EDUCATION A8 a social factor.
probably never before In the hletory
of Georgia has there been a keener In
terest throughout the state In the ques
,lon of education.
The campaign of Mr. Smith has
( nakenrd people to the consciousness
of the tremendous else and Importance
of our Illiterate vote, which Is over 20
por cent of the total white vote In
twelve of the counties of Georgia and
over 5d per cent of the total negro vote
the state.
The recent race riots and the hideous
outbreaks of crime among certain ne-
. groes has made the question of negro
(duration one of the utmost Impor
tance. We must know whether the
odurated or the Illiterate negro Is con
tributing the greater percentage of
crime and what are the results of such
(duration as has been already given
him. No proposition more worthy of
consideration has come recently to tho
people of our state than that made al
most simultaneously by Dr. Stirling and
Mr. Walter Cooper, a proposition to
establish a commission or nuthorlsed
body for the scientific study of the ne
gro problem, and, no question to be
Investigated by such a body can bo of
much greater Importance than that of
the social betterment or Injury from
educating tho negro.
Again, public Interest Itp education
has heen quickened by the recent cam
paign for child labor laws and the
consequent directing of public Interest
to the welfare of our children. In many
rays they are still to bo protected; In
many nay* still developed. While the
children In the largo cities of Georgia
tiand lowest of all the white children In
the United States In point of Illiteracy,
while the native-born white children
of Augusta are more Illiterate than
the native white children of any other
large city In the United States, and the
native white children of Atlanta fourth
lowest In Illiteracy, we can not con
gratulate ourselves that the fight for
the children has yet been won.
These conditions and the Increasing
prosperity of Georgia bring vividly be
fore us the feasibility of compulsory
(duration laws. Such laws have been
already adopted by four-fifths of the
states of the Union. Three of the
former slave-holding states, burdened
though they are with negroes, have
found It possible to enact laws com
pelling school attendance throughout
the state; three others have laws lim
ited to certain counties or cities.
With these Incentives to Interest. It
may not he nmlas to consider briefly
certain ways In which education proves
Its value ns a social factor. This value
may not be measurable directly In dol
lars and cents, but the real wealth of
a nation consjsts not In Its manufnc-1
turfs or things produced, but In the
who men produce them. Its monetary
wealth will be obviously conditioned
upon their powers, physical, mental and
moral.
The limits to, mental development
when education Is denied arc obvious.
The Illiterate Is practically devoid of
Imagination. Except for the abortive
Imagination shown in superstition, he
•hows little evidence of It and faces
life with n herd literalness and with
none of the transmuting power be
queathed to all who read by men of
lenlus. observation and reason are
shown In some degree even by animals,
«nd he who has no Imagination and
none of tho finer sympathy that It
brings is indeed little better than
brother to the ox." Seeing In a dull,
uncomprehending way, reasoning on
little Information and most Inaccurate
ly, the Illiterate Is mentally centuries
behind the highest of his race and a
drug a thousand-fold greater than attv
Physical circumstance can be upon Its
progress.
Even physically, the Illiterate Is apt
to carry a mark of Inferiority. Limited
to purely manual labor, he goes through
the wretched circle of low wages, poor
surroundings, disease nnd accident.
Morally, too, he la hampered by his
aa. Goaded by the keenest pressure
for existence, untrained to reason as
to right and wrong, with a smoldering
«n*e Of Inferiority, he drifts easily'

against illiteracy. McDonald. one of
the greatest criminal experts in Amer-
ica, maintains that “In Intelligence the
criminal Is far below the average."
S£*gr A h,n "Force et Matlere,"
eays that the three great causes of
crime are defect of Intelligence, want
or education and poverty. In his study
Abnormal Man," made for the United
8tates government, McDonald shows
conclusively by statistics that while In
Italy, Germany and Prance both edu
cation and crime had Increased In pro
portion to the population, yet in Aus^
N ,? rway . « nd «weden, England.
Australia and Japan ns education has
become more general crime has per
ceptibly decreased. In Wuertemberg,
inhere no one over ten was reported as
unsble to read or write, there had been
a decided decrease In crime.
In his report for 1898-99, the United
State commissioner of education gives
a most interesting table showing how
many times as many prisoners 100,000
Illiterates furnish as an equal number
of literates, basing It on the United
States census of 1890. This table
shows that the Illiterates furnish 2.5
m an 7* prl8oner *. a * an equal number
of literates, taking the United States as
a whole, in the north Atlantic divis
ion the proportion Is 2.3; In the south
Atlantic division (this includes Geor
gia) it is 3.1; In the south central di
vision, 2.0; v in the north central divis
ion. 2.4; In the Western division, 2.0.
That is, In every case Illiterates furnish
over twice as many prisoners os an
equal number of literates.
It Is Interesting to compare the pro
portion of colored prisoners In these
same divisions. For the United States
as a whole, 100,000 Illiterate negroes
furnish 1.2 timer as many prisoners as
100,000 literate negroes.
in the north Atlantic division, the
proportion Is 1.4; In the south Atlantic
(and thlsdiicudes Georgia), It is 1.3; In
the south central, It Is 1.6; In the north
central, 1.0; in the western division,
1.0. 0
As the 4reat mass of negro popula
tion In the United States falls In the
south Atlantic and the south central
divisions, it may fairly he argued that
even In their case Illiteracy seems to
have some bearing on criminal tend
ency. In no division do literates fur
nish anything like the same proportion
tho negroes of the north central am
western divisions. As the negroes In
these two divisions furnish a very
small per cent of the total* population,
and as the total number of colored
prisoners in the north central and
western. divisions Is a little less than
3,600, the basis of comparison In these
two divisions Is too small to be of
great Importance as In the two Rout
ern ones, where the Illiterates surpass
the literates In their tendency to crime.
Dugdale puts It rather crudely but
forcibly when he says, “Public health
and Infant education, conforming In
general plan to Froebel's Kindergar
ten school, arc the two legs upon which
the general morality of the future must
travel." Other criminal experts agree
fully as to the Importance of education
as a preventive or crime. Draehms, In
"The Criminal,” says: “The proper
care and education of the children of
the dependent classes and the very
poor, and the enactment of compulsory
educational laws, free kindergartens,
and Industrial schools, with provision
for temporary feeding and clothing,
necessary school books for the Indigent
poor, taking away such children from
their vicious surroundings, and placing
them under public control or with fam
ilies under legal guardianship or prop
er apprenticeship, would do much
toward reaching the sources of Incip
ient crime and effectively checking It
In the bud. This Is the only true and
radical theory of Incipient criminal
prevention and Is better than attempt
ed cure at the chronic or prison stage
of the disease."
i’ominenting on the high percentage
of Illiteracy In Georgia In connection
with the recent troubles here, Major
Mct’lnughry, deputy warden of the
Federal prison, writes me: "We
should not have needed to Increase the
city and county police forces If our
people had been Induced to relieve
these conditions (the great Illiteracy)
earlier."
Victor Hugo said that he who opens
a school closes a prison, and there is a
vast amount of truth In that statement
—a truth to which the people of Geor
gla may well give heed.

Into Inactivity by ambitious Intentions
of accomplishing some great and
praise-winning task which our Imagin
ation’s picture In the far future. We
are Constantly overlooking the possi
ble, right at our hands, in our fas
cinated contemplation of the Impossi
ble, the pleasing phantom which looms
so large on the distant horizon. This
contempt for the small and desire for
the large, Is common, ex
cessful men. In all phases
Indolent man Is going to become In
dustrious when he finds work worthy
of his time; the poor man will become
provident nnd begin to save when he
earns a sum worth saving; the church
man will turn his attention to the des
tltute In his own City, after those of
the opposite side of the earth are cared
for; the landlord will improve the mis
erable 15 per cent bearing hovels of
his tenants when all other landlords
have done so; the capitalist will In
crease the wage of his employees when
he has accumulated sufficient millions
to Justify it; the Hocial student will be
gin his work when he has mastered
all the science of sociology; and ao It
goes.
In our efforts for social Improvement
let us, overcoming this procrastinating
spirit, see what we can do right now
and begin the work Immediately, rather
than postpone all efforts until we can
accomplish our whole Ideal. Let us
consider a social need which we can
meet In the very present, without study
or preparation. Of course I do not
mean that the study of sociology should
be neglected; on the contrary. I consid
er it one of the first duties of citizen
ship, but I wish to emphasize the
smaller and ever present duties, which
do not require study nnd research for
successful accomplishment.
One of the greatest social needs of
today Is sympathy, that which Is so
rare, costs so little to bestow and yet
Is so effective. It Is within the power
of the rich and the poor of us to give
nnd It Enriches our natures and en
courages and helps the recipient as
nothing else will. All worthy sufferers
will not accept mere pecuniary aid, but
every one welcomes true sympathy.
The word sympathy In Its etymological
sense—a suffering with—has ever been
a favorite word with me. It expresses
the fundamental Idea of sociology and

practice it we shall not succeed In our

efforts for social amelioration. In sym
pathising with others, we are not re
moving their pain* or relieving them of
all effort In their own behalf, but we
are "suffering with 1 * them, putting our
selves In such close touch with them
that their pains are ours, too, and wo
desire their relief or uplift a* we de
sire our own'.
Sympathy must precede till reform.
Until the misfortunes or wrongs of oth
ers effect, us to the suffering point, we
remain complaisant and Inactive. Not
until Mrs. Browning nnd others awak
ened sympathy In the hearts of Eng
lishmen for the poor factory children
did reform come, and we may rent as
sured that not until sympathy for our
unfortunate juvenile criminals becomes
more general can we expect the aboli
tion of our present barbarous and In-
effectlvs punitive system add the adop
tion of the reformatory method of the
treatment of criminals. Sympathy and
co-operation are the rules by which we
are to solve our social problems and we
must hasten their propagation. Fear,
vlolenre. Intimidation, oppression and
repression have all been tried and
found to furnish only temporary relief
nnd to create a spirit of hate, distrust
and revenge, which will require gener
ations to be removed. On the other
hand, wherever one has gone In true
sympathy and love, he has discovered
In the object of hla solicitude an un
expected Rwnkenlng and response to
this expression of friendly Interest.
We can not hope to eucreed In our
work with n class different from our
selves If we constantly assume the at
titude of superiority and condescension.
We must feel that kinship which exist*
between nil human beings and be keen
ly sensitive to the sufferings and sor
rows of those whom we would help.
•The wonderful success of missionaries
In their difficult work among heathen
peoples Is largely due to their breadth
of sympathy and their consequent wil
lingness to come Into close social con
tact with those whom they deelre to
elevate. There Is so much for us to do
along this line In'rtvur dally life. We
nre constantly coming Into touch with
men whom we could encourage to n
higher plane of living by simple kind
ness and unostentatious sympathy In
our ordinary denllngs with them. Con
stant courtesy abd consideration to
ward all on our part will soon teach
the lessons of respect for the rights
of others, so needed In our day, nnd by
thnt most effective teacher—example.
Let us not be so gealous for our own
supposed rights, voguely defined In our
minds as the right to the best, and be
more eager for the preservation of the
rights of society a» a whole. We can
not hope to receive from those whose
sole means of culture Is contact with
ourselves, a higher degree of courtesy
and consideration than we show to
word them.
When we stop to think how small are
the opportunities of the great mass of
the people and how reetrlcted Is their
life, and then of the further fact that
we, who could give so much, rarely
attempt to help our less fortunate
brothers In a social and personal way,
hut too often trent them with con
tempt. perhaps unconscious, the won
der Is that they have attained even to
their present standard. We. must
break the crust of»soclal pride and
prejudice nnd expose the sensitive part
of our natures to the Injustice, wrongs
and sorrows of thp unfortunate ao that
we may know their needs and suffer
with them In their struggles; then we
shall know how to help them and be
eager to do so. '

ATLANTA WOMAN'S SUCCESS
IN THE INSURANCE FIELD
Writing life Insurance la a business
of which many men have made a fine
success financially and aa a profession.
Few women enter Its ranks, however,
and of these only the most tactful and
energetic succeed. Atlanta boasts one
woman who has made & conspicuous
record In this line. Miss Carrie Klrtley,
manager of the women's department of
the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, of - Which Bagley & Wtllet are
managers. Bpeaking of her profes
sion as. a vocation for women, Miss
Klrtley says. In a recent article writ
ten specially for The Insurance Field:
"None but the womnn who has her
self well In hand can become a suc
cess In Insurance work and she wards
off poaslbls blows Instead of returning
them, though when a blow Js dealt she
la not afraid to hit back, If It Is worth
while.
"She who Is willing to foster and ad
vance any new work for women must
so feet,the courage of her convictions
that ahe will aay, 'I can help the In
vestment by adding my quota or
can compile statistics by my own vigi
lance.'
"Insurance for women aa protection
and Investment has proven Its benefi
cence In inatances-enough for the work
to be a profession and the field an open
one notwithstanding the mariy cautious
admonitions of delay from men.
“Now, from the standpoint of the
enemy: Opposition always makes the
advocates of a cause one knows to be
right to work harder nnd to fight with
more care. While we know the loyalty
of lime. It Is trying to wait In silence
for the vindication of our theories.
"There are many more peculiar
phases to be met, but much good to
both the buyer and seller will come by
holding firmly to this truth: The In
vesting or commercial Instinct grow
ing In woman has Its quick root In the
natural craving for Investing avenues.
Insuranco Is an attractive avenue when
one with heart and eoul In the pro
fession of soliciting presents It."
ATLANTA MEN ARE GIVEN
BIG SOUTHERN TERRITOR Y
The Jefferson Fire Insurance Com
pany. of Philadelphia, which has been
represented by Major J. T. Dargan,
of Atlanta, as general agent', and has
been doing p email business In the
South, has decided to adopt an ogrea-
alve policy from now on, and to that
end has made general agency arrange
ments with Robert N. Hughs and M. B.
Tates, both well-known underwriters
of this city, for the states of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas. The company la
now entered In all of these etates ex

menced operations In 1*96, and was
not doing business on the Pacific coast.
This arrangement will be effective No

building. They are young men, but
have been associated with the business
for many years and nre very popular
with local agents, as well as the man
agers nnd field men In the Southern
states, and with their well-known abil
ity should make a team that will soon
become a factor In the business nnd
