To the Editor of The Argus. In your issue of January 25th I find this editorial remark : “The ed itor of The Argus a few days since asked a country lad why he had quit school. ‘I was wasting time’ he said ‘I could teach the teacher in our settlement.’ And what is true of Whitfield is true of the entire state.” Now, Mr. Editor,! hope I may have misunderstood your meaning, but, as it reads, it sounds like a direct fling at the teachers of this county and state, and, as I belong to that unap preciated profession myself, I shall undertake to say a word in defense of the teacuers of Whitfield county. And as editors are made merely to be “cussed” and abused, and have for feited their right to get out of humor, I shall speak plainly on this subject. Please do not understand this as an attempt at a personal vindication, as of course the remark had no personal bearing. We presume that the editor of The Argus, being a stranger to the coun ty, has not a very extended acquaint ance with the teachers of the county. Therefore, we object to the “smart Aleck” boys who have quit school, being made the custodians of the rep utations of scores of earnest, hard working men and women. Here we have an editorial opinion, from a man who stands high in his profession, and expressed in a papei which is becoming well known, when the only authority for the opinion is a country lad |who had quit school. Teachers meet with this sort of boys everywhere they go, and will not be at all surprised at the boy’s remark : but, we are surprised that the editor of ,The Argus should base his esti mate of Whitfield county teachers on such authority. We, as a class, are willing to leave our reputation in the hands of such men as Commissioner Berry, Gen. B. M. Thomas and Prof. J. W. Harris, of Cedartown, an expert normal con ductor, who stated last year in the presence of some of the most promi nent citizens of Dalton, that the teachers of Whitfield county were far ahead of the average in intelligence and teaching ability. Os course there are some incompe tent persons in this profession, as in every other, but they are dropping out, as they necessarily must. We think that under the manage ment of our state school eonimission ers, and more especially under the local management of our able county commissioner, teachers who cannot teach the average country boy, or town boy either, are getting very scarce. Our school board will not license incompetent teachers. Mr. Editor, please reconsider your remarks and try to get acquainted with us. We are your best friends. Brother Shaver is doing a noble work booming North Georgia and Whitfield county, but really this seems to us like a boom from the wrong end of the gun. We hope Mr. Editor that your re mark was made in haate, like that of the Psalmist, when he said : “All men are liars,” and that it will prove to be much farther from the truth than was his. In the meantime, may the Good Lord deliver us from the boy who can teach the teacher. Jesse L. Palmer. The Argus office is the place to go, if you want neat, cheap job printing. A CTIARMER. Her smile is full grace And loveliness; Nor Charms alone of face Does she possess. For such an ankle men May seldom view— She stoops to conquer when She ties her shoe.—Anonymous. A <>on|X‘l Truth Those who advertise in The Argus will be those who do the business in Dalton. The Argus is whooping things up for Dalton and its business, enter prises and industries, and the people are learning to look in The Argus for what they want to know. When they want to buy anything they will look in Ihe Argus to see where to go. If vou are wise, you will advertise in The "Argus, and let the people know what vou have to sell. “THE TOWN COW. ‘•An Ordinary Woman” ‘lias a few Word* to Nay. To the Editor of The Argus. Dear Sir: It seems that a few chronic grumblers are forever wail ing and gnashing their teeth about “the town cow.’* One says, “pen her, because she eats up the shrubbery on Thornton Avenue.” Anothnr says, “pen her because she walked toward me with her head down (on a nice, beautiful, warm day when the ground was cov ered with snow), and she makes us look so countrytied anyway.” It is not personal interest that prompts us in replying, but the ex tremely ridiculous excuses set forth for condemning the cow. To the dear friend on the avenue,! would say, build you a fence around your shrub-’ bery, then keep the gate shut, and the friendly old cows will bother you no more. Try it my friend ; “it will work like a charm.” And God bless the lady that got frightened at the cow. She was only mistaken in the ways of cows ; perhaps, she was raised in a city. When cows hold their heads down they are hunting greens. They raise their heads when they want to fight. The lady was in no danger. I agree that we don’t look very city like, but the cow is not the only bar rier. the lack of the S,(MX) inhabitants the lady made mention of. is a greater trouble. I suppose it would be more pleasant for real timid people to walk in a city with no cows. But just think for a moment how much more able those few timid walkers are to hire a boy to mind off the cows, than the wage-earn ing, practical people are to do without them. A great many families in Dalton could scarcely live at all, but for the help of “Old Moll.” Many would be the children that would cry with hun ger,if the cows were taken from them. If I felt it my duty, I would feel in competent to advise the city authori ties as to this matter, but feel sure that if left to the voters of the city we will not object to the result, for we feel sure that a people as well balanced as most of Dalton’s, in view of the fact that the cow costs her owner compar atively nothing for five or six months in the year, and knowing as they do,’ that one cow penned up, is a greater nuisance than three or fonr running at large in this or any other town, and knowing that the majority of people in Dalton have no suitable place to keep their cows during the entire year, would never pass an ordinance that would compel the people to sell their cows to the butcher at a sacrifice of from twenty to thirty dollars, for bread, Just An Ordinary Woman.
