GEORGIA EDUCATORS
DISCUSS M'MlCHAEL BILL.
Convention Took Up History and the
Grades of EducatiOn.


Grades of Education.
Warm Springs, Cha, June pat the
Georgia Educational Convention last
night an interesting discussion took
place concerning the McMichael bill
for local taxation. The bill provides
for an amendment to the constitution
to be voted on at the next election.
If the amendment is carried it will
enable each county to decide for itself
the matter of local taxation for schools.
Speeches were made by Prof. M. L.
Britain of Atlanta, State School Com.
missioner w. B. Merritt and Senator
i. H. McNIichael
Prof. E. H. Johnson of Emory Col
lege read a paper on the Study of
History" which attracted much COM
ment. The student of history, he said,
lives in a larger world than the uned-
ucated man. His life is not bounded
by a short three-score years and ten,
for in a sense he lives through the
centuries. In this way the study of
history enlarges and enfiches life. His
torical study gives a valuable disci
pline in memory, imagination and
truthfulneSs. Better than any other
subject history trains the political
Judgment. Its study tends to make one
fair, sane, broad-minded, tolerant.
practical in his views of men and
wants, and these are the very qualities
that need to be cultivated in the citi-
zens of a republic. On the one hand,
the lesson of historical continuity
should save us from the mistakes Of
the visionary the radical and the doc
trinaire, while a knowledge of actual
progress attained and of the laws and
customs of other communities should
save US from the stagna ton of the ul-
ira conservative.
Southern people should give them
selves more to historical study, said
Prof. Johnson, because so far they
local or national history, because it
is a good antidote to sectionalism, be-
cause it is needed by the present gen.
GRAFTON, in order that they may under
stand the ante+bellum questions, and
because of its needed influence on poll
tics. The South should be best fitted
to give leadership to the Democratic
party to-day, said Prof Johnson.
Prof w. H. Fitzpatrick of Mercer
University spoke on the "Inter-rela-
ton of Higher and Lower Education"
He defined education as an adaptation
of person to environment, asserting
that this idea of adaptation to life in
the broad sense is to furnish the aim
of education and the content of cur
riculum.
There are three periods of education,
primary, secondary and higher. The
first two aim to bring the individual
UP to the level of the best already at
tanned by the race; the third aims to
carry the best to continually higher
point.
The convention came to an end to-
night. The election of officers result
ed as follows: President, G. F. Oil
plant of Barnesville first vice presi-
dent, NJ NJ. Parks of Milledgeville;
second vice president, Miss Ella
Mitchell of Sandersville; treasurer, M.
L. Britain of Fulton. The time and
place Of the next meeting will be Sc
lected by the Executive Committee.

Those applying for service on the
