A trip to many sections of the
county will convince any one that
there is not a more hospitable people in
in Georgia than are to be found
Lincoln county. This same people do,
are genteel, charitable, well-to
and accommodating. No one can
fail to feel at home with them.
An inspection of the school houses
will be a convincing proof to all
reasonable minds that these same
people do not appreciate the facil¬
ities for educating their children as
they should. There are few school
rooms (not more than three), which
are ceiled. These houses are com¬
fortable neither in winter or summer.
Schools cannot be successful taught
in such houses. Who are to build
these, houses? Who are to make
them better? W hen are they to be.
remodeled? Who will begin? will If ask the
people are to do this, who
them to begin?
The county board of education has
some part in this. What do they
think of the idea?
Time for reformation in school
matters in Lincoln county has come.

To give you some idea of the great
depth of interest fell in the Seminary
and in each individual student by
the teachers, I shall relate a little
incident that occurred during the
recent examinations: One of the
unchangeable laws of the inst : tution
is that unpardonable cheating in examinations is
an offence, which, if
proved, will expel the guilty person
forever, with Kentucky no possibi.itv of return¬
ing. A brother, feeling
somewhat doubtful of passing the
examination successfully, took some
manuscrips into the room with his
blank paper. The fact was soon
discovered, the siudent was imme¬
diately ushered out, the faculty
called together, and an investigation
begun. The student diu not attempt
a denial, but readily confessed; where¬
upon the faculty, some of them
aged men, burst into tears and wept
like (children. The poor brother
packed his trunk next day and bade
us farewell! Such instances as this
are stldoin known here.
