Our Public School.
, Beginning with . . the , new year, the .,
r Jesup High School, by order of the
Board of Education will be graded, . ,
C 1 . 1 .r„„.,P.« ' n » MC .lt»t» l l*n» r .
tial change of books am . tie , pur
chase of some new ones, and as we
liuve heard some slight complain¬
ing at .the change, we desire to
give from our standpoint the bene¬
fits of the change.
In the first place there cannot
be run succesfully a high school
without the same being graded,
and a stated curriculum, because,
imagTne a school with 100 to 150
pupils and each scholar coming to
the school house with tne partic¬
ular kind of books that each par¬
ent desires their children to study.
What system would there be and
what opportunity would the teach
c’S_have for advancing the chil¬
dren? There could be no system,
no method and but little advunce
merit.
The Board of Education in de¬
ciding lo grade the school, thor
oughly considered the matter, and
in adopting the course of study,
udopted about the same curriculum
that they have at Barnesville in
Pike county, or in the lower classes
at the various colleges in the State.
Under the curriculum adopted for
the school here, when a child com¬
pletes the course, the boys are then
ready to enter the juqior class in
any of the male colegles in the
State, and the girls are prepared
to enter the junior class at Wes¬
leyan or the Normal school, or any
other female college in the Stute,
and the parents are enabled to
give their boys and girls a colleg¬
iate education, with only the ex¬
pense of two years away from
home. But if the parents should
be unable to send their boys and
girls to college, then you give them
a good education at home; because
one is pretty well educated when
sufficiently advanced to enter the
junior class of opr first class col¬
leges.
We hear some kick about the
expense of changing books. It is
true that it will incur some little
expense. We are informed by Pro
lessor Weaver that it will not nv
erago more than $3 to the pupil
this year. But with the school
properly graded and a good curri¬
culum adopted, the change will
never have to be made again. The
trouble lias been, heretofore, we
luve had no regular curriculum in
our school, and the result lias been
every new teacher would want new
books. But it is a matter now, not
with the teachers but with the
Board. Now the men wlio pay the
most tax are not kicking, but the
kick comes from those usually who
do not pay very much taxes. Let’s
see if our school is an expensive
one to the average man. Suppose
a man returns $2, 0U0 worth "I
property. He pays for school pur
poses 25 cents on tlte $100, xvhieh
would make $5. Suppose he sends
four children to school, he pays $1
per month mutneuiation r ee, w u- te 1 1
would make $9 for nine months,
and suppose books cost $3 each,
MndhieT**"chilLn”to school
system. Now suppose it was u
private school, The average tui¬
tion would be at least $1.50 per
month each, making $6 per month
lor the four, or nine months $54,
aud putting books at $3 each, $12,
^ould make $66. Or suppose the
pai-ent should desire to send one
of their four children off to eol
lege. lt would cost at least $10
per month for board, $90 for books,
failroad fare and other expenses
at least .$25, making a total of $115
for one child, or $460 for four for
nine months, Now you can give
! them the same education at borne
at a very nominal cost. And,
j fellow citizens, why not let us have
a school here in our town whereby
we can educate our children at a
J small cost, wheel Let us put all our shoul- in
der to the and work
j harmony and together for the up¬
building of our school, and the
day will not be fur distant when
we will have a school with from
200 to 300 pupils and one that will
1 give life and vigor to our town.

The charges against Judges
Reese and Sweat have become to
lie serious But we will venture I
the assertion, that if the judges
had been of the Populist pergua
s ; on, these charges would not have
been made public. Under this con¬
sideration, we believe Yancey Car
ter brought these charges before
the Senate by the advice of his
confr-res — the Popocratic faith |
doctors.
A treaty has been signed by the
representa'ives of the governments |
of the United States and Great
Britain and sent to the Senate for
confirmation, that has for its ob¬
ject the settling of all disputes be¬
tween the countries by arbitration.
For two years correspondence on
this question has passed between
the two countries, and the consum¬
mation of this treaty is the result.
This is un example for the whole
world. One more treaty is needed.
There should be an offensive and
defensive alliance between the two
great Anglo-Saxon speaking na¬
tions, which .would astonish the
world and the dreibund especially.
