A SPLENDID GRADED SYSTEM
Of Public Instruction Enjoyed By the Citi-
zens BrunSwick's Has Attained an
Enviable Position Among the
Leading Municipalities
of the State.

The public school is the most democratic
of American institutions 1t is the univer-
sity of the common people, in which the
boys and girls destined to become
voters and mothers of the republic
receive their training for the grave duties
and responsibilities of citizenship. 1t is.
therefore. natural and reasonable that pub
lie education should be a matter of deep
concern to those already we'll advanced in
the path of life.
During the early history of the sta.c the
pioneer settlers took care to establish
schools. which were really the root or
foundation of the present system of schools
These schools have been sustained and
strengthened and improved until there is
no state in the south that possesses more
efficient means for the education of all the
children.
Nothing is more Indicative of the intel
lgence and advanced civilization of a COM
munity than its interest In popular e11ucH=
ton and the facilities for communicating
enjoys an enviable position among the lend
ing municipalities of the state.
