WITH THE TEACHERS
Matters Pertaining to the
Schools of Gwinnett.
HAVE TOO MANY SCHOOLS
This is the Cause Assigned For the
Small Pay Received by the Teach
ers of Our County.
I
BY J. a. BAGWELL.
The chairman of the board of j
education, Dr. A M. M inn, re-j
queets me to announce that the
next meeting will be held on the
I§t day of December.
Teachers, who were absent any
day or days, from the Institute,
wiil please send in their excuses
before the next meeting of the
board of education, as I will bring j
this matter up at that time.
It is the intention of the board 1
of education to pay the teachers
monthly, at end ;f January, Feb
ruary, March, July, and October,
the last mouth of the scrtool year,!
therefore I will accept no orders |
from any teachers. The school j
money will be paid to the teachers, j
Ever ~ teacher in Gwinnett coun- j
tv ought to take the News-Herald, j
It is the official organ of the board
of education, and it is essential
that all the teachers should keep
themselves posted as to school
notices and other particulars per
taining to school work.
One of the first questions which |
any intelligent prospective settler j
asks regarding the neighborhood j
in which he thinks of makiDg bisj
home: ‘ What are the school ad-1
vantages ?”
In schools where teacher* have
not already been elected, the trus
tees should be very careful about
whom they elect. “As is the
teacher so is the school.” A good
school house, parents who are will
ing and anxious to educate their
children, are not the only essen-j
tials of & good school. It is im-j
possible to have a good school j
without a good teacher. It is.
better for children to stay at home
than for their future to be ruined j
fey poor teachers.
A prime cause, not generally j
considered, of the tendency of the
people of the country to seek the
cities and towns is the fact that
the school facilities in the country
are meagre and neglected. Who
is it, in this progressive day, that
'iß willing for his children to grow
up in ignorance because of poor
teachers and poorer school houses?
There are school houses in Gwin
nett county in which our children
are kept, during the cold winter
months, that are not as comfort
able as many of the horse and cow
stalls to be found all over the
county. How much louger will
our people allow such conditions
to exist ? Twenty-five or thirty
children in an unceiled school
room, with only one fire, on a
cold winter day, is a reflection
upon any community. Because
a child can be kept comfortable
in an uncoiled home is no reason
for a similar school house. The
children at school cannot be kept
around the fire as at home. Let
every community in this county
in which there isn’t a good school
house attend to this very import
ant matter at once.
The public Bchool fund will pay
for this school year 4.25 ceDts,
8.4 cents, and 2.55 cents per day
per pupil respectively for the first,
second, and third grades.
The teachers are complaiuing
because of the small salaries that
„hey are to receive for the Dext
school year. Their complaint is
a just one. Nearly evpry county
in Georgia can afford to pay larger
salaries than Gwinnett. Why ?
Because Gwinnett county has
more schools than any county in
the state. In Walton, Morgan,
Hancock, Dooly rnd all the other
counties where the schools have
been properly located, there are
less teachers, therefore the teach
ers are better paid. The board of
education of this county has be
gun the work of properly locating
the schools. Three schools have
been dislocated this year. It is
their object to continue this work
till all our schools are well locs,
ted. Then every community will
have good school houses and good
teachers.
ROBBED THE GRAVE.
A startling incident, of wihch
Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by him
as follews: “I was in a most
dreadful condition. My skin was
almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. For
tunate, a friend advised trying
‘Electric Bitters;’ and to my great
joy and surprise, the first bottle
made a decided improvement I
continued their use for three weeks
and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life, and robbed the
grave of another victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Only 50
cts. guaranteed, at A. M. Winn
& Sou’s Drug Store.
It is much nicer to live with a
swearing man than a crying wo
man,
CHAMBERLAIN’S PAIN BALM
CURES OTHERS,WHY NOT
YOU?
My wife has been using Chamber
lain’s Pain Balm, with good
results, for a lame shoulder that
has pained her continually nine
years. We have tried all kinds
of medicines and doctors without
receiving any benefit from any of
them. One day we saw an ad
vertisement of this medicine and
thought of trying it, which we did
with the best of satisfaction.
She has used only one bottle and
her shoulder is almost well. —

So many diseases have their
origin in a common cold that a
knowledge of the best means for
the prevention and cure of colds
is most important. It is generally
supposed that a cold is caused by
undue exposure and that it must
of necessity have a “run” of
several days before any relief can
be expected. But it should be
remembered that when a cold is
due to exposure the patient can
easily tell when and where it
occurred, and it happens, perhaps
in a majority of cases, that the
sufferer froip this disorder is
unable to recall any unusual ex
posure. In such cases it often
seems as though every movement
brings an addition to the cold.
It is well known that strong and
healthy persons can resist con
tract with damp, cool winds aDd
inclement weather better than
one who is weaK and debilitated
In other words, a person in good
physical health is less liable to
take cold than one who is ‘‘all run
down,” and those who are in this
condition will find themselves
‘‘constantly taking cold” even
when they exercise the greatest
care to avoid the slightest exposure.
This is because they are weak,
their blood is poor aud the bodily
functions are inactive.
In the treatment of a cold the
liver aud bowels should be kept in
health .• action by the use of a good
cathartic like Hood’s Pills. Then
the blood should be enriched and
vitalized, the stomach and diges
tive organs stimulated and he
whole system toned and strength
ened. For this purpose there is
no better medicine than Hood’s
Sarsaparilla which may be taken
with the utmost confidence that it
will make pure, rich blood, and
build up the system. Hood’s Sar
saparilla has a record of cures
unknown to any other medicine,
and its sales are the largest in the
world. Therefore, be sure to get
Hood’s.
The best safeguard against a
cold is pure, rich, healthy blood
and strong aud vigorous body.
If you find yourself “constantly
taking cold” try Hood’s Pills and
a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
the one true bottle of Hood’s puri
fier. This great medicine will
enrich your blood, give you an
appetite and makes you feel strong
and full of vitality and vigor; and
when you are iu such a con-
dition aud exercise proper care
you need have little fear of taking
cold.
