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.

SAFETY BankofStockbridq e THE BA HA THAT BACAS THE FARMED = DEPOSITS INSURED = 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.
