Educational Advantages.
The welfare of any city or community
IS indissOlubly linked with its COM
mo snl .tst
vantages. The time has been when
educational matters did not possess the
Importance IN the South which IL now
attaches TO them. The lethargy which
enthralled the public mind on this sub
I Ject has gwen away 70 q full realization
OF It's importance. Public-spirited enter
prise has removed old barriers IN the
road OF progress, and q new era dawns
upon the south, rcdOlcnt with the
brightest anticipatOns. The old re-
/ g'me has been buried in the same grave
with political distinctions with some
exception now and them. Progress in
| fuses zeal and enterprise, where apathy
and lethargy for generations had placed
| is paralyzlng brand. 1t must not be
/ expected that the years of education III
the past can be entirely eradicatcd in a
few years. Ii takes work and time TO
accomplish It's completion.
The spirit of Intolerance through the
| South has vanished, or is fast vanish
| ing with the dawn Of q more progress
| sivc era, and we confidently look for
ward To the time when all barriers IN
| the road of material and educational
| prosperity shall have beer removed.
To the parents who are about TO seek
new homes, either in the North or
South, the question of first considera-
ton l.. what are the educational adj
vantages of gived place. Ii these are
| inferior. It is generally the case that
some other location is sought, even
though ltmay be decided disadvantage
IN some other respects. This Is as 1t
should be, for there Is no question Of
more vital Importance to the parents
than the one of the mental as well q
physical training Of their children. 1t
Is this point which, I'M the vast majority
of cases, decides their destiny. This Is
an age OF education, and every com
mun.y should accept the situation, in
order 70 induce seekers for future
/ homes 20 become inspired towards the
place looked tO as their home. This
age demands educated minds in all the
I departments of labor. The person who
enters the arena Of active lie uncdu-
/ Gated, IS placed at a very great disad-
/ vantage, whatever his vocation may be
