School News.
Most of the schools are closed
out for the present year. If there
^ as not been as much accompliRh
e< ^ for the year as we think should
have been who are we going to
blame for it? There are too many
people who do not understand the
purpose of the public schools. They
think very little about the princi
pies our school system is to accom
P^sh itseuds and justify its costs.
The impression of the people who
do not think very hard about it is
that the schools are to teach pu¬
pils to read and write, and use
numbers, master language and
science, whether they are in school
regularly or not. If all this was
accomplished the schools are weak
indeed and not worth what they
cost unless they accomplish a great
deal more. They' should build up
self respecting character and de¬
velop sound views of life, to train
up good citizens and make the
state and republic safe; it is not
only to give every child an equal
chance with every other, but to
impel every one to make the most
of his chance. That is the ideal
purpose of the schools. To come
nearer attaining it, the school
must come nearer being ideal.
Intelligent people are very apt
to judge of a school by the looks
of the school house. Where ever we
find an attractive school house
with good furniture inside, we are
apt to find school interest in that
community to be just about what
it should be. On the other hand if
we find in place of a school house
a rickety rotten poll pen or box
hut we find school interests to be
in proportion in every respect.
There may be cases in which this
is not so. Clothes do not make the
man, it is true, butiu normal bus¬
iness conditions clothes indicate
the quality of the man. So a rick¬
ety and poorly furnished school
house is almost as certain proof
of a weak school, as a four days
oldjbeard, a dirty shirt and baggy
trousers are commonly indicative
of a cheap kind of business man.
People who know the value of a
good school will provide a good
house if they can and in turn a
good house will help the school to
grow better all the time. Ideal
houses alone do not make ideal
schools. We need ideal teachers as
well, but ideal teachers are few.
There are plenty of people trying
to teach, or in other words they
are at work at it for the pay, and
do little but go over the routine
of textbook lessons year after year,
and who have no higher concept¬
ion of the teacher’s work. They
are fast shriveling up, and will
soon blow away. But we are glad
to know that some of our boys and
girls are striving to be better
teachers. The plans and arrange
"lent "f the work for another } ear
claim most of our attention
the remainder of this year.
Board of Education will aid
in the buildiug of several good
houses which will be a great
to their county.
As some of our citizens are anx
to know what the county
of Education did in regard
to establishing a model school I
say the matter was presetted
them in their meeting last Tues¬
and most of them expressed
themselves as believing that it
would be bett er for them to invest
money in the building of
houses for the present, hut
defered the matter until their
next meeting which will be in Jan¬
uary, 1902.
We think every county in Geor¬
gia ought to establish a school of
domestic arts and science, copied
after the George Foster Peabody
School of Domestic Arts and
Science, which is now a part of our
State Normal School. In accord
ance with the resolution offered by
the teachers in ourlast Teachers’
Institute, asking for a monthly
County institute the teachers are
all requested to meet in Jesup on
Saturday before the 2nd Sunday
in November for the purpose of
discussing matters pertaining to
their interest. We hope to have
good attendance that the work
may be a success. — J. H. Conner,
