A PAPER
Read by Ii. e. WOOdside at
the Ratification Meet
ing March IL.

~ 10 NY O"huiu oP'"'o" '""'
Savannah is right now upon the
ragged edge of a fine school
system.
We may make use, however, of
a trite old proverb which runs
Rome was not built in day, and
We must possess our souls with
patience and be content if the
enterprise, which has been so we'll
begun, but meets with a steady
growth and gradually assumes
those proportions upon which the
hearts of the people of all Savan.
nah should be set.
For a successful school there
are three essentials, a building, a
corps of competent teachers, and
a united cooperating community.
The first we have. The most
convenient and thoroughly
equipped school building 1 was
ever in and l have seen great
many. That the business men Of
this town should have
erected such a structure to
the cause of education, de.
mands for them an unqualified
vote Of thanks, not only from Sa-
vannah but from all Hardin coun.
ty. They have done big thing
and one which | trust will, in a
little while. speak for itself even
more than 1t does now.
More important than the build.
ing however, are the teachers.
Brick and mortar never yet built
a school, and in the hands of the
men who conduct the school rest
it's success. If they do not do
their whole duty you have build.
ed in vain. An incompetent
pilot will wreck the finest ship
that ever sailed and an incom.
petent faculty will just as certain
ly cripple the success of the most
elegant school ever established.
While these things are true. and
while fine building and capable
teachers are necessary there is
still a third consideration. If the
citizens Of Savannah and the
patrons of the school do rot
band themselves together and de-
terminc to work for the success OF
the enterprise, our building may
stand forth a landmark and q
tribute to the energy of the men
who built it, and the teachers
may teach, 1--WE will never

they succeed, well, if not, it is all
the same. In business c0mpeti.
ton is the life of trade. The more
business houses the better for all
concerned. A school is plant
of more tender growth. 1t must
be encouraged aud propped by
the undivided interest of the com.
munity, else it fails to thrive and
at best produces but inferior
fruit.
There are communities, | be.
lieve, in which fathers and moth.
ers are the heads of the family,
and children do not what seems
good to themselves but what
older heads say. Savannah must
needs plead guilty to the charge
that the right of authority sits
enthroned in the minds of the
coming generation. If a study
is difficult a little begging at
home and q note to the teacher
removes the difficulty. A punish
ment is administered for rules
violated or lessons carelessly pre-
pared and the parent agrees with
the child that the teacher is a
hard hearted and cruel tyrant.
The weather is too cold or too
warm and the child must main
at home. Court comes on and the
larger boys must spend the week
at the court house assisting the
Judge and the lawyers in the pros.
ecution of the cases on the dock.
ct. Savannah has never known
what il is to close with full
school in June. The explanation
does not lie in the fact that the
pupils drop out to assist in the
crop. 1t lies in The fsct that they
want to quit as SOON as that lazy,
drowsy spring feeling comes. AS
a result they quit and careworn
principal sits before empty
benches and tries to figure out
how he is going to pay rent, in.
surance and teachers salary and,
at the same time, feed his wife
and children. You owe u duty to
your teachers. If they do not
suit you, turn them Oft and get
some that do. And when you get
them make up your mind that
they mustlivc. You are not living
up to this belief if you allow your
children to stop school as soon as
they are corrected or as soon as
they feel tired. You certainly are
not living up to the idea if you
pay all your other debts and let
your teacher carry II bill in Ills
pocket against you until it is worn
to frazzles and until he is asham'
ed TO meet you Oh the street.
You are far from seeing things in
this light if you send one child to
some other town and pay six OF
eight dollars n month tuition and
then growl when you are asked
to pay two or three to your owl
teacher. And again it is the
duty Of these teachers to give
your children instruction and tC
see that they behave themselves
when they are at school. This
they are doing to the best of my
knowledge and belief. Whose
duty do you think it Is to keeT
them off the streets at night
Whose duty TO keep them away
from the conversation and asso
citation of these representative
} citizens who have no visabl'
means of support, and who, lik'
f the fowls of the air, roost along
, the horse blocks and goods boxes
which line our sidewalks. yor

ENGLAND's SOUTH AFRICAN DILEM
MA.

New York World.
British public opinion is becoming
exasperated over the South African
situation. The recent fighting has
made it ridiculous for Kitchener to
pretend that the war is over. or that
only guerillas remain to be dealt with.
fhe 600 well disciplined men who at
tackled Fort italia the other day and
who rushed" the British garrison
with fixed bayonets and came near to
capturing the place. were not ''guer-
illas" or bandits This is war as
truly as was the fighting at Coleuso
or SPion kop.
Botha is perceived even in London
to be on the aggressive and Kitchener
on the defensive. At three different
places Botha has lately been the at
lacking party, and while the British
have held their own, the large losses
they admit show that they have been
hard pressed to do it.
The London press, including such
leading ministerial papers as The
Times, Standard, Chronicle and Spec
tator are now in full cry against the
war Office. Some of them blame it
for not sending more men to Kitch-
ener. Kipling. in a tart letter, de-
clares the army machine is back sin

Kitchener has accomplished moth
ing in year except by the process

patience.

ART AND NATURE IN ILLINOIS

At meeting of the executive coai-
mittee of the State Historical society
held in Springfield few days ago, q
committee was appointed to wait
upon the Illinois commission to the
Louisiana Purchase exposition, with
an offer to assist the commission in
furnishing and ornamenting the IlIi-
nois building to be constructed and
furnished out of the states appropri-
alton.
1t is believed that this building
should contain portraits of the great
men and women of Illinois, either in
a gallery by themselves or as decora-
tions for some of the rooms. It is
also thought that large photographs
or oil paintings should be obtained
of some of our beautiful landscapes
with historic associations. Immense
NUN bers of Illinoisans will visit this
building, and they will be astonished
aud delighted to see views of
such remarkable landscapes as Black
Hawk Watch Tower in Rock Is
land county; Starved Rock, in La
Sale county; Cave-in-Rock, in
Hardin county; Grand Tower and
the Natural Bridge in jackson county;
Old Fort Gage opposite vanished Kas-
kaskia in Randolph county, and vsri-
Gus other strikingly picturesque land
scaPes. A view OF the great Cahokia
Indian mound with relics of the
Mound builders should assuredly
have place, together with articles
illustrating the Indians and the early
pioneers, with FURNISHED room of the
period of our territorial times.
