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, County Supt. M- ft. Johnson i -REAL ESTATE BROKER,— JESUP, GEORGIA.
