We want every Coffee county
citizen to hear Dr. Soul’s ad
dress which will be delivered in
Douglas next Thursday. Dr.
Soule never says anything un
less he says something. He
knows his business and can tell
it in a very entertaining way.
This is one of the great treats
of Industrial Day.
Teaching the Most Meagerly Remuner
ated of All the Professions
By CHARLES F. 1 HWING, President of Western Reserve University
Education is proclaimed as the melting pot for fusing European
peoples into genuine Americans. Education is declared to be the
common denominator of the fractional parts of our national being.
EDUCATION IS EULOGIZED AS THE FORCE WHICH UNITES
AND INSPIRES ALL OTHER FORCES. MUCH TRUTH LIES
IN THESE METAPHORS. EDUCATION IS THE GREATEST
FORCE IN AMERICAN CIVILIZATION.
We eulogize education and praise the American school system.
% But we debase the teacher by making the teaching profession the
Poorest paid of all professions.

LE+ THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TRANSFER THEIR ENTHUSIASM
AND PRIDE IN THE FACT OF AMERICAN EDUCATION TO THE FACTOR
IN AMERICAN EDUCATION—TO THE TEACHERS.

Let there be a campaign started in every commonwealth, from Maine
to Washington, that as there shall be no village without an adequate
schoolhouse, so shall there be no schoolhouse without an adequately paid
schoolteacher. Adequate pay would in many cases be twice what it
now is.
Modern Warfare Demands Technical Ex
fceniv
perts, Not Untrained Volunteers
By ROBERT M. JOHNSTON, Assistant Professor of History,
Harvard University
IN such an age of technical accomplishment as this it is curious to re
flect that apart from Germany and in a less degree three or possibly
four other European countries war is a comparatively unknown sub
ject.
It was natural enough that in the old education, now in course of be
ing relegated to the scrap heap, it should not have occupied a place.
I But in the last one hundred and fifty years conditions have changed
with lightning rapidity. Economic progress, the increase of wealth, the
development of rapid communication and the nationalization of armies
have created a condition in which war concerns a large proportion of the
population directlv, and indirectly the whole population, AND l-'ROM
ITS SIZE AND COMPLEXITY IT DEMANDS AN INTELLEC
TUAL TRAINING AND EFFORT GREATER THAN THAT PUT
INTO ANY OTHER PHASE OF HUMAN ACTIVITY.
The most utterly and perniciously false of the many false ideas pre
vailing in this country on this subject is that you can wage modern war
bv calling out millions of volunteers. The fact i« that the more volun
teers we raised the more dangerous would our situation become in terms
of modern war, in part for financial reasons.
•t * *
OUR PRESENT NEED IS NOT FOR MILLIONS OF VOLUNTEERS,
BUT THOUSANDS OF TECHNICAL EXPERTS IN THE ART OF WAR AS
IT IS PRACTICED IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
The Douglas Chamber of Com
merce continues to put in its
work. Something will drop next
week. Listen.
* * *
State politics is beginning to
hum. That is you can hear the
jingle from the Atlanta end of
it, which is always the begin
ning.
* * *
Industrial Day next Thursday
promises to be a great day for
Douglas and Coffee county. Get
your float ready and get in the
mile line that will start at the
fair grounds and come this way.
* * *
The foot ball season is on and
our boys will encounter the
Blackshear team on the local
field next Monday afternoon. Let
the people of Douglas encourage
this first game with their pres
ence.
* * *
No, Otto, we did not mean
Hazlehurst, it was Baxley we
intended to say. However, your
accusation against Douglas will
stand until you come over some
time, then we will investigate
together.
* * *
In the rush and hustle of
things while cotton is on the
jump and Industrial Day is ap
proaching, let us not forget the
fact that the Coffee County Fair
is just about five weeks off.
* * *
We call special attention this
week to our line of advertising
matter. There is not a country
weekly in Georgia that will car
ry and heavier and better class
of advertising than appears in
today’s issue of The Enterprise.
Verily, there is a reason.
* * *
The quarterly bank state
ments in this issue show a re
markafle increase in deposits
over the last quarter’s state
ments. There is of course more
money in the land, but Douglas
and Coffee county bangs always
make splendid showings at any
and all times.

: World Citizenship :
i Would End For!
; All Time the Hor- ;

• a
• By DARWIN P. KINGSLEY, Presi- j
dent New York Life Insure *
■ ance Company •
ALTHOUGH it is unprotected
/A and even unestablished by
any constitutional declara
tion, nevertheless there is such a
thing as a world citizenship, and
this European horror can be ended
and so ended
that it will nev
er be repeated
only by a defi
nite declaration
of that citizen
ship.
We have in
our own consti
tution a model
for the world
in this particu
lar at least —
viz, a citizen
ship which rec
onciles and con
trols all the
conflicts of less-
It
vjBBBSa - '
er citizenships. If we finally be
come a mediator between the Euro
pean belligerents what folly for us
to attempt a mediation which aims
merely to patch up the usual form
of peace expressed in treaties,
which, like all treaties of peace hith
erto made, will merely express the
terms of a trade between power and
necessity.
WE MUST DO SOMETHING BET
TER THAN THAT, AND OUR OWN
FORM OF GOVERNMENT SUG
GESTS WHAT WE SHOULD DO.
We should offer to mediate on the
basis of a world embracing federa
tion in which this world citizenship
shall be recognized. In this federa
tion (not confederation) the central
authority should operate directly on
the individual and not on the na
tions as corporations.
Civilized People and Not
Savages Have the
Better Teeth
By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D„
Professor of Medicine, New
York Polyclinic Hospital
THE great demand of the teeth is
that they be kept clean, and
for this purpose nothing has
ever been invented to equal that
modern means of grace—the tooth
brush,
SO FAR AS THE OVER
WHELMING MASS OF THE EVI
DENCE GOES, NOTHING YET
HAS BEEN INVENTED TO
EQUAL THE TOOTHBRUSH.
There may be savages or peasants
who have really perfect teeth, but
they have never yet been discover
ed, and the myth of their perfec
tion has never survived the estab
lishment of a dental clinic among
them.
TO TAKE THE SITUATION AS
WE ACTUALLY FIND IT, THE
WHITEST, EVENEST, MOST BEAU
TIFUL AND ENDURING SETS OF
TEETH TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE
IN THE WORLD TODAY ARE
RIGHT HERE IN THESE UNITED
STATES AMONG PEOPLE WHO
HAVE HAD TOOTHBRUSHES AND
GOOD DENTAL CARE FROM THEIR
CHILDHOOD YEARS.
Military Training Should
Be Taught In
Colleges and Schools
By ARTHUR WOODS, Police Com
missioner of New York City
WARFARE, we have learned, is
an applied science, and it is
one of which every male
American should have some knowl
edge.
As a result of my experience at
the recent Plattsburg (N. Y.) train
ing camp I strongly advocate the
establishment of military training
in all colleges and schools through
out the country, even down to the
grammar schools.
Given this and let a certain num
ber of young men put in some time
each summer at camps similar to
that at Plattsburg, which should be
established in various sections of
the country, and we would eventual
ly have ten or fifteen million men
with officers who could be depended
on if needed.
