Educational Matters.
Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 25.—The col
lege man has eloquent figures to
suoport his contention that he can
hold his own with the outside
world, according to Georgia edu
cators who are getting ready for
the fall terms of the various edu
cational institutions.
Statistics made public here to
day show that the college gradu
ate’s chance of making good is ten
times better than is that of the
high school graduate; it is nearly
29 times better than is that of the
elementary school graduate and
927 times better than that of the
individual witnout any schooling
whatever.
It is very true that sometimes
the educated man fails in his un
dertakings, but this cannot always
be charged against his education,
says Dr. H. J. Pearce, president of
Brenau college, noted school for
girls at Gainesville, who is prob
ably oue of the best informed men
on educational matters in the
Southern states.
“It is, as a rule," continued Dr.
Pearce, "the man is to blame
rather than the learning that he
has acquired. It is also true that
sometimes unlettered men make
distinct successes in life, and this
as with the educated man in fail
ure, is not responsible for his suc
cesses, but is rather due to native
ability, earnestly and persistently
applied. It is not because of the
man’s ignorance that he succeeds.
It is a foregone fact that in all
instances the man of ability will
succeed when the man without it
will fail. This is true whether
educated or not; but it is a gener
ally accepted fact that the educated
man of ability has greater chance
of success than the uneducated
man of ability, this because of the
fact that the uneducated man is
better equipped for the work be
fore him than is the other. Thus
it is generally conceded that the

How Governor Hardwick
“Got By.”
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16. —Now that
the 1921 Georgia Legislature is a
i thing of the past, comments are in
order as to how the new governor,
i Hon. Thomas W. Hardwick, “got
by,” to use a familiar term.
Frankly, according to those who
are making observations on the
subject, it was reconstructive
statesmanship that Governor Hard
wick had to invoke uncompromis
ingly in the get-away of his ad
ministration.
He had to employ some tools,
perhaps, that he would not have
chosen as an original thing; he
had to shut his ears gently but
firmly to the pleading of very near
and very valued friends; he, hav
ing hitched his wagon to one
bright and particular star—to make
the state appropriate only as it
could fairly pay —stuck to the trial
to the end.
“You may pick flaws in Hard
wick,” said an Atlanta newspaper
man; "he is not always right, in
my view of things. He does not
hunt every time w’ith the sort of
gun I would employ. But he’s an
almighty good hunter, at that, and
has bowled over some big game j
in his time.
“He has convictions and the
courage to stand by them —and I
like it. And he unquestionably is
wholly able and resourceful.
“Where the' dividing line be
tween politics and statesmanship
precisely is, I do not know —nor
does any man. Hardwick is about
as fine a mixture of political strate
gist and statesman as I ever saw.
I’ll say he is anyway.”
educated man has a decided advan
tage over the uneducated one.
Reports from the various col
leges of the state, particularly the
institutions for girls like Brenau,
which draws students from all
parts of the United States and
foreign countries, indicate a rec
ord-breaking attendance this fall.

* Relishing a meal puts a fellow in a good humor (the ladies are alwas that way.)
Without meat there is always a feeling of something lacking. And if you have
saved meat, and it is not of the best, the relish is not there.

relish—that outs you in a good humor—that keeps you in the pink of condition.
Tne quality of the meat you eat is more important than the quantity.
It has QUALITY if bought from us.
