The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good con

otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the

MILLIONS TO. FOSTER SOUTHERN
EDUCATIONAL AND GENERAL LITERATURE
9
THE SOUTH TO BE THE CENTER OF LITERARY ENERGY, ASSURED BY A VAST ENTERPRISE INAUGU
RATED BY SOUTHERN MEN.
"You ask me,” replied Mr. William C.
Chase, chairman of the general commit
tee on organisation, etc., "to give an out
line of the undertaking or movement to
establish c vast book manufactory and
publishing house in the south? Well,
if you will let me ask questions, such as
have been asked me. In substance, from
Marj’lsnd to Texas, and answer them
from information, data and facts, I will
consent to attempt on outline. But let
me say in the beginning, that when an out
line is attempted upon a matter involving
such extensive interests to the people of
a great section of the unton, great in terri
tory and importance—a matter upon
which I have stacks of letters from the
educatota, writers, ministers, and bus
iness men of the south, no easy task is
assumed. A volume could be written and
yet the matter would not be as thoroughly
covered as its grave importance demands.
“I will, however, make the effort to con
dense a few of the leading or principal
features; the general committee will be
glad to httir from aU who are interested
and will give full information. The pro
visional beadquarters are located In the
Empire building. Atlanta. 1 will catechise
and reply.
What i« the general and school popula
tion of the Southern states?
Former, about twenty-five million; lat
ter. nearly nine million.
Who writes the books for the school
children and where are they published?
"Over ninety-five per cent . of these
books are written by persons who appar
ently are ignorant of or indifferent to the
requirements of educational interests of
the South. Less than one per cent, of the
books are manufactured or published In
the South.
What does it cost to keep up the one
hundred thousand schools in the south;
how much is pa.d out for books?
About thirty millions are appropriated
annually to maintain the schools. Esti
mating books at one dollar per pupil (and
many expend nearly ten dollars per year
for books), you can estimate the amount
paid out for books.
"Is It true that books afre forced upon
the schools and many poor children are
kept away because of the expense of
books?
"I will make the statements, and the
conclusions are apparent. There are over
five thousand different kinds of text books.
Tiie agents and allies of school book pub
lishers assert that publishers are in the
book business for the sake of charity, and
therefore to be successful philanthrophists
they must sell all the books they can.
Yes, we know of cases where large num
bers of children are kept away from the
free schools, and others peep over the
shoulders of their more fortunate mates,
because of the expense of bchoel books.
As school books are the tools used by
the school authorities, and as these books
contain the lessons taught this vast army
of future ettixens, 5.000,060. it would seem
that these authorities should correct all
def4cta
"While books are the tools of the
schools, (and at present the school is the
’tool of the book) and simple logic proves
that the texts in the books are the les
sons taught, and that these lessons are
unsatisfactory, and the whole educational
system Is undermined In consequence, yet
the school officials cannot correct the de
fect. It is a sort of Hobson's Choice
with them. Like army officers, they can
only use the material supplied by the gov
ernment. ,
Then why don't the people who own the
government, the army of children, and the
home machinery, come to the rescue?
That is exactly what this movement is
designed to accomplish. It proposes to
have the people act, and use their rights
and powers. They alone can correct the
evil. *
How will the people do this?
By having such books as our ablest
teachers and educators can write, manu
factured in the sohth and placed in com
petition on their merit aa to contents,
construction and price. Such books will
win, for the people will see to it that all
legitimate claims of such books are de
fended against fraudulent practices Qf ev
ery kind.
Books Objected To.
What kind of books are mostly objected
to as to contents?
* Histories, readers and . supplemental
readers, literature, geographies, spellers
and copy books. The following books are
also objected to because they fail to do
the south justice in many ways: Agricul
ture, aid to teachers, bothny,* constitution,
elocution, etiquette, geology, government
and law. kindergarten, logic, mental phil
osophy, microscopy, mineralogy, moral
philosophy and ethics, music, art, natural
history, nature books, pedagogy, physical
education, political economy, question
books, examiners, speakers, soology.
The public complain es the expense of
books. How can this be reduced?
Enough money can be raised tn the
south within a week to supply ample funds
with which to produce the books that will
be not only Mess expensive, but the dif
ference between the present total cost of
books per year and the coat when put up
on the proper basis of providing books
would affect a partial free book system, so
great would be the saving, and still an in
teresting profit would be shown on the in
vestment of necessary capital to conduct
the business.
Why don’t the people get together and i
do this?
This is a natural question, and it has
been asked by thousands of people, but
the echo seems tq answer, why? To ac
complish the accumulation of sufficient
funds entails so slight an effort on the
part of the people that their failure to
make thts effort is beyond comprehension.
Once the people rally to the support of
men who are willing to stand firmly for
the text book side of education, millions of
dollars will be at the service of this great
cause. The future of the south in the
world's sdvancement is involved in this
matter.
For example, what are the difficulties
that are now retarding the necessary re
forms as to school books?
One side of this problem is patriotic
sentiment, which, while very thrilling, is
wholly useless when wasted in idle £alk,
but is absolutely invincible when assem
bled in concrete form and joined with the
practical side—cash.
VYhy not engage in this matter as any
other mercantile proposition?
This is a question asked by those w>o
have never paused to consider the fact
I that books are not mere things of traffic,
though they are so treated by some pub
lishers. No man who cares for the wel
fare of bis people would attempt to solve
this problem on commercial lines simply.
Books Os the right class are only commer
cial to the extent of legitimate trade. No
book that is unfair, incomplete, or teaches
an innocent child a falsehood should be
tolerated in schools. To treat school books
merely as mercantile articles that consti
tute a part of school equipment, like chalk
or Ink, is criminal. Children are helpless,
and in the free schools they are the wards
of their commonwealth. Remember this,
for we are surely responsible for them,
i The day is fast approaching when de
grading commercialism in the treatment
of school books will be scorned and the
offenders punished. Southern men are re
solved to have the books used in their
schools serve as an Inspiration in the edu
cation department of their government
and civilisation.
The South Has the Talent.
Has the south the necessary talent to
write books? ’
If our educational institutions, unlverst
; ties and colleges have failed in all these
I years to equip men and women with suf-
I ficient accomplishments to enable them to
! write text books suitable for schools, it
i is time their doors should be closed. No
! people are intellectually superior to cul-
THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1902.
tlvated southerners. Yes, southern writ
ers, teachers and authors are capable of
writing text books equal to the best, and
far superior to the generality of books
generally in use.
How will manuscripts be obtained?
This is a matter that will, like others,
be arranged by the general board of di
rectors. In a general way we presume the
board will call on each state to put forth
her best effort, and men and women, edu
cators and teachers whose training and
natural inclination assure high class,
teachable books of first pedagogical order,
will compete. The corps of editors, who
will be eminent educators, amply qualified
to pass upon the essentials of text books,
will make selections, and the corporation
will manufacture and publish the success
ful manuscripts. Such books, having
passed the crucial teat as to their literary
and pedagogical merit, will be made in
their material part up-to-date in all re
spects, and will compete, in all markets of
the world, upon their merit.
Will the proposed corporation make oth
er than school books?
Yes. All kinds, Including subscription
and trade books, of which millions of dol
lars' worth are sold annually in the soqth,
scarcely one per cent of which are writ
ten by southerners or printed in the south.
Southern men want the literary talent of
the south developed. They want the south
known and properly represented and no
longer looked upon as an indifferent, non
descript geographical space.
What Has Been Accomplished.
What has been done so far in inaugurat
ing this movement?
Hundreds of our best men have talked
and written about this matter for years,
and public sympathy and concern is
aroused as never before. A convention of
southern men was held recently in
Charleston, 8. C., where the movement
Was inaugurated and the appointment
authorized of a general committee on or
ganization, consisting of several of the
foremost men of each southern stats;
this committee will communicate with the
citizen* of their several states and will be
called together in the near future to reg
ularly organize a vast corporation to man
ufacture and publish books. Atlanta was
chosen as provisional headquarters, and
the city in which the factories and cor
poration will be established will be decid
ed upon by the general committee at their
next meeting, as above. The capital is
limited to five millions, operations to be
,gtn when ten per cent is paid in. Each
state will have a director upon the board,
and a strong body of business men and
educators will thus be united.
In the meantime, what is the best plan
to be followed by the people in order to
aid in promulgating the project?
The general committee would be aided
in their work by the people in every town
and neighborhood in the fifteen southern
states circulating a paper to be signed by
the people and mailed to them at Atlanta,
as follows:
"We, the undersigned, citizens of
desiring to foster the movement to
establish a vast book manufacturing aaid
publishing house in the south and thereby
encourage southern literature, educational
and progressive interests hereby agree to
do all in our power to encourage and aid
the same.'*
It is generally asserted that abuses in
school books arise from combinations
among publishers; Is this correct?
There is no longer any doubt that many
of the school book publishers are allied;
and so mysteriously potential has become
their influence that they constitute a com
mercial oligarchy and literary autocracy
in books. No private concern can possi
,bly cope with the present conditions. The
sole hope of successful competition rests
in the establishment of an enterprise
owned and controlled by the general pub
lic, whose interests it is necessarily form
ed to protect and Improve.
Then it has been finally decided to act
at once?
Assuredly. Southern men will no longer
delegate the moulding of and ed
ucation to those who have for fifty years
persistently, even cruelly, ignored the de
sires and Interests of southern people.
During all of these years, in which these
concerns have been calous to appeals and
threats alike, the south has suffered in
juries that are beyond possible excuse or
pardon. Millions of money have been
taken for books that were often offensive
to the people. Money has been used to
debase manhood; even lawyers have been
paid to aid in exploiting books upon
schools.
Opposition From Monopolists.
Won’t the concerns who now control
the book traffic use every means to con
tinue this control?
Naturally they will; a few Ox them have
books of fairly good quality. Only those
who have abused their monopoly, book
commercialists pure and simple, who
have made countless promises that have
been violated from year to year, will an
tagonize this movement. They are aware
of the widespread discontent of the people,
and will doubtless swarm every city and
neighborhood with their agents, who will
plead the hackneyed sophistries of their
employers. Allies of such concerns are
found among us, who should blush to de
fend the despoilers of the literary and
educational privileges of their people.
In conclusion, the south has advanced
as no other section of the union in the
development of her material resources,
but by neglecting her mental resources,
and falling to encourage the abilities of
her people, she has lost tufty fifty years
of advantage; and instead of controlling
the forces of literature and learning tn
America, as she did fifty years ago, she
is looked upon today as the weakest por
tion of,the union; and finds herself, as to
education, etc., the object of charitable
concern of other sections off the union,
and is paying dearly and bitterly the trib
ute of her prodigality. These are plain
words, but the situation demands blunt
facts.
In the direct matter of text-books for
schools, the south is in bondage practi
cally. The present generation is, if any
thing. more servile to text books than its
predecessor. The books used relate so lit
tle of the south that, like unlettered races,
our real story Is mere tradition, handed

In many communities a voluntary fund
is provided with which history from man
uscripts is taught, so wretchedly false and
preposterous are the so-called histories
used in their schools. We have seen his
tories which, children had so thoroughly
scarrified with pencil and Ink that the
type was illegible. If children in their
tender spirit so resent the insults thrust
upon their forefathers and country, how
infinitely greater should be the indigna
tion of mature men and women in their
treatment of the affront!
One of the leading statisticians of the
south has asserted that we have today one
hundred capable writers In the south, to
one a half a century ago; and as we guid
ed the national thought at that period,
could our writers of me present find rec
ognition, through some great publishing
house, we would again enjoy the envied
prestige.
The literary lethargy existing in tne
south, and the pitiable lack of apprecia
tion of the efforts of southern writers, is
due to the fact that the manufacturing
and publishing of books is almost entirely
controlled by concerns outside of the
south. These concerns accept only such
manuscripts as commercially and, worse
still, politically, conforip to their views.
Then, too, the copyright laws are
strained to cover the mercenary inclina
tions of publishers, and often southern
writers are denied the most trivial P r ‘ v *
ileges; families of deceased authors and
poets are put off with mere pittances in
the shape of royalties, and are frequent
ly refused any courtesies In the way of
reprint privileges, etc. These conditons
aggravate the condition of literary effort,
and relief must be found for southern
writers.
- South Ignored in Books.
When we consider that the biog
raphies of our great men are mainly writ
ten by those who "edit to the publisher,
rather than to faithful chronicle,” that en
cyclopaedias and the mercantile aggrega
tions called "libraries,” "elubs,” “circles,
and so on, select only such subjects, char
acters and objects, so far as the south is
concerned, as the promoters deem mar
ketable and inoffensive; that copy books
used in schools recite only deeds of men
other than southerners; that readers make
such scant reference to the south that
their patronage amounts to parody ; that
geographies misrepresent the south's im
portance; that histories refer to southern
ers as aliens, and distort facts and de
vote pages to certain men, giving-merely
a line or so to the immortal Lee and
Jackson; it Is but natural that a revolu
tion of the whole system Is imminent and
the necessity of vigorous measures abso
lute.
A sop to Cerebus byway of parenthet
ically soliciting manuscripts of southern
men and women, not so much for their
fitness and ability as for their popular
ity in a trade sense, is a means to the
end used by many publishers.
The patronizing of a few novelists by
some of the “great publishers’” is a fad,
created for mere gain rather than a rec
ognition of merit—treated as a harmless
sarcasm to vanity.
The south has produced over 10,000 wri
ters, orators and statesmen, physicians,
divines, artists, musicians, lawyers, In
ventors, financiers and other men and wo
men of conspicuous talent, ability and
genius; but we seek in vain to find any
considerable number es them included in
the list of eminent Americans in any line
of achievement. The persistence in ignor
ing the south by the publishers in com
mon, merits the rebuke of the entire coun
try, and that it will be properly dealt
with there can be no doubt.
At last the southerir people are begin
ning to realize their true condlton,
wrought by an inexplicable neglect of
the educational interests of our children
as applied to textbooks, the ignoble plight
<sf our literature and the grave ganger
confronting us if we longer fail to heed
the signs of the times.
A half century of abject dependence, ser
vitude, and tribute, has finally brought
the people to a revolt that no power can
stay. Neither the cry of sectionalism nor
the transparencies of a few subsidized
newspapers and retainers, will affect re
sults other than to more completely unite
the people In their determination to
throw off this burden assert their
right of selection, independence and de
velopment.
Fifty years of southern effort will now
take the place of the lost half century
marked by idleness, and worse—neglect. In
1950 those who are so fortunate as to
live in the south will enjoy the distinc
tion of possessing a literary and educa
tional excellence equal to the superlative
of any people on the globe. All lands
will be honored to have in their homes
and schools books written and published
in the south; compare such a brilliant
gratification to the dismal gloom of to
day!
We have in the south the necessary
brains, money, patriotism and courage to
execute the requirements and demands of
this undertaking; and by the concerted
action of the people, a glorious consuma
tlon of the devoutly wished purpose is as
sured.
Southern men have over a billion of dol
lars invested in successfully managed
manufeturing enterprises, and it is man
ifestly certain the people will put a few
millions of dollars Into book manufactur
ing with equally satisfactory results; for
with the sentiment of a justly indignant
people resolved to protect their rights and
well-being,' the combination is invincible
and success certain.
This movement is the cause of the whole
people, and its success means suprema
cy, while failure would mean certain de
struction to all possibiliity of permanent
progress in the south. A land without a
literature is a land without hope.

Sermon
There are two Greek words which are
used for man. The one here used is one of
the most beautiful words In its etymology,
I am a man. Diogenes, the ancient cynic x ,
was seen in daylight with a lighted lamp,
and when asked why he was acting so
unnaturally replied, “I seek a man.” At
another time, coming out of a public bath
house, he was asked if many men bathed,
and he replied, "No.” And then the ques
tion being put whether many people were
bathing he replied yes.
At another time, going into Plato’s
school and hearing the eminent philoso
pher define man as a two-legged animal
without feathers, he took a rooster,
plucked the feathers from it, went into
Plato’s school and placed it before Plato’s
pupils. He said: "Here’s Plato’s man,”
which was one of the best rebukes ever
given to an Illogical definition.
And yet it is said of this same Plato
that he thanked the gods for three things.
"1, that he was not a brute; 2, not an
idiot, and 3, that he was not a barbarian.”
Paul said in his defense, “I am a man.”
How many two-legged you can
see, but how few men, men physically, in
tellectually and morally! Self indulgence
has crippled their locomotion, marred
their features, blunted their sensibilities,
seared their consciences and stifled thetr
convictions until now they are blooming
bloats, bewildered buyis and disgusting
degenerates. What wrecks can now be
seen upon the streets of cities and high
ways of life calling themselves men. That
which made them men in the presence of
their fellow men, honor, honesty, sobrie
ty and virtue, are all gone. Gradually
dropping, they have reached the point
where it would be a slander to the brutes
to say that they were brutish. They have
ceased to turn their faces up as the Greek
word means, and they have turned them
down to the guilty, gluttonous and grov
elling things of time and sense. The great
want of today is the right kind of men,
men who are not for sale, men who fear
God and keep His commandments, men
who know what to say and say it an 1
what to do and do it, men who are strong
in the strength of the Lord, men who are
more jealous of God’s honor than of their
own and who will stand by the right
though the heavens fallf
But Paul also says, "I am a Jew.” Now
he is coming closer to the gist of the mat
ter. I’m a religtos man. The writer is
glad that he has never had that foolish
and unjust prejudice against the Jews
which some have, but he is sorry to say
that there are many who call themselves
Israelites who are not such in deed. If a
man as a Jew will ever live in accordance
with the law of Moses and the spirit of the
prophets, how much more proudly could
he say as Paul: *T am a Jew." And the
Jew let me say ought to not only admire
and exalt, but love Jesus of Nazareth, for
he was the best Jew that ever lived. The
combined testimony of the Gentile Pilate
and the Jewish Paul ought to settle it, for
they are the representatives of millions
who have declared, "I find no fault in ttys
man, and so also with the man who takes
the model man for his exemplar and the
Divine Savior for his prophet, priest and
king, he Is fortunate if he can declare
with the converted Saul of Tarsus, "I am
a man and a Christian.” What a bur
lesque on Christianity is the life of some
who say, "I am an imitator of Christ.”
Yea, what a lie! Yea, what a slander upon
the immaculate son of Mary and Son of
God! What a travesty! An imitator of
Christ and a frequenter of barrooms,
brothels, gambling saloons. An imitator
of Christ and dishonest and lying, pro
fane and Sabbath-breaking. An imitator
of Christ and cross, censorous
deceitful, proud and worldly-minded. An
imitator of Christ and loving pleasure
more than God, having the form of good
ness, but denying its power. Although as
to his personal physique Paftil was not
prepossessing, yet he was one of the most
intellectual and consecrated of men. No
wonder that Felix trembled and Agrippi
was almost persuaded under his preach
ing; no wonder that his death song was,
"Henceforth there is laid up a crown for
me,” when his life song was. “For me to
live is Christ, whose I am and whom I
serve.”
But Paul went further and said, “I am
a citizen.” What? an apostle and yet a
citizen! Why, Paul, weren't you afraid
to mix politics with your manhood and
ministry? Weren’t you afraid you would
be called a heretic by the hide-bound, red
taped, sticklers of your day and be accus
ed of advocating the union of church and
state? Paul knew the meaning of pure
BEING A MAN.

politics (and no other ought to be allowed
or encouraged, if possible.) Re knew as
well as we do that the word politics comes
from th« Greek word rodio, city, and then
roditys, a citjzen. He knew that he had
relationship aa a man and relationship as
a religious man who was a citisen and that
the relationship carried correlative obli
gations. He was proud of his city which
in its schools of philosophy was a rival
of Athena and Alexandria and was made a
free city by Augustus (Caesar) and gov
erned by its own magistrates, and hence
Paul was free bom from Jewish parent
age.
He evidently prized the privilege of the
ballot and advocated the election of clean,
capable, honest and temperate men for
places of trust and honor. He. no doubt,
demanded the enforcement of the law and
denounced the anarchist of his day who
defied the law by open violation. Happy

her business transactions, not mean in
her church privileges, not mean in her
charities and public spirit, not mean tn
her morality. Who are the best citizens,
the wine-bibbers, the libertines, the har
lots, the swearers and Sabbath breakers?
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.-
\
BY A PRIVATE SOLDIER.
I see a great deal in the papers these
days on the Pjiiplppine Islands And am
amused at the different views which
good and great men have on the sub
ject.
The majority of the people in this coun
try are as ignorant about these islands
as a country negro'is of the ways and
doings of the upper ten of Atlanta's 400.
Why, it would be a disgrace on civili
zation to turn the Filipino aloose and let
him govern himself. He is just about as
able to govern hlmeslf as were the ne
groes when they were freed and let go at
the close of the war.
The American government owes it both
to itself as well as the balance of the
world to hold these islands and govern
them until the people become enlightened
enough to set up a government of their
own.
I have been over there, stayed there
longer and saw more of the ways and
doings of these people than did t Sena tor
Bacon or even Judge Taft.
As for the Flltpino understanding any
thing about the Declaration of Independ
ence or wanting to be free, it is all bosh.
He knows nothing about it and carea
much less. All he cares for la plenty to
eat, just so he don’t have to work for
it, but if he has t«F work for it why he
had rather do without it.
I saw hundreds of Filipinos within 150
miles of Manila who never came in con
tact with such a thing as a biscuit or any
thing of the kind since their appearance
in the wqrld.
They wear no clothes to amount to any
thing. have no beds to sleep on, never saw
a cooking stove, sleep in the house with
their dogs, hogs and chickens, eat off the
floor. Know nothing of the Bible, can’t
tell the truth or be honest; and taken all
in all are as sorry a lot of people as it
would be possible for a sensible person
to Imagine. I am speaking <rf a majority
of the natives. Os course, in Manila, you
can find a few educated men and women,
but a very few. Indeed.
As I said before, I have been there and
saw what I did from the standpoint of
a private in the United States army. I
had ample tlm* to study the ways and
customs of the people and especially the
country, as I walked and swam over nine
or ten of the different islands. I eat with
them, slept with them, drank with them,
fought chickens with them and went to
church with them, while Judge Taft and
other notables of America were playing
poker and drinking “Americano whis
key.”
The Sulus, Vlsayans, Tagals, Uocanas,
Maccabbees, and the Filipino are all
the same. They are filthy, indolent,
treacherous and dishonest. Care for noth
ing and want nothing. Give them a
stomach full of rice and fish today and
tomorrow you can go to the devil. He
will loaf all the week and flght chickens
all day Sunday. He don’t have to work
as nature attends to the matter es feed
ing him, that is on such stuff as he eats.
I see that Senator Bacon says the Fili
pinos are afraid if America governs them
thetr race will die out. Ye Gods! I was
Are these as bulwarks and battlements to
a city? Are not the best citizens made
out of the beat men and women? It is
said of one of our presidents that his #
neighbors more as a joke elected him a
road overseer after he served as presi
dent. but he refused to reslga when told
it was a joke, and made one of the best
they had ever had. Is the man
preaches temperance in all things, who
exhorts, at God’s command, his fellow
men to abstain from fleshly lusts which
was against the soul, and to "live sober
ly, righteously and godly in thia present
life” less a citizen because he wears the
livary of heaven? Paul said, my conver
sation (or citizenship) is in heaven, but
he also said I am a man. a Jew and a
citizen of no mean city. The. better the,
man and Christian the better citisen ha!
makes on earth, and a better prepared one
for service in that city which hath foundSr:
tions.
As men, as Jews and Christians, as cit
izens, ought we not by every available
means to try to bring Atlanta up to such'
a standard that when we are asked
where do you hail from the answer may
be, "I am from Atlanta, in Georgia; I’m
a citizen of no mean city."
stationed in the town of Romblon on th®
Island of Romblon, situated about 255 miles,
south of Manila, for about three months. I,
suppose the place contained about 5,000 or:
6,0(0 inhabitants, and I know of at least
25 women, Filipino womeri, mind you, whO|
were married to Chinamen, and they were
the leaders of Romblon society, too.
Why. they think it an honor for a white*
child to be born in the family. It makes
no difference to them whether its fa
ther is a Spaniard or an American. If the.
child is a girl so much the better. You
see, if it is a girl, when it grows up the
niother can marry it off to more advan
tage than she could if her daughter were
a brown-skinned Filipino. I am truly sor
ry Major Bacon and our other southern
representatives in congress have so,
much compassion for these enlightened (?)
people of the Philippines.
We have got these islands and will have;
to hold them until the people are better
educated and become more able to gov-,
ern themselves. God knows when that;
will be. ' WESLEY NORRELL. .
