Oh. little town Of Bethlehem.
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet In thy dark streets shineth
The Everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight:
Phillips Brooks.
The story says that ii was calm and
still The only sound on that December
night came from the waving OF the
gnarled branches of the trees as they
bent reverently low In humble alteration
for had not the star shining in the dark
ened blue above told them glad tidings?
And what were those tidngs?" you may
ask Why wise men from the East
guided by that twinkling star to Bethle-
hem, had found in a stable little new
born babe, Yes and He was In wooden
manager, among the sheep, the COWS and
the horses, lying on bed OF hay, whlle
His fair young mother, Mary, gazed at
Him with adoring eyes Of love. The wise
men had fallen upon their knees before
this little child Jesus the promised Mes
siah. and worshipped Him. After pre-
senting gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh they had departed TO their own
land. Then the old narrative says:
But this was not all, for the shining
star had told them of lowly shepherds
watching their fiocks upon the hill slopes
how the glory of the Lord had shone
round about them, how beautiful white
winged angels had sung glorious anthems
OF praise and how one of the angelic host
had told the shepherds to hasten 10 the
city Of David. where they would find the
Saviour, which is Christ the Lordr'
These men Of sheep had left their
flocks TO the danger Of thief and wolf and
had FASTENED TO the cave in the hillside
where they found that II was even as the
angel had foretold. They too, had knelt
in humble worship OF their Lord. and
then had hurried away to noise abroad
that Almighty God had fulfilled the
prophecy of the prophets and had sent
His dearly loved Son, who was TO be an
Ensign and Everlasting Light TO his peo-
pie, SO does the beautiful story tell us.
No wonder that the night was calm and
still, for Il was q Holy Night. the night
Of the birth OF the little Christ child.
Nature, so the legend goes, the handiwork
OF the Creator, was hushed into awsd
silence. while men In reverent love lowly
knelt 70 worship the Prince OF Peace.
As the centuries passed on and love for
this great teacher deepened in purity and
strength, His followers, wishing 10 spread
abroad His word, wrote Of His birth and
life. and so by fragments the New Tesla
ment came into being. The monks. ex-
iles in converts and monasteries. with a
Ike motive wrote this wonderful stors'
and illustrated It in beautiful colors on
vellum. $50
The good and wise men wrote beautiful
poems and great books, the scuiptors

WHAT ENJOYMENT MAY MEAN

DIR. Garfield. late librarian Of Column

eman is worth TO himself Just what
~he Is able TO enjoy" Yet how often
do we hear practical men and women
boast that their taste is limited, that
good music is a torture to them, a
really fine play Greek to them, ana
good pictures bore. Then they exuit-
snt]y add, Give us vaudeville, comic
supplements. ragtime-these are good
enough for u.s. None Of your high

these things give pleasure, yet they are
not nearly enough for the fun develop

that 40 limited a sphere OF enjoyment

And, after ell. II we are not worth

100000 Spent For Education in
Georgia Far From Being Enough

This is rendered absolutely true on
account of the many Improvements
made each year that call for skill and
brain power in their handling. Things
are not done now as they were fifty
years ago and fifty years hence the
people of that day would regard us as
back numbers.
The man who is wise will see to it
that his child's mind is given the best
possible training and he will not
grumble over what it costs. He can
give to his child no better patrimony
than a trained mind, and give the
child that patrimony he should be
willing to scuffie.
Georfgians may think they are doing
great things to spend three million dol
lars per annum on educating the
children of the state That is con-
siderable sum of money and it does
much good. But it will take more
money than that to give Georgia the
educational system she needs.
The first thing Georgia should do
should be the passing of such laws as
may be necessary to pay the common
school teachers their salaries prompt-
ly and then to begin to think seriously
about putting up enough money TO
give the state the very best education
al system in the country
1t should be a question close to the
heart of the people to improve the
chances of the children of Georgia and
provide them with the best facilities
for equipping themselves against the
battles of the future.

(Athens Banner.)

The man who is foolish enough to
believe that the fight for the educa-
ton of the children of this state or
of the other states has been won is
simply shutting his eyes to manifest
facts.
1t is true that a great advance has
been made in recent years, education
ally speaking, but the autposts of the
army of ignorance have simply been
driven in The main fight is yet to
be waged
/ The average citizen, not only OF
Georgia but of other states as well,
still grudgingly counts the cost and
kicks about the slightest increase in
taxes. Personal luxuries are INDUCED
in and money is wasted in a thousand
ways, but little increase in taxes for
educational purposes invariably stirs
up hornets nest among many of
the sovereign voters who make the
laws. Luckily the recalcitrant voters
of this kind are in the minority in
many communities, and in those com
munities the progress of education
goes on.
The man who will not make financ-
ial sacrifice to provide education for
his children is holding them back in
the race of life. 1t is simple folly for
man to talk about the kind of edu-
cation he received. He ought to be
ashamed of himself if he is not willing
to toll and suffer in order that his
children may have a better chance
than he had. That is about the big
gest work a real man has in this
world anyhow to leave his children in
better fix than he was left in by his
father.
Men may seek to avoid the plain
truths as much as they please, but
the fact remains that the chance OIL
the uneducated boy or girl in
the future is going to be
a. mighty slim one. The bat
tie of the future not only for higf
preferment but also for bread is go
ling to be waged successfully only b.
those who have education. The mar
with an unframed mind will find him
self SO seriously handicapped that h
Twill hardly be a factor in the rae
lat all.
