What Is 1t That Ye Seek :?

II not education one of the most desirable
L things in life2 Is not a solid. practical.
useful education better than superficial,
ornate and comparatively useless onee Who
can galnsay this? Ask Charles Francis Adams
about 1t. If then you become satisfied that a
practical education is what is most to be
desired as mental requirement, the question
naturally arises, where can such an education
be best ootaineds Is there any school n Sa-
vannah that imparts it, Nor need You wait
long for an answer. = practical education
IS Afforded by an institution of thirteen years
standing in your midst, acbOse successful career
IS marked 6y the high degree Of ablic con fdeaee
q has already gained and the annual Increase ia
the Number Of its students. Need we say this
school is McCarthy's Business College?
We know that there are some who ignore this
school, and who seek an education at distant
schools-not because they can obtain a better
education elsewhere than here, but because it
IS promised 20 be Imputed to them IN three
months 6y schools at the North. We cannot per-
celve why any should prefer to pay several
hundred dollars at a distant school for mere
supefnclal course OF learning rather than pa

This is not judicOus. "0ne thing at q time,
and that well DONE" should be our motto.
Remember, also, Parents and Young
Men, that by patrOnizing distant institutions
in preference to home institutions you not
only deprive the latter of their legitimate
support, but carry your money away to circu-
late it in strange communities, to the great
and permanent detriment of your own city;
and. furthermore, as the Superintendent of
Public instruction said in his annual school
report of 1878, you cast undeSeT0ed re fectiOn
upon your own Southern schools by implying
that their curricula and teachers are inferior
TO those of the North. With regard to our
selves. we are willing to have you judge us by
our works. You will find cur fsrmer students
and graduates on all sides in this city in
