THE RED AND BLACK
The Georgian.
Tin Georgian for April made
itn ;i|)pp(inmco lust Saturday. |
It is still got up in its iicut and
attractive style, and the arti
cles contained in this month's
issue are interest. However,
the great iiumlier of typograph
ical errors and incorrect punc
tuation mars what would other
wise be an almost perfect mag
azine in appearance. The me
chanical part of the magazine,
being comparatively easy work,
should he more strictly attend
ed to.
Tin Georgian seems prone to
criticise in its neighbors the
faults one can so easily find in
itself. There are several points
in the April issue that are wor
thy of criticism but there are
also some articles hardly worth
the mentioning. The comment
made upon the Emory I’lumix
that the jokes are not easily un
derstood and also somewhat
forced, applies e<|ttally well to
The Georgian. Also the crici-
cism passed upon the M< rrrriaii’s
poetry, that it contained little
thought and was mechanical,
might he made about the poetry
III The Georgian. Mr. Booth’s
•'Cromwell to the Artist” and
Mr E. It D.'a “Ambition”
form exceptions to this. It
seems strange that the little
verse with the big thought by
■fudge Logan R. Bleckley,
should have been written in
March especially lor The Gear-]
gian when Judge Bleckley quo
ted it in February to the writer
us one of the verses written
when lie was a young man. But
maybe we are betraying edito
rial secrets.
The liest article in the issue is
without doubt Mr. Good-
rieh’s oration, “A Vision of the
South." It is truly a pretty
piece of word-painting.
The article on “Scientific
Farming is very well written,
but not having the advantage of a
B. Ag. course in the I’niversity, ;
we are not prepared to pass
upon the merits of the piece.
Mr Booth's comments upon
Mr. Woodward’s “Timely Ad
dress” are correct. The South
needs the spirit of true educa
tion. Too many men go to col
lege just for the name of the
thing. However, it is but just
to the South to say that she is no
more in the diploma-giving
business than is the North.
The lighter articles of the
magazine appear to preponder
ate to too great an extent over
the solid matter. The best of
thes,- lighter articles are "Shani-
tuah’s Cross and Passion” and
“A Story of the American-Boer
War. The former is a strong
story in which, however, the ac
tion is not sustained throughout
ami which needs polish here
and there. The latter is an airy
nothing told in a pleasing way.
The second of the letters from
the branch college* i* presented
in Miss Reid’s communication
from the Girl’s Normal and in
dustrial College at Milledge-
ville. This idea of The Geor
gian’s is proving a very popular
one.
The Red and Black would
suggest to The Georgian that the
joke department is too long in
comparison to the editorial.
This injures the dignity of the
magazine, which is a thing to
be carefully preserved.
Altogether, this issue of The
Georgian is a very creditable one
and compares very favorably
with that of other college mag
azines. May she continue to
prosper is the wish of The Red
and Black.

The l^exington (fame.
Last Saturdey the ’Varsity
defeated by a score of 13 to 7 a
team which was collected from
various sources but which
passed under the name of Lex
ington. John Knox brought
over for a pitcher a left-handed
wonder, “captured in the wilds
of Lexington.” But the hoys
pounded this left-hander at their
will, ran bases at pleasure, and
scored thirteen times.
The ’Varsity fixed itself in
the hearts of the spectators.
Hulsey showed what he could
Ido in the way of pitching; the
fielding of the team was fast
and nearly perfect ; the base
running allowed great improve
ment ; and the batting of tin*
hoys was fine. Blackshear's
batting and Walker’s fielding
were features.
Such practice games are of
great benefit to the ’Varsity,
and we hope John Knox will
bring his men over again. But
we do think the people of Ath
ens deserve enough at the hands
of tlu> students to have the ad
mission of such games placed at
at less than twenty-five cents,
