The value of training and equipment to our modern educaUonal system has never been better and more hap pily Illustrated than In the case of President M. M. Parks, of the Girls’ Normal and Industrial School at Hllledge- vilie. . The rapid and splendid advancement of this young teacher from the station of an assistant In the Savannah public schools to the honored presidency of the Normal school at Milledgevllle Is a history of the methods which command success. v' Prof. Parks la a graduate of Emory college. Upon Mm graduation day he determined to devote his life and talents to the cause of teaching. Ho planted this de termination upon the purpose to be worthy and well equipped for the work to which he had committed ills life. Carrying high honors from Emory, he went Immediately to the University of Chicago, where In special studli along the lines of English and literature he carried off tho highest honors and commendations of that department in his class. Flom Chicago he went to Harvbrd University, whose professor of English and literature has given him tho most glowing testimonials of faithful study and high attainment - Fran Harvard he went to Europe, where In the schools of the old world he prosecuted these studies* In which he had determined to make himself proficient to tho last degree. Returning to this country Professor Parks devoted himself with singular assiduity and success to the work of teaching In the public schools, and the vacations of this young teacher, spent by so many In enjoyment and In holiday, wpre consecrated by him to study and Improve ment In the summer schools of the University of Chicago and Harvard, and of the great cbautauquas of the country. At tho time when the trustees of the Normal and Industrial College at Milledgevllle called Professor Parks to the acting presidency of that Institution he was, per baps in culture. In attainment and In-experience, the best equipped young man In tho educational life of the state. His connection with the Milledgevllle school has been a triumphant procession of noble and applauded achieve ments. He has lifted the standard of scholarship In that Institution to a higher station than It has ever enjoyed before. He has brought consummato order and harmony out of comparative confusion, and has established at the Milledgevllle school perhaps the most harmonious faculty of working and effective teachers gathered together In any Institution of learning In the state. Ae successful as has been the career of Professor Parks, as a student and a scholar, It has boon even more successful In an administrative capacity as president of ono of the great schools of the state, as a subsequent summary will show. The last Issue of Tom Watson’s Magaslne has a re view of the recent article contributed by Professor Parka to a national educational periodical. In which our great Southern puhllclst and thinker pays tribute to Professor Parks as one of the ablest and most progressive thinkers In tho educational life of the South and the country. And for all else we can commend this tireless teachor to the grateful appreciation of the people of Georgia In the record of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College under his administration during the past year. These are In brief the Items of his achievement:' , First: The college has had the largest attendance In its history, enrolling forty-seven more than last year, and turning away one hundred and thirty for lack of accom modations. Second: It has Installed a new chemical laboratory of fine equipment and baa secured new pianos and the Internal equipment has been Improved. Third: The dormitories have been run at one thou sand dollars below the estimated cost, and each stu dent who had paid in advance was refunded four dollars at the end of the year. Fourth: Several new scholarships have been secured for the Institution, among them a donation of live hun dred dollars from William J. Uryan from the Philo Sher man Bennett fund. * . Fifth: The annual Income of the college has been Increased twenty-one hundred dollars. 8ixth: An appropriation of )25,000 was secured last August from the legislature for the Industrial building, which Is now In course of construction and promises to be one of the most beautiful college buildings In the 8outh, as It certainly will be the heat equipped of them all. Seventh: By diligent correspondence President Parks has secured an offer from Andrew Carnegie of 515,000 for a library building, provided an equal amount Is raised by the friends of the college. Eighth: The commencement just passed Is pro nounced on all sides to be the most brilliant the college has ever kQown In Its history. Ninth: The faculty Is harmonious and enthusiastic, the spirit of the student body la line, and the caliber and adaptability of the teachers Is notable among the Instlu- lions of the state or the South. And there Is good, genuine teaching In that school •very day of the year. Surely a young man. not yet thirty, who has done such a work In the educational rank of the state. Is wor thy of the commendation of the press and of the public, , and of any honor which our educational system can give him. But the uolverslty need not cast a sheep's eye upon ldm during the present summer, for the trustees and the state need him as yc* to complete the splendid work be Is doing at MllledgeviU*. The Humane Society. Our apologies are due and hereby tendered to the At lanta Humane Society for an editorial paragraph which seemed to Ignore the existence of that line and effective organization. The Atlanta Humane Society has been organised since 1873 and was Incorporated In 18B3. Ha officer* aro J. F. Burke, president; John F. Barkley, vice president; Orr- vllle H. Hall, secretary; J. L. Panchen, treasurer; Linton C. Hopkins, counsel, and Dr*. W. E. Carnes and H. G. Carnes, agents. The society has done many good and excellent things for the prevention of cruelty to children and animals, and Its work hoi been done as much by persuasion tnd by moral Influence as by an appeal to the restraining powers of the law. Some Echoes from the Crusade. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. . There are some echoes from the pending crusade against corruption and unlawful combinations of capital which ahould not pass unnoticed. They come from various sections of the country and lend genuine encouragement to the friends and defenders of better methods in the conduct of commercial and In dustrial affairs. It will be remembered that Chancellor Day, of Syra cuse university, made a holy show of himself on Sunday when In the course of his baccalaureate address he took occasion to denounce President Roosovelt and all those who have been criticising and exposing the beef barons and the oil trust. Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, whom Atlantans know and hold in high esteem, was to have delivered the commencement address, but because of the Intem perate terms In which the college official referred to the president, he has cancelled his engagement, and Mr. Day will have to- get along as best he can. On the same day the Interstate Commerce Commis sion announced that the president of the Pennsylvania railroad and other officers high In authority would be Invited to appear before the commission and make any statements they might see fl^ but that there waa to be no “immunity bath" about the matter, and they would have to take the consequences of the lnvektlga- tlon, whatever It might be, regardless of their testimony. And again on the same day It was announced that the Illinois Central railroad, which owns large Interests In coal mines, had taken alarm at the thcrough probing going on In Philadelphia and had decided to get rid of Its holdings. At least they are to be consolidated and placed under a new and Independent management. Nobody sup poses for a moment that the railroad Is really going to part with Its property, but It will trump up a plausible fiction to evade*the law, and all will go well. The only encouragement to be derived from the latter Incident Is the fact that the railroads recognise that the Interstate Commerce Commission means business, and that it Is time for them to flee the wrath to come. It we can but keep them In this wholesome fear arid dread they nmy ultimately become tired of duplicity and evasion and In reality sell out their coal and oil stocks, which will be a long step toward the abolition of rebates, by which Independent shippers aro discriminated agalnat. The heathen may rage as furiously as he likes, but the sentiment of this country Is becoming thoroughly aroused. There Is a deep-seated determination on the part of the people that tome of the abuse* which have been so mercilessly exposed shall be remedied, and there will be no halting until this has been accomplished. A Word to Our Contributors. The Georgian Is .n the accepted sense an open forum of discussion. Our columns are always open to any view, whether consonant or dissonant with our own opinions, provided that view be expressed In courtesy and in decency, and Is not prejudicial to the morals and manners of the times. We destre to Impress upon our correspondents one Importsnt fact. Our columns are always crowded. We leave out nearly aa much news as we publish, we have columns of matter which never get Into print, and consequently our space Ip Immensely valuable to our selves and to our readers. Wo delight to hear from our friends and are always glad to be the medium through which honest men and women express their opinions upon the doings of the gmt world. We must urge, however, upon our correspondents the absolute necessity of brevity. We simply cannot afford to give so much of our space to lengthy communica tions. Elaborate essays should be reserved for the msga- sines, and parties who have facts upon current questions must learn to express them briefly and succinctly. In or der that they may be read, and read In this newspa per. Our good will toward our friends Is large, but our space Is limited, and the bulk of It belongs to our read ers who prefor the news to opinions. We welcome the communications of our friends and we urge them to con tinue the expression of these opinions whenever the spirit moves them, but we present to their Intelligence the faefi that a communication expressed In one-fourth of a col umn, or one-half of a column, would be read by twenty times as many people as a communication expressed In an entire column. So, If you would reach the ear and the attention of the people, write briefly. Write briefly for your own sake, write briefly for our sake, and write briefly for the sake of those who would like to read your opinions and to weigh your views. The Georgian will be compelled hereafter In self protection to decline communications which are not of a reasonable length. A Polar Flight. Within a month or so. If all the arrangements are perfected, Walter Wellman wilt make hla sensational and daring dash for the pole. An especially built airship Is being constructed for tho wild venture and the expedition is being financed by Mr. Lawson, of the Chicago Record-Herald. Leading scientific men are In hearty accord with Mr. Wellman’s plan and project. He will be accompanied by Major Heraey, of the National Geographical Society. / M. Godard, of Parts. Is making tor Mr. Wellman the largest dirigible balloon ever built. The start Is to be made from Spitsbergen and under the most favorable conditions proximity to the pole may be reached In about thirty hours. If the winds are adveree and untoward It may take one hundred and fifty hours to get within balling distance of the long sought region of lee and myitery. The ship will be able to remain tn the air from twelve to twenty days. It will carry five men, food. fuel, motor sledges, repair material and all apparatus and necessary equipment. The expedition Is one that excites Imagination, and the progress of the startling event will be eagerly watch- by the curious world. Many Uvea have been lost, vast sums hart been spent In the endeavor to do'what Mr. Wellman now confidently hopes to accomplish. The airship Is nearing completion and the final de tails are about perfected. With Mr. Wellman, beside Major Herssy, will be Her- vler, the famous French aeronaut; Mr. T. J. Smith, the wireless expert, and M. Paul Colardeau, who Is to engi neer the stately craft. Remembering the mad adventures and fate of those •who have sailed Into the polar region, never to return from tho laud of Ice and perhaps snow, we may now look for, some surprising anc.tragic denouement. The Divine Sarah’s Farewell. The Divine Sarah has left us. She sailed on yesterday for her own sunny France, and It she keeps to the determination expressed when she first arrived she will not give us the opportunity of see ing and hearing her again on this side of the big swim. Her tour of the United States was one of the most remarkable ever’ made by any artist In any country, and the fact that the ancceeded In drawing large crowds whferever she went and In whatever kind of auditorium she might appear was an Impressive tribute to her genius and power of attraction. Tho people who went to witness her performances, such as In Atlanta, for Instance, knew when they went that there was little satisfaction to be derived except* to feel that they were seeing a great artist—that all the charm that comes from magnificent stage set tings and delightful surroundings would be distinctly wanting. But they were willing to pay their money even for thla privilege and It is safe to say that in the mata they were not dlsappolnied. Her tour of Texas was tn a tent. It was like barking back to the early days of the drama when the Thespian wain was at once the palace car and the grand opera house. It was something of a tortolso sort of perform ance—she carried her bouse with her. In some In stances the storms came and the rains beat upon It and there was imminent danger that audience and actors would bo'overwhelmed. but all this.seemed but to give a special plquance to the show and It was not only enjoya ble but actually exciting. / In one Instance her train waa delayed to such an ex tent that she must have missed the performance entirely unless she was willing to begin It at 11 o'clock at night, but this she did, and for three hours she spoke and acted, according to her own account, as she never bad before. There were no intermissions. It was a continuous per formance—perhaps the* only Instance on record of a continuous performance of a play so tense and exhauat- Ing as ’’Camille." This was but one of the many unique fncldents of that remarkable tour, which extended from ocean to ocean and practically took In every city of Importance In the United States. She traveled like a queen and indulged all the whltps and Idlosyncracles for which she Is famous But now it is over and she goes home for a brief rest, after which she will make a tour of Spain. The American public has no very abiding confidence In farewell performances. The call of the almighty dol lar Is strong, and the best laid plans for Retirement some* times go amiss, when the great artists get a twinge of covetousness. So It Is Impossible to ssy whether she will ever come back to us. However this may fie. It cannot be denied that she proved herself once more the great est artist since Rachel and her tour was one of the most remarkable In the history of the stage. AS TO IMMIGRATION. To the Editor of The Georgian: I with pleasure read your able and elaborate editorial of the 5th Inst., on the question of Immigration. You canvassed. the subject pretty thoroughly, but It. In so many sided much remains to be written and spoken. It Is by no means a new question for debate In Georgia. The history of the discussion* had on the subject, re peated efforts on the part of the legis lature successfully to grapple It. the Interest which so many of our people have manifested In It, all unite to show how Important It Is, and with what care It should be handled. Immediately after the war, when chaos reigned almost supreme, when the conditions as to labor seemed to be absolutely beyond control, the public tnlnd turned to Immigration as the only possible remedy. At this date, grave as Is the labor situation, we cannot recall, with any degree of clearness, the serious char acter of labdr conditions from May, 1885, to 1870. Under an act approved December 8, 1888, relief was believed to be obtain able. This act provided for a commis sion house and. land agency to be es tablished In the city of Augusta, under the direction of William Schley, Robert Schley and James Gardner. The Idea waa to negotiate with pos sible Immigrants and sell lands In small acreage or in large bodies. The act of March 8, is;n, which be came a law, without the approval of the governor—Iflve days lapse—pro vided that the legislature In Joint ses sion should elect one domestic and one foreign Immigration commissioner— the former to be paid a salary of 82,- 000; the latter a salary of 88,000. The limit to printing and circulat'd waa Aged at 18,000 a-year. The act carried an appropriation of 810,000.. .... The foreign commissioner was re quired to be abroad not less than one year or more' than three years, adver tising Georgia’s advantages and'send ing Immigrant* direct to the state. The domeetlc commissioner was ex- Meted to exert himself with a view to ndurlng Immigration from the East ern and Western states. Doubts arose In tha public mind, op- KMltlon sprung up. and October 18, .870, the act was repealed. Practically speaking, the act never got Into the xtntute books. It was annulled before It reached the hands of the public printer. But the necessities of the case would not down. They continued to cry aloud for relief. And they are crying aloud today. February 22, 1878, an act waa ap. iroved, Incorporating the Southern .anil and Immigration Company and the Georgia Land and Immigration Company. Among the Incorporators of the first- named company were Herechel V. Johnson (former governor), Martin J. Craw ford. B. F. Lockhart. H. W. King. T. J. Holderness, E. Platt, Charles Mc Calls, M. B. McMahon, John 8. Bet- teas and J. M. Calhoun. Among the Incorporators of the sec ond company were Campbell Wallace, Wade 8. Cothran and W. T- Wofford. Joint resolution waa .passed In March,‘1875, authorising the governor In negotiate with Editor I. Sterne, of The Abend Zeltung, Savannah, with a view to directing attention to the thousands of opportunities and ad vantages held out by Georgia to the energetic and the thrifty among the denlsens of the old world. Under an act approved October 17. 1878, the governor waa authorised to appoint a state land and Immigra tion agent, with headquarters tn the rapltol. This ofilcer, with a high-sounding title, had liberty tn list land for sale and out of fees from that fruitful source compensate himself and pay for circulars, pamphlets and year-booki sent out In the state's Interest. The legislature quietly, but summar ily, repealed that “ample provision" of Immmlgratlun legislation September 28, 1881. Good! After the passage of the repealing act of 1881, nothing along the Immi gration line was attempted till 1884, a hen the Fogarty Mil, which made the commissioner of agriculture ex-ofilcto commissioner of Immigration, was passed. Tho Fogarty bill or law. amended In certain particulars, will be brought before the legislature at the approaching session at the Instance of an Immigration conference recently held In this city under the patronage of the committee on Immigration of the Chamber of Commerce. From first to last, the subject of Im migration has proved to be a subject abounding In dllficultle*. Existing conditions tn Georgia and throughout the South make Immigra tion an exceedingly practical question. It la far more difficult than any of tha questions with which the people's minds or the legislative mind have had to deal. West, the railroad*—rich In land- have done more than all other agencies to Rood that section with a splendid farming population, domestic and for eign. Southern railways could do as much for the South, but Gray have not the nd. Immigration needs to be freely dis cussed, calmly discussed. My own thought Is to Induce clever, thrifty people to come to Georgia from the New England states.

It Is for this reason I have suggested the Idea of first Inducing the farmers to come Into our midst. Again, It a. colony be sought, and that Is an excellent Idea, you must first have an eligibly located, well-watered body of land aX command, divided Into farm* of 60,. 100, 800 more* and so on, to be sold It's reasonable price per acre on reasonable terms.
