VOL. II.
HIGHER EDUCATION.
We had tho pleasure Wednesday
night last of hearing President G.A.
Niinnally, and President Warren
Candler address the members of the
General Assembly upon the subject
of higher education in Georgia. Both
of them expressed themselves as not
being opposed to the State Univer
sity at Athens, but desirous of see
ing the State pul it on a higher plane
of efficiency than it has ever been.
The burden of their argument was
that the State should more properly
look m its appropriation of money to
the education of the common people.
It ,vas this class of children that
needed a common English education
more than the rich boys of the State
needed the aid of the state. The
spending of twelve to fifteen tbous
and dollars on the branch colleges
had proven a failure, so far as bring
ing boys to the State Uni
versity was concerned. They argued
that the better and only way to get
boys to the State Universith was to
build the common schools which
would prepare boys for desiring and
seeking higher training. This was
the source of feed for the University
as it now is. It was also argued that
the religious denominational colleges
in the State did not ask for State ap
propriation, but only asked that no
legislation bo Lad that was unjust to
them. Fi-r the State to put a branch
college in every district in the State
was not just to the denominational
schools, and hence the protest
against such course. It was &h@wn
how many good, and able men these
schools have sent out to fill the
‘-'igher walks of life. And it was al
so t'reiwn that these denominational
schools quipped and sent out by for
a larger in- 1 ? ( ,ritv of. teachers while
the Stale Eniversify sent out law
yers and business men to cripple the
denominational colleges, was to cut
off the supply of teachers, and teach
ers who were educated under the in
fluence of religious colleges.
Judging from the applause given
the speakers when they referred to
the needs of the common people, the
present legislature will probably in
cline very greatly to the help of the
common schools, rather than the col
leges and Universities so-called in the
State.
The idea prevails also, and with
much of truth in it, that the Stato
school law with its inadequacy of
money lias operated to the driving of
people from from the country to the
towns in order to educate their chil
dren. By providing more money,
scboolt of character could be re-es
tablished in the country districts and
thereby stop the influx into the
towns. These are some of the more
important suggestions made by Mr.
Nnnnally president of Mercer Uni
versity, and Mi. Candler prtecident of
Emory College.
Just beyond the Clarke county
line,in Oconee, lives a' little boy
about 8 years oid, who has been
blind from bis birth. He has a most
marvelous memory, and can with
remarkable acc uraey tell of events
which occurred when he was only
two or three years old. in fact, be
rarely ever forgets anything that is
said in Ins presence. His mother
teaches hiru Sunday-school lessons,
and he can answer very corretly
any question which may be asked
bim concerning any of the lessons
which he has ever recited. Hois a
general favorite with p 11 who know
him. and has many friends wh o
sympathize with him in his sad
affliction.

Sail Bernardino, Cal., beeps clear
of tramps by holding the vagabonds

minutes and then ordering them to

time in obeying.
Albany has the only lawyer in
the state, doubtless, who has uc
shingle out. Judge D. II. Popo has
nothing whatever to indicate his
professional abodo. When asked
sometimo since why it was that he
didn’t have out a sign, ho said:
•‘Well, 1 never liked to advertise.
If a person is in search of a lawyer
he wiil find one, and if in search of
any particular one he will just as
surely fiud that one.”
At Atlnnta two or three days ago
Station house Keeper John Joiner
was sitting out in front of tho
guard bouse when an old negro man
and a liltlo negro child came by.
The child’s thin black legs were
bent after the fashion of pot hooks,
and nine people out often that saw
the child would stop to stare at its
bow legs. ‘‘That your child, uncle?’’
asked tho eta ouhouso beeper.
“Vessel’. Leas’ hit oughter be,”
•‘Mighty bowlegged,’’ “Vesscr,”
admitted the old man, “hit does
look sorter dat way, boss.”
“Natural deformity?” ‘‘No, sah,”
quickly, “he was jes born d'at way.”
