ENROLL CHILDREN'S NAMES IN THE BOOK OF MEMORY The Children of the South, through the children's founders roll of the great corvfederate memorial at Stone Mountain, arc mobiizing the hosts of the confederacy again. The gray soldiers, long dead but forever re membered, are gathering again invis ibly in the great book of memory, where their names are being written by the love and devotion of their grandchildren and their great grand children* There is no sound of martial music in the air. Fife and drum are still rtnd their marching feet make no siriund ad they come together once twriin in History's greatest dirine, but 1 throughout the south ; s felt a stirring thrill of pride as re 'tory evokes the pictures of the past. One little girl, Virgi-ia Webb, of Macon, sent in her name and that of Augustus Burr with the brief, inspir ing powerfully simple story: “He was shot down as he picked up the flag—and was carried to a north ern prison—and never heard of any more." Two lines and yet it drew a picture for the mind that thrilled the heart: two lines and yet they tell a whole (story of courage, devotion and sacri fice; two lines so simply worded but so full of the feedings of the little girl, to whom “the flag” meant so much that unconsciously she wrote ihe word with capitals. She was proud of that gray hero who passed into thp unknown. An,d so. are all the children proud, both of their confederate heroes and of the privilege that has been given them of enrolling their names and their oWn in' thfe’ great book of mem ory at' Stbrit Mountaiii. The time 1 is drawing near for the big announcement o’s names on April 29th —Memorial dk£ ' Everybody who is aiding''in tfie en rollment of the children', all the in dividuals who wish to enroll their children’s names, are urged to send in the application blanks and contri butions immediately in order that the names may be properly classified and divided into city, state and county groups. Every child’s name should be in that book" of memory. Every con federate ancestor can be memorial ized through the children’s contribu tions, which was purposely placed as low as for each confederate name in order that every name might be enrolled. Send names and contributions now to the Children’s Founders Roll, 504 Hurt Building, Atlanta, Ga. BAPTISTS LEAD IN TEACHER TRAINING In the awarding of 67,567 seals in teacher training work during 1923 by the Baptist Sunday school board, rep resenting the successful completion of that many books in teacher-training work by individual teachers, southern Baptists have set a new record for themselves and every other denomina tion, according to Ur. P. E. Bur roughs, educational secretary of the board. This is considerably more than the awards made by all other report ing denominations combined, it is said, as this total was found to be 54,835. The awards by other denominations during the year were as follows: Southern Methodists, 28,542; North ern Methodists, 10,961; Northern Baptists, 8,018; Southern Presbyter ians, 2,592; Northern Presbyterians, 1,200; United Brethren, 800; and Con gregationalists, 235. Distribution of the teacher training awards by southern Baptists among the several states of the Southern Baptist Convention territory was as follows: Alabama, 2.918; Arkansas, 1,386; District of Columbia, 16; Flor ida, 1,615; Georgia, 5,822; southern Illinois, 1,893; Kentucky, 5,832; Louis iana, 2,534; Maryland, 291; Mississip pi, 5,642; Missouri, 3,118; New Mex ico, 569; North Carolina, 5,816; Okla homa, 4,204; South Carolina, 2,044; Tennessee, 3,225; Texas, 13,790; Vir ginia, 6,369, and on the foreign fields, 483 One interesting phase of the Bap tist teacher training work is that it is not confined to the city churcher and schools. There is an increasing num ber of well-organized country Sunday schools and several of them have an attendance of more than 1,000 pupils.

F. J. Cheney i- Cw., Toledo, O. Immunity For "Glorious Larceny” We need a new classification in the criminal code If a man steals five dollars it is petit larceny. If he steals one hundred dollars it is grand larceny. Seemingly, however, if he steals one or two hundred million dollars it is glorious larceny and we have no classification for that. The govern ment goes to enormous expense and clutters up the issue for years upon years before anvone faces the bar of justice, when a gigantic theft is alleged. Steal a loaf of bread and you are up the river in two days. Steal hundreds of millions and you can travel the ocean of easy life for the rest of your days without disturbance. The present operations in Washington in relation to the oil situation present a spectacle calculated to produce more •Li ® vlßm than any insideous propaganda that could pos sibly be conducted by the reds either in the open or secretly Grave charges, and graver disclosures are twisted into politi cal issues, each man scrambling for position, each man trying to capitalize the situation for himself or for his party until the performance has become disgusting. The issue has been lost to sight. Everyone is beating the tom tom to lead the public mind down a dozen side lanes. The country has been told that the United States govern ment has been robbed of property worth $200,000,000, and that the robbery was made possible by the connivance of some public officials and the bribery of others. If these be facts, then there is a plain, straightforward American course that can be pursued. Under the present system of probe and side probe, charge and counter-charge, the issues will drag along for years; so long, in fact, that the public with its short memory will have forgotten all about the matter. If the government in Washington does not know how to approach the problem, let the readers of this newspaper write to the President and ask him to call a Special Federal Grand Jury. Ask him to have the evidence placed before that Grand Jury and indictments obtained. Then the issue can be tried in a prompt and orderly manner and the atmos phere cleared at once. Doheny, Sinclair, Fall and anyone else charged so openly with looting the American domain surely will welcome such a course if as innocent as they in sist, and if they are not, then the sooner they are brought to Look the better. The Michigan Supreme Court did well to uphold the right of the State Normal School to expel one of its girl pupils for smoking cig arettes.
