After the tempest comes the calm aftor the rain, the auoihlne, and after tho strife of the fortnight, let us taavo ' peaco. It is a paradox that differences of opinion upon moral Issues should ox cite fiercer antagonisms than those ■which dlvldo us In politics or eco nomics. A Notable First Anniversary. The Ohio Sun, published at Colum bus, the state capital, la ono of the phenomenal papers pf tbs Central States. The Sun Is Just a year old and its anniversary edition offers a won derful evidence of growth and appre ciation richly merited by good taats nnd conspicuous enterprise. The Sun Is beautifully printed and ably edited. Its news service Is admirable In all re spects and la handled In the most ap proved and modern style. Its anniver sary edition is one ot the beat of the year In all respects, and few editions ■ ot any paper in any year havo Includ ed a moro admirable and striking ; summary of the industrial, commer cial, financial and educational condi tions surrounding it. We congratu late The Sun upon the new ornament that It baa brought to Journalism and ' predict with logical certainty that Its success will be progressive and con tinual. The Barbers’ Bill. There seems to be general favor for > tho Barbers' bill Introduced Into the I legislature. This Is an act tat regu- ' late the practlco of the occupation of ' a barber within tho state,of Georgia, , to Insure proper sanitary conditions , In barber (hops, to prevent the spread ing of disease therefrom, to provide for the registration and licensing of j persons to carry ou and practice tho i oocupatlon of a harbor, to Insure tho | competency ot such practitioners, to I establish a board ot examiners to car I ry out the purposes of this act, to ( make penal any violation* ot the terms ot this act and to prescribe i punishment therefor, and for other I'purposes. ' It Is Impossible to estimate the I number ot people who are effected by i a measure of this kind. As a matter Of health, sanitation and protection. It I la very much to be commended, and . we don’t see any reasonable basis up on which It could be opposed. High Honors For Barbour Thompson. The Georgian cannot fall to extend , Ita congratulations to Mr. J. B. 8. ■ Thompson upon the welt deserved I compliment which the Southern rail- j way has paid him In elevating him to ] the position ot assistant to the pres ident, with authority second In the I system only to President Finley btm- ! Self. j Mr. Thompson has been for many l pear* the agent and local authority of the Southern railway In this city and section, and there are fev who will begrudge him the credit of hav ing conducted the affairs of the Southern with so much of fairness, of ability and ot suavity as to have soothed much ot the Irritation which | railroad policies have evoked and to yimo increased the good will which 1 might prevail toward thl* great cor poration. Mr. Thompson la a Virginian and a gentleman, a man of honor and a man of affairs. He Is closely linked with the social and business life of Atlan ta, and we are quite sure that without regard to faction, the city will approve the Just promotion which has come to him. GENTLEMEN SHOULD BE OF ONE MIND HERE. Among the vital measures which touch the life and the soul of the peo ple In this great and philanthropic age, there la no one which appeals more strongly to thoughtful people In the wider ranks of life than the effort to be made In the general assembly to raise the limit'of the age of consent to 18 years. It seems almost the history of barbarism to recall the fact that there was a time when the age of consent was only 7 years. In many of the states It remains at 12 years, and In some ot them even yet at 10 years. The plea to be presented to the legislature of Georgia Is wise and Just and It should appeal to the conscience and to the ohlvalry of every father and every gentleman In the general assembly. By the knowledge of social problems which a position In the' world brings about, we understand as men of quieter occupations seldom do that tha thousands of little girls whom the ruthless grind of soolal com plexities compel to earn a living In being ao placed at the mercy of the world, deserve to be amply protected, from the snares ot the betrayer. The steadily Increasing number of little mothers of nameless children under the age of sixteen proves that our girls are not protected and that those who beguile them away from the innocence of childhood Into sin- blackened lives, have too often done so with Impunity and without re morse. The safe-guarding ot all that Is dear to women, and consequently, the mainspring of home life, futly pleads the Justice of this cause and we express the belief that a legislature of Georgia gentlemen will not fall to write Its prompt and emphatic Indorsement upon this measure when It comes. THE COUNCIL AND GREATER ATLANTA. It Is difficult to understand the Monday action of tha council In Its double form of a legislative body and a committee of the whole. 8!tt!ng a* a committee of tho whole the council voted to postpone the consideration of the Greater Atlanta proposition until January. 1908. Adjourning the committee ot the whole and passing Immediately Into session as a council, the body voted to take up the consideration of Greater Atlanta on the first Monday In August. So that In the course of ten minutes the same body under different forms passed two widely different resolutions dealing most diversely with the Important question of (the enlargement of the city. It Is difficult to frame any other conclusion from this action than that the hope of a groator city Is postponed for this session of the legisla ture at least It will .be too late even after the first of August to got the measure through the legislature unless some lightning method of proce dure can be developed by the concurrence of both houses. And of course to postpone It until January la a practical removal of the question from the life and the Judgment of this legislature. It Is vory much to be regretted, and The Georgian very much regrets that the matter could not have been taken up and given some kind of no tion during the present session. We are sorry that the council did not at least ask the legislature to enlarge In part the limits of the town even If they desire to postpone a further enlargement until another body of lawmakers assemble In tho capital. Wo trust that even yet tho August consideration will give some en largement to the limits of the city which will add to our population and enable Atlanta to hold its numerical place among the growing and am bitious cities which surround It GEORGIA’S GIRLS APPEAL TO THE LEGISLATURE. As tho general assembly through Us appropriations and financial com mittees comes to the consideration of educational matters, The Georgian desires most respectfully to urge upon lte favorable conelderatlon the policy of large and fearless liberality toward the material necessities of education In the state. This Is a crisis In tho educational history ot Georgia. Its distinct trend Is upward and onward; Its methods are progressive, Its spirit la fine, its Ideals are uplifting. Us noble army of toachers are consecrated to the best *io|k of their lives, and whatever the legislature does, we trust that It may not fall with Us appropriations genelously and speedily made to Increase and to Inspire the schools and colleges of the state for the ensuing year. All the state Institutions are worthy of help and should receive their due reward. But The Georgian desires to call especial attention to the pressing needs of tho Georgia Normal and Industrial College at Mllledge- vllle. The state with moneys appropriated some time ago, through the trustees and faculty havo erected at Mllledgevllle two of tho most beauti ful and convenient buildings devoted to education In the South. As a result of the sheer taste and devoUon of the president and two members of tho board, these buildings are worthy of the wealth of Massachusetts and of tho culture ot Athens. The buildings stand, however, unfitted for use because they need from tho legislature enough money to equip them for the great army of girls who are ready to move therein. President Parka will doubtless present In detail these mat ters before the leglilaturc. The attendance for the past year at this great school, one of the greatest In the South and In the country, was 426 Georgia girls. The limited facilities ot the Institution compelled the faculty to refuse admis sion to 179 girls becauso ot lack of dormitory room. The Georgian has sold before and docs not hesitate to say again, that no Institution In the 8outh or In the country surpasses In merit or quality or spirit of Its work, tho school which tho state maintains for Its young women at Mllledgevllle. As an evidence of tho profound Impression which the methods and merits of this school have made updn educators, we append a latter from Mr. 8. C. Mitchell, chairman ot the executive committee of the Georgia educational board, one of the highest authorities upon education In the United States. The letter will bo intereating reading to those who ate watching tho growth ot our Georgia' systems and Institutions: To the Editor of The Georgian; It was uiy privilege to attend on June 2, the commencement of the Georgia Normal and Industry College at Mllledgevllle, and I deslro to express by appreciation of the splendid work which Is thore In progress. President M. M. Parks has admirably grasped the relation of education to tho progressive tendencies of the South, nnd he bos shown himself a master In dove-tailing educa tion Into life. That noble school stands for democracy and Indus trialism ns well ns culture. Work seems to be the genius of the place. The faculty, composed of able men and women, were har monious and united In the supreme purpose to make every dollar Invested In that Institution yield Its utmost benefit to the state of Georgia. The students were earnest, enthusiastic, capable. Even In so brief a visit, I received from the student meetings somo of the strongest Impulses of my life. It Is Indicative of a new day for the South that a quiet and cultured community like Mllledgevllle, with all of Its rich historlo traditions, is made a seat of learning In all that Is practical and high In modern life. The spirit of the school was to mo emblemlted by the solidity of tho executive mansion, which Is a typo ot the substantial manner In which our fathers bullded In those early days. The new Industrial building Is a gem of architecture. The beauty of tbls building will chasten the taste and elevate the Ideals ot every young woman who looks dally upon it. I can hardly believe that such a building, so modem In equipment and ao admirable in arrangement, was put np at such small cost. It la Indeed a monument to the care, taste and efficiency of the president and the committee associated with him In Ita erection. The new dormitory, whose corner stono was laid on that occa sion. Is likewise comely and much needed. The progress of the In stitution Is happily marked by the fact that at thla commence ment It dedicated one exquisite building and laid the comer stone of another. The Georgia Normal and Industrial College excited within me so many points of contrast and delight that I find It exceeding ly difficult to give any adequate expression to them. In my opin ion there Is simply no limit to the Influences which President Parks Is wielding In his admirable management of that Institu tion. It filled me with new confidence In our future.. I shall watch with keenest interest the development of all his plana MITCHELL, Chairman Executive CommitteaTCducattonal Board. Richmond College, Richmond, Vo. .
