Higher Education Gets
Hard Wallop atHands
Of School Supervisor
Miss Celeste Parrish Would Abol-
ish Latin and Bubstitute
Agriculture.

JACKSON, GA, March 10-Higher
education received a hard wallop at
the hands of Miss Celeste Parrish, of
Athens, who as one of the supervisors of
education is conducting teachers in
stitute here last week.
Miss Parrish said that she would
abolish Latin in all the schools, and in
its place teach agriculture. She con-
tended that girls should be taught agri
culture in the country schools and that
the matter of making a living was the
most important thing to impress upon
the child. The schools of the country
are not doing their duty, she said, If
they are not preparing the boys and
girls to make living.
Miss Parrish asked superintendent w,
p. Martin, of the local public schools,
what he was doing to teach the pupils
how to make a living. In his reply he
said he was trying to teach them the
rudiments of an education and that
later they would learn how to make
living.
All schools that teach literary courses
were condemned by Miss Parrish. The
University of Georgia, at Athens, was
criticised rather harshly. All the big
have served their purpose,
unless they change their plans and
eliminate Latin, Greek and the classics
and teach their students how to get
out and earn livelihood, according to
Miss Parrish.
A number of the teachers present took
issue with Miss Parrish.
