DAWSON'S PUBLIC SCHOOL
VISITED 81 T E NEWS AND FoUsD IN
FINE SHAPE.
EXCELLENT WORK BEING DONE ny THE
TEACHERS, AND EVERYTHING RUN
MING SMOOTHLY.

/ TEACHERS, AND EVERYTHING RUN
MING SMOOTHLY.
A NEWS reporter, on last Wednesday
morning, made most pleasant visit of
several hours duration to Dawson Pub
lie Schools.
Through the courtesy of Snperintend-
ent Simmons he visited the different
grades, while under work, and was more
than pleased at what he saw and heard.
Professors Harper and Hawkins are in
charge of grades seven, eight, nine and
ten, all of which the reporter visited
and listened to recitations from various
classes in chemistry, Latin and other
studies. The pupils appeared to be well
up with their text books, and answered
promptly and thoroughly every question
propounded to them.
The sixth grade, in charge of Miss Co
rlnne Marlborough, was next visited. and
gave evidence of thoroughness on the
part of the pupils that was alike credita
Die to teacher and scholars. Especially
were we pleased with the hand
writing Of the pupils of this grade,
showing beauty of penmanship that
one rarely ever sees in the schoolroor.
The next grade visited was the fifth.
in charge of Miss Loie Waters. The pu-
pills OF this grade were reciting in gram
mar when the reporter entered, and gave
evidence that they knew What they were
ABOUT IN the correct and ready answers
that were given
The fourth grade, in charge of Miss
Lou GlantOn, and the d ird grade in
charge of Miss Minnie Bloodwortb. bore
evidence of thorough work by both
teachers and pupils.
Miss Matte Alcott has charge of the
second grade, and does good work for
the benefit of those under her care. The
reporter could not but notice the pains !
taking on the part of the teacher.
The first grade is in charge of Miss
Jessie Lewellin, and is composed of chill !
dren whose ages range from six to seven
ana eight years. For pupils so young, it
was surprising to hear them read and
spell as well as they dill, and in a special
recitation that they gave those that
heard it We're forced to acknowledge
that tout of the mouth of babes thou |
hast perfected praise"
Without discipline it is impossible to
regulate anything properly, and the
school room forcibly calls for it. This
thought is the result of the visit TO the !
Public Schools, and no where else have
we ever seen better discipline displayed. !
The pupils move in and out of the school |
rooms at the tap of the drum, and they |
Keep step to the music as if they were |
trained soldiers. In all Of the rooms that |
we visited better order was never
before noticed in the many schools we
have heretofore visited and been CON
nected with.
This visit was made to the Public |
Schools in the interest of the people of |
Dawson, in order to see the practical
workings of system which is now doing
so much for our community. An eve
witness of much that is done in these
schools, we are forced to say that better
work is done nowhere else, and, as this
shining light is not hid under bushel
measure, anyone can witness for himself
the workings of system that grows bet
ter and better every day.

Then and Now.

In 1868 a certain farmer in Geor.
gia came to town with 500 pound
bale of cotton he and his wife had
raised. He sold it for 30 cents a
pound, getting $3.50 for the bale. He
paid his taxes, $40; bough. a cooking
stove for S32, suit OF for S15. a
dress tor his wife for So, a barrel of
Hour tor So, 100 pounds of meat for
SIS, and bad $50 in clean cash left.
In 1877, nine years later, the same
farmer carried a 500 pound bale to
same market and sold it for S42. "a.

CHEAP INDIGNATION.

Few intelligent people will be deceived
by the Indignation and the expression of
outrage which a number of sensational
newspapers i'm New York are making
about the recent execution of four p,en
convicted of murder. The sensational
newspapers which pandsr to Gepraved
taste lose an opportunity to ply their
trade when their representatives are not
permitted to see the execution of mur-
derer and present iDthe most sensational
manner all the details of the taking of
the life of the condemned. The law
makers in New York have discarded the
gallows and adopted electricity as the
agent for the execution of the death pen
atty. They have wisely ordained that the
executions hall be private, and that the
details shall not be given to the public.
There is not "A single good reason why 1T
not. The one reason that the details of
an execution. as given by newspapers
which seek sensationalism, have a de-
moraliZlng tendency is sufficient. The
warden of the prison where the execu-
tions took place faithfully performed his
duty by not permitting newspaper rep
resentative to witness the executions.
And now he is denounced, and all sorts
of reports have been printed about the
executions, designed to make the method
and the privacy of execution unpopular.
One paper declares that no more mur-
derers will be executed by electricity,
aud, on the whole, the sensational press
is having very disagreeable season and
annoying such readers AS do not care for
page devoted to description of an
execution. As to the method of execu-
ton, the testimony of the accredited
witnesses is that death was iDstantan-
eOus and painless. This is sufficient,
and it is all the people with healthy
minds desire to know about the matter.
