reason why they cannot he so operated

face In tbit direction NOW.
The Home of St. Elmo.
It Is good to know that Mobile still
retains that delicate sentiment, once
so prevailing In the South, which
prompts the preservation of the home
of Augusta Evan. Wilson against the
onward sweep of commercialism which
Is Invading our provinciality. What
though the forty-acre lot that once
comprised the grounds of the home
stead lie split up by the purchasing
corporation and sold to nouveau*
riches seeking the environment of a
once literary atmosphere, still the old
home, where wero written 8L Elmo,
Macarla, Yashtl, lteulah Infellco, At
the Mercy of Tiberius, and Inez will
stand In all Its pristine glory of the
antebellum days.
In his suspicion, - born of distrust of
the aforesaid sweep of commercial
ism, one la inclined to the belief that
the preservation of “Ashland" is mere
ly a scheme to enhan'eo the Intrinsic
■•value of those other lots. But as to
'that, little signifies.
It ts enough to know that “Ash
land" Is to stand against the ruthless
Invader, Progress.
Rut, when you come to think of It,
Augusta Evans Wilson needs no mon
ument of stone or brass; needs no
galjery of antiquities.
Who baa not wept with Edna Karl;
felt the most poignant of -grief* at the
hopeless love of Mr. Manulng—that
unbelievably kind editor (would there
were some today like him!); trembled
when the dark, dare-devil, demoniacal,
yef darllngly-dear St. Elmo thundered,
and loved hint when Edna found out
the loved him, too (which one knew
all the time); and mentally hissed at
that blond adventuress (Ehen fau-
gaces! one forgets her name)? And
who, having done all those things, can
ever forget the creator of such won
derful people?
Real people, they were—and are.
Sot mere puppets, like the swagger
ing travesties on manhood and wo
manhood to lie found In the output
of the Indiana School of Fiction. Real
people they wore, though they did use
marvelously classic diction, abounding
In far-llung mythological references,
quotations from Voltaire and Dante
and Tasso and the Talmud and the
Koran, and naive allusions to pre-hit-
torlc history—all of which we used
breathlessly to skip In our mad pursuit
of the plot—real people they were
and are, despite their.marvelous pul
chritude, their marvelous learning and
theirmarvelous riches. Why they were
as real as Robinson Crusoe, or Sir Wil
liam Wallace, or John Halifax or the
Sluggard Knight or even the Deer-
slaver!
They lived and moved ami hud their
being for us of the weeping eyes.
Augusta Evans Wilson needs no
monument of stone or brass; ueeds no
gallery of antiquities, to preserve her
memory.
For, as long us there.are Southern
children and Southern mothers, she
will live In the hearts of those who
have loved and later laughed at St.
Elmo—a lender, reverential laugh of
reminiscence, no! a laugh of mirth or
ridicule.
EQUALIZING EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.
Perhaps the best thing about sitting at the editorial desk of great
dally newspaper Is the privilege It affords one "to cOme Into direct con-
. tact with the thought of the people—people beyond the orbit of one's per
sonal existence, but nevertheless bis neighbors, who are struggling with
the same problems that beset him and who are soldiers in-the common
cause of building up'home, state and country.
It has always been a matter of pride with The Georgian that It re
ceives In each mail a great number of letters from the people, letter* giv
ing the views pf the commonalty and Die, natural aristocracy on matters
pertinent to politics, society , anti j-ejigton. * • .
Some of these letters are, ru^e, Some are'expressions of extreme bias,
some' arfe illogical or unjust.v'biR?lhe greater part of thein, . Is-
made up nf h- h., pane and often Inspiring icotniuein and argp
menl.' 'Thraf letters are valuable to, aiiy snel<-m of public (pies
tlorts, T hey t)fieri give ney*, pr-pipo^tlve on niiHterp, they bften QohtSmi'
, new Ideas, expression op wlfleh .wlll^eai\ to marked)Improvements In Con
ditions of life. In the value of these letters lies the raison d’etre'of'our'
“People's Forum,” a feature of The' Georgian that has undoubtedly ac
complished much In the way of educating Its readers to a more thorough
understanding of questions, local, domestic and national.
All of this Is In passing, though we have often wished for the opitortu-
nlty. of saying It V
-Qut.of-the-mHlI of today comes a-communlest-ton,-hearing on a.most,
pertinent topic of the time, written In suoh refreshingly clear and beauti
ful.style that we shall use dt as an editorial. It need only be said that
The Georgian Indorses everjf’word of It:
Editor Georgian:
yot lone ago l was talking with a group of friends about the evi
dent culture tintl refinement of certain people of our acquaintance and
the remark was made by some one that they had sprung from very .
iioor and humble parents, and that all the educational advantages they
had were obtained In the city schools. I made the remark that with
shell living Illustrations of their immense cultural value before us
cpnstpntly,' every,eltizqn ought to be an ardent advocate of the'Im
provement and eXtdbslOa of ouf system of free common - schools. ■ - -
lady- -remarked, that when she saw such results . from the conimouL-
school system she did not blame poor people from forsaking the coun
try and moving to town, nod that If she were In such clrcumstaliceH
she would seek out the very largest town within reach where her
children could have the very, best ddficatlonal facilities possible. And
when we think about It a little so say we all.
One of the serious problems of the South today Is the forsaking of
the farms by the poorest classes of our farmers, the reduction of the
vastly Important forces of production, nnd the filling up of our towns
with non-producers to eke out a precarious existence in an environ
ment for which they nre poorly adapted. One of the chief causes
for this movement Is the very natural desire of the poor farmer to
give his children better, educational advantages than he, can obtain
for them In the country.
The country schools of the South, and the North, too,. for that
matter, are notoriously Inferior In every way to those of the towns.
To allow this condition to continue to exist Is neither just nor wise.
If It continues many more decades our countrysides wilt be depopu
lated of small white farmers and our agricultural Interests will be
abandoned to non-efficient negro farmers whoBe products will be in
ferior both In quantity nnd quality to those of the better class of white
farmers. What we need more than anything else In the South Is to
increase the number of white land owners living upon and operating
directly their own small farms. This condition can never bo attain
ed while the educational facilities of the country places remains as
they are.
It is the part of Justice as well as of sound political economy to
Improve at once the country common schools.
1. Let thblr number be increased, let better buildings lie con
structed. let the teachers lie better paid, ami see to it that they are
more competent for their duties.
2. I,et the system that Is meeting with marked success In the
North of combining several district country schools into one high
class, central graded school, with free transportation of the more dis
tant pupils to and from the school, be tiled In the South. ,
3. Let there be established In every country town, In connection
with the city schools If desired, n country high school. Let dormito
ries be built for the accommodation of both male and female pupils
whllo attending thereon. Let the state furnish not only free tuition,
but free board as well to every farmer's son and daughter who de
sires those advantages which cannot be obtained at home. Let free
Isiard be given to every pupil lest the poor refuse to take advantage
of the opportunities afforded through fear of being classed gs pau
per*.
These are things which mny be doue and ought to be In order to
equalize school advantages as between country and town. I am a
resident of a largo town where we hnvo the very best common school
facilities and I want these blessings brought within the reach of the
poorest farmers' sous and daughters, that the family may be encour
aged to remain on the farm where they are so much needed.-

It is not the purpose of The Geor

the chnrge against Caruso. That
seems to be a matter hardly suitable
to comment. But there Is 5ne phase
of the esse that calls for expression.
The argument has been made on
mauy sides In’ New York that when
Mrs. Graham, the woman said, to have
been Insulted by Caruso, failed to ap
pear In court lo testify against the ten

missed. So fnlr a paper as The New

begs to dissent.
It Is a matter repugnant to any
woman of womanly qualities to have
to subject herself to soy such public
ity and notoriety us nppeuring In court
in such a case as thlB would entail.
It would be greater punishment to her;
Innocent, than any ordinary sentence
would be to an offeuder.
It was wholly natural for Mrs. Gra
ham to leave New York city and re
fuse to appear against Caruso, and
tho fact that she did flee should not |
be regarded us evidence that he Is In

Here Is un extract from nn “hourly

Instead of consulting your hourly guide
every ten seconds of the day, take a half
hour and sit alone with God nnd your owu
soul, and think of the words. love, truat,
peace, good will, sereulty, usefulness, opu

the Pickering and her prize had been half
