g School Girl come again we like to
read on the subject of education.
|. Now a word or two on that vital
tsubjecti EDUCATION if time and
lspace will allow. Education is d
strange thing among some people,
land strange however it may be, "a
tgTeater number of the boys and girls
ARE looking into facts and realizing
more the need of all education today
than ever before in this South land.
Why should we sleep away our time
in this the most blessed part of the
world today and die away in despair,
never having any pleasure in life at
all? Now dear readers don't mistake
me to say that an uneducated per-
son doesn't have any pleasure or
happiness in life,,. but how. much
greater would their pleasures be if
fthey had an education.
I'aSI think one of the greatest mis-
Il takes fathers aud mothers are max
Ting is keeping their boys and girls
out of school because they think
there are already ENOUGH school
teachers, lawyers and preachers. 1
have even heard men say that they
could not send their children to
| school because they were not able
from financial standpoint. Now [
iksay that there was never a girl or
h boy, who is they had the right de-
4 termination about them to get an
education, but what would not lack
3.ih financial matters, and if their
parents would + encourage them in
even the least, and could not help
them otherwise, it would be much
/ brighter for them. But instead of
the encouragement they should get
from their parents. what do you
suppose I have even heard? The
father, tsll the child to. lay down the
newspaper and go to bed at night.
Does that sound like encouragement?
| should say not.
Hoping to escape the waste basket l
willstop; and if this reaches my eyes
in print-I wilt come again. ~

NICHOLAS DISCUSSES SERIOUS ARTICLE.

Editor Greene County Herald
The article appearing in the July
issue of the Greene County Herald
writted by Serious l think is very
good Che has touched upon some
points that more people should study
about than do) and agree with him
in part.
l have attended several colleges
myself and taught a number OF
schools, but it did not make me feel
as though l were made of any finer
material than my paren is or neigh
bors. Our aim should always be to
observe the Golden Rule, but / have
seen some persons who had been to
college who seemed to think that
they were better than any one else.
God pity such one, for we are
taught that when we stand to take
heed lest we fall.
I had, the pleasure not many
weeks past of meeting a young lady
acquaintance of mine who had re-
turned from college, spoke and SIX
ed her how she was, but | was only
casting my pearl before hog, for
she did not say word, but looked as
if she, thought that was mud, so |
went on my way rejoicing with the
Thought in mind. 'Bear with the
of the weak. "
| agree with Serious where he
Esays teacher should possess some
religion. When teacher takes
charge of a school, he or she is placed
in responsible position and should
lset good examples before their pu-
pill, because the pupils are sure, to
Ifollow the examples of their teacher
whether they are saint or sinner,
unless their parents are religious and
will keep them instructed right.
Serious says that he has often
wonder if there is no religion
taught at ny Of the colleges aud il
so, whylt is that some of the boys
land girls around here don't get
Isone oft, or if they do, they don t
l'show 1.-THE also says what few be
has met do not seem to have the
Ikind of religion that suits him. Now
might be that some that have
been at college from around here
did get some religion at college or
had it before they attended, but
Serious tailed to see it, because
Eprobab.y his religion or the religion
that suited him was of different
kind I have seen some peopls that
seemed to think it was religion to let
their children attend moonshine
parties, smoke cigarettes, curse, and
do as they please.
think that we should take the Bible
las the man of our counsel. do what we
arecommanded tOsand leave undqne
what we are commanded not to do

This is the kind of religion that suits
me, and should everybody. do not
think that it is altogether the fault
of the teacher every time when a
child goes astray, but think that the
parents are responsible to some ex-
tent. l believe that if more of the
parents had backbones, that the
silly teachers would not have as
much influence as they do have.
Let is hear from other correspon.
dents.
