ATHENS IS IN HER ELEMENT.
Today tho old city of Athens is in a typical mood, with a typical atmos
phere, and entertaining a representative body of guests from every section
of the state. Beginning the commencement week today the university city-
takes on the real commencement appearance. The streets are full of visitors
not strangers, for they are all known to Athens people and they all know
Athens people. Tile homes aro entertaining gufsts—for Athens homes have
an old-fashioned, hospitable way of being ready for guests at any time and a
special readiness for them on the gala week of the year.
Athene is in her element on commencement occasions. Athens is the
center of culturo and that there should be an incoming of many of those in
terested in things uplifting at this season accentuates this quality of Athens-
peculiar temperament. Athens Is the social center of the state and with a
delightful social atmosphere all the year round the culmination of the year's
activities in this phase of life is in the high-tide of commencement week.
With education in the air; with visitors everywhere; with the social life
for the time uppermost—Athfns is at her best, and in her natural element
this week.

AN ALUMNI BUREAU FOR GEORGIA.
The board of visitors who reported their inspection to tho trustees of
the University of Georgia yesterday recommended among other needed
things, a department of publicity to carry the constantly developing intelli
gence of what the University is doing in its various departments to the peo
ple of the state.
Yesterday an alumnus of the University of a recent class appeared be
fore the trustees and made a telling speech In favor of the establishment ot
an alumni bureau for the University—to collect data concerning all the old
boys who have attended school here, to perpetuate this collection of data, to
constantly revise it, and to keep in touch with the men who go out into the
world, tracking them and reminding them ever and anon of the alma mater
who is still watching over them and taking interest in them
These are complementary suggestions, fitting suggestions—fitting one
into the other. The alumni bureau is one of the most effective and thorough
publicity means. The home-letter that goes to the former Georgia student
the alumnus, keeping his interest warm and preventing the crust from form
Ing over his love for “old Georgia." is tho best means of reviving and keep
Ing alive his activity for the university which helped him In his start in life
Tho bureau will make public the doings of the University through the per
son of a former student—and will reach five effectively where the mere cir
cular or bulletin or newspaper story will casually touch only one.
The alumni bureau ought to be established; a good man employed and
placed in charge in Athens with a room fitted up for his work, here in reach
of all the records and in actual contact with all the correspondence centering
here from the old boys, where the annual alumni gatherings occur and pil
grimages arc made almost every day in the year by some one or more of the
Georgia boys of the years ago.
The alumni bureau will pay for itself many times over

THE INHERITANCE TAX IN GEORGIA.
It Is quite likely that one of tre new tax measures to be pushed in th-
coming session of the legislature of Georgia will be that of the inheritance
tax. Many states in the Union now have inheritance tax laws and in a num
ber of instances the state revenues are largely increased through this tax.
Only recently the Astor estate paid over three million dollars into the treas
ury of the state of New York.
While it could not be expected that such a law would bring into the Geor
gia treasury any such great sums of money, it would doubtless yield a con
siderable income and ina measure replenish the treasury.
There Is considerable opposition to the passage of a inheritance tax In
Georgia, it being pointed out that a much better way to reach the wealth of
the state would be through an income tax, which could be levied in addition
to the federal income tax. This proposition also has its opponents.
The Georgia legislature has not made up its mind at all on the tax pro
position, and will no doubt consider quite a number of ways in which the
state's revenues may be increased, among them the income tax and the in
heritance tax.
One thing is pretty well agreed on and that Is that there will have to he
a revision of the tax laws of the state. Just what kind of revision, however,
will be brought about remains to be seen.
CHEAPER SCHOOL BOOKS.
Representative McCreary, of Schley county, gives notice that he will in
troduce and have passed if possible during the coming session of the legisla
ture, a bill to provide for the printing of common school and high school
text books by the state and the furnishing of these books to school children
at cost. He gives comparative figures showing that Georgia is paying three
and four times as much for school books as Ontario, Canada, where such a
law as ho proposes for this state is in existence.
The school children of the state of Georgia should not be required to
pay big profits to publishing houses for their text books. We hav e made no
study in detail of this question, and are not prepared to venture an absolute
opinion on tho subject, but if it Ib a fact that big profits are being charged
on school books, the legislature should find it out and apply the proper
remedy.
The saving for each school child might be small, but the aggregate for
the entire state might be a considerable sum.
It is doubtful whether It would be wise for the state to go Into the busi
ness of publishing school books, but if the publishing houses are receiving
too much profit on their books, it may be necessary for the state to take
some steps to remedy the situation.

—D. O. BICKERS.
By Sylvanus Morris, Dean of the Law
Department, University of Georgia.
"Jurisprudence is the philosophy of
law, the science which treats of the
principles of positive law and legal re
lations. It is that science which has
for its function to ascertain the prin
ciples on which legal rubs are based,
so as not only to classify those rules
in their proper order, and show the
relation in which they stand to ono
another, but also to settle the mannei
iu which new or doubtful cases should
he brought under the appropriate
rules. It is more a formal than a ma
terial science."
All law schools teach the principles
i f legal science, and to that extent are
schools of jurisprudence. As the great
ir numter of law students are pros
pective practitioners, the teaching
necessarily has the practice in view.
The time has not arirved, when a
school of pure jurisprudence, for the
academic, philosophical study ot the
science for learning's sake can bo
maintained. But tlie time is ripe for
the establishment of such a school to
meet needs now existent in our eoun
try. The advantages of a training iu
such a school to judges and practi
tioners are apparent and need not b»
discussed.
Our civilization lias reached that
degree of maturity, where specializa
lion is demanded, special training for
the work in hand is imperative. How
ever much we may think that it is not
consouant with our theory of govern
ment, the fact remains that politics is
row a profession. Ill our system of
government lawmakers ought not to
he a class apart, but It is the. condi
lion not the theory with which we
must deal. The need then for a school
ot Jurisprudence, where men, who in
tend to devote their lives to public at
fairs, may receive the absolutely nec
cssarv training, seems indisputable
If judges and practitioners need train
ing in those principles of law which
underlie all good laws to fit them lot
their work, how much more is that
training necessary to the law maker!
A thorough knowledge of the tunc
lions of government, of any and all
forms and varhties: an acquaintance
with the methods adopted hv othef
countries in dealing with problems ol
government and legislation; a sys
tematic study of tho sociological con
ditions of our own and other countries
should at least be tho foundations o!
the education of a statesman.
Further, th- most cursory acquain
tance with the statutes. Federal and
state, discloses the existence of nun:
rrous inharmonious. contradictory
regulations. Leaving out of consider
ation the “freak legislation," the stat
utes confusedly framed, often ungram
matical, and not mentinoing the ex
pense and time required for the courts
to explain and search out the legisla
live intent, we find the body ot stat
ute law not infrequently a patchwork
of temporary expedients. A single In
stance illustrates the point. Every
statutes repeals conflicting laws. II
Is sometimes an almost endless task
to determine what laws and parts o'
laws are repealed through conflict,
■and what laws are not in conflict. The
legal fabric should h - an harmonious
expression of the needs of the statu
and people.
Were it possible then to submit
proposed legislation to a group of stu
dents of jurisprudence many of these
d fects would be avoided, and the
tving in time and money (to put it
on the lowest ground) would be in
calculable. Having in mind tho whole
tody of the law of the state, the laws
in force on the particular subject, and
tlie needs, activities, genius of the
ople of the state, a beginning might
made for framing a philosophir.al
statute, founded on principle, clearly
ipressed, meeting the conditions and
harmonizing with all parts of the body
of the law. The proposed legislation
could be subjected to the Lst of his
tnrical comparison with similar insti
tutions in ail countries, ancient and
modern. Some such system of scru
tiny as here indicated would soon beat
fruit in symmetrical bodies of laws
adapted to the needs of the social or
ganism.
A case directly in point is presented
by the tax laws of our state. Suppose
a group of students and scholars, here
at the University, should subject the
whole matter to careful study and in
vestigation along the lines here sug-
gestid, and formulate a system adapt
ed to the conditions, and meeting tho
requirements. It would, at least, have
the advantage of being based on accu
rate knowledge and of presenting a
cr-mpn hensive view of the situation.
Another thought is suggested. Some
states have codified their laws, others
l ave made what are called codes, and
others have digests. Were thes*
cedes, so-called codes and digests writ
ten by men trained in jurisprudence
and not by committees of eminent
practitioners, the result would justi'y
the maintenance of a school of stu
dents devoting their lives to the re
search examination of legal princi
ples. Tlie harmonizing of laws with
law is a need which today calls for
the work of specialists.

passed at last meeting of City Coun
cil, all water accounts not paid by
