EDUCATION HOPE Of THE SOUTH.
.s.3.I.a.
Broadness Of View and Liberallty Of
Thought Must Be It's Aim.
On education the hope Of the
South must rest. Education is the
only means Of elevating and broad
ening the individual type. Great
attention must be paid to this in
order that the best results may be
worked out with the unusually
favorable materials and resources
at hand, says Mr.. H. M. Atkinson
of Atlanta in the Manufacturers
Record. The constant elevating
of the individual through the pro-
cess Of education is the only means
by which the best can be accom-
plished. The aim of this education
must be to create broadness of
view and liberaIity of thought.
The Shuth must broaden its base
along these lines. Men are need
ed who will see the public good,
and who will stand for it and their
convictions. The broad view of
such questions can only be
brought about by education. The
broadening of the individual and
the teaching Of the princi Piles OF
political economy and municipal
government are the needs of the
day. This means slso the broad
ening and strengthening of char
acter-that is, the production of
men, the word being used in its
best sense.
