WUt’t Wrong?
< What'a wrong with the Barnwell
Graded School? Is our present edu-
• cations! system to blame? Or are the
methods employed by our teachers
faulty? Or are the boys and- girls of
Barnwell unusually dull?
o It has been brought to the attention
of the editor recently that a number
of parents in town are employing a
private tutor in the afternoon to
TEACH their children their lessons.
V - _ • - •
They have been forced to adopt this
plan because of the very low marks
received at school, and we have heard
of at least one father who is seriously
considering taking his boy from the
graded school and putting him in
charge of a private teacher. —
More money is being spent for edu<
cation each year, and If the children of
this generation are notbeing bene-
fitted, whose fault is it? Is it the
fault of the teacher, the parent, $he
child, or a combination or all three?
Is lt the duty of the teacher merely to
ASSIGN a child his lessons today and
hear him RECITE them tomorrow after
he^has been TAUGHT by some one
else, oris it the teacher’s duty to do
the TEACHING himself or herself?
i i|
The people of this school district pay
taxes for the support of the school so
that their children may receive the
benefit of a common school education.
Is ft fair for them to have to pay a pri
vate individual to "help” their children
with their “lessons”?
We do not know where the blame
lies and do not wish any of our readers
to think that we are trying to place
that blame on any of - ftre^teachers.
Put there is something or somebody
who is responsible jfor the state of af
fairs mentioned above, aft'd the sooner
the fault is found and the remedy applied
the better it will be for all concerned.'
Perhaps a child has been advanced too
rapidly, or the lessons assigned are too
long, or the classes are too large to
give each child the proper attention—
as we have said we do not know, but
something should be dons before the
school is disrupted by dissatisfaction.

In chapter two of the Koran we read:
“They will ask thee concerning wine
and lots: Answer, In both there is
great sin, and also some things of use
unto men; but their sinfulness is great
er than their use.” r
In chapter five we read, . “£) true be
lievers, surely wine, and lots, and im
ages, and divining arrows, are an abomi
nation of the work of Satan; therefore
avoid them, that ye may prosper.”
A footijote atthis place in Sale’s trans
lation of the Koran says that this pro
hibition embraces “all inebriating li
quors and games of chance,” and in his
preliminary diScdurse the same writer
tells us that “Under the name of lots the
commentaters Agree that all other games
whatsoever, Vjhich are subject to hazard
or chance, arocomprehended and for
bidden; as dice, cards, tables, etc, And
they ^re reckoned so ill in themselves,
that the.testimony of him who playsat
thorn is, by the more rigid, judgecr to
be of no validity in a court of justice.
Chess is almost the only game which
the Mohammedan doctors allow to be
lawful (though it has been doubted by
some), because it depends wholly on
skill and management, and not at all
on chance: but then it is allowed under
certain restrictions, viz., that it be no
hindrance to the regular performance
of their devotions, and that no money
or other thing be played for or betted.”
Of course it is understood that we are
not setting up the Koran as the stand
ard of Christian conduct. But when
jtfs seen that Aristotle, and Mohammed,
and the present president of China are
at one in their condemnation of gam?
bling it ought to lead to serious thought
in the minds of those who call them
selves Christians,—and do we not, all of
us, speak of ourselves as a Christian
people?
In so far forth as Christianity embodies
higher ideals than any other religion or
philosophy a Christian community
ought to exemplify those ideals. Is it
ndt so?

I N time of death the bank account proves itself the BEST KIND of
insurance. You can get your money IMMEDIATELY and without
question. During life the bank account provbs EQUALLY VAIr
UABLE, provided it is kept at a figure that really insures, and it pays
BETTER INTEREST. v Get your cash in the hank. Leave it there. You
can’t beat that kind of insurance. This requires DETERMINATION
and sometimes SELF SACRIFICE. But it pays. A bank account WITH
US is your BEST POLICY.
