J;S ffiS ' - - - v;. ; ' - TERMS: SLOOTER YEAR I EDUCATIONAL - AND RELIGIOUS J! . Edited by Rev. TF. B. Coppedge, f A., M., County Superinten dent of Schools Hazing The recent" shooting of a stu dent in one of the largest col leges in tnis tate : by one of a party of hazers calls attention anew to a subject which we had hoped would - not soon require consideration. Hazing is too bar- barous to be tolerated by this age. As some of Ithe Richmond county boys will soon be brought face with the merits of this ques tion we should like for them to make up their minds as to how they will deal with it. The fol lowin from the Monroe Enquirer deals with the subject so well as perhaps not to be susceptible of improvement: An Accurate Analysis. A hazer who goes to the room of a student and inflicts injuries upon him should be punished exactly as he would be if he were to go out and enter the home of a citi- 7fin and inflict punishment on the members of the household. The hazV ahnnM'hft ssunnressed. He is a cowardly sneak, the hazer is The boy, who goes around under cover of darkness anckbacked by suneVior numbers of cattle of his " X- " own stripe wantonly inflicting niinishmfint on his fellow stu- infa o ofroair of nninp as broad as a barn door running ' - through his whole moral system: A hazer will never ;ffll a man's place when either moral or phys- ical courage is needed. He is a white-livered, cringing coward, the hazer is. ever and always when the bucle calls for true l tTo io I . 1 fellow who will desert a friend in the face o danger, who will go over to the enemy in the storm of : battle.. This is the stripe of ' 'man-thing ! your ha zer turns out to be after he leaves school and goes out . into the world of men, In afteryears you will always find that the ha zer's soul is made of putty when men of iron soul are called upon to perform any duty. . RELIGIOUS Idleness J ..' It is an opinion by no means uncommon j hat when" one is not . engaged ; in- some positively vi cious or immoral conduct he is fulfiDing the requirements of God's law, .and is therefore re- ; ceiving the divine: approval, but this opinion is; tar from coniorm- ; ing to the teachings of noiy writ The Bible disapproves - in the clearest terms of idleness. It makes no difference; .how ..much "money 'we 'may have and how little therefore the necessity for our : laboring for our support, God intends for us to make use nf rrfir p.anacitv for service. The my poor should Work becaui e they need to earn their bread and be cause the world needs their ser vice. ' The rich shDuld work be cause the world needs their ser vice. Both the rich and the poor receive i benefit for their work and confer a benefit upon oth ers. Work is respectable, ; but idleness should not be tolerated. Social position, culture, royal blood do not justify idleness'. Thorns and pain and sweat and sorrow are parts of the penalty oi sin, but work is nob. "Adam had work to' do before!,' the fall. "The Lord ' God took the man and.put'him into "the garden oi Ederi to dress it and to keep it. If work was expected of inan in his pristine holiness, it is no less to be expected 'that jie shall have employment now, whensthere is so much needful for counteract ing the evil consequence of in "Be not slothful in business" is just as binding as "Be fervent in spirit.". Paul says in writing to the Thessalonians: "We hear that there are some among you which walk disorderly, working not at all, but .are busy bodies, Now them that are such we com mand and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that With Quiet ness they work, and eat their own Dread.: 1 he World owes no man a living, a common saying to the contrary, notwithstanding. If any man work not,, neither shall he eat. ' ' This scripture shows that every one owes the world service, and God will hold every one accountable for the way. in which it is rendered. A passage of scripture that does not receive as much atten tion as it ought seems to show that doing nothing, is the worst of all crimes. When the Savior draws that vivid picture of the final judgment recorded in the twenty-hf th chapter of Matthew, He seems to regard idleness as 01 so mucA more consequence than the sins that are usually re yarded as heinous, that He pass es them by entirely, and con demns the wicked for what thev Lad not done. He does not say, Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devikand his angels-, for ye were cmeves ana arunKarQs ana mur .-I.J'' 1J T j ..

"Inasmuch as ye did it? not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punish ment, but the righteous into life eternal" , As long as there are people in the world suffering from pain, or sorrow, or ignorance, or vice, "there will be work to do WORK FOR YOU to DO- Find ypir work; find it without delay, and wh,en you have found it, do it wity your might. r 1 But some one says, 'I have no special gifts for philanthropic work; let those do the work who know , how. " The ability to do this kind of work is like the-ability to do other kinds of work: it ;s , de veloped by practice. The skilled mechanic acquired his skill by following mechanical pursuits If he had any talent he developed it by application. One of ordi nary ability can attain some measure of proficiency in almost any line.; As it is with the me chanic, the artist, the author, so it is with the one who under takes benevolent work, profici ency will' soon be acquired. Nurse the sick, comfort the sor rowing, instruct the ignorant, cheer the discouraged, warn he impenitent, Work for the Master in some line of christian activity and you will soon become a work man that need not be ashamed. .Work developes strength' as well as skill; The blacksmith be comes muscular; so does the ditcher. The man who . has to think becomes stronger in intel lect. - So too those who work for the Lord developed a spiritual strength and a capacity for spir itual enjoyment tnat they would wr, hnninw find 5ome V U U A- V " - --r f www ' work to do. . ' Education in Arizona Mr. Editor: The writer of these lines has recently visited some of the educational institu tions of Arizona and is going to give the people of the Carolinas the benefit of what ? he saw; and heard. The Arizona that - you read about and the real Arizona are .two different things; The wild and wooly west of 25 and 30 years ago is very largely a thing of the past. Ranch life is as real today as it ever was per haps, but the cowboys no longer ride into towns and shoot the town up just . for fun Old Ari zona has passed away and has been replaced by a new and up-to-date Arizona. And in noth ing is Arizona more modern and up-to-date than her schools. I ;say this after having seen for myself. cf;r tkmSpr' During a recent visit to Phoe nix, the capital of the territory, I had the pleasure of looking in on the Indian school, a child of the government. There must be some six or eight hundred pu pils in this school. Supt. Good man, assisted by Mr.Sayder.are at the helm. The grounds are beau tiful, and on the campus are many magnificent buildings. Everything is run like '. clock work. .The children are taught how to do all kinds of work, and the illustrative method is pur sued very largely in instruction. The government has spared no pains nor money to thoroughly equip this school. The teachers are all thoroughly trained men and woraeu, and best of all they are taught the "more excellent way. ' ' Mr. Goodman, the super intendent is a conscientious, christian gentleman, and his in fluence for good is felt among the jchildren of the red man. The output will doubtless pay as no one can tell tl?e good that will be accomplished by the enlightened red man. The State Normal at Tempe, near Phoenix, is presided over by Mr- Matthews, and is a flour ishing school. Here most of the teachers of the Arizona schools are prepared for their life work' After six years of hard work they go forth to battle with the realities of life. A diploma from this school stands for something, and is a pass in to any of the public schools. Afte a canvass of the schools in our town.Globe, I give to your readers the following facts and figures: School buildings 3. : teachers, 17 Grades, 8 in, common schools Grades, 4 in high school. Scholars enrolled, 943. School months in year 9. Value of school property,' $77,- 594. ' .w.- Pupils in territory-of Arizona, 27.000. Total paid to teachers (1908) $400,000. The reader will observe that these last figures apply to the territory as a whole.; Globe is a city of some 8,000 inhabitants, at the present time; and of this number almost one-eighth are in j the schools of the ity. Can any city in the south boast of such a record? v I mean, a city with the same number of inhabitants. The work done is of a high grade, the .; training is thorough, and what is very conspicus to a south- 1 erner, the , oenavior is almost perfect. This does not sound so bad for Arizona, does it? I think not. From these simple fact's you willgather that Arizona is very much alive on the subject of edu cation. She prides herself on I her schools. It is one of the hope-J ful signs of the times. I And about New Arizona it will not be amiss to say another word. Moral reform has struck Arizona also, while, the clock- has not struck twelve, the; hands are in good funning order, the instru ment is wound up and some day it will strike twelve in Arizona. A great prohibition fight is on in Maricopa county, of which Phoe nix ; is the capital and county seat, the temperance; forces are lined up in military fashion, and a victory is confidently expected. .v.
