THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1913. Somewhere I read these lines: “It Iseemeth to me that the true idea of (education is contained in the word it self, which signifies the act of drawing out or deducing; and being applied in a general sense to man, must signify the ■drawing forth or bringing out those ■powers which are implanted in him by ■the hand of his Maker. This, therefore, ■we must adopt as the rudimental idea of ■education: that it aims to do for man ■that which agriculturist does for the ■fruits of the earth, and the gardener for the more choice and beautiful produc tions thereof, what the forester does for ■the trees of the forest and the tamer (and breaker in of animals does for the (several kinds of wild creatures." I have had so, much to say in the past (about compulsory education that I am (at my wits’ end. Yet it is a subject so ■near my heart and one that means so (much to Georgia that I feel as if I (must not let an opportunity pass with- (out once more reminding the readers of ■this page that it behooves every one lof them to do their part. Each one ■should not only send their own children ■to school, rain or shine, but try to en- ■thuse others. This is a matter that af fects the standing of Georgia among (other states, and in the years to come, (when the educational qualification will (mean more than it does now it will be (the white man who will suffer, for our “brother in black” doesn’t need a law |for compulsory education. Whether (there is meal in the sack or not the chil dren go to school. How would you like (to have your son be compelled to ask a (negro boy to read something for him? I (saw that not a year ago. The negro |was well dressed and the white .man called him “Mister.” I heard a man predict all sorts of |things for this country, all because of (the lack of interest in compulsory edu cation. Some of the legislators would (vote for it, and work for it, but they (know that if they should do so this (would be their last chance at the “gov- (ernment crib,” and so they merge their (opinions into any old thing that will (make them popular, just as one lost his (place because he voted for a woman’s (bill. Just about as valuable to Georgia is (the uneducated citizen as a block of (stone to the sculptor. There may be all sorts of possibilities in both, but who (can tell what until education has (brought one to light and the sculptor’s (chisel the other. In these days of (specialization a man or woman has lit- Jtle chance to be more than a part of (some great machinery with some other (person doing the headwork that prob- (ably could be eyen better done were the lone toiling as a beast of burden the (educated one. This seems plain lan- lguage, but look at the toiling masses (and see if I am not right. Yes, I know there are men and women | who have reached certain pinnacles of ■ success notwithstanding their lack of ed- lucation. But don’t you know that they I reaelize every day the handicap that lack I is to them. Some few have become so (well satisfied over their success that they (are not aware of their colossal ignor- jance. They catch at big words and make j laughing stocks of themselves. They (are very much in the minority, however, land we do not want the next generation I to have any of that sort. True, manly' (hearts beat in their bodies and it seems | a shame for the head to lack cultivation. Georgia teachers are among the worst I paid in this country, but how could one (expect any better when education fs v at I such a low ebb? Many letters come to I me from patrons and teachers so I hear (both sides of some very pitiful stories. (The price in other states is drawing (many of the best teachers from this I state, and the fact that a school must I make such an average to enable the (teachers to collect the salary puts the I responsibility of keeping it up on a few*, (the ones who do not make their children | go. One young teacher came to this city | and applied for work in a store. I asked 1 her why she did not teach and she told I me of a debt she made thinking her I school was sure for enough months to I pay it. One thing and another kept the I children at home and the consequence | was she appeared in the eyes of some as (a fraud because she could not meet her | obligations. Two years ago President Barrett said: J “If we are not going to prepare the cit- | izens who must rule tomorrow for a bet- | ter reckoning with their tasks than (their fathers and grandfathers, then we ] might as well abandon the battle cry of (progress in Georgia.” He also said, “Education, universal ed- I ucation is here to stay. If it be not tak- I en voluntarily we must make it compul- | sory, as we make it compulsory for peo-‘ (ple to wear clothes on the street, as we, I refuse to let a man or woman commit I suicide or murder if we can help it. For I the parent not requiring his child v to I take advantage of educational facilities I when they are offered is allowing the | child to commit moral and material sui cide for himself, direct murder of the collective chances of civilization to re cord advancement.” There are men and women who hold a grudge against their parents because they valued the “almighty dollar” more than the minds of their children. One man told me that he had received more than one thrashing because he would take a book to the field. One young woman told me that her brothers left home as soon as they could and worked their way through college, but she had to stay and keep her mother from work ing herself to death’. But on the other hand, there a^e hundreds who do not want to attend school and their parents will not make them, and others who put them to work. It takes a lot of determination and moral strength to keep on year after year and see that a child, who does not want to go to school, learns his or her lessons. I must confess there have been cases where I didn’t see how the mother, for the burden usually falls on her, could keep it up. But there is one blessing, one does not have to borrow trouble—it’s just today’s lessons and attendance that must be looked after; tomorrow will come, but today well- grounded, helps tomorrow. “Hope springs eternal in the human breast.” And maybe things will brighten. Just now a great hue and cry is made by the vice commission. Far be it from me to cast aven a pabble in their way, but they cannot make figs grow on thistles and the secret of the downfall of girls and men is the lack of a Christian edu cation. Have the mind so trained that when they see the right they will stick to it. That character is made minute by minute, and that immature minds should not be trusted out of the home circle. A judge in Atlanta, and one in New York, last week annulled marriages in which the girls were uiujer sixteen and the boys under twenty-one. I think that the man who marries such couples should serve a term in jail, not pay a fine but go to jail. They are always runaways and may get a friend to buy the license, thus not letting the clerk see their youthfulness; but 'the man who marries them has to come face to face with them and has’ a chance to judge for himself. What do such cou ples know about life’s responsibilities? But I must not begin on that subject; this Chat is growing too long. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. TWO HONEST CONFESSIONS Dear Mis? Thomas: I am going to confess to you that I have been writing a spring poem. Don't hold up your hands in horror: I am as sorry for it as I can be, and I promise not to do so anv more—unless, oh, unless I just can’t help myself. But I’m going to play Adam. Why can’t we inherit some of Adam’s charac teristics? I am, anyway, and say that Miss Thomas is responsible because you told us about your garden and chickens. Then, a poor, de luded robin came and chirped in the maple under inv window. Other signs of spring multi plied themselves, my folks painted the house and I ruined my best dress as usual. Then came the punishment. Such a storm, and hail and all sorts of wintry weather, ihe winds howled and their shrieks took me quite # off my spirted Pegasus and now I plod .aiong and try to be humble. . . , - Who in this crowd believes in ghosts?

The Sherrods had also known St. Elmo a long time, but as he had also bene Raveling Asia and Africa, be had not attended a single house party at their Virginia place tHev lSd he attended one, the last one, that they had given at their White Mountain home, five years before. Grace Sherrod was known as a successful matchmaker and in fact, she was successful beyond a doubt for no less than two couples whom she introduced last year at her house party were married during the fall. From the moment that she introduced “Miss Billy” to ‘‘St. Elmo,” none of the others of the party had a look-in on either one. They were perfectly devoted to one another. Shy played tp him and he was content. He took her rowing and she was content. The two weeks’ duration of the house party was over before they knew it had hardly begun and when ‘‘Miss Billy” boarded the Pullman of the tralu with the rest of the party that were headed north, she still heard his last words ringing through her hend. “In two weeks, Billy, • I’ll be in Massachu setts and when I come back to Tennessee, I’ll bring you back with me.” And Miss Billy had answered, “Yes, dear- Don’t, Elmo. Someone might be looking.” Two weeks later St. Elmo presented him self at “Castle Craneycrow,” Billy’s home, near Boston, and the result was that a date for the marriage was agreed upon. The wedding would occur Just ns soon ns Billy’s only rliving relative, an aunt, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” came homo from her American sight-seeing trip. Mrs. Wiggs was accompanied on her trip by four of her friends, “Miss Innocenco,” “Lorna Doone.” “Torn Sawyer” and “Truxton King.” "The Five Friends” had had n great trip so far and had enjoyed very much tho many scenes that they had passed through. In a letter to Billy, Mrs. Wiggs wrote that she fairly loved "The Garden of Allah.” Hbo said that it was u fairy place on earth. She also added that she liked what was left of San Francisco. One whole page of her letter was devoted to eploiting “Where tho Trail Divides.”, Another page was devoted to Happy Hawkins,” whom she described us u happy-go-lucky kind of a chap.

As many people think its odor rather strong and rank, , a I gathered each one as it came and placed It in the bank. I planted Dogwood after that, and on each Dogwood tree There blossomed little puppies just as cunuiug ns could be. Their bark would sound for miles around, but ♦logs must have their day, Although I grieve to state that many people ran away. But when the Pussy Willows bloomed and kitties mowed end* purred. The garden grew so noisy that it really seemed absurd. So I decided quickly on the one thing that I could do— My plant I’d lay for beasts of prey and turn it into a zoo# I planted Daude Lions, but, believe me, when they came They never growled a little bit, but acted rather tame. The striped Tiger Lilies that I thought would growl and roar Grew meekly near Horse Chestnut trees behind the kitchen door. ’Twas a very funny garden and a funny zoo, I grant For the only thing tbat paid me was the Penny royal plant IRENE ELLIOT BENSON. (Republished by request. A clever thing to learn for an encore.) Beverly was wpitng the names of Billy’s friends to whom invitations to the wedding were to be sent and Billy was drafting a copy of the imitation. A question from Beverly in regard to the names of some more of her friends caused Billy to look up so suddenly that she knocked over the ink bottle, irrevocably ruining the tablecloth and the latest edition of the invitation. “Now! See what I’ve done,” she exclaimed. “Well, no use to cry over spilled milk. Are you going to give me those names?” “Let me see,” said Billy, jabbing her pen behind her ear, clerkwise, and making a face at Beverly; “we must invite Tollyooly” from London and ‘Jhne Cable’ and ‘Mary Midthrone’ and ‘Susan,’ and, uh—oh. yes, ’Queed’ and, and—” “Don’t forget “The Little Shepherd of King dom Come,’ ” broke in Beverly. “And ‘Freckles.’ And we want ‘The Bishop of Cotton town’ to perform the ceremony,” con tinued Billy. There was Pence for a space zroken only by tbe scratcnmg of Beverly’s pen as she wrote the mimes down as Billy called them out. “The Servant in The House” having cleaned up the table where Billy had spilled the ink, she sat down there again and commenced draft ing another invitation. Looking up suddenly Billy said, “Beverly, be sure and put down ‘The Prodigal Judge’ for an invitation and ‘The Music Master,’ too.” Beverly, who was gazing out of the window dpwn “Ppmander JVValk” quietly obeyed the order. ’Suddenly she smiled. “Billy, have you forgotten ‘The Girl of the Limberlost’ and ‘The Harvester,’ where ‘Mrs. Wiggs’ spent summer before last?” Quietly ignoring the question, Billy made a face at Beverly. “And The Daughter of. Anderson Crow’ and •Polly of the Circus,’ and j-our old fellow’, ‘Ben Blair,’ w retorted Beverly. At this juncture the servant brought in a telegram from Mrs. Wiggs, which read as fol lows “GOLCONDA, Nev., Sept. 4, 1908. “Miss Billy Dona, near Concord, Mass: Train wrecked. Nobody killed except ‘The Man in Lower Ten’ of my car. Very few hurt. Will be delayed several days. Impossible to visit ‘Rosalind at Red Gate’ or to see ‘The House of a Thousand Candles.’ Be sure and send Rosalind my regrets. My address and the rest of the party will be Dogue Hotel, Winnemucca, Nev. Will be home soofl. REBECCA.” For the uext week Bevely and Billy were busy ns they could be, sending invitations and visiting milliners and dressmakers. During this time St. Elmo, accompanied by his uncle, “Silas Strong” made several trips over to see Billy. On one of the occasions Billy and St. Elmo wandered down into the garden and Beverly and Mr. Strong were left to amuse themselves. Passing Into “The Red Room,” they sat down and began talking of the approaching wedding. “It seems to me,” remarked Mr. Strong, “that Elmo and Billy are not as loving as they were at the first of last week.” “Why, what make you think so, Mr. Strong?” asked Beverly m a surprised voice. “Well, that is not exactly what I mean. I mean that St. Elmo is worried. You kuow that he is not half as rich as Billy, though he Das plenty. I believe that on the road to Provi dence me met Mary Rose and the ‘Goose Girl,’ and—” “Don’t dare to insinuate that he is not ‘Tried and True,’ ” interrupted Beverly. Just then a boy brought in a telegram for Miss Billy, and— (To be continued.) JESSE. One can never tell whereto sin will lead him. Rebekah and Jacob didn’t appreciate that their sin of lying would make it necessary for Jacob to leave home, and that she would never see him again. This, however, was the price she paid, in part. I am not sure but that the remorse she suffered and the grief at being separated from the one she loved more than all the world beside had something to do with shortening her life. Jacob paid dearly for his part in the transaction. It wasn’t pleasant, to say the least of it, to have to leave home, and know that if he came back he might be murdered by his brother whom he had outraged. It is bad enough to have to leave home ^for a long period for study or travel, but the circumstances here must have made the journey almost intolerable. And, I’ve no doubt but that such it was for the first three days. JACOB’S DREAM. After he had been traveling that time, according to the Jewish account, of course, he came to Bethel. No doubt ,he had been there before. Certainly he knew all of the holy associations of the spot. Its name means “the house of God,” and wjiile it was very bare and rock-ribbed, it served to turn his thoughts to the God of his father Isaac, and his grandfather Abraham. He must have wondered how the promises to them were going to be fulfilled. He wondered how God could bring the blessings of the inheritance through him who was now an exile from home. He had the birthright, he had the blessing on his head; but he had realized neither in his life, and banished from home, he wondered if he ever would come into possession of the promises. Then there must have whirled through his mind again, as it had been doing many times those days, the enormity of his own sin—against his father, his brother, his mother, himself, his God. He was worn out, too, mentally and physically. He had to leave before daylight each morning to keep secret the direction he was traveling, and to travel after dark for the same reason. *He got a smooth stone for a pillow, and, under the stars, fell asleep, and dreamed. What we dreeam about is what has been on our thoughts during the waking -hours. It is not hard to see therefore, why Jacob dreamed as he did—the lad der, heaven, angels, God. His dream dif- fere in one respect from ours. Ours are usually distortions of our waking thoughts. The mind sees things, but il- logically. Thoughts run riot over the pastures of the mind, and wholly with out order. Jacobs’s was logical and or derly. God answered his questions in his dreams. Unless God had been at the top of the lader, the dream would have been like ours. But from the top God spoke; He answered all qf Jacobs’s questions, and more. He added the promise of His continued presence until—until He had done all that He had promised to do. That was the most gracious promise He had givfen at all. The promise of land, of posterity, of wealth, of blessing oth ers, was not to be compared with the promise of His presence. For without God’s presence none of the others could be accomplished, and if accomplished without it would be only a curse. JACOB’S VOW. When Jacob awaked (I think it must have been in the night yet), he came to a realization of the greatest fact in the experience of a man, the fact of the om nipresence of God. He said, “Surely Je hovah is in this place, and I knew it not.” Notice the tenses. God had been there all the time, but Jacob was only beginning to know it.

Oh! for eyes to see Him, for ears to hear Him speak, for hearts sensitive to His suggestions! My brother, that will be the greatest day in your life when you first realize the presence of God. One of the old saints used to express it thus, Practice the presence of God. You may dwell continually in the conscious pres ence of God if you will submit yourself to Him. He reveals His secrets only to those who fear Him. When you give your life to Him, and obediently follow Him as your Leader, He will show Him self to you in every circumstance of life. The flowers, the calm, the storm, the stress and strain, the triumphant mo ments of your life, the daily routine of business, or of household duties will be effulgent with His presence. You will change Jacob’s words and say of every circumstance, “Surely God is in this place, and I know it, Hallelujah.” The most unexpected places will become the gate of heaven. The remainder of that night Jacob slept a peaceful sleep. Why not, when God was there to protect him? Why not, when he knew God would go with him and bring to pass all the promises He had made concerning him? Why not, when his questions had been answered, and his mind and heart were at ease? In the morning, when he awoke, he took that stone which had been such a hard pillow that he had dreamed, but which had thereby been the key to heaven to him—he took that stone and pointed it upward toward heaven, and poured oil upon it to consecrate it to sacred uses, and called, that Bethel, the house of God. Then he made a vow. If God will be with me, and feed and clothe me, and bring me back again to my father’s house, then Jehovah shall be my God, and of all that He gives me, I will surely give back a tenth. Jacob has been in such bad odor that we have been inclined to criticise this oath of his as that of driving a hard bargain with God. This is an entire misconception of the passage. Ex pressed in our more modern terms what he meant was this. Expressed in oiir more modern terms, what he meant was this: Since God has shown His will ingness to have me, a sinner though I am, and to give me these evidences of His grace, then I accept Him the best I know how as my Lord and Lead.er, and I will acknowledge His ownership of me and mine by paying Him the interest on His investment that He re quires. Before criticising Jacob’s oath of al legiance you had better examine your own heart and see if you'are acknowl edging His ownership of you and all your possessions in as scriptural a way as he did. Jacob was not all that God wanted him to be at that time, but this vision and vow marked the beginning of his upward life, of his ohange from the heel catcher to a “man whom God rules.” (This is what Israel means.) Every man must have his Bethel before his Jabbok. The Laban life in between is unGodlike, but it is on the way. Where are you in your Christian experi ence ? FALLS ASLEEP IN THEATER; MOTHER VAINLY SEARCHES (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MANCHESTER, Ga., April 10.—Last night when the manager of a local the ater was ready to close the doors of the playhouse-for the night, he overlooked a young slumberer who had fallen asleep one one of the front seats. The boy’s mother became very anxious about her son when the night began to grow old, and enlisted the aid of friends and po lice to search for the boy. Of course all efforts to locate him were in vain, for he slept on through the night, and no one in town enjoyed a more refreshing night’s rest, perhaps, than he, for he allowed himself to sleep way over time, which might not have been the case had he been at home.

WOMEN THE WORLD OVER THE WOMEN COUNCILLORS IN THE LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL. BY YIDA SUTTON. While the struggle over the parlia mentary franchise is being so hotly waxed, those opposed declaring that women voting for parliament and being members of. that body will ruin Eng land and be the downfall of the greatest legislative body in the world, the Lon don county council, the next most im portant legislature, is plodding along calmly^enough with women electors and with two women among its 138 members. These women are Miss Henrietta Ad ler (daughter of the late chief rabbi), chosen with J. C. Shephard to represent one of the largest electorates in Lon don as one of the 117 councillors, and Lady Jeune (Lady St. Hellier), elected by the councillors as one of the nineteen aldermen. The county of London is one of the counties of England established by act of parliament in 1888 as units of local government. It has an area of 117 square miles, and takes in.all of London except the historic square mile, the an cient city. • In this area the council has great powers. And the most interesting are those which by recent acts of parliament give it such large control of matters before left to private enterprise or char ity, such as the care of children, mu nicipal housing of the working classes, trade schools, etc. Lady Jeune, who is widely known for her philanthropies, and was in her youth a great social leader, is particularly interested in all that has to do with the care of children, and is a member of the committee having this work in charge. The last report shows that there are 900 county council schools where needy children are fed, and the unquestioned success of the one school clinic established by the council is the ground of her demand for the extension 6f this service to all county schools. Miss Adler, having been for eleven years in educational work, has done most effective service on the school committees. Just now, however, as a. member of the housing committee she is devoting her time to that work. “The council,” said Miss Adler, “has built hundreds of houses for the work ing men in the last few years in such districts as Poplar, Shoreditch, and White Hart Lane, where frightful slums are replaced by comfortable dwellings, at very low rents, one room with scul lery and lavatory renting for three and six (81 cents). But now we have an un dertaking bigger than any of these* We are cleaning a large area in South wark, the neighborhood, where the fa mous Tabard Inn of Chaucer stood; its foundations may indeed still be seen not far from the site of the old Glo^e, London’s first theater. A park of five acres and homes for 500 families ad joining will replace the centuries old houses. I have made a fight, too. to secure baths in every house, which is something of a departure. “The work of various reform meas ures does not go ahead as rapidly as the progressive party, now in a minori ty in the council, would like to have it. The leader of the moderates, Cyril Jack- son, seems chiefly concerned with re ducing the rates. The moderates even discontinued the twenty council steam ers plying the Thames from Greenwich to the Tower, when they were just in a way to pay on the investment. “The leader of our party,” continued Miss Adler, “has a comprehensive scheme of reform, which aims at the unification of London and including in the county the ancient city, with the venerable office of lord mayor as a county office; and* moreover, establish ing a uniform tax rate, to replace the present cumbersome system, which re sults often in the largest rating in the poorest districts. “We wish to see the workers have a chance and to make the land pay its proper share of the cost of govern ment, so that there may be plenty of money to place London where it should be, in the front rank as to its municipal system, and that it cannot be said, as it frequently is today, that London is behind many of our progressive pro vincial cities.” Miss Adler was the first woman elected to the council when three years ago women were made eligible. She comes up f?r re-election in March and from the evidence of her constituents, who have wstched her work with ap preciation, hei* return is assured. Lady Jeune as an alderman is'en titled to three years further office. Norma!
