SCHOOL DAYS
"Half past four and school is cut.
Hear the children joyfully shout/'
How times have changed since we
attended the IrttTe red school house.
Then school opened at eight, and
closed at half rast four, with one
liOur'i intermission for dinner. Now
the teachers and children can only
pot in about half that time, they
open at eight forty-6ve and close
about three, or a little later, with
the same intermission for dinner.
Well, we suppose that is as it should
be /for neither the teachers nor the
children can stand the work done
in those days, for they had men
and sure enough boys and girls
in those days. The teachers did not
have the strenuoas life to lead they
?do at present. They did not have
to entertain until about eleven, or
later, and neither were they both
ered with so many bridge clubs, and
automobile parties. It was not nec
essary for the boys and girls to go
<lewn town every night to attend
the movie, or to go joy riding with
some young buck who had learned ]
little else save driving a flivver.
The charge is frequently made ?
we heard it from the pulpit recently,
th?.t our schools are a failure. Is
this true, and if true where is the
fault T Is it . with the teachers, or
the children? We go not believe
the fault is altogether with the
teachers, though we believe some
teachers are woefully lacking in
what really makes a gO:d teacher.
Some times the example set bv t'rz
teacher is not for the; best interest
of the child, and. consequently the
child has little respect for such a
-teacher. We fear there are too rilany
teachers, both male and female, who
are using the pi?: f?ssion of teach
ing as stepping > tones to something
else. Too many of the male teach
era are simply teaching until- they
ran secure their license to prarl?cc
? law, while far too many o? the lacier
are using it to tide over the time un
til they can land some man.
But all of the trouble w o:.t to
he laid at the foot of the teacher,
for the trouble began before the
teachqr got hold of the child, it be
gan back in the rvome. Today too
largely is the chjld the "b&t-V of
the home, and.thi,s bossism begins
even before the child starts t "* school,
When a, child is l>oss in the home,
it naturally expects to be bos-s when
it goes to school, and this same idea
goes with it until . he reaches col
lege, and whep he leaves college he
iff afraid of neither God nor the devil
And you know the end of that l.oy
or girl.
We would not go xo tar a* to say
that our schools are absolutely fail'
urea, but we do say, with many
others, that we are not getting value
received for the amount of money
and time which N being expended
on our schools. One trouble i-, fat
too many hoys an. I iriiK aro in
lege who should be in the cor:i Odd
orjn some factory, for they are do
ing no good fn college ? ;ply spend
ing Dad's money and having a big
thne T>ey manage to "pull" through
college, and then lament the fact
that they can go no longer, but are
compelled to go home and show wha:
miserable failures they are.
-SCfSkklg ? of the I iino ? ..^r>nt in
~ taboo), We; have often^_Wpn<fered~w*Hy"
*t is that the teachers and children
can only work ftve dliys ^a" weekV
When the ' merchant*, the bankers.
the newspaper "folks, factories, and,
in Tact all other callings work six
days. God said, "Six days shalt thou
lab?r," but the school teacher only
labors five, regardless of the ccm
tnand. Rev. W. S. Long, peace to
his ashes, one of the leading teach
ers of AlamafiCe county, used to
have a favorite Jclce which he often
told. He said in the early days the
trocher, who was aht)iys a man.
-trould teach but ftve days in the
week because he only had one shirt,
hence he had to mosey around his
room on Saturday while his good
wife washed that shirt.
But what is the trouble with our
j w?>ooU? We do nst know, and of
fer no suggestion, for the mi>sjt
learned in the profession today is
un?b!e to offer a solution. But some
thing is wr>-ng, and we hope some
cne will come forward with the
remedy.
The prospects were never brighter
in this section for the farmer, for
all crops are fine. They teli us that
tobacco Is curing up as well as could
be wished, with all of the color nec
essary to satisfy the wants of the
manufacturer, and there is no reas
on whiy it should not bring a good
piice. We believe it will, and the
farmers of this County will have
more money to spend than in many
years. How will they spend it J
If they are wise they will first look
t3 paying their debts, fo* mo?t >*f
them were compelled by last year's
crop failure to go in debt. It is no
*bame or disgrace to be in debt,
but it is both a shame and a dis
grace to fail to pay when you have
j tW money. *?? '? : sv'
Governor McLean, aside from his
