White Town School, a Model.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an interesting report of the closing ex-
ercises of the White Tcwn school,
which in many respects is a model ru-
raj school Judging from the manner
il. which the school has aourished, we
are constrained to believe that, in addi-
tion to two capable. conscientious
teachers, the school has at its back a
good, live board of trustees, although
we are not informed as to the person
mel.
The board has acted wisely in select
ing teachers who have made study of
teaching, just as the ambitious lawyer
or doctor does of his profession. In
stead of resorting to the school room
for temporary employment and teach
ing so many hours day for a given
number of months in order that they
may draw stipulated sum of money,
these ladies are thoroughly in love with
their work. And while it is true they
are interested in the financial feature,
just as every one else would be. that
to them is not the only thing to be con-
sidered in connection with teaching.
They are interested in the development
and progress of the boys and girls un-
der them as we'll as in their pay check
each month.
After acting wisely in selecting their
corps of teachers, the White Town
patrons and trustees again acted the
part of wisdom in retaining the same
teachers from session to session. A
child is placed at disadvantage by
having a new teacher each year. 1t
requires the better part of one session
/ for teacher to become thoroughly ac-
quainted with child's temperament,
talent and capacity. This being true
more satisfactory results are obtained
the second year than during the first
years work. When Il child is placed
under new teacher session after ses.
sion, instead of rapid or even normal
advancement, the same preliminary
work of the previous session has to be
gone through with again. Our honest
belief is that boy or girl will do more
satisfactory work and make better
progress in two years under one teach
er than during three years when teach
ers are changed each session. There
fore, The Advertiser urges trus-
tees and patrons to retain good teach
ers after they have been fortunate
enough to secure them.
This ls just what the White Town
school has done. Both of the ladies
have been elected for another year, and
for the good of the school and the COM
munity at large we hope they will
accept these positions again.

Unless the law is allowed to take it;
course and the practice of paying ne
groes out of trouble in order to gel
them as farm hands is discontinued,
Edgefeld county is going to be greatly
shocked by having some Austins stalk
forth as walking arsenals, committing
lameless crimes. For the sake of the
ne egroes and for the good Of society let
criminals suffer for committing crime.
When light offenses are committed and
he goes scot free, the criminal will
be emboldened to commit larger and
more aggravated crimes. When both
white and colored people wiilfully vio-
late the law they should be punished
for their wrong doing.

Will Not Precipitate Disaster.

There are people who continue tc
predict disaster for the Wilson admin.
istration and we do not blame them.
The individual who thinks that such
ideas and principles as Mr.. Wilson is
trying to establish, can be established
without terrible friction, is enthusias-
tic indeed. It's possible that the Dem
ocratic party may be completely, over
thrown next year; but even that will
not be evidence of the failure of MIR.

BY HALL GAME.

About three years ago ! began 20
write what ! believed to be a moral
sty. When my book was published nj
the beginning Of August, It was de-
clared TO be an immortality. As a con-
sequence, the subject ! set out 10
deal with has been obscured, and !
have wasted two months in contend
ting with a number or people VINO
have raised side issue
But ! have become impatient Of the
prolonged misrepresentation OF 70 d.
sEh people. with heads like a bell and
tongues like its clapper. so am now
trying to abridge IT by an attempt 10
say what my book Is really about.
what subject II IL intended to deal
with, what gospel IL is trying TO
preach.
"A Glorious Gospel"
The best short account Of the mo-
ave Of my work came to me a few
days ago from the most unexpected
quarter-out Of "a Franciscan monas-
terry. ITO my mind" wrote the friar,
you preach a glorious gOspel-the
gospel OF freedom In the choice Of
life over which nobody should act the
part of despot, not even parent. God
gave us all liberty. He forces none.
Let conscience be our only guide.
Otherwise life ends In disaster"
Yet what does the law OF nature
eay2 II says that on the freedom ~
woman-hor right OF guiding her life
for herself, Of choosing her partner
OF nurturing training and educating
her children, of controlling her own
person, Of being mistress Of herself
and sovereign Of her souI-the real
welfare Of the race and the world
depends
Because she Is woman, because she
is wife. because she is mother. be-
cause she is the medium through
whom the generations are carried on
nature gives her this premier place.
And natures law has been struggling
all through the history of humanity 10
assert her right to it-by the passion
OF the lover, by the love Of the child,
by the genius Of the poet and the
painter and even the chivalry OF tho
warrior.
] will not be asked to accent the
story in the second chapter OF Gene
sis as a literal account Of how woman
came into the world and what uses
God assigned to her. But ] do most
cheerfully accept IL as a symbolical
rendering OF mans conception Of
woman's origin and moral functions.
As a consequence she was a Crea-
ture who might expect to be cared
for by man, to be controlled by him
and 10 possess no separate rights eN-
cept such as he conferred upon her
God had, in mans view, confirmed
this relation, and hence the title of
my book. The Woman Thou Gavest

ed from the authorized version of the
Scriptures faithfully reproduces the
spirit Of the original tongue.
