MERGERS GOOD NAME.

e. aazxru
The work of good year at Mercer
University was closed Wednesday
when the graduates were given their
diplomas. President Packard seemed
thoroughly alive to the great respon-
sibilities that are upon his shoulders
as head of this institution which has
so long stood as the best exponent of
Christian education in Georgia. Near
ly four hundred young men were there
during the year.
Much work has been done and lit
tie has been said about it, 1t can
hardly be doubted that this institu-
ton would be known all over the south
as one of the leading education fac
tors in the lives of oar young men
had the wide publicity been given

leges of equal rank 1t may be fine
thing after all that the heads of the
various departments at Mercer choose
rather to work than to make a big
fuss about ii. 1t takes time to make
a big noise and the time of the SEES
sion just closing at Mercer was as
suredly not given to that.

who love the institution worry about
the fuss and the feathers?" The
world is looking for educated men,
men who can do and dare in spite of
adversities,-men who know the full
meaning of efficiency. At Mercer those
who do the work seem TO know that.
Former graduates of Mercer all
over the state are beginning to feel
that it is the really good work that
counts and are therefore learning to
place the credit where it is due. The
fact that old Mercer has just closed
a good year is going from mouth to
mouth all down the line and the good
report will spread That's an adver-
tisement that money cannot buy. It's
worth cannot be measured in currency.

Il HER MoNu EMF

The death of Miss Helen Brewer in
Savannah Thursday brought deep sor
tow to the people of Cordele and
Crisp county. Friends had been
watching for days for the encouraging
news of her condition that never
came. Hers was long battle and as
he news of her serious illness went
rom mouth to mouth over the COM
munity the hope for her recovery be-
came more general. Her going was
indeed shock.
The work she did as librarian in
Cordele will live many year in the
people she taught to love books. She
knew her mission as librarian. She
quickly learned the temperament of
the people she had to serve. She had
a wonderful mastery of the needs of
the people of both city and county
and gave her time unreservedly
She knew how to create an interest
in the library. She knew how to start
the beginner and she knew how to
direct the reading Of people of matur-
er years even to great profit. Her life
in her great storehouse of books was
an inspiration to any one who sought
to learn.
Hers was the profoundest regard
for TIC wisdom in books In the pres
ence of the great authors she wisper-
ed many a suggestion into the ears of
those who came eager to learn some
thing. Her life here was. a service that
will Aecome her monument in our
hearts. She filled her place in Cor
dele so we'll and so modestly that she
drew the admiration of the most dis
tant stranger and the deep love of
great host of friends.
Shall we ever forget Miss Brewer?
In the years to come even the little
boys and the little girls she taught to
love books in our midst will think of
the good service she rendered. And in
the Great Beyond when we can know
all things, and not until then, shall
any one ever see the full fruits of her
long labors.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-06-10

for personal advancement is not
worthy to have part in the propa-
cation of work which more than
any other needs men inspired by mo-
tives purely unselish to carry it for
ward. Nearly every community has
men Of both kinds, the one who will
make the schools interests subserv-
ent to his own, and the one who makes
his own secondary to the schools.
The editor of the Cordele Dispatch
seems to have caught the broader Wis
ion with reference to the view that
citizen who counts for anything in
his community should have of
work SO vital. He has written some ex-
cellent articles dealing with school
work locally and generally from time
to time recently The thing that he
seems to emphasize more than all
other in these articles is the ex-
IRENE Importance of unity, harmony
and coordinate effort as a means to-
ward the most effectual accomplish
ment of this important work
His apparent willingness to devote
his time and space to the interest of
the schools can be interpreted in no
other way than genuine. He is in
position to be used as a powerful ally
in perfecting the school system of
his country and those interested in the
schools will do we'll to encourage his
interest and use it to the best posi-
Bile neutrality-suspicious. News.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-06-10

than to provide good schools for that
citizenship. No other move will do
more to make and hold a substantial
rural citizenship. Nothing else under
the sun will do more to tear down our
city walls and make all the county
one great, progressive community.
Nothing else could bring us better
educated boy and girl for our future
citizenship. And the cost,-it cannot
be more than we are spending now.
The Dispatch must tell you again
that your schools have been used
many, many years to make room for
the selfish office holder. The good of
the little boys and girls never dwells
long in the minds of such men. The
Dispatch tells you again that the
schools are suffering now because the
office holder is using them to en-
trench himself in his job. The teach
err who fails to- do obeisance, quail
fication or no qualification, cannot
have a place in Cordele nor in Crisp
county. No school, however deserv
ing it may be of the service of a good
teacher, can have such teacher, if by
such service the teacher should
qualify himself, as factor for up
roofing the hold of the INSCRIPTIONS
on the system.
Saying this over and over again is
not pleasant duty for The Dispatch.
There is no special satisfaction. There
is no mean motive. There is no axe
to grind. The schools are on our mind,
the training our little ones are to
get under such shameful management.
Put the politicians on their merits as
educators and weigh them. Compare
them with unselfish workers for the
educational welfare of the communi-
ty. Let them measure shadows with
those who would better elementary
training for the children. Are they
worthy of the places they hold? Are
we to sacrifice our all in good schools
because one man desires to dominate?
Our spirit of business push and pro-
pressiveness is fine. Those who work
are finding abundant good results,
but because of all this shall we forget
our schools and leave them in the
hands CT those who know more about
Shaking" into Office than they do
about keeping the schools from rust
ing out?

OF GOOD SCHOOL
SYSTEM.

Thinking people everywhere are
coming to recognize how important
a factor the school is in the develop
ment and progress of every communi-
ty and the broader minded ones are
well aware that 1.-THE only way to go
about the upbuilding of the schools
is to put aside selfish ambitions and
the desire for personal aggrandize-
ment. They know that a man who
will be influenced by the effect of his
activities along school lines upon him.

lFFlcIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
GIVE US GOOD SCHOOLS.

The Dispatch is indebted to the vi
nina News for the letter of Superin-
endent Lawton b. Evans of the Rich
nond county scholo system publish
I'd elsewhere in this issue The News
!. Is at work for one system in Dooly
and together with the county super
intendent is apparently making good
Iheadway. Superintendent Evans is
one of Georga's leading educators.
What he has to say in this letter is of
| vital interest to every citizen of Crisp
! county. Please let no one fail to read
it,
In Crisp our Cordele city system is
scut loose from the county and coun-
: try schools. We starve the rural child
educationally and fatten the city
child We provide nine months term
in Cordele and seven in the rural
communities and there permit great
conglamoration of ideas and separate
methods to prevail. whereas, in the
!, city the whole aim is to operate by a
single, well planned schedule which
Y will take the child through certain,
/ definite schedule work for each grade,
Is there a single plausible reason on
earth why the country boy and the
country girl may not be entitled to the
same kind of schooling as that pro-
vided for She city? Shall we call our
selves broad minded when we set up
a good system in the city and then
erect a wall over which country chill
dren cannot come? Isn't it selfish to do
that in Cordele and refuse to do it in
the rural sections. especially when it
is all done with the tax money, Isn't
it worse than selfish for us to spend
the money of our tax payers in the
salaries of two school superintend,
ents just to make ii possible for the
city to have one system and the coun.
ty another? Is ii wise to do that when
aI
body as superintendent, both city and
county, and save the salary of one
official? How long would any man
calling himself an educator and really
interested in the best training for the
children permit this condition to
exist?
Both our systems are creatures of
orr own making. They can be chang
ed at our will. Please do not let any
one pass you with the claim that we
cannot change the schools to suit
ourselves. 1t is as easy task as was
ever undertaken The two systems
can be thrown into one with but a
single stroke of the pen of the gov
ernor of Georgia and he would do it
gladly if we asked it.
We want representative county
board of education of at least fifteen
members elected by the people and
possibly maintained subsequently by
its own selection of members. We
want one superintendent for all the
schools,--an educator named by that
board and answerable to that body.
We want that man to carry to the
country schools the same splendid
ideas that are incorporated in the
city schools. We want the same sys-
TEN of grading for the rural schools
that prevails in the city.
No section of Georgia has a better
class of farmers and rural citizenship
than has Crisp. To that one thing
Cordele owes its present good bust
ness more than to anything else in
the world. We can do no greater good

Mrs. Dudley, out at Durward's Glen,
takes exception TO my telling the
story about the York state boys who
fell under the ponderous weight OF
the Cardiff Giant. She says she was
born and reared In New York state,
and that the people are too smart to
be caught by a cheap trick. Well,
bless your heart, Mrs. Dudley, I my
self, Hugh Kelley, was born In the
Empire state, right in old Chautau-

on a clustering March morning be-
tween crow-cock and the breakfast
bell, and for this reason / am both

STAND BY YOUR GUNS, SEN
ATOR -4s.
AIOR

Many are pleased to see Senator
Staudenmayer stand by h guns. Ac-
cording to his statement in Portage
paper he looked over the ground care
fully before introducing the bill into
the legislature which made possible
the Prairie du Sac bridge project. He
found one end of the old bridge rested
in Dane county, the other in Sank
county, and supposed the new struc-
ture would be placed in the location
of the old. When the time came he
let fly the bill and it became a law.
When it came to locating the new
bridge, it was decided to place the
end in the senator's county, Column
bia, and the people rose up against
paying $4,000 as their share of the
cost of the improvement. The su-
preme court, however, has decided
the county must pay, and now some
Of the taxpayers are after the SEN
ator's scalp because he fathered the
bill. It was an unexpected maneu-
yer to place the burden on Columbia
instead of Dane county, and no doubt
the turn in the tide has caused some
surprise. Neither the senator nor
anyone else could foresee the out
come, hence the crossfire. The SEN
ator should stand by his guns.
