The NEW EDUCATION

the other. 1t is the school from which
must come most of the teachers OF the
lower schools. 1t is the peoples col
lege. 1t is foolish to think Of every
ones getting college education. We
do not all have the means to do so,
and all do not have the capacity, If
they had the means. The thing the
great masses should do is to learn TO
do few things well. This know
ledge coupled with a good character
makes a good and prosperous citizen.
This is the aim of the public schools
Of the future.
The elementary schools of this
county are not what they should be
by any means, but they get little
better every year. better IN attendance
and better taught, They are at least an
average Of the state.
We feel proud of our High School
State officials tell us it is one of the
best in the state. 1t is one Of the
largest in enrolment, and one of the
best in character of work done, We
have yet to hear Of single complaint
coming from any pupil or patron.
II is a first class high school offer
ing four year course Of study and
thorough course in Agriculture and
Domestic Science.
Every boy and girl who can possi-
bly, do so should attend this school.

Education is a slow process. 1t is
sometimes painful process. 1t al
ways, like anything else that is worth
while, is more or less costly. 1t takes
from one to two decades to develop
an idea and get the masses to under
stand it. 1t takes money and thought
and patint teaching.
That the education of the people is
the very foundation Of the future pros
perity of the people of Putnam county,
of the State, and of the entire South,
is an idea well established in the
minds of all thinking people. 1t is
that without which no progress along
any line of endeavor can be made.
But what kind of an education?
Thre is a new idea that has not yet
baen brought before the whole people.
We have been teaching the boys and
girls to read and write and spell and
parse and solve problems in mathemat-
les. This Is good, but it is not now G.
nough., They tell us that this only will
not be sufficient any longer. We are
told that our system has fitted young
people for clerks, and bookkeepers,
and other professions, and has taken
them away from the country and the
farm. We must now, in addition to
what we have been teaching, teach
the boy and girl something about the
things they have to deal with in their
home life,and interms of every day life
They must be taught the things to do
to make plants grow best with the
least expense; the proper breaking
and cultivating of the soil; the care
of live stock; and the many other
things necessary to the Improvement
of the country home, and the better
mnt of country life.
But does not the country boy and
girl already know these things. /
asked myself the same question.
thought they at least ought to know
them, Now know that they do not |
They do not know them because they |
have not been taught, and because |
thy have had no opportunity to be tau
ght How are they to be taught? In
the public schools. There Is no other
school now that reaches the masses.
The day of the private school is
past, except the great institutions long
established and with large endowments
and the State universities and normal
schools will some day take much Of
their patronage
The public school is the peoples
school. It Is not patronized by the
sons and daughters Of degenerate aris-
tocracy or the idle rich; but by the
great masses the sinew and strength !
Of the state. 1t is the one place
where all come together on common
level. It is the one institution that ie
the hope Of the state, the foundation
Of the republic. The intelligence, the
culture, and largely the prosperity OF
any community in this county, or any ,
where else can be measured by the
success or failure of its public school.
In the public school system there
are two grades of schools, the Ele- ,
nentary and the High school. One
