Panama Canal Shows Growth
Tlu> I’ll Mama Canal Zone, ith hls-
tory and place in world progress,
was discussed In the talk to the
International Relations club nt Its
irgulnr bi-monthly meeting Thursday
night by John B. Hill, Columbus,
vlre-presldent of the organization.
Heglnnfng with the early discov
erers of Panama, Mr. Hill traced the
history of the country to its present
status as an Independent nation un
der the protectorship of the United
States. Panama was declared a re
public In 1903, and was recognized
by the United States.
The llay-lturnu-Varilla treaty be
tween the United Stutes and Pan
ama gave the canal rights to this
country after the French govern
ment had failed to succeed In Its
cUempt to build a sea-level canal,
which cost the French people $250,-
000,000. Ferdinand de Lesseps,
builder of the Suez Canal, was the
engineer. The French rights and
property were purchased by the
United States for $10,000,000.
The canal, changed front a sea-
level type to a lock type, was fin
ished, and the first ship passed
through August 3, 1914. The ca->
parity of the canal Is 48 ships per
day. and It Is now taxed to capac
ity. The United Stntes government
pays an annuity of $250,000 to the
Republic of Panama.
RABBI UTSCHEN SPEAKS
ON Y. M. C. A. PROGRAM
Rabbi Joseph Utschen, of the Jew
ish Synagogue oT Athens, spoke ut
the vespers service conducted by
the University Y. M. C. A. Thursday
night In the Academic building on
"How a Jew Looks on Religion.”
“The Jew does not believe In the
Immortality of the body, hut In the
eternity of the soul, and that the
kingdom of God will one day he
established In this world,” stated
Rabbi Utschen. Where people of
other religions believe In the exist
ence of God, the Jew has a certain
Intuitive knowledge of a supreme
being according to the Rabbi.
"The Jew bothers himself very
little about another world, but Is
permeated with the Idea that man
was placed on earth to make this
world a kingdom of God.” the speak
er said. People of other faiths feel
a necessity of having a mediator be
tween themselves and the Almighty,
the speaker pointed out, hence the
positions of Jesus and Mohammed at
the heads of the Christian and Mos
lem religions.
It Is harder to live for one’s re
gion than to die for It. and the
Jews not only died for theirs but
lived a life of torture for It during
the middle nges, and have retained
their traditions and the identity of
their group to the present time, de
clared Mr. Utschen.
Interest In the graduate school
of the University of Georgia con
tinues to manifest Itself, according
to Dr. R. P. Stephens, dean of that
school, who reports that during the
past summer there was a registra
tion of 172 students, an Increase of
50 per cent over the preceding sum
mer.
Two new courses, he states, are of
especial interest because they mark
two new departments in education
in Georgia. These are Commerce
100, a ‘Statistical Study of Economic
Resources with special Reference to
Georgia," and Home Economics 162,
“A Study of Child Development and
Parental Education."
Commerce 100 is conducted by Dr.
Roland M. Harper, Ph. O., Columbia
University. The students are mak
ing a detailed study of the state of
Georgia or parts thereof and are ob
serving the relations between natu
ral resources, on the one hand, such
as soli, topoghaphy, climate and
vegetation and civilization, and by
density of population, racial com
position, age distribution, vital sta
tistics, education, wealth and indus
tries on the other.
Homo Economics 162 deals with
the psychology of the pre-school
child, the care and training of the
young child togethor with observa
tion and study In the nursery school.
This course is given by Miss Pauline
Park and Miss Katherine Shaw, both
specialists in child study.
