THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION.
A Plea Fer A Central Location.

To use the expression of one of our
most cultured and wisest writer's
of the. last century, "a little
learning is a dangerous thing" This
does not mean that we must not
have any learning at all, but rather
that we must try to have enough to
pass the danger line of thinking we
have some. when we have none,
The subject of a High School at
Weems is one which seems to be agita-
ting the minds of the people of this
community at present. We hope that
if we should succeed in getting it that
it will be centrally located, 50 that it
may be reasonably easy of access to all
classes and conditions of children, who
will have to depend on it for an educa-
tion. Every one should take an interest
in this matter, whether they have chill
dren Or not, for we are in a measure
our brothers keeper. Social ostra-
cism is one of the crying evils of to-
day. and lack of an education is one of
the greatest causes of it. Give a child
an education and he can rise above his
surroundings and can afford to ignore
the incident of birth. As says the poet
in these lines:
Many among the thieves have fallen sore.
Whose lives the world is ready to deplore
And yet. il may not always be their fault
That sin disgraced them ere they did halt
AS ! said before, we are ''our broth
ers keeper. . and it is the Christian duty
of those who have the matter in charge
to see to it that this school, if we have
it at all. is placed where all will be
benefited alike irrespective of anything
except to do the most good. The Incl
dent of birth is nothing compared to
the accident OF. having no education.
Children are not responsible for being
born where circumstances have placed
them. Environment has so much to do
with shaping child's character. Sur
rounded by adverse conditions, is it
any wonder they do not grow up into
better men and women? We should all
recognize the universal brotherhood of
man. and as Zimmerman so gracefully
says in his beautiful lines: Promote
human brotherhood and love one anoth-
err Make the golden rule your food.
Treat mankind as brothers. Always
have the true regard for fellowman,s
mother. Let US think not only Of our
own children but of our friends, neigh
bors and fellowman's children, as well
as our own, and let US bend our energies
all together in the direction which tend
to give rich and poor, high and low, all
alike the very best education. we posi-
bly, can, and the future generations
will rise up and call us blessed"
