressions of quite a
number of more or loss prominent peo
ple, informs u listless public tlmt moral
ity is nt very 'low ebb in the United
States,
It is nn ill wind tlmt blows nobody
good, but. tlio moral reformers seem to
lmvo nil tho host of tlio luck. There nro
no imompinyod in that lino of business.
Tlio prenjdent of tlio Smidodrlm which
unanimously affirms that our morality
fopldly is surging out over tho bar of
lioniml righteousness insists, that immod
est drqss Ih to blame for nil our sliding
Sutmiward. Anothor brotvsor in tho
vineyard of reform is confident that layk
of religious training is to hlnmo, A num
ber of other sorious-miiided folks are
confirmed in tlio bollof tlmt our moral
letdown is duo' to war reactions. But
one bold disciple—how lie obtained a
passport to tlio mooting is not disclosed
—rose in his placo nnd declared that tho

as Htrong as that roeontly made out by
Miles Bouton in the Jnmmry number of
tlio Atlantia Monthly, and, nnturnlly,
that broke up tlio mooting.
Each of tlioso tilings bus contributed
to tho ebbing nutionnl. morality, but nil
of thorn combined have not contributed
so muoh to this unfortunate condition ns
tlio over widening propaganda that inef
ficiency and mediocrity are entitled to
equal reward with efficiency nnd excep
tional morit, Boilod down, this js the
poisonous doctrine of all alleged reform
ers. Tlioro nre no corner lots in tlio
heaven of commercialized evnugollBin,
unless, maybe, for the boss ovungelists.
But, porhnps, aftor all wo nre not so

A TRIBUTE OF LOVE.
The sad intelligence of tho dentil of
tho children's nnd young peoplo’s friend
nml companion, Mrs- Effio Doster, was
received by tho writer, w(io wishes to
express her appreciation of our dear de
parted friend’s sweet Christian ehnrnc-, .
ter nnd tho noble influence that she lmd-f
exerted so grandly and unselfishly upon
other young pooplit Alns! ’tis nil too
true that the hand tlmt once swayed
the pen of that eloquent nnd gifted
helper of mankind has been stilled and
made motionless by tlio inevitable hand
of death- Hoiv sad to think that the earth-
ly tenement tlmt- once contained this
sweet nnd gentle spirit 1ms gone down
into the channel of tho grave, nnd glided
over tho mystic. river- But cniuiot this
precious thought comfort us, tlmt if God
enn cause a seed to lie dormant in tho
heart of tlio enrth through tlio cold,
blcnk storms of winter, .and then when
tho warm hrenth of spring conies cause
it to burst, fortli into new life, freshness
and boauty, that Ho can transplant the
glorified spirits of our departed friends
and relatives to tlmt celestial clime
where tlio chilli- blasts of winter nre
never felt nor storm and tempest beat
upon -its blissful shorof
By tlio death of Mrs. Effio Doster the
county 1ms lost one of its most gifted
nnd lovable women- She has set n last
ing and worthy example to -the youth
of our land, which is indeed wortliy of
emulation; and, boys and girls, let us
wlio have been within reach of this
grand woman’s noble influence strive to
tho utmost to follow in her footsetps;
and, like her, when we lay down the
weary burden of life nnd take up tlio
ransomed crown, leave behind us sucli
“footprints upon the snmls of Time
as she did- A Friend-
Good Reason.
As a general thing, the reason a
woman doesn't encourage her husband
to sing to the baby is because she Is
part of the audience.—Dallas News.
