And the worst ol it is that bo many people are using slang, entirely unconscious, of the fact tlmt they are doing so. lithe common usage of slang, were confined to a par¬ ticular order of girls, it would perhaps, servo ns an indicator of character, and pass unnoticed. It would at least, not touch the sensibilities of gentle folks. But it is not so confined. Slang is in¬ vading the very nicest of circles; it is be¬ ginning to influence the talk of onr most carefully reared girls. And this is why the habit should receive closer attention. Girls are forgetting that slang phrases and refinement are absolutely foreign to each other. A slang phrase may be more expressive than a term of polite usage, bnt it, is never impressive, except to impress unfavorably. It is high time that onr girls should realize that they should speak the English language in their conversation, and not'.the dialect of the race tract nor the lingo, of the base ball field. A girl may cause a smile by the apt ti.se of some slang phrase. But, inwardly, those who applaud her, place her at the same time, in their estimation. In the contrary, many a girl unconscious of the cause, has found herself gradually slipping out of people’s respect by the back that her talk was dotted with slang phrases. Camp Ground and Bethel Items. (BY POOR BRUNO.) Jenkins up. Miss Leeila Fulton, of Shellmatt, is visiting at the home of Dr. Cran¬ ford. Mr. Robert Saxon visited Arling¬ ton this week.

Our office was enlivened last Tues¬ day afternoon by a visit from sev- era! of Morgan’s prettiest young ladies. Come again, girls. The divil says he’ll try and not get so badly “rattled” next time.

Morgan, Ga„ Feb, 23, 1898. Dear Monitor.— Will you allow us a little space describe onr celebration of birth day last Tuesday? In the place wo put up a fine large picture of Washington, beautifully framed, and then we crossed a couple of flags over it with a back ground of evergreens. Beneath, in large pretty letters a as name and the inscription “Born, Feb. 1732—Died, Deo, 1799. Below this was a beautiful wreath enclosing one word ‘•Liberty.” Now wo built an altar covered with the national colors, led, white and blue, and upon and around this, each pupil was to lay an offeriug of evergreen. By 3 o’clockouraudience had assembled, aud as the stains of a beautiful march floated out from the organ, presided over by onr music teacher, Miss Daisy MoMurria, seventy- five enthusiastic boys and girls marched in under the stars and stripes. At the door we divided and marched in single files next to the walls met ottr partin'rs in front of rostrum, marched solid down the centre divided and met again at rostrum where two by two we laid offering of evergron on tho altar of pa¬ triotism then marched out and around the east colonade where wo entered a side door aud marched on the rostrum standing three columns deep, aud now ten little girls and boys filed in from same door aud took position in front of ns, aud on their bosoms were pinned very largo red letters which spelled Washington. Thu music now changed to the patriotic strains of “America” which we all sang with emthusiasm. After this some nice seckction were read by Missis Lilia Hawk Iris Ragan and Matt,is T. Collier. Prof w. H. Short then aroso and made some appro- printe and eloquent remarks, announcing at his close that Judge Beck who needed no introduction would give us a little talk. Now it goes without saying that Ibis was worth listening to for whether the Judge talks for money cr for accomodation he always has some¬ thing to say worth hearing, and this was no exception. His tribute to Mary the mother of Washington, and through her to the mothers of America was especially fine. After this wo closed by singing that stirring old national song, “The Red, ivliite and Blue.” The afternoon was most instructive and enjoyable to the school, ami we hope our audience cises. felt repaid Yours for with coming best out wishes, to our exer¬ Morgan School. Mars’ Hill School News. Mar s Hill. Feb. IG, 1898. Dear Monitor. I gladly accept your kind offer to publish communications from the pupils of the school of Calhoun, Our school opened November 1st 1897 with Miss Carrie Hyder as teacher, Over forty pupils are enrolled. Wo have one boarder student, Miss Emmie Roberts, from Early county. All tho pupils and tho patrons speaks well of our teacher. Our school lumso is near the I’rimitivo Baptist church. It is furnished with improved rnodoru desks, a wall map and two charts, one of which has just been received and is highly appreciated by I each cram] pupils. Wo have both u fire-place and a heater. Our pupils are all kindly disposed, as evidenced by tho fact that there has been no material trouble of any kind, either in school or on the playground. Wo have a fine set [of boys. Not one of them in school uses tobacco in any torin. All of our pupils are very in¬ dustrious. When the bell rings we Lave fo form in line and march in. After the differ- cut hi cli'- tis get water v e ure renrly study. We have both oral aud written recita¬ tions. We Iiko the combination of and written work yery much, and find it very improving. We take great pride in our class of beginners. They have only learned their letters incidentally, yet they read and spell very nicely, while some them write as well or better, than many of the larger pupils. They take much interest in their language and number work. I would.like to speak of our different studies but will only mention this time that we are learning to draw and color maps very nicely, and that we frequently write stories in our language work.) Would it not be interesting to priut some of the stories from the different schools? Competition might make all work harder. With best wishes for tho Monitor— and all the schools. Sincerely Mollky Clennky, Education. Education is an indispensable ac¬ complishment one cannot attain wit hout the knowledge of books. When one knows something about books they have some education. Education is the highest develop¬ ment in life. We should strive to get an education by improving each day, each hour and each moment. One cannot attend strictly to busi¬ ness without an education, they are I bashful in company and don’t have j muc " to sa - v ,r ‘ company with those *-Uat has a higher education than they. One cannot get an education by merely reading or reciting lessons or hearing others read and reeite them they have to study and study hard. Most every one that has a good education has a good name and a good name in man or woman is the Immediate jewel of their souls, and there is nothing Iiko a good name and good education, It’s original system as expounded by its founders j which set forth the custom of the past and points tho advantages and defects, the noteworthy arrangement which educational reformer have put forth against existing systems. The art of education works instruction and discipline and tho practical de¬ tails of the school-room and on the organization and supervision of schools. We should help and en¬ courage others to got an education, for one needs an education so as to go through tho world without any difficulty. Education stands en tho topmost stone. Neva Stewart, Dear Monitor:— It is very good in you to give tho chil¬ dren a hearing and I expect you tliiuk tho Morgan school is slow about writiug, but we uro taught to bo polite aud I thought as long as the Monitor was otir town papor I would wait and give others a chance. We all enjoyed colebrating Washington’s birth day. wo had visitors and we all tried to please onr teachers by doing our best. I am eight years old and I Imvesix studies—spelling, reading, arithmetic, geography, language lesson and writing. I have one pet and that is i my sweet little sister. Jewel. She runs to meet me every day when I come from school. I am afraid to writo any more for fear you will put it in the waste basket. Good-bye. lour little friend, Eddie Lee Daniell.
