“Georgia Day" In The State
Schools. i
“Georgia Day” is hercaft-’r to
be celebrated in the public schools
of tips state on the 12th of each
February, as the result of a law
enacted by the recent general
assembly designating that date*
lor such purpose.
Ti a measure was introduced bv
Senator John M. Slaton, at the
request of the Georgia Dav com¬
mittee of the American Revel"
tion.
Before and following the bill’s
introduction, the committee, of
winch Mrs. .lohn M. Graham, of
Jf arietta, is chairman, was tireless
in educational work among the
legislators, with the happy effect
of its ebactment into law.
Bv the terms of this measure,
the 12th of each February is set
aside to be commemorted m the
common schools of the state as
the annivasary ol the landing of
t he first colonists in Georgia under
(Oglethorpe.
The state school commissioner
Is instructed to cooperate with
the county school superintendents
in devising such ceremonies, in
eluding songs, recitat ons and ad
dresses by prominent citizens, as
will impress the importance of the
day upon the plastic minds of tne
children, ami school them in accu
iate information regarding the
great historical events and chatac
ters of this state.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution are to be com mended
for their persist iu*e in seeking to
have the celebration fixed in law.
One univerrally observed occasion
of this nature will unquestionably
be as more instructive value to
the school children of the state

Osteopaths Bill Sfgnad By
Governor.
Shortly before 2 o’clock
morning Governor Brown
gave bis aprova! to the osteopaths
bill, and the bill creating a new
judge of the suderior court for At

In signing the osteopathic
measure, Governor Brown said he
had given due consideration to
both the opposition to it and those
who favored it. He came to the
conclusion that it was his duty to
approve the measure, and he did
so.

A Wcman in High Position.
Hie encroachment ot women
upon the pre eminently responsi¬
ble positions presumah.y mo nop
oliZ'id by men is significantly em¬
phasized by tne recent action
the city of Chicago m choosing
J/rs. Ella Flagg Young as super¬
intendent ol its public school sys¬
tem at an annual salary* of
000 .
Mrs. Young has long been iden
tilled with the public school sys¬
tem in Chicago and lias given evi¬
dence of managerial ability of the
most advanced order.
When her name was first pro¬
posed as superintendent of all
schools, the customary protest
went up that a post of such ex-
treme power and respoiunoility
should be held bv a man, and
many of the business men
and politicians of the Windy C itv
fought the innovation aggres-
siveiv.
Yu the end, however, the par-
tisans of J/rs. Young
They pointed out that she nad
manifested more adaptability for
progress, tkorougness and impar-
twditv ihan anv male directing ol
fkvr in Hu* h'storv of < lncago
schools, and that since she had
shown these desirable
lions in a subordina e position, it
was only just that, she should be
given the opportunity to exem¬
plify them in connection with the
entire system.
There is no reason why, ulti..
raatelv, other women throughout
America should pot piafch the
•acliievmcnt of J/rs. Young. Ip
the matter id common educati n',
women have shown themselves in
comparably the superior of men.

sults than m tie instructors, win e

Such equipment is a splendid
groundwork for positions of the

women seem better able, also, to
keep education seperated from
small and deleterious politics, the
experiment at Chicago will attract

Nsw Pension Laws.
Dear .1 u'lgc: —
1 hasten to advise von at t';e
earliest day possible after the ad¬
journment of the General Ar-sem
bly of the status ot the legislation
presented affecting the Pension
laws.
The bill to regulate and fix the
fees of the Ordinaries lor their
pension work passed. It allows a
lec of $1.00 annually ior each pen
gioner on rolls the rolls* ^Z’hose lie paid on the j
indigent aietq hv
the county out of the pauper
fund; those on the disabled and
first class widows rolls are to be
pant out of Hieir annual pension.
The bill that passed the House
of Representatives by a vote of
129 to 7 to put in force the new
Constitutional amendment that
provides a pension for all Confed¬
erate soldiers, and the widows of
Confederate soldiers married prior
to the 1st of January, 1870, not
worth over 1500 dollars, was at a
hate hour Tuesday night tabled
in the appropriation committee
ol the Senate, thereby refusing to
report the bill back to the Senate
that it might ho read the second
time and go to the Calendar for
its passage on the last dav of the
session. This action of the com*’
mittee cairies the bill over as un¬
finished business to the session of
lplO. I am sure the bill would
have passed in the Senate had it
come to a vote.
Therefore, no change has been
made that affects the present pen
s:on laws. You can use the
blanks as heretofore, and if you
have none, order you a supply at
once, that all who desire to apply
for a pension under the present
law may make and file tneir appli
cations in this office before Oct. 1
next. Yours respectfully,
J. YV. Lindsey, Tension Oom’er.
