HELPING YOUNG MEN TO FIND THEIR CALLINGS.
It la at onci* significant and logical tbat since Princeton University
has adqpted the tutorial or preceptorial system, It Is regarded by many
sound educators as the best college for hoys In these United States.
The preceptorial system divides up the faculty and the tutors
among the students and gives to each small hatch of students and In
some cases to each student an Instructor who will study tho student's
personality and gifts, and help him to choose the line of studies and
ultimately the career best suited to bis temperament and talents.
Nothing wiser than this baa been developed la our modern system of
education. /
The pity of It Is that It Is not universal. We need It In our Southern
schools and colleges. Our teachers have an even higher work to do than
to merely teach.
The teacher who helps our sons to wisely choose their calling and vo
cation In life has done for them a bettor thing than to fill their heads with
all the Greek roots and Latin atems tbat ever grew rank In the wilderness
of learning.
These eminent gentlemen who fill our college and university chairs
have labored long and diligently for the equipment which baa seemed to
flt them for their work.
And, coming home, after years of toll and study, with their minds
trained and stored. It la natural (though that they should fall Into the an
cient custom of answering the recitation hell, hearing and explaining the
lessons of the day, recording the marks, preparing the examination pa
pers. passing up tho final averages of the student, and sinking'back with
satisfied conscience Into the realm of dutiful complacency.
There Is no blame for these admirable gentlemen-In the past.
But, under this new conception of the larger mission and the higher
duty of the teacher, let us suppose tbat during the sophomore and Junior
years of each student under college supervision, each professor had
mingled wisely and mildly with hie merely scholastic work some thought
ful observation of the young men themselves—of their method, their man
ner, their temperament, their type of mind, and their trend of taste and
disposition—as wise and kindly men can always do with youth.
Then let us suppose that. In the laat half of the Junior year, the presi
dent or chsncellor should announce on three days of every week: "Gentle
men of the faculty, we will omit the lectures on Latin, or Greek, or Mathe
matics, for today, and will spend the two hours assigned to the omitted
branches In a faculty consideration of the Personality and Direction of
the first ten names In the Junior class."
And at the hour named these wise and experienced men. after one or
two years of contact with the students under review, would carefully dis
cuss the talents, temperament and aptitudes of each student, and reach, ao
far aa possible, a concurrent Judgment aa to the business and vocation to-
which each man's natural equipment called him. On the next meeting of
the faculty there might bei ten other names under discussion, and so on
until the Junior and sophomore classes were exhausted. And at the conclu
sion of these vital conferences, at tbo close of the term, each member of
the Junior class, and pome perhaps, from the sophomore class, might carry
home to parent or guardian a sealed envelope containing the concurrent
Judgment of from ten to twenty wise, experienced and professional In
structors of youth upon tho life-work of the young man or young worn'an
whose destiny was at stake.
There would be nothing obligatory, and certainly nothing compulsory,
about this edict, but a faithful parent and an earnest youth, studying
with consecrated earnestness the vital question of the child'? life-work,
would thank God and the progressive age for this wise and mighty help In
deciding the momentous question of vocation.
They would study It, and talk of It during the summer holiday, and
the chances are ■■ a thousand to one against the old way tbat the “misfit"
would oe missing from this youth’s life, and that the decision reached In
this noble conference of counselors would send the young man rejoicing
and successful on hfs useful way.
Happy Is that man who, In (he providence of God. and in the wisdom
of loving counsel, has found his work.
And blessed are they who, in faithful consideration, have helped a.
man to find his work.

THE "PROPRIETY” OF THAT SPEECH.
As to the "propriety and courtesy” of making that Chattanooga
speech under the occasion .and circumstances of Its delivery, suppose we
permit Mr. Bryan, the chief party concerned', to be the Judge.
He has placed his full ami unqualified sanction upon the amenities
of the production. Here are the facts.
The speaker construed the occasion to be a Democratic conference
and not a banquet of eulogy or ratification. Upon the first hint from two
or three ultra members of the committee disapproving certain portions
of a speech whose contents should never have been disclosed, the
speaker promptly accepted the situation, and without pique or resentment
attended tho banquet ne a guest and with no expectation of speaking.
At the urgent and cordial request of tho chief guest, Indorsed by the
entire committee, he returned under the specific Invitation to deliver the
speech as It was prepared. As a preliminary statement the speaker ex
plained that his purpose tn maklng-the speech In Mr. Bryan's pretence,
was to be manly and fair, In presenting a radical view In most courteous
terms, not behind the back of the chief party concerned, or among a
divided people In other sections of the country, bnt In a conference of
Southern Democrats at a home feast and with the great leader of the
party present lu hla own person to answer on the spot in his own person
and in bli own way.
And when Mr. Bryan rose to speak, In his own great and generoui
way, hla own lips declared In specific terms that "It waa the proper and
Democratic thing to do to apeak auch counsel right out In a party gather
ing,” and be blmielf paid highest and most generous tribute to the courage
and sincerity of tho speaker.
So If Mr. Bryan himself Indorses the "propriety” and commends the
frankness of the speech, we do not see that anybody else has any baals
of complaint.
The only fair and manly thing to do with such a proposition was to
present It Just where and when it was proposed.

PATRONIZING HOME TALENT
The Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, of Baltimo'^ In
stalled a new secretary the other day, and one of the things that greeted 1
him upon hla arrival in Baltimore from an adjoining city was the fol
lowing card In the Baltimore News from bis predecessor In that office,
Mr. Frank A. Furet. Mr. Furst Is quoted at follows:
"I have no doubt that Mr. Boggs, the new secretary. Is well
qualified for the place, and I have nothing to any against him.
but I am opposed to this thing of going out of the city for a man
every time there Is a good position o|ien here. There are. plenty
of Baltimoreans who could have filled tbat place with the Mer
chants and Manufacturer*' Association, a great many of them be
ing men who dre acquainted with the organisation's members as
well as being thoroughly familiar with local affairs. It'* a reflection
on the city. The practice I* hound to discourage our home folks, and
will not benefit us at all. This thing of going out of town every
tlme we want an engineer, n secretary, it suiierintendent or some
other fellow ought to he stopped. We have men here who are
competent to fill any position that we may have, and if they are
not given the chance It will hurt the etty la the end.”
Upon a first glance one Is very much Inclined to agree with the view
which Mr. Furst here puts forth. In Atlanta particularly It has long been
an accepted policy to patronise home industry and to encourage home
men whenever possible, and in the main It seems to be a moat excellent
I alley. Where we have good products manufactured In our own city,
there can be no wiser policy than for the dtlaens to buy nothing made
out of Atlauta if they can buy the same article of the same quality
made tn Atlanta. And we have also been very much inclined In this city
to indorse the Idea that between two men applying for a position, one
locally and the olher from another stale, the local man should always be
given the preference.
lint there are two views to this question, out- of which Is cordially
championed by our contemis>rary .of The HalUmure News, which taper
r ,v-t-'-i , f M- F:r<t :■* i-»l|r-> tv"-t->w rilt-l—I n-td iin--
wlse. In doing this It makes a telling thrust at .Mr. Kurst by asklug
what he would think of the principle If applied to himself In the applica
tion which he, of Baltimore, has already made to Galveston, New Or
leans, Norfolk and Philadelphia In the same capacity In which he served
In Baltimore.
Let us suppose, for Instance, that fifty years ago the few thousand
people composing the city of Chicago had persuaded themselves that every
newcomer meant a longer division of the profits derived from the opportu
nities for trade and had given a cold reception Instead of a cordial
greeting to the influx from the East. Under these circumstances would
there have been'a great city at a particular point on Lake Michigan where
Chicago stands? Big cities and great countries are made by a com
mingling of men and Ideas In all possible varieties. What new cities
need fs men, and men wherever It can get them, and ^whlle The Geor
gian would never counsel Atlanta to forget or to Ignore the claims of her
own worthy sons in their applications for stations of public- trust and
honor, neither would wo counsel a policy In which the city should Ignore
the claim of new men voluntarily pulling up stakes lu other cities and
coming to offer tlielr talents and attainments and experience to us. There
Is perhaps a wholesome anti healthy mean to be preserved in this matter.
What Atlanta needB Is men. more men, as many men as we can get,
and If In times of serlouB emergencies the city can get for some public
ofllce of Importance a man from the outside distinctly better equipped and
more effective than one from our own ranks, then wo should see that
uot only common sense |i tho selection of public servants but that public
policy In the open door stretched wide to wholesome and Indispensable
settlers should Invite them to a permanent residence here.

SOME TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
AS TO THE WATERWORKS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Now that the water bonds have car
ried by a tight squeeze, under a inoet
strenuous effort by ua, Its friends, I
feel I can venture to offer eome sug
gestions. Three hundred thousand dot-
tars Is lota of money, probably not more
than will ba needed for the enlarging
of the facilities for laying an additional
main, for filling the two reservoirs and
laying additional distributing pipes,
through the sections most needed for
general use (and especially fire protec.
tlon).
Now we have voted 8600,000, with the
assurance of the present council that
only 8360,000 Is to be Issued. Is this
(or can It be made) binding on succeed
ing councils? It should (and, I feel
sure. It will) 'be used with that care
and consideration as If every Improve
ment had to be fought through the city
council on the merits of each specific
Job, and when expended, we can sx-

- Paris, April 13.—American visitors to
Paris this year will miss one of the
chief sights of the city—the Morgue.
This grim place, where the unkonwn
dead of Paris are laid out on slabs for
Identification, la to be closed to ordi
nary visitors.
The authorities have decided to ad
mit no more visitors unless they can
show some valid reason for entering-
being able to Identify some relative, or
so on. The place has been crowded
with people who come from mere mor
bid curiosity—mostly foreign tourists.
Paris working girls and "gamins.’’
Scenes have taken place there which
were lacking In the reverence due to
the dead, so the city fathers have de
cided that the Morgue shall cease to
be a "show place."

It has been decided that this great

were approached on the subject they

AUDITORIUM ILLUMINATION.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
To Illuminati effectively and econom
ically Is to so select and locate the
proper units that certain desired results
are attained tn the most satisfactory
manner.
Illumination la not merely a matter of
carelessly scattering about a number
of light sources. The eye Is a delicate
organ, which, through age* of develop
ment. lias acquired certain character
istics and limitations and It may be
come fatigued and even Impaired If
these limitation* are not recognised.
In plamtlngjhe artificial Illumination
of a building we can not do better than
take nature aa a guide. Through ages
of evolution the human eye haa grown
accustomed to light as provided by the
sun. atyl if we strive to obtain daylight
values In our artificial Illumination we
will be working toward those condi
tions' which best suit tiiat organ.
A consideration of |he altitude of the
sun during the period of Ita greatest
efficiency and of the consequent ab
sence of bright lights In our field of
vision laavea no doubt as to the proper
direction for artificial Illumination. As
this great luminary approaches the
horizon ami come# within our natural
Held of vision hla ray* arc greatly
tempered by the earth’s atmosphere,
acting a* a diffusing screen, so tltai
glance ot (hr "*eltins sun" Is unlike.
