STAY IN GEORGIA
They tell us that North Caro
lina is a mighty progressive
estate; that she’s leading the
South in many ways, says the
Winder News.
People are moving to Florida
and they tell us things are
humping down that way.
No doubt those who are seek
ing the pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow are ready to tell
us big tales about South Caro
lina, Tennessee and Alabama, but
we are perfectly willing to stay
in Georgia and work out our sal
vation here with labor and econ
omy.
Georgia is a great state, great
in soil and climate and time will
prove that there is no better
place in which to live than right
here in Georgia.
The speculation that is going
on in Florida is going to bring
poverty and distress.
In a short time the tide will
turn back to this good old state
of ours and those who remained
at home and worked and econo
mized are going to be the fortu
nate ones.
KEEPING 4YOUNG MINDS
CLEAN
•There will be general approval
of the official raid which was
Hade upon the I. W. W. in Cali
fornia, for the seizure and de
struction of a lot of pernicious
literature which was to be sur
reptiously distributed in the pub
blic schools, for the purposes of
poisoning young minds with mis
representations of their own gov
ernment and their own country’s
history.
It is an evil thing to teach
children falsehoods, and to per
suade them to think poorly of
their fatherland and its found
ers, says the Wahsington Post.
Not long ago, however, a much
touted “historian *» produced a
work which was openly and very,
widely sold as a children’s his
tory of America, in which it was
taught that fifty years elapsed
between the French and Indian
■War and......the Revolution; that
one of the chief causes of the
Revolution was the British gov
ernment’s interference with the
wholesale smuggling which the
colonists were committing; that
the founders of this nation were
"people with the souls of flun
keya,” and that Washington and
his soldiers were such poor stuff
that “when a rainstorm came up,
a battle was usually called off,
and the contestants were given
rain checks.”
On the whole, we should say
that such stuff, with its deliberate
perversions of fact and its sneers
at the patriots of the Revolu
tion, was calculated to do more
harm to the minds of the young
than anything emanating from
the L W. W.
Yet its author was rewarded by
being made the recipient of the
flrat medal of honor bestowed by
the Children’s Librarians’ Section
of the American Library A»so
*
ciation, for the year’s ‘most dis
tinguished contribution to Amer
ican literature for children.”
Does it not look as if apologies
were due to the I. W. W. ?

came to Dr. Einthoven as a result
of his researches into electro
physiology.
His studies had centered around
the discovery made in 1887 by A.
D. Waller, a German, that the
electrical disturbances produced
by the human heartbeat could be
detected at the surface of the
body.
The first extensive description
of this instrument was published
in 1903, and in 1906 there appear
ed in a French physiological jour
nal an account of Dr. Enithoven’s
own investigations with it. Since
then scientific physicians all over
the world have been securing the
instruments as fast as they were
available.
The device writes a photograph
ic record on a moving strip of
sensitized papeT. It is in use in
most of the important hospitals
and clinics of the world and in
private offices of many physicians
who specialize in diseases of the
heart, and it has almost revolu
tionized the treatment in certain
types of heart disease.

“The development of man’s
character or spiritual nature has
not kept pace with the develop
ment of his intellect and its prod
ucts.
“Men cannot long continue to
live together in an ever more
closely inter-related and inter- de
pendent world unless they are
guided by the spiritual laws and
principles which religion teaches.
“Consideration, unselfishness,
self sacrifice, service, all spring
ing from love of God, love of
our brother, these are the spirit
ual qualities which must keep
pace with and dominate intellect
ual and material progress if civil
ization itself is to survive. Re
ligion in its essence is the per
sonal relation between God and
man. ft
At a lecture, the speaker orat
ed reverently:
“He drove straight to his goal.
He looked neither to the right
nor to the left, but pressed for
ward, moved by a definite pur
pose. Neither friend nor foe
could delay him, nor turn him
from his course. All who crossed
his path did so at their own per
il. What would you call such
a man?”
“A truck driver,” shouted a
voice from the bored audience.
In a small town in the south
lives a physician noted for his
reckless automobile driving. One
day when he answered the tele
phone, a woman’s voice asked him
if he was going out driving that
afternoon.
“No, I hardly think I have time

“Well,” replied the anonymous
questioner, “I want to send my

The minister had dictated his
sermon to a new stenographer.
The subject was “The Joy of
Youth," and he quoted as his
a well known sentence from the
one hundred and twenty-seventh
Psalm.
Being better acquainted with
modern transportation facilities
