There is cause for congratulaton upon the result
of recent appeals to the people which have over
thrown corrupt gangs pursuing public HE for private
plumber. Deplorabe, humiliatng as have been the
exposures made both in politics and business OF late,
the downfall OF so many captains OF corruption has
given us renewed faith in democracy.

laws are loosely constructed. But such critics lose

Mr.. Editor:-We we're very

difficulty in your town between
DR. Mellow and Mr. Hasel
Wnherspoon and hope that Mr..
Wnherspoon will soon recover
from his wounds.
The gubernatorial campaign
in this state began in real earnest
the other day when Clark Howell
and Hoke Smith met in debate
in the city of Columbus. Sup
porters of each candidate seemed
to claim that their respective
candidate had things his way.
Many more debates are to take
place between these two candi-
dates before the primary cleo
ton next Summer. There are
now three other candidates in
the field, besides these two, max.
ing fire in all, but the real con.
test appears to be between
Howell! and Smith. We believe
that Smith will be elected easily,
although he is not the kind of a
man we admire for governor and

bors about, or to show them when
they come to his home to pay him
a friendly visit. After asking
after their health and the news,
the next thing should be "Come
on and let me show you my colt"
or better "colts." The farmer
misses a great deal in his life who
cannot be telling how much he
has refused for his fine colt.
We think it a valuable thing to
say you own a colt or even have
lost a colt. We are like a negro,
who was living with us over in
Clark county. He paid $3.50 for
a dying horse. When we endeav-
ored to chide him about his fool
ish trade, he blandly replied,
why Boss, 1t is worth $3.50 Just
to say l have lost a horse"
1t is worth a great deal to lose
a colt. 1t shows, at least, that
you had enough to own a
good thing. But to be more dig
nifed and serious we want our
farmers to begin to plan to raise
them some good colts. And we
want to say this-the raising of
horses, like everything else, is

We want Percheron mares to

The State Normal College of Troy has more graduates in the field of teaching in Alabama probably than any other similar institution within the bounds of the State
 For twenty years this institution has been preparing young men and young women of Alabama for this work. The Troy State Normal College was con- ceived for the express purpose of turn ing out teachers, The wise men of the State realized that without men and women competent to teach, the boys and girls of Alabama. the com monwealth must fail With this thought in mind. the Legislature gave appropriations for the State normal schools. How we'll the irstitution at Troy has met the expectations of ths men, who appropriated money for this purpose can be seen by looking over the records of the Alabama Education- al Department
 For fifth of century, each year, young men and young women have passed from the doors of the hand some structure, the home of the State Normal College at Troy, and have en- tered the active field of teaching. ful- ly equipped and prepared and for twenty years, Troy State Normafs in- fuence has been felt in every county and probably in every municipality within the borders of the State.

Europe there were establisher schools for the training of teachers, but for great many years 1t was thought that any man of education could be teacher, that there was no need of special knowledge of the child's mind and its laws of growth. that it was only neces- sary to dish out information by lec- lures or through books which should be eagerly grasped by the learner and the result left to nature. Subject mat ter alone was thought necessary, diff ferences in children. and their capac- ity to learn were not recognized, pleas ure in school work was barely toler- ated much less sought for, in fact no thought was taken of the child It re- mained fors the twentieth century to discover the child as the center of the school, as the one for whom the school exists. as the future citizen of the State whose usefulness depends upon his training in the school room. as an eternity may be determined by hfs teacher, and the normal school was the chief factor In this discovery.

be secured by them only by such an appeal to prejudice or ignorance. They ascribe to themselves motives for the protection and care of the 'barefooted boys and girls of the red hills of Ala bama," but all the people are not fools. and they have perceived almost inva- rfably that this is an appeal to preju- dice and is not promoted by love of the barefooted boys and girls, but by sell f1sh desire for election to office. They realize that the truest friend to the boys and girls of this state is the man who endeavors to supply the schools with a competent teaching force, and they have usually shown their estimate of this character of statesmen by con- sistently allowing them to remain in the undistuFbed pursuit of the occupation of private life. The education of the youth of the State is too weighty a subject to be approached with preju- dice or by men of this size.
 The School Equipment.
 You can have a school without a house, without apparatus. without school appliances. but that without which there can be no school is the teacher. As the teacher is, so Is the school some say that the teacher is the school I cannot go quite so far, but I do say that the value of any school to the State depends upon the character or the teacher. The enthusiasm or every community in educational af. fairs depends almost entirely upon the teacher, If he is acceptable to the people they are eager to send to school, and they are enthusiastic and sympa- thetic in their support of his every movement for the benefit of their chil. dren: but if. on the other hand he does not possess the qualifications which inspires their confidence and supporl he is merely tolerated and the cause of education suffers a backset in thelr midst.
 There is such a thing as quality of teaching as well as quantity. and tho quality Is the much more important People are realizing this fact, and are calling for more quality and less quan- tity. We need teachers who look for the spiritual side of the child's life. and who endeavor to feed his soul with noble thoughts and to love the good, the true and the beautiful; who will teach him the enthronement of conscience as guide to his conduct; who will teach him the nobility of service. the sublimity of duty; who will teach him 10 regulate his life by hon esty, truthfullness. and virtue, and that these are of inhnitly more value and importance than the most thorough

 who could teach others how to teach. Not only Is 1t the aim of the Troy Normal to turn out teachers. but to turn out men and women and although the pedagogical feature is specializ- ed, education in it's broader sense is not neglected.
 The institution is ideally situated in the beautiful and progressive lit- tie capital of Pike county, on the Junction of the Atlantic Coast Line and Central of Georgia Railroads. The altitude is high, the water is, abun- dant and pure. and the social advant- ages In Troy are not to be excelled Three courses of study are open. that leading to the degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy, that to Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Philosopfy
