DOES AN EDUCATION PAY?
In discussing this most important subject, The Houston
Chronicle points out that it is the only thing in life that does
pay, and gives the following excellent advice:
“Schools and colleges do not educate men, they merely
make it possible and'convenient for men to educate them-
I selves.
“Men have become educated without ever entering a
school, or college, and men have gone through all kinds of
schools and colleges, making the grades, passing the exam
inations, receiving the diplomas and degrees, without becom
ing educated.
“Let this fact speak for itself. Let it sink in deep. It
is the big outstanding fact of history, and it means much.
“The school, or college, is opportunity; that, and no
more. It is not a mill to grind out perfected human beings,
to convert ne’er-do-wells into Solomons, but it is the door,
the practical, common sense way, to enter the field of learn
ing.
“One can learn all that a school or college offers on the
' outside, but it will be harder, much harder, and it discour
ages 999 out of every thousand.
“One can go to school, or college, and get nothing, but
that, too, is exceptional.
“The school and college are here, not because education
* is barred to the few without them, but because it would be
, barred to the many.
i "They are here as a matter of practical, economic, time
saving. as an inspiration for which there is no substitute, as
a privilege for the masses.
“As to those singular men who win success without ed
ucation, be careful how you rate them.
“Unlearned and unlettered they may be in the formal
sense, but not in the essential sense, and besides, whatever
they may have achieved for themselves, they owe much to
those around them, and before them, who worked with the
• tools of education. I
“Henry Ford, for instance, does he run his factories and
erect his gigantic machines?
“Did he perfect the processes of refining metal, without
■ which the automobile would be impossible, or the battery, or
the spark plug?
“No, indeed, he merely added an idea here, and a thought
there, but the bulk of it he drew from educated men, not
only in his generation, but in past generations.
“He has made millions, while Milton, Socrates and Moses
made nothing, while Columbus died in chains, but which of
them all is most successful?
“What is this success that every boy and girl worries
about? i
“Is it so much money to spend on pleasure, so much
more income for luxury, so much social climbing by which
. to lord it over one’s neighbors, or is it made of finer stuff,
of that substance we call service that the world remembers
with gratitude?
“Don’t confuse education with formal knowledge, or
success with the dollar, though both form a part of conven
tionalized society.
“Put education and success on this basis—first, to be
come healthy, helpful human beings; second, to become good
citizens; third, to become useful workers in the field of trade
and profession; then, the question of whether education
pays, or whether it insures success becomes easier to an
swer.”

WILLIAM JEHUS
BRYAN ADDRESSES
STATE LEGISLATURE
Introduced By Speaker Neill
as “Greatest Friend of
Common People in History
of Our Country.”
Atlanta, July 10.—William Jen
nings Bryan, who had accepted an
invitation to address the legislature
today, was introduced to the House
by Speaker Neill as “the greatest
friend of the common people in the
history of our country. ’ Mr. Bryan
delivered quite a magnificent address
on the subject of prohibition en
forcement and the erroneous idea of
encroachment upon states rights, in
which he uged that no other state
attempt to follow in the foot-steps
of New York. Asa second section
he delivered to the legislature much
the same address he has been using
in his lecture platform in opposition
to the Darwinian theory of the “dis
covery of the origin of species'* and
“the evolution of man,’’ the purpose
of which was to carry to the Gen
eral Assembly the recommendation
that a joint resolution be adopted
prohibiting the further teaching of
Darwin’s Theories in the public
schools and colleges of the state be
cause, Mr. Bryan said, this instilla
tion in to the young mind of the
country that man originated from a
brute of the lowest type of destroy
ing the Christianity and finess oi
the people of this nation.
Prefaces Talk.
He prefaced hi stalk by dealing
with the question of law enforcement
and asking that he be allowed to “re
mind the Georgia general assembly
that the laws of our country are go
ing to be enforced, whether by the
states themselves, or by the federal
government, and to say that, any
state which fails to enforce itself
the laws of the country is merely
inviting upon it a larger activity by
the federal government that that
state ought to desire or ought to
have.” He rather severely scored
New York state and Governor Smith,
where he said the cry of state’s
rights has been used to cover up the
real thing behind that state’s activi
ty, and charged that Governor Smith
“made rather a poor showing when
he urged the right of a state to con
trol its liquor traffic and regula
tions. Refuting any argument that
state rights arc involved in the fede
ral enforcement. Mr. Bryan referred
to the fact that the four states first
to ratify the federal prohibtion
amendment were Mississippi, Virgi
nia, South Carolina and Kentucky,
the Southern essence, he said, of the
adherance to states rights princi
ples.
He especially urged that Georgia
not think Of following in the foot
steps of New York but that this state
continue to co-operate in the en
forcement of the prohition regula
tions, which were obtained after 50
years of determined effort, and
which are to stand forever.

SENATE WILL NOT
DISCUSS DILL TO
REPEAL PRQHI LAW
Makes it Known That Arnold
Bill or Any Bill Relating to
Liquor Will Not Be Passed.
SENATE OPPOSED TO
TOO MUCH AGITATION
In House of Representatives,
Greater Portion of Day
Consumed in Revision of
Rules in the House.
Atlanta, Ga., July 10.—All those
people in the state, particularly the
uplift organizations, who have seen
a bogey man in the Arnold bill to
repeal the state anti-liquor laws of
1907 and 1908 and 1915 can rest at
ease after the present time. The
state senate today made it a def
inite certainty that neither the Ar
nold bill, nor any other measure
having to do with liquor will be
passed, even c'iscussed, in that
branch of the assembly this year.
A test vote has been taken and the
senate stands unanimously opposed
to any unnecessary agitation. A
resolution was offered by Senator
Stovall, of McDuffie county, signed
by himself and 45 other members of
the body—which puts the killing
vote on record —the substance of
which is that this is no time to
agitate the prohibition or anti-pro
hibition question, to inject anything
that will “foment useless discussion
and possible strife “and that the
senate is opposed to anything “the
natural result of which would be
to nullify said prohibition law,”
and declaring it “is to be deplored
as ill conceived, however, well
meant" ihe Arnold bill may be, and
that “it will not meet the approval
of the people of Georgia." When
the resolution w; s put to the senate
it went through without a dissent
ing vote thereby recording the here
tofore unprecedented procedure of
a legislative bill having been killed
by the upper body even before it
had been considered by the commit
tee of the branch in which it origi
nates. Prohibition, therefore, is to
find no further place in this ses
sion, at least.
More Important.
More important that Mr. Stovall’s
resolution—although that does set
at rest all state anxiety on this
pyrotechnic subject—was an address
delivered to the senate by President
Carswell, in which he told that
body “this is no time for side-step
ping and pussyfooting, but we should
get at the issues like men, honestly
and fearlessly,” in asking that the
senate proceed forthwith to devise
and put over certain constitutional
amendments affecting the proposed
tax reform. It is his idea that the
senate should pass a bill authoriz
ing a moderate income tax and, as
well authorizing the classification of
property for taxation.
In the house of representatives
the greater portion of the day was
consumed in a general revision of
the rules of the house, designed by
Speaker Neill and Vice Chairman
Milner, of the rules committee, to
expedite business by providing that
the rules committee be constituted
a direct steering committee through
out the session.
A number of amendments were of
fered, all designed to the Same end,
J and the principal opposition to the
! report and recommendations of the
| rules committee came from Repre
j sentative Steward of Atkinson,

How to Build Attic Aerials for Your Radio
ATTIC aerials are easy to con
■ struct and when properly made,
the results obtained with them are
nearly as good as those obtained with
outdoor aerials. Attic aerials should
not be confused with loop aerials, as
they have no directional effects. They
also have an advantage over outdoor
aerials in that they do not need a light
ning switch.
The end-to-end type of this aerial
consists of a number of lengths of No.
14 stranded copper wire, strung paral
lel to each other, and attached to the
uprights at each end of the attic by
means of ordinary aerial insulators.
The total length of the wire used
should not be less than 150, nor more
than 200 ft., and the wires should be
spaced about 1 !/£ ft, apart. One end
is left dead; the wires are then con
nected in series, as shown, and the
other end is soldered to the lead-in
wire, which is brought down to the
instrument through a length of flexible
loom.
In attics where less space is avail
able, such as those with hip roofs, the
aerial can be strung along the rafters,
as shown in the upper right-hand
drawing. One length of No. 14 wire,
150 to 200 ft. long, is strung in four
parallel rows as indicated, the wire be
ing attached to’the rafters by means
of round porcelain insulators, which
can be purchased at any electrical
supply store. One end is left dead, and
the other is connected to the lead-in
wire, as before.
The flat-loop aerial, shown in the
j lower drawing, is designed for small
poses of the proposed changes, he
was received by applause from the
house and the committees recom
mended changes were generally
adopted by the house.
The matter of revising and adopt
ing the house rules occupied so much
of the time of the session that the
highway department investigatory
resolutions, two of which are pend
ing and had been set as practically
the special and continuing order be
fore the committee of the whole
house for today, went over as un
finished business for tomorrow with
out having been taken up. It is
pretty conclusive that matter will
occupy at least full day, and the
attitude of the representative from
Marion, leading one side of the
fight, is that a limited time, start
ing after the noon hour, would be
detrimental to the proper handling
of the subject.
New Business.
Among the new business offered
in the house todty probably the big
gest measure was that by Perry
man of Talbot, and others, provid
ing for practically a recreation of
the penal administration system Of
the state. There arc companion
measures covering the subject, one
of which provides for the creation
of a state prison warden to have
charge of administration of the af
fairs of the state central prisons
and all the camps. The other, be
sides revising the system, provides
for the creation of a state pardon
board, to be composed of the pres
ent members of the prison commis
sion, each of whom shall receive a
salary of $2,000 a year, with their
duties limited to passing on appli
cations for clemency. They now
draw $3,600 for the full duties. The
salary of the state warden is to be
$4,000 a year and he is to be under
a bond of $25,000.
Another angle of the capital re
moval fight came on in the form
of a resolution by Representative
Camp providing for a commission of
eight to look into the need for re
pairs to the present property and
the erection of an annex in order
to relieve the present rentals paid
by the state in excess of $3,600 a
year.
During the early part of the ses
sion Representative Baniester, un
der a personal privilege, replied to
a statement recently made by Com
missioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown
itself in reply to the resolution by
Mr. Banister making charges against
the agricultural department. The
department statement, in printed
form, was spread upon all the desks,
and in his personal privilege Mr.
Baniester asserted that he has no
personal feeling in the matter of
criticism of the department, but
rather he has supported Mr. Brown
in all his races. He asserted that
in the last race Mr. Brown levied
an assessment on the employees of
the. department for campaign ex
penses, and charged that “while Mr.
Brown pretended to be a friend to
Mr. Watson, he appointed some men
Mr. Watson recommended in the
agricultural department; but remov
ed them immediately after Watson's
death.”
From the department it is learn
ed that the reference to the last
campaign expense is not well found
ed, since the contributions made to
the last campaign expense by em
ployees in the department were all
entirely voluntary, and that the one
removal in the department was that

across the attic from corner to corner,
and are tied together at the point
where they cross. The aerial wire is

point where it touches the ropes. The

Adverse Report.
Under the head of reports of
committees, the ways and means
committee adversely reported to the
house the three main bills propos
ing repeal of the state tax equal
ization law, and to this a minority
report was filed by Representative
Rutherford of Monroe as to his re
peal bill. That has the effect of
putting the bill on at the head of
the calendar for the purpose of
bringing it before the house on a
motion to disagree to the report of
the committee. It appears conclu
sive, though, after so decisive a
vote in the-committee, that the re
peal bills will not be passed, at
least not until there has been some
other tax reform legislation. The
general sentiment among members
on both sides is that this will be
accomplished in this session and
that any danger of necessity for an
extra session—such as was intimat
ed by Governor Walker would be
the ease if he found it necessary at
the end of the tegular session—has
about faded out.
The routine of the session was al
leviated shortly afternoon by the
pearance of William Jennings Bryan
the great commoner, who for forty
five minutes addressed the member
ship of both branches on enforce
ment of the prohibition law and the
teaching of the Darwinian theory on
the discovery of species and the
evolution of man, which he says,
through its usage in the schools and
colleges of the country is damning
the human race.
