tains the rights Of peace. Men of
history needed it to succeed, men
of to-day must have it town.
Georgia's history has been of am.
bilious men crowned with laurels.
We cannot see the past without
thinking of thefuture. The future
in the realm of education is bright
and full of hope, and it is natural
that you should be ambitious for
success. To become a teacher
there iS no way known except to
work. Inspiration makes the teach
er eloquent. 1t is kindred to the
spirit Of poetry and song, that
spirit which is of the heart and in
telleet of men as distinguished
from the dollar. The nature afall
ages, the tradition of noble people
and the external principles ofright
viii be present through life and in
spire you to a noble work. You
are in the midst of a great work.
Think if you please of the aim and
purposes of q teacher. There are
two things essential to the success
ofevery workman, namely knowl'
edge of the end to be attained, and
q plan by which that end can be
reached. A teacher should have
an accurate conception of the aim
a school. It consists in three
things, first the acquirment of
knowledge, second, the develop
ment of the mind, and third the
formation of character.
The development Of the mental
faculties must be measured largely
by the scholarly attachments ofthe
pupils in the branch and by the
instruction of the teacher in all re-
lated subjects. The studying pur'
sued and the instruction are sup
posed to be the best material for
for mind growth that can be furn-
ished. The mind of q little babe
is so constructed that it demands
activity. Always it is reaching
out, lazily sometimes, often active
II, and oftentimes with fierce ener-
gy, for instruction. No making
moment is free from thoughts that
troop through the mind languidly
march by with steady resolution,
or flash into view and out again
with fiery velocity; and in those
half conscious moments called
waking and going to sleep, our
mental images, confused, indirect
ed by the will, are alive, tangleing
themselves into strange confusions
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1908-12-10

makes a man strong. Reading and
listening may make full mind,
but thinking will make a strong
mind. When boy or girl leaves
school it matters not how many
facts they have stored away IL
their minds, how many texts they
have completed; but it does mat
ter how much mind they have, how
much mental power the possess.
Mind is imperishable. Facts anc
truths are weapons. 1t is better to
have single weapon and possess
ing herculean arm and a warrio''
skills to WELD it with force anC
success, than to stand in an armory
filed with the modern engines OF
destruction and have neither thu
power nor courage to sue them.
The mere possession Of knowledge
is not positive proof of intellectual
power and activity. The power to
discover the truth, to unfold ana
demonstrate the relation of facts
and knowledge are the evidences OF
high mental attachments. The
school boy today is familiar with
thousands of truths Of which Py-
thagoros and Aristotle were ignor-
ant, yet In brain power the boast
ed scientist and philosophers ofthe
twelfth century are more Lilliput-
ians in comparison.
BY getting the pupil to think,
by drawing out the better elements
and principles of his nature, by
setting the faculties all in operation,
the ending foundation is laid upon
which ee may erect the superstruc-
ture of a useful life, which the
superficial, the untutored and vici-
| GUS can never destroy.
The student must be searcher
after truth, a lover of truth. Add

Truth, with her shining attendants,

Falsehood sits upon her throne,

star education is a curse. We
would be better to live in ignorance
and die in ignorance than to fail
in making truth our boon compan

of Politics, and Tarquemada, the
Duke of Alva, the Mauzes and

illustrations of the deadly and de-

previous period, in the history of
the nations. Fellow teachers, we
are born in Q land Of opportunities.

consideration, that the educational
fold Is past, that the age is com.

writer and that the auctioneer has
replaced the advocate. It is not
true. Commerce and education
have lived ia all generations and
neither shall die. Both have grown
with time and the opportunity in
each is greater now. Every gath

ed, every convention must have
its educated leader, and every day
our country hears a thousand edu-
Gators.
The field is open to all worthy of
success.
But as the beauties of nature are

the minds and hearts of their pupils
those truths and life principles that
not only qualify them for the duties

more lasting than the eternal hills;
and more especially should those

who have charge of the boys and

our country than to lead an army

ambition to the true goal OF life,
than it is to lead victorious armies
beneath the blazing skies OF any
country. Our educational instu-
tions are bulwarks of american
liberty, they are batteries whose

by the demons of darknee. The
demands upon our educational in
situations were never greater than
they are today. We should as
teachers do all we can to raise our
own standard. We would like to
see the schools of Georgia equal TO
the schools of any other state.
