The G. N. and I. College.
That the Georgia Normal and lmltistrial College is
• looked upon as one of the Soi ttli’s foremost educational
institutions, is evidenced by the laj-ge number of teach
ers enrolled here this week to take advantage of the
special courses to be taught during the summer school
season.
The G. N. and I. College has grown steadily for years
and the popularity of the school all along has been such
ns to offlrc omvf 8(1$ seasons cl' depression. Parents
tlmju'fhiout the state have .gone their limits in making
arrangements to have their daughter's obtain an educa
tion lure. While the college Is operated on the most eco
nomical plan, the training given to young women is the
best that can he afforded anywhere in the country These
■facts have caused the educational institution to grow and
prosper in spite of whatever depression that „is experi
enced and its growth is evidence cf its recognized su
periority as a school cf real achievements.
As the years go by the accomplishments of the Geor
gia Normal and Indt etrial College are felt more and more
throughout Georgia and it must b e said that the institu
tion is doing a marvelous work towards the advancement
of education in this state. The actual success of the col
lege ’ responsible for its continued increase in popularity.
Indeed, it is quite true tha: the many young women
recei' mg It heir education at th e G. N. and 1. College are
looke.i upon in their respective communities as criterions
in e '.ucational training. This indisputable fact is suffi-
cient to warrant one placing itmost faith in the accoin
plishments of the college and it shows clearly that it is
serving wonderfully in tha matter of advancing education
in Georgia.
There are two especially attractive features that
. stand out ft remost in connection with the operatior of
the G. N. and I. College. The institution is not only do
ing a wonderful work in the way of affording wonderful
training; it is conducted so economically as to afferd
adimittanoo of daughters of many parents who would not
otherwise be able to provide an education for their daugh
ters. These facts indicate plainly what the college is
dqing uul will continue 1o do for the young women of
Georgia.

The Trend in Politics.
Over in Birmingham a delegation of women a few
days ago w. nt to several candidates who had announced
themselves for the office of sheriff and made demand of
the political platforms of tho varoius candidates. Th?
iL'bjt«. t o‘. the delegation of women was to ascertain ‘or
a certainty whether 1 or not the sheriff candidates wore
members of the newly organiz?d Ku Klux Klan or sym
pathizers of the organization.
It has generally been figured that the voting of wo
men wo Id have but little effect, if any, as to the result-
of elections. That two votes would be cast instead oi
one will amount to the only difference taking place s net
women have been given tire right to assert themselves a
(the pulls, is the expression of many.
A somewhat now light is now being (cast on the po
litical situation and politicians everywhere are com-
mem ng to wonder what is in store for them. In the
case ot 'the questioning of the candidates for county of-
lie in Jefferson county, Alabama, the aspirants were giv
en the opportunity, or rather demanded, to express them
selves as to the principles they believed in. and the dele
gation of women went away without stating their posi
tions and left tbe several candidates to form their own
conclusions as to what stands they had best take in order
to Insure consideration cf the new voters.
It is quite probable that the first ballot to be. cast
by women voters will have less effect on the outcome
of elections than In the elections 4o be held in tlie years
to (■( me. The fact women have liadi placed mam them
the responsibility of casting their ballots affords room
for strong belief that they will comtfieuce to give serious
study ito governmental matters and that with the passing
of time will form firm convictions of their own.
Undoubtedly, it is safe to say that our future office
holders will find it necessary to give more consideration
to the matter of providing facilities for the advancement
f education and the sustaining of issues intended for
the moral uplift of the country.
THE STATE TRAINING SCHOOL
From The Miacou Telegraph.
.Reports that came out of MiUedgevtlle in March of
this year in regard to the achievements of the State Train
ing School for Boys for the year 1921 were unusually sat
isfactory. The farming "was done successfully, the farm
having pa'otLced 2.000 bushels of corn, 30,000 buddies of
fodder. 1,300 gallons of syrup, five tons of velvet 1 beans,
400 bushels of cats, 200 bushels of wheat, 180 hogs, and
beef enough to furnish all the school needed." This
sounds very much as if diversified farming—perhaps, even
scientific farming—was being practiced at the institution.
If the reports be anywhere in ttoj vicinity of accuracy,
tlu group of boys at the school—or somebody—has been
doing excellent work. As result, it is said, the school
has spent less of its maintenance appropriation than any
other st.i:e institution; and not only has it saved $1,000
fr tn its appropriation, which was applied on the school's
debt, hut saved $3,000 in addition, which was devoted to
improvements.
However, it is believed that the school is not render
ing the state the greatest possible service in that it is
not serving all of Georgia’s neglected and deficient boys,
and it is even believed that much more could be accom
plished for the boys who are already at the school. A lar
ger appropriation Is said to be needed, and this matter
will in ull probability be given the proper examination
and whatever attention it deserves by (he coming legis
lature.
It is understood that at present the training school
s able to (take about hne-third of Georgia's especially un
fortunate boys from surroundings that are unwholesome
and not conducive to proper Gaining. The institution is
said to be uble under (present conditions to give these
boys a home where they can be taught the essentials,
ameng which is bodily cleanliness; able to give them
good clothing, comfortable 'beds, and well-balanced food
planned with nn eye as to Its being appetizing as well as
sustaining; able to give them wholesome and helpful
work, schooling,, amusements, and Sunday school and
church advantages; and able to have associated with
these boys and working in their behalf men and women
of good moral and Christian character. The best medical
■attention and nursing are also supplied, it is stated, when
there is need.
What the institution desires to do, and what appar
ently it should be enabled to do, is as fellows; Take all
(he hoys who need to corns to it. Have several cottages
:'or (he boys, with a socially-drained "he se mother" for
ca di cottage. Have machinery and manufacturing plants,
T f onlv on a small scale; a printing press and laundry;
and instructors in these who have had scientific training.
Have an agriculturalist, a’ manual training teacher, and
ii band, instruments and leader. Trained parole officers
sh uld front time to tune visit the paroled boys.
Of c invar, plans and deals such as these cannot bo
worked out . ud.Jenly. They requ re (time and thought
and effort. But they afford the goal toward which the
late and society should work. The school Is already
. hi > to a degree to .teach pi, mbing, carpentry, blacksmith
wc-rk, scientific ana practical farming, gatdening, da vy
ing, cattle and hog raising, although the scientific study
of these is, quite limited. At least, tlhere might be more
of these types of instruction afforded. 1
It is said that out of 130 boys that have been paroled,
approximately seventy-live of this number 1 are doing wt 11,
ten are doing excellently, fifty have not been heard from,
and Ofte n have gone to the bad. This really appears
to be a good lacord, but it seems that provision should 1
he made whereby as many as one-third of those paroled
would not he list (rack of.
One of society’s great difficulties is to properly diag
nose the moral deficiencies of a boy as to tint real causes
«tnd the remedy in each particular case. When this is
done, u great victory will have been won—a definite stride
forward in social progress. While we are reclaiming our
waste lands, we should at the same time (In' all we can
to reclaim our children that have been born or thrust into
a lack of opportunity to know -and practice the better
ways of making a life.
WEEKS SCORES
SOCIAUSN TREND
Urges Closer Contact With
Constitution in University
Address in Cleveland.
Cleveland, O., June 15.—Secretary
of War John W. Weeks declared in
an adless here ThursidUy at the
Western Reserve University that he
was "greatly djsturlbed by the de
parture in recent years by the gov
ernment from the Constitution to
other forms of government which
have a decided tendency towards com
plete social democracy,”
"While 1 have no fear abcut the
ability of our government to endure"
Secretary Weeks said, “I must ad
mit that 1 am very pessimistic about
the result of the present tren-di, which j
I can not but believe is, gradually |
weakening our governmental struc-|
ture and may eventually change its j
character."
Although the United States is
founded on the principle of democ
racy, 'Weeks said an "aetaul demo
cratic government is impossible oe-
cause of Its inability to function.’'
The Constitution, Weeks asserted,
meets the needs of this country as
well today as when it was, written.
•T am firmly convinced.” he de
clared, "that when we have attempt
ed to improve the work of our fore
fathers by amending the Constitution
in Us basic policy of government we
have failed signally.
We have in th’s country
a larger number of reformers, many
oi them professional reformers, who
are rushing about trying to reform
everybody and offering to the ciU-
zens and Congress panaceas guaran
teed to cure all the ailments of the
body politic and many fancied ail
ments which exist only in the minds
(f the promoters ot some new and
untried scheme of government. Of
course, (here are conditions which do
neo . correction, but often the sug
gested cure will result in greater
evil thin the existing evil jt is de
signed to correit. A legislator should
resist all such schemes to the point
c’ being reactionary.”

USE GAS BOMBS TO DISPERSE MOBS
t'Yom the Birmingham Age-Herald,.
Lynching is a blight on American civilization. Near
ly every thoughtful citizen of the country concedes that,
to be a fact. The Oyer anti-lynching hill is unconstitu
tional, and it would be hard to frame a federal law that
cculd be enforced without seriously infringing on tlie
rights of the slates.
Legal authorities frequently permit lynchings because
of their own cowardice or unwillingness to fire on friends
and even relatives who may be in a mob, bent on hang
ing or burning their prisoners.
Why not solve die problem with gas? An ugly mob
was repulsed from a jail in Jackson, Mich., by tear gas,
hut not until after the prisoner hud been spirited away.
The sheriff could' have saved time and wear and tear of
his- patience by using chemicals when the crowd refused
to disperse.
Why not equip every jail with enough gas bombs to
repel an attack? They would be far mere effective than
guns and pistols, an.l officers would be more inclined to
.u,se them promptly because no loss of life would follow.
Gas would take all the mob spirit out cf the most enraged
citizen who ever attempted to storm a jail, and it would
he useful, too, ,n ca. e there was a riot among the pris
oners.
Successful experiments have been made by police in
New Yo k and elsewhere with gas bombs to quell upris
ings and capture desperate criminals. The suffering they
e:nise vii lent, but it is temporary, and not fatal.
