THE PLACE OF .EDUCATION.
Tills machinery of wealth creating
industry demands educated intelli
gence. Of paramount importance to
tiie state is education—universal ed
ucation. Here is h scope for tlie
highest statesmanship. Education is
the basis of civilization aud tiie one
vital condition of prosperity.
William Evart Gladstone is the
greatest statesman tiie wbrld has
produced in this generation. Ho is
not only a statesman, but he is a
scholar, a writer, an artist and a
critic of matchless ability. He has
shown his appreciation of education
ny giving the commissioners of
schoois a position iu the premier’s
cabinet. Recently he said, “The de
partment that deals with education
is the most important iu domestic
administration.”
One of tlie motl important and
profound changes in the ends of
modern education is the incorpora
tion in the curriculum of manual S
training. It brings education into j
contact with every day pursuits and I
our most important interests.

sal rule. To them let us add the

tlie use of tools aud their application
he might have gone creditably

thinkers testify to the value of man
ual training in the development of

of Philadelphia the use of tools is
taught as part of the course and
young men are graduated who need
not tramp the city in search of a
job as a clerk, but are equipped aiul
ready for a useful place iu the great
field of life.
France and England have both
learned the lesson that to hold their
places ia the great marts of the
world it was necessary to give their
young men manual training—techni
cal education, industiiul instruction,
England discovered that her trade
was slipping away and tliat is the
means she took of retaining it.
France instructs both sexes and as
a result manufactures articles of taste
and ornament for the entire world.
America is far behind Europe in
this respect. Russia lias 1,200 tech

pits in similar institutions, Denmurk

technological school that deserves
the warmest encouragement and
support.
SKILLED LABOR.
f was at Newport News the other
day and visited there the ship yard
and the largest dry docks in the
world. At the close of the dav I
saw a vast army of laborers leaving
work and my friend who was acting
as my chaperone remarked that, many
of them received as much as $10 a day
lor their labor. “Are any Bout hern
men or ex-confederates among these
well paid workmen?” I inquired.
“No,” said my friend, “tney are
■northern men and foreigners who
have become highly skilled mechan
ics in the great schools in the north
and abroad. The;poor ex*confeder
ate was receiving Ids dollar a day,
the same us a negro.”
What a lesson! What a lesson!
NORMAL SCHOOLS.
Blit we must begin at tlie begin
ning and lhe teacher, must be pre
pared for his work. The training of
teachers is an urgent need. In the
normal the students learns to teach,
to communicate his knowledge in
the manner best adapted *to
mental development. A year’s tech*
nical training is of inestimable value
to ilie teacher and enables him to
accomplish more than would be pos
sible without It. It’s importance is
not to be underestimated. Teaching
those who are to teach involves a
history of education, of educational
methods and of tlie pract'cal appli*
cation of education. The true prin
ciples of leaching are founded on
the laws of tlie mind and child nature,
and are hence educational psychoL
ogy. The processes of growtli from
the concrete to tlie abstract, the spe
cific io the general, tlie known to
the unknown, the thought, to the
clear expression—these should uot be
dead rules but should enter thor
oughly into ttie teacher’s work, aud
be upplied habitually ami uncoil
sciously to every act of toaching.
Georgia has one normal school—at
Mihedgeville. I was recently there
and would advise every member of
this house to visit it as a solemn
duty.
If, Is a great and wonderful success.
It is the salvation of the children.
Oh! the criminal waste of years!
The years lost pouring over lessons
without method, without system, no
plan, no inspiration! Yon ought to
give this normal school every aid and
encouragement, and one of the first
tilings you should do is to provide
for co-education. Why not educate
the young men as well as the young
omen? There is no reason under

worst thing that I have heard of my
old mother state Georgia is that you
compel your teaohers to wait for
mouths for the poor pittance they
earn. This is an outrage that for
very shame should he corrected. Let
tlie teachers be paid well, but above
all let them be paid promptly.

days I have ridden over the site of
Shis beautiful city when the old

Louisiana to school at Atlieus, Ga.
Now I make the trip in six hours.
Everything lias changed aud scieuce
lias brought the ends of the earth
into neighborhood. But still educa
tion is tlie dominant factor of civili*
zation, and tlie forces of nature are
harnessed as servitors to man only
through the operation of tlie devel
oped intellect.
In conclusion the speaker made n
powerful and eloquent appeal to the
patriot.sm of his Hearers, and urged
them to spare nothing in tlie devel
opment ol the rising generation. He
payed a splendid tribute to Governor
Northen as the great school governor
of the south, and finally closed
amidst a burst of warm and hearty
applause.
TO BUILD TO COVINGTON.
The S/aboard Company Prov.des for
tiie Middle Georgia Road.
A meeting of the stockholders of
the Seaboard Company was held yes:
terday at lhe company's offices, No.
137 Bay street. The meeting was uot
largely attended, most of the stock
held by non-residents being repre*
sented hy proxy.
Mr. J. E. Soule, of Philadelphia,
was present, representing about $00,-
000 of stock held by the Spring Gur
den Insurance Company, of Philadel
phia, and other corporations and in*
dividual* of that city.
President WilliauiP made a state
ment of tlie operation of the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic road, wnich,he
said, had been very satisfactory. He
recommended tlie immediate comple
tion of the road to Covington and,
by resolution, the directors were au
thorized to proceed with the work.
There are only seven miles of track
to he laid to reach Covington. Near
ly the entire distance is already grad
ed. Mr. Williams expects to have
rtie work complected by Dec. 15, and
he expects to be running trains from
Milledgevilla to Covington before
Jan. 1.
Tlie Middle Georgia and Atlantic
will then be in operation for sixty
six miles of railroad, including the
Milledgeville and Eatonton road
which was recently leased. Tlie line
is through the best section of the
state, the country being well devel
oped. Large amounts of cotton us
well as other products are raistd in
that section. The road will then tap
the three large and prosperous towns,
Covington, Eatonton, Milledgeville,
besides Shadydale and Macnen.which
are also good sjzed towns.
The principal object f u- which the
meeting was called was to provide
for the syndicate loan nf $160,000,
which matures Deo. 20. The direc*
tors were authorized to make such
arrangements as they thought best
to meet tlie loan. Thev will proha*
bly arrange to continue the loan.
Another imp irtant question which
was considered was tne position of
the company In the matter of the
proposed contract with the city to
obtain a portion of the Hutchinson
island for a terminal site.
Tiie terms which tlie city appears
disposed to offer are known to be
unsatisfactory to the company. Toe
matter was left to the board of <li*
rectors.
President Williams declined to ex*
press an opinion last night as to
what position he thought tlie direc
tor. would adopt, upon tiie question,
ile said the matter would probably
be brought up at the next session of
council
Tlie ordinance introduced some
time ago. giving the Seaboard Com
pany the eastern half* of the island
upon certain conditions, is still un
acted upon, and its consideration
will probably be asked by council at
its . xt meeting —Savannah Morn
