X Co-Education as Debated by Shorter College Girls Brings out Some Unique '
Arguments. w
Friday afternoon the Poymnian so
ciety of Shorter college held a most
interesting debate on co-education in
the study hall, before the assembled
school and a few visitors. The discus
sion was by far the most unique,origi
nal and sensible disquisition of the
subject ever yet presented.
The arguments on both sides were
thoroughly convincing though the
negative won and when the decision
was announced there was rapturous
applause from the congregated school
girls which goes to say that Shorter
is opposed to co-education.
The judges selected by Dr. A. J.
Battle were Mrs. C. Rowell, Mrs. Hice
Howell and Mr. Junius Hillyer. Mr
Hillyer stated in a neat little talk that
all of the papers were so fine and that
the arguments on both sides so con
vincing that it was by the*‘merest
thread of a difference” that they were
enabled to arrive at a conclusion.
He said that the papers read had
■covered every step of the ground and
that all the arguments, pro and con,
had been answered and that they
would at first glance seemed to have
emanated from wise and old brains
and that it was almost incredible to
believe that young school girls had
prepared them.
Mr. Hillyer was very graceful and
just in his remarks, yet all the same
it went without saying that the argu
ment against co education now the
hour.
Yet in justice to young womanhood
it must be stated that they all favored
higher education for women.
Some of the arguments advanced
wese pithy, sircastic, witty and wise,
and the publication thereof would
make spicy reading.
One girl against co-education said:
“You can’t tell by looking at a gin
whether sbe will flirt or not —most
any of them will flirt if they have a
good chance; and is the state going
to say this lady is a flirt, she can’t go
to the University? No, the state can’t
tell either, and will have to suffer the
consequences. ’ ’
Then another on the other side said,
“co-education is obliged to come because
the women have said, so, and they are
praying for that end.” That is the most
convincing ai gument I have yet heard
—lt is a dangerous time when a whole
lot of women go to praying for the
same thing.
Still another fair one declared that
Southern women were queens. Sbe said
what good will it do us to imitate our
Northern society let me tell you—you
had better hold on to a good thing when
you have it. Those women at the North
stand up in street cars, and our South
ern men are very accommodating, and
if we wish to stand up and turn half
man they will let us be assured. Then
again when you mix with men too much,
and you are lowered from your high
throne of ideality and he too is lowered.
The woman loses and the man loses.
Both sexes are diverted from their
natural bent. Did you know that
you could plant pop-corn and com
mon field corn in the same row and
when the tender stalks shot into life
a plant would come neither the one
nor the other?
The pursuit of
| money tempts many a
W man to neglect his
JBII health, with the result
|| that he soon loses both
money and health, and
|| finds himself doomed
' to an untimely death,
man should remember when
is tempted to over-work him
s, neglect his health, and de
’W vote insufficient time to eating,
resting, and sleeping, that death is the
tempter that holds out money as a bait. If
a man will take proper care of his health, he
will feel like work, and will find that he can
do all the work that he cares to do within
working hours.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
gets a man into working shape and keeps
him there. It invigorates the liver, keeps
the digestion in working order, the appe
tite hearty and keen. It keeps the blood
pure and plentiful. It keeps out and drives
out impurities and disease-germs. It wards
off nervous and wasting diseases. It cures
08 per cent, of all cases of consumption. It
is the product of the life-work of an emi
nent and skil'ful specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce,
for thirty years chief consulting physician
to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Druggists sell it
Mrs. L F. Coates, of Blythebourne, Kings Co.,
N. Y., writes: “Three years ago, I was so sick I
could not eat. sleep or walk, for I coughed all day
and night. My weight was reduced from 150 to
127 pounds. The first night that I slept for hours
at one time, was after I had taken three doses of
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med.ical Discovery. The of
fensive matter expectorated grew less every day
and when I had taken the whole of one bottle I
could sleep all night without coughing, and have
been well ever lince and weigh 178 pounds."
A good, practical, medical book is worth
more in a home tjian a thousand novels.
Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser
is that kind of a book. It contains 1.008
papes and over 300 illustrations. A new
edition given away absolutely free. If you
want a paper-covered copy send 21 one-cent
stamps (the cost of mailing only), to World’s

In reply to this it w’is stated that
woman’s mind was the equal of mao’s
and that Chancellor Bogus today
had a niece occupying a chair in the
Harvard annex. If the state could
give to the boys it could give to the
girls, and that a good woman is al
ways good, she is her own guardian
and her inmate modesty and the
knowledge that two or three hundred
eyes bear espionage over her conduct
is sufficient to guide her Into safe
channels.
On the other side our young lady
vowed that she would not “go any
where that she was not wanted; said
the legislature did not want us and
the boys at Athene did not and that
was enough.”
Another spoke of those who wished
woman only to be tied to a dish-pan and
be entirely ignorant of Scandinavian
literature and higher education. She
said, “if I am not tied to a dish-pan how
am I to wash the dishes, and dish wash
ing will be of more event in «after life
than Scandinavian literature.”
Lastly one said this quoting, from one
“a man with high erected thoughts seat
ed in a heart of courtesy” who thus solves
the problem “No womanly woman should
go to the University. Not that she is not
good enough, but that she is too good.”
Chivalry is nut yet dead. With all the
evening was a happy one at the “pride
of Rome,” and Dr. Battle has put another
leaf in its laurel. ♦

the Penates were the gods who at
tended to the welfare and prosperity

FOR STATE BANKS.
Bill of Hon. Martin Calvin Before the
Georgia Legislature.
Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Richmond,
has introduced a bill iu the House pro
viding for the issuance of circulating
notes by State banks, in an amount
equal to 75 per cent, of the paid-up un
impaired capital stock, with the proviso
that all notes so issued shall become a
first lien on the entire assets of the
bank, etc. Additional security is pro
vided by imposing liability upon the
stockholders to the amount of the face
value of their shares. Referring to his
bill, and to the practicability of the
plan which be outlines, Mr. Calvin says:
“The proposition to issue circulating
notes without requiring the deposit of
bonds may seem at first blush to be un
wise; but a first lien upon the entire as
sets of a bank is better security than
bonds. Under the law now of force, the
bank examiner’s duty is to seetbat each
bank shall write off all assets that are
not live. Take the banks as they appear
in the Treasurer’s annual report: The
capital stock of State banks was $9,250,-
000 iu round numbers. Seventy five per
cent, of this would give circulating
notes to the amount of $6,937,500. The
treasurer’s report shows that the assets
amount to $31,322,152-say $30,000,000
—so that, independent of the liability of
shareholder, there would be the most
ample protection for the people in the
matter of the circulating notes.
“The bill contemplates the immediate
issuance of these notes—that is, without
unnecessary delay; that any bank ac
cepting the provisions of the act shall
pay the federal ten per cent, tax under
protest, and the president of the bank
shall at once acquaint the governor with
the facts; whereupon the governor shall
instruct and require the attorney gen
eral immediately to take the legal steps
necessary to bring the question of the
constitutionality of the act levying the
ten par cent, tax before the Supreme
Court ot the United States.
“Thia is a summary plan for getting
rid of that iniquitous tax. Congress has
not the courage to repeal the act. With
State banks of issue freed from that tax,
Georgia would soon be on the high
road to prosperity. ”
