Women Teachers and Boys.
The Moseley commission of
eminent English educators, during
their* winter’s investigation in
many cities of this country, have
found much to admire and com
mend in the American system of
education. But they have not
admired everything and one thing
that they criticise is the education
of the majority of American youth
by women. They express the
opinion that in consequence of the
vast preponderance of women
teachers in the public schools the
American bo}' is becoming femis
nized.
This view is supported by some
American educators and by some
of the women teachers themselves.
The latter believe that after boys
have reached twelve years of age
they should be taught and trained
by men onlj T , and that previous to
that time they are better off under
tlie refining influence of women.
It is also beginning to be urged by
the students of the subject that the
boy’s truly masculine qualities
have less room for development
since the abolition of corporal pun
ishment put an end to the more
Spartan training of former times.
No stern discipline and only wo
men as intellectual guides would
naturally be expected to produce a
somewhat different product from
the fathers and grandfathers of
the molern boy, whether the lat
ter be “feminized” or not.
A point that should not be over
looked in this discussion, and
which, so far as we have observed,
has been overlooked, is that sex is
nattier of soul and of mind as-
well of body. With this help in
view, there can be no question of
superiority and inferiority between
men and women, but only of in
herent difference, tlie two sexes
constituting two different orders
of being. With this end in view
maybe readily perceived it is not
desirable for a boy to be wholly
under the influence of a feminine
mind after he has reached a certain
age, and tliat it is desirable that
he come under masculine guidance
and discipline.
Tlie fact that the majority of
American boys are now wholly
educated by women is not a deliber
ate choice but the result of circum
stances. Men teachers have drop
ped out of the public schools be
cause tlie pay is not s-ufficient to
keep them there. It is largely a
matter of economy on the part of
the public school management.
B it except in so far as the girls
and the very young boys are con
cerned, it is to be feared that it is
poor economy.—Macon Telegraph.

The Name of the War.
“I suppose,” said the Man who
Likes to Look up Queer Things,
“that the present war in the East
will be called the ‘Russo-Japanese’
war. I come to that conclusion
from a diligent perusal of the pa
pers, the Associated Press dis
patches and the talk of the man in
the street. Now, at the time of
the Spanish American war I look
ed into this matter a little, and I
found out some curious coinci
dences
“In the first, I found that all
wars designated by a single word
contained in that word tlie con
quered party. Thns, the Greeks,
the Punic (that is, Carthagenian
wars) ended in the victory of
Rome and the so-called Napoleon.
The Indian war of 1841 resulted
in Great Britain’s establishment
of herlndain empire: the Grimean
war came to a close with the de
feat of the power that governed
the Crimea: we won the Mexican
war: at the end of the Schleswig-
Holstein war Denmark had to sur
render Scheswig-Holstein to the
Austro-Prussain combination, and
the Boer war was won l»y Eng
land.
“Now, turning to the hyphenat
ed wars, you’ll find that the pow
er ahead of the hyphen is invari
ably the loser. The Austro-Prus-
sian war was won by the Prus
sians at the battle ofSadowa; the
Franco Prussian war ended at
Sedan by the defeat of the French;
the Chino^Japanese war found the
Japs ahead at its clone: the Greco-
Turkish war went to the Tuiks
and the Spanish-Ame;ican the
Americans.
“Is there anything significant in
the fact that every one is referring
to tlie present war as the Rus-
sain Japanese w a r?’—Philadel

MEMORIAL
€
To the Late Colonel Jesse A. Glenn
of Dalton.
On the 19th of March, 1904,
Col. Jesse A. Glenn, the senior
member of the Cherokee Bar, and
a distinguished Confederate Vet
eran, died at his home in Dalton,
in the seventy-first year of his
age. On the following day 3n
unusually large concourse of peo
pie attended his funeral. In this
cortege was a large delegation
from the Joseph E. Jolinston
Camp of Confederate Veterans,
of which he was a member; the
entire Dalton Bar, accompanied
by two distinguished judges of
the Superior Courts of the state,
and many of the older and more
substantial citizens of Dalton and
the surrounding country—this in
attestation of the high regard in
which the deceased was held.
Col. Glenn was admitted to the
bar in Chattooga county, in the
years 1856, at a period when
young men of conscious ability
and laudable ambition came to
the bar as the beginning of an
honorable career, frequently lead
ing to distinction, and not as a
mere trade promising a precarious
support: At that time the Cher
okee Cucuit extended from Ala
bama to South Carolina, and em
braced the three tiers of counties
in the northern end of the state.
It numbered upon its roll of
attorneys many gentlemen who
gained state distinction as jurists,
and who held high positions in
the councils of the state and the
nation; as Underwood, Wright,
Walker, McCutchen, Dabney and
Akin, and many others scarcely
less distinguished. At such a
time, and under such condition,
and with such competition, Col.
Glenn went at once into a profit
able practice, and gathered around
him a numerous and influential
clientage. In tlie year I *58 he
moved to Dalton, which city was
his home during his entire subse
quent life. At Dalton his prac
tice increased, and the circle of
liis friends and clients enlarged.
He was universally regarded as a
young man of fine ability, of
splendid prospects, promising to
become distinguished as a lawyer
throughout the state.
It was a time, too, of intense
political excitement, which cul
minated in secession and the war
between the states. It was in
evitable that a man of convictions
so pronounced, and patriotic im
pulses so strong, and courage so
unquestioned, would enter the
military service of his country.
In the very beginning of hostili
ties he raised the first company
that was organized in Whitfield
county, and became its Captain
by acclamation. This company
was attached to the regiment of
Col. Paul J. Sims, who com
manded one of the six regiments
raised under the call of Governor
Joseph E. Brown for coast de
fense. Col. Glenn remained with
this regiment during the entire
period for which it was enlisted.
Immediately upon the expiration
of his term of service under the
state, he raised the Thirty Sixth
Georgia Regiment, composed of
eleven companies, from the coun
ties of Gwinnett, DeKalb, Fulton,
Bartow, Catoosa and Whitfield
and was elected, without oppo
sition, Colonel of this splendid
regiment. This regiment en
tered the service of the Confed
erate States of America in the
beginning of 18^2, and was led
by its gallant Colonel through the
arduous campaigns of 1862, and

1863, until the fall of Vicksburg.
The regiment engaged in many
of the most severe and bloody
battles in Tennessee, Kentucky
and Mississippi, always led its
distinguished Colonel with skill
and superb courage. Indeed, it
is doubtful whether Cot Glenn
ever experienced during the war,
or before, cr afterwards, the sense
of physical fear. Certain it is
that fear never determined his
action in either civil or military
life. His daring frequently as
sumed the appearance of rashness.
The exposure which was the oc-
sasion of serious wounds, which
he carried to his grave, was at
tributed by his friends to reckless
bravery.
He was a man of strong will,
born to command, yet of genial
and kindly disposition, which at
tracted to him friends that clung
to him as with hooks of steel. He
was never known to betray or
desert a friend, or harbor malice
against an enemy. At the ex
piration of his paiol, (he was
parolled at the fall of Vicksburg)
he was detached from his regi
ment and sent by Gen. A. W.
Reynolds, Commandant of the
District, to northeast Georgia,
with authority to raise a brigade,
and was rapidly accomplishing
this mission—doubtless but for
the disastrous termination of the
war he would have succeeded in
the enterprise and been promoted
to the command of the brigade as
Brigadier General.
At the close of the war he was
seriously embarrassed financially,
but to his lasting credit be it said,
that through the kind offices of
the late Judge C. D. McCutchen
and his junior partner, Col. Glenn
compromised all of his debts and
paid the agreed compromise to
the satisfaction of his creditors.
Though financially greatly crip
pled, he reared creditably his
family of five sons, and gave
them all the best education that
the academies of this city af
forded. Two of them became
distinguished lawyers and legis
lators, the other one surviving be
came a competent, successful and
highly respected business man.
During the first lease of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad,
Col. Glenn occupied for a num
ber of years a responsible position
in the Law Department of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad Co.
Afterwards he served as post
master of Dalton for a term of
four years.
In politics he allied himself
with the National Republican
Party, and remained prominent
in its council in the Seventh Con
gressional District until the end
of his life. Though he belonged
to the minority party in the state,
yet, so numerous was his follow
ing, and so implicitly did it rely
upon his leadership, that his
political influence was always a
quantity to be reckoned with by
his political opponents. Though
as a lawyer he did not keep
abreast with the decisions of the
courts of last resort, on account of
1 his other engagements, yet his.
mind was of judicial turn, and his
opinions, based upon reason and
the elementary principles of the
law, equity and justice, were
usually correct, and always en
titled to consideration.
It 1s eminently proper that
some memorial of Col. Clenn’s
life and service to his county be
entered upon the minutes of this
Court, in which he was practicing
attorney for nearly a half century.
Your committee submits to this
report, and moves the granting of
on order that a page of the
minutes be devoted to his memory,
and that this memorial be entered
thereupon.

W. C. Martin,

It is ordered that the within

Confessions of Dodd Gaston.
I criticise a good many things,
but I am free to admit that I have
made a mess of most of the things
I have attempted.
I confess that I do not under
stand how Parsifal has so long es
caped the attention of the man
who names the sleeping cars.
It has also occurred to me that
the breakfast food advertising is
taking its vacation rather early in
the season.
This has been an unusually
pleasant winter and spring. I can
recall no similar season when so
few people attempted to entertain
me by reading aloud.
I confess that before I got up
yesterday morning I had a long
argument with myself as to wheth
er cold baths do all that is claimed
for them.
I often doubt that Carnegie is
sincere in his efforts to get rid of
his money. If he were he’d buy
an Oriental rug with it.
When I want to insult a man I
use no half-way measbres. I either
question the breeding of his dog
or the accuracy of his watch.
I do not claim to be better than
others, but I am honest enough to
admit that I do not like salt-rising
bread.
I never advocate severe meas*
ures except in the case of the man
who refers to his wife as “the wo
man.”—Topeka Capitol.
Figured Out a Profit in tbe Pig.
A Pennsylvania Railroad officer
has a stock farm on the outskirts
of Philadelphia, says the Philadel
phia Ledger, and at a recent din
ner of the Clover Club a friend of
the railroader spoke of it, saying:
“He runs it on a businesslike basis.
Sometimes he makes money out
of it. Last year he bought a pig
for#27, fed it forty bushels of corn
at $1 a bushel, and then sold it
for $31.50.
“’I made $4 50 out of that pig,’
he remarked to me the day after
the animal was taken away.
“ ‘But, I protested,’ how about
the forty bushels of corn, at #1 a
bushel, that you fed him?’
“ ‘Oh,’ commented the gentle
man farmer, ‘I didn’t expect to
make anything on the corn.”
