Prof. J. A. Bagwell Elected County
School Commissioner.
This was the result of the first
ballot by the County Board of Ed
ucation Saturday.
After one of the most enthusias
tic contests ever known for this
position it passed off very quietly
in the end.
Possibly there were more than a
dozen entries during the entire
campaign, but only two were faith
ful to the finish—Prof. Bagwell
and Commissioner Tanner.
After the proper examinations
the above gentlemen were declared
elegible for election by chairman
Winn.
The first show down came in a
snap, showing five for Bagwell,
making him the unanimous choice
of our Couuty Board.
Mr. Bagweli is by no means a
new man to the yeomanry of-
Gwinnett county. He was born
in Cains district near Auburn,
where he was brought up to the
age of sixteen under the influence
of such school facilities as were
common in the rural district* at
that time.
At this age he became inspired
by the opportunities of a higher
education, aud by honest strides
as a young teacher, togother with
hie autograph to promissory notes
—June 1892, dawued upon him as
a second honor graduate of Mercer
University.
During his college career he
shared more than an equal part of
honors, winning anniversarians
place in 1892 and champion de
bater in 91.
Immediately, after graduating
the elderly acquaintances of his
childhood were the first to do him
honor, beiug the first president of
Perry-Raiuey College, Auburn, Ga.
During his connection with the
school at Auburn the iucrease in
attendance is sufficient evidence
of success—growing from 75 to 312
in enrollment.
In 1897 he resigned this position
to accept (he principalship of the
city school of Lawrenceville, where
he conducted a most successful
school till his resignation last year
when he became associated with
the News-Herald.
To speak of his competency is
only to obssrve his service as an
instructor for the past 15 years,
and while there are doubtless
many teachers and others in the
county who now regret tho loss of
the present incumbent, who has
so successfully filled the office for
he past eight or teu years, and
whose uniform courtesy has won
for him a favored spot in the
hearts of educationalists of the
coui.ty, yet, in prof. Bagwell we
recognise capabilities adequate to
a most scrupulous performance of
the duties of this important office,
and such skill as will meet the re
quirements of an upward and on
ward administration. We predict
that ere long he too, by his con
servative policy and affable man
ners, will be closely enshrined in
the affections of those with whom
his duties call him to associate.
Let us all with one accord rally
to the support of our new staud
ard-bearer.—Norcross News.

Kind Worii For the Iditor.
Ci.arkston, Gm, Feb. 21,
Editor Nbws-Hkrai.d: —Allow me
space to congratulate the new
School Cotmnieiioner of Gwinnett
County. Knowing Prof. Bagwell
aa I do, I muet eay the Board of
Education could not have made a
better choice.
I was a student of Prof. Bag
well’* for ieveral months wheu he
was President of Perry-Rainey Col
lege, and always found him an en
erjetic, kind and faithful teacher,
teaching his pupil* the **any
things which go to make up a fin
ished lady or gentleman, and that
success was to be had only by con
stant and earnest application.
In his new office, he is the right
man in the right place. This will
be the common expression of the
people and teachers of the county
when they meet him in his new
work. *
I was a teacher in Gwinnett
county for about four years, and I
know an encouraging talk to stu
dents, by teacher or Commission
er, is of vast importance. T be
lieve most teachers do not lecture
onodgh to their students. Childron
should havo constant advice con
cerning their duties to their school
mates, teacher and everyone whom
they may meet. Many boys do
nit lift their hat even when intro
duced to a lady, to say nothing of
the extensive carelessness in this
particular.
Teachers should not only teach
bocks, but they should teach man
ners, honesty, truthfulness, punc
tuality, energy, industry, patience,
kindness and cleaulines*. “Clean
liness is next toGodliness ” Chris
tianity is based upon these things,
and the teacher who teaches them
by example as well as by precept
will fill the mission of a teacher,
and should be appreciated by any
people or community,
