PRICE: On Trains: FIVE i EDUCATION’S GREATEST NEED IN GEORGIA Secondary Schools Great Gap in System. long jump from SCHOOL TO COLLEGE Rural Districts Especially Feel Need of Second ary Schools. By JOSEPH S. STEWART, of The University of Georgia. We have Increased our appropria tions to common schools to neaVly two million, have made possible local tax ation in eVery district, have established a comprehensive system of agricultural and normal schools, and have planned for the perfecting of a great univer- sity. We have left a gap, however, be tween the 400,000 children who attend the common schools and the doors of the higher institutions. We have no educational, system. What we call our system is only the beginning and end of a system with the connecting link left out. We have elementary schools and higher institutions but nrf well or ganized secondary school system. There is no law on our statute books relating to state high schools. The local school systems have pro vided high schools for about 6,500 of their own children. The churches, all told, have established twenty-three high schools with 1,600 pupils, and private boards maintain schools with possibly 1,400 students. In other words, out of a population of over two million people, 8,500 attend some sort of high School. In Georgia one person out of every 200 attends at some time a high school, at least in name. A study of the map will show that nearly all of our real high schools are located in the larger towns and cities, unrelated to the rural districts about them. When we consider the percentage of our rural population to that of our cities and the location of these schools, we are forced to the conclusion that fully 80 per cent of the youth of the state are at present, without high school opportunities and that this large p6r cent is chiefly •mong our rural population. Concerns 1,60.0,000 People. The question before us, therefore, does not directly concerh the child in Atlanta or Macon and In similar com munities, but it does vitally concern the more than 1,600,000 people who live outside of the centers of populatlon- The estimated high school population of Georgia is 130,000 youths. Why are there only ten thousand In the schools? Because there are no high schools for them. Because the framers of the con stitution of 1877, contrary to every other constitution framed by the state, restricted state aid to elementary schools and the university. These children sturted up the educa tional ladder, but ’ere they reached the seventh grade they discovered an al most impassable gulf in their way. They lost heart and dropped out. the chances for success of a high school graduate are, as has often been dem onstrated, twenty-three times that of sn elementary school man, how tragic indeed is the crime committed against cur youth by our constitution, which alone of all the state constitutions re stricts the education of the children. If the earning capacity of a high school graduate Is more than 8600 a year above that of the common school man, then the folly of the restriction Is shown In the waste of mental power and a financial lose of $72,000,000 a year.

Granted that all of the 130,000 youth* would not avail themselves of the high school, yet the state la deprived of the services of thousands who would wel come these opportunities and the finan cial loan Is still appalling. In addition to that greater Iosb of a “succession of superior minds, by whom knowlcdgo is advanced and the community is urged forward In civilization.” The public high school is the heart and center of a system of education, " Ithout which organic connection there can never be a system worthy of the state, one that will train the youth to develop its resources and maintain their place In the tierce competition of this twentieth century. 'Ve can never heave an adequate common school system without related high achools. We may double the state appropriation for common schools; we may vote a local tax In every county, hut unless there Is a high school sys tem which will bring hope to the brighter pupils of developing their tal ents for the public good, and more- 0V{ r. supply teachers for the common schools, our elementary schools will continue to languish, and much of the money win be wasted. At present our rural schools suffer most from poor teaching. Two-thirds of the white teachers hold a grade below first on nn examination, embracing only common •chooi studies and school management. A large majority of these have never attended any school higher than that Jhlch they are attempting to teach. One*fourth of these drop out every year. Thus our common schools re solve about themselves, forbidding frowth. Not the Solution. More money poured into the common •chools will not solve the difficulty. trouble lie* primarily In lack of local center* for the training of these teachers.

The question of _l r "' r *hc college Is denominational does not enter Into It, for the growth of any one or all Is dspsndent By DUPONT GUERRY, President of Wesleyan Fsmal* College. Wesleyan College, Macon, Qa„ July 13.—Our readers who have never en joyed the privilege of seeing this old mother of colleges, can get a fairly correct Idea of the main building and Roberts Hall by looking at the cuts of the same In this issue. The original building of 1837-8 Is In corporated In the present main build ing, which Is a very large and graceful structure—live stories high and sup plied with a large electrical elevator. All the buildings are so connected that the young ladles can go from the re motest corner of one end of them to the remotest corner of tho other end without going from under cover, and can thus avoid the discomfort and risk of bad weather. The new auditorium In the chapel Is very beautiful and commodious, hav ing a capacity of about 1,200. The acoustics are excellent. Musicals a Featurs. The musicals and other entertain ments given by the young ladles and teachers are largely attended and much enjoyed, room sometimes being taxed to the utmost. The enrollment last school year was 474, a number being turned away for want of room, and yet reservations to this date are largely In excess of last year at the corresponding date. Notwithstanding recent enlargements and Improvements, the college Is still unable to meet the demands upon It for board and Instruction. While material Improvement* have been great. President Guerry and all the professors, teachers and officials have been diligently building the old college up In all other respects. Cr-ricula Are Raised. The curricula have been' raised and extended, additional professors and teachers employed and the standard of teaching ability much elevated from year to year. All arc made proud and happy by each succeeding student body, the young ladles, as a rule, being very su perior in all respects. FERVENT APPROVAL. I am but a very humble citizen of Atlanta, have been taking your paper alnce you atarted It, and have been generally pleased with the conduct of It—always In,accord with It; know your editor personally; have always done what I could In my humble way to help you. But I don't know when In my life I have been so deeply touch ed as I was In your bold stand, noble and uplifting sentiments and words, and, as It naturally appears, self-sac rificing stand you took on the great Issue of the day. And the only thing I regret Is . that I can not do more to help and cheer you than these few empty words, but they come from one, ever so humbla though he may be, who will remember alwaya to do what he can for your great paper by word nnd deed. I believe your action Is sincere and for the great good of the poor of this city, who need all the protection they can get, and I know that the One who said, "Inasmuch as you have done It unto one of the least of these, ye have done It unto me," will not allow you to suffer In the end. And I pre dict that The Georgian la to be the paper of the city and state ere long, nnd I pray for you and your paper, and shall try to help answer my pray ers by doing what I can to help you. Truly yours, J. W. STEPHENS. Atlanta, Go. A FARMER’FIeNTIMENT8. I am a little farmer down here In Georgia. I want to congratulate The Georgian for the position which you have taken for the welfare of the state. I am glad that we have one newspaper In Atlanta that will stand firm In the matter of prohibition. There are many Innocent peopld In the state of Georgia that have to suffer on ac count of the liquor dealer. I want to say that I believe that the good old state of Georgia can live without the whisky dollar. Tho whisky dealer doesn't have to suffer what the poor women and children do, so let us get rid of the whisky and use that dollar on some other line. I hope that we have a legislature that won’t be bought, and that It will stand firm on all matters pertaining to the welfare of the people. I am yours very truly, DANIEL TUCKER. Ocllla, Go. POINTED ObIIrVATION8. I am not writing to thank or flatter you for doing your duty toward Geor gia and her people In the cause of pro hibition, Sometimes a man's pocket points out his duty to him, as In the case of those delegations that are be ing sent from the large cities to fight against prohibition.

O 0 — O 0 Odlla has been a prohibition 0 0 town a little less than twelve O On September 18 the seventy-first annual session will begin, probably with another overflow of pupils. President Guerry has u number of times said: "If we had ample room and equipment, we could in a few years have an enrollment of a thousand pu pils. We could not only secure many more pupils from the South, but many more also from the North. We can not Invite the latter because we are every year practically turning our own children from our doors.” Doing Great Work. Wesleyan Is earning to the limit of Its capacity with Its very low rates. Wo can pay Interest and for repairs, and even for small Improvements, but we can not build great structures out of the Income and the small donations that slowly come In. We have only a nominal endowment, and our contributions to education are very liberal. Strange Indeed Is It that under such circumstances the rich friends of thla glorious old Institution, that la an hon or to Georgia and the South, do not pay it out of debt and endow It and enable it to meet the great and grow-> Ing demands upon It from the South, to say nothing of the East, North and West. to earn his pay, no matter whether he Is right or wrong. But where a man acts for the good his acts may bring to his stute and her people, then he acts from patriotism and duty, nnd does not look for a money considera tion. Though no person Is Immune to public applnuse, or condemnation, and when he sacrifices a money considera tion for duty or patriotism, public ap plause ought not to be grudgingly or stlntlngly given. I note my old friend and army com rade, Judge Twiggs, Is marching In the ranks of the Philistines, from Sa- upon the development of tho state's secondary schools. Therefore, the friends of the colleges, public and prl- vate, can not afford to cut themselves off from the secondary schools and tho efforts being made to Improve them. At present only one out of BOO of our population ever matriculates In a col lege, The great golf lies between the elementary school and the colleges. Our constitution puts an embargo on brains, on the ambitious youth longs to rise. It consigns our common schools to mediocre teachers and officials, shuts the door of the college to all but the favored few, and cuts off the supply ol skilled leaders in every Industry, pro fession and condition In life. A Thirty Years Ineubu,. For thirty years we have been labor Ing under the Incubus of this onnstltu tlonal restriction, and though millions have been spent, we are still at the bottom In Ignorance.

Athens, Gs- Jul »' 22 - , vannah, and the gist of the Judge's argument against prohibition Is that It does not prohibit. Bah, Judge! neither do our laws against crime prohibit crime, nnd yet we dare not rub out the law. Draw a line of consistency, Judge, and toe the mark like you did during the war, and fight for Georgia, her peo pie, morality, sobriety and good gov' ernment, nnd throw the protection of your strong arms around the women and children of Georgia. What Is the Interest of a few large cities compared to the good of the whole state and her people. Liquor as a beverage Is the greatest curse on earth, and It la griev ous to see a giant Intellect trying to fasten an unmitigated curse on a con fiding people. Bow the country In bar- rooms, and the crop will be drunkards. The big city, red-nosed delegations are a fair representation of a drowning man catching at a straw. J. B. HOWARD.

Whisky, rum and beer have got to _ The liquor men have got no show; They can filibuster and raise a cry. But Just the same the state goes dry. F. TAYLOR. Atlanta, Go. RESPECT 0F0PPONENT8. You have won the love and confi dence of every good cttlsen In Geor gia, and the respect of those that are Averse, In taking the firm stand for prohibition In the face of grave oppo sition and financial Interest.

I shall not only take, read and pay for It, but I shall take great pleasure in using my Influence for It. There are various reasons why the Christian people should take The Georgian In preference to other dallies: 1. It Is not a Sunday paper. 2. It keeps all Impure advertisements out of Its columns. 3. It exposes the Indecent advertise ments of other dallies. 4. It takes a bold stand for prohi bition. Christian people of Georgia, let the Impure liquor-soaked 8unday dallies alone and take The Georgian—a paper that gives good news and will not cor rupt the minds of your children when they read It.

To the Editor of The Georgian: I have Just heard read Mrs. Sam P. Jones' letter, which was published In The Georgian of Saturday, 13th Inst. I am nearing my seventieth year and never before have I seen a letter like that published In a great dally like The Atlanta Georgian. No doubt but that letters like this one have been sent Ih to the great papers by many good women like Mrs. Jones, but never be fore In history (as far as I know) have we had a paper like The Atlanta Georgian. I am aware of the fact that we must not worship Idols, but the pralae that I will ever give The Atlanta Georgian In my feeble life, I must think will help It up to where no other newspa per con reach It, without first throw ing off that cloak of rottenness that they are now wearing. Give us a pa per that the dear mothers of this land will heartily Indorse, and will not mind for their boys to read all of the mat ter In It. I know that Mrs. Jones has voiced the sentiment of every true and genu ine woman, and has opened tho eyes of many thnt had never thought of It In thla light. The truth la what .Mrs. Jones says cannot be told In a thou sand years, and the newspapers that contlnuo to wear that coat above spoken of will not be long realising that It must contain many startling truths that they had never thought of. Oh! Just give us in the rising gener ations thousands of women like Mrs. Sam P. Jones, and then wo who have only a few more years to work In, will feel like we have accomplished something. As Mrs. JoneH has felled tho first tree In the forest, let us all. In one accord, sharpen our tools and clear away all of those trees that are not bringing forth good fruit. Yours In the cause, MARY G. VICKERS. Hahlro, Ga. WANTS TO STAND WITH U8.

Mr. Camp has received notice to this effect, but bis successor 4* zmi yat known. At this season of the year there are thousands of fathers and mothers ask ing one another the question, "What shall we do with the boy 7” Sometimes they spend sleepless nights trying to decide upon the best school for the lad. They read catalogues and they study school advertisements. They agree that the boy must be educated, but the question that pussies and perplexes Is, "Where shall we send him?" There are many excellent schools In Georgia, and many of them are doing work that Is worthy of all praise. Which Is the best school In the state, 1 do not know; but let me tell you about one school that I do know. I know It because I am associated with It. I am giving my heart and my life to It. I am trying to moke It the cleanest and the most attractive place In the state for young men. It Is located In the mountains of North Georgia. It Is al most surrounded by the peaks of the Bluo Ridge. Every boy at some tlmo in the formative years of his life ought to spend a while In the mountains. The silent majesty of the peaks appeals to what Is big In a boy. They appeal to what Is manly and noble and strong and true, nnd they help powerfully to develop what Is good. Nobody ha* yet defined the Influence of the mountains In the formation of a great career; but I am sure of this, that a young life finds something In the "everlasting hills” that ft finds nowhere else. The North Oeorgla Agricultural Col lege Is located In the very heart of the hills. It Is 22 miles from a railroad and yet Is only six hours' ride from Atlan ta. The climate the year through Is the most delightful nnd healthful. The av erage gain of about 200 boys lost year was 20 pounds to the boy. When a boy's body Is healthy and vigorous, he can do twice as much work as when he is languid and feeble. A strong body can not be developed In a depressing climate. If your boy needs to be built up physically, this may be the very place you are looking for. Every boy who comes here must work. I believe that every boy from the beginning of his educational career should he trained In the atmosphere of hard, exacting, honest toll. I know no kind of training for the development of the human bruin equul to that which reaches every muscle In the human body. We are finding out In recent years that gray matter exists elsewhere In the body besides In the brain. So we have hero athletic exercises that re quire hard work, military exercises that require hard work, exercises In the mining and agricultural departments that require hard work, all of our busi ness and academic courses require hard work. One other thing we wish to stress In this institution. We require every boy who comes here to be obedient and re spectful to those who are placed In au thorlty over him. No boy can slay here who Is not obedient. The discipline here Is military from start to finish. The men who have attended this Insti tution. from Its foundation In 1872, now testify to u man that their training In promptness. In attention to duty, w hen under orders here, has been the secret of their success In life. The young people who get this training do not expect to be soldiers, but they do ex pect to be efficient and resourceful In after life. All of our students here live In dor mitories In charge of military officers and members of the faculty. Our boys cut their own wood, make their own fires, make their beds and keep their rooms In order. A boy's entire conduct here Is subject to dally Inspection, and he must give an account of himself every hour of the day. Now then. If you think a place like this will suit your boy. we will be glad to have him. We do not take boy* under 14 year* of age. If you would like to place your boy where he can have plain living and high thinking, where he must work hard and be obe dient to rightful authority, where he will have dolly exercises thst will de velop his body os well os his mind and heart, and where everything Is planned to result In the good conduct of the boy, this Is the very place you art looking for. O. R. GLENN, Prohibition comes to Georgia as the crys« talllsed sentiment of a large majority of Its people. This does sot mess only thst ths good women are opposed to the traffic—for they have worked nnd prayed for It through the centurles-but thst the complete wiping out of the traffic In Georgia la the wish of sn overwhelming majority of tho enfran chised. The history of the prohlbtton movement In Georgia goes back many years. First, through the local option law, the saloon retreated from county to county, until 125 out of 149 counties today stand free of ths traffic In a legalized form. Surely but certainly the prohibition forces have waged their battles from county to county. Defeat has been rare, within re cent month! Terrell has wiped out four dlspeniarlea; Lowndes sounded the death knell of the saloon; Bartow lifted up her voice In no uncertain tonea to maka definite her objection to the sale of Intoxicants. NARROWED TO CITIES. So the flsht has been going forward until the sale of liquor la today confined practi cally to the larger cities—Atlanta, Colum bus, Mscou, Savsnnsb, Augusta and Al bany—with dlspensarloa In a number of counties. And as this wave rolled onward the prohibition forces gained strength and power, and strong hearts that had hoped nnd worked and prewar through the long ■oars glowed with the downing hope of Georgia aa a prohlbtton state from moun, tain to sea. So ths fires slumbered, apparently, for years, until the rtota here brought on the ‘•onfiagratton thnt Ut tha campfires of pro hibition from Tybee to Rabun Gap. v A few months ago a local prohlhtlon fight seemed Inevitable In Atlanta. Under tha stress of that time passion ran high Cool heads realised that to bring on a heated local prohibition fight then would not ba wlae, because the nerves of the people were events’ ■ tre,clle<, ** ut w *th recentterribln Under the cooler Judgment of level heads, the prohibition fight was deferred. But In the wlregrasa. In the middle section and In the mountains tha people were apparently moved by the same psychic Influences. To tal and binding prohibition for Georgia became the watchword In tens of thou- •and* of home*, and tho sentiment spread and crew from a distant muttering to a mighty concerted cry for eradication of the saloon and the liquor traffic from the stale. Anti-Saloon Leagues. Led by the Georgia and the Atlanta Anti- Saloon leagues* this movement gathered force and strength as time mored toward the annual session of the general a*sembly. At flr*t, the movement seemed shaped to ward stringent local option law*, with the passage of strong antl-Jug laws to keep the “dry” counties dry. Up to a short time before the legisla ture met, that seemed the probable coarse of the fight. Then tho leaders canght the inspiration of public sentiment throughout Georgia, and It was realised that this vii the time of times to push straight pro hibition for Georgia, without the referen dum. Men who had stood in the trenches and battled felt the thrill of the mighty awak ening. Broughton, Upshaw, Solomon, White. Seab Wright, Covington, Roddenbcr- ry. Keel, Hardman, Knight, all of that unnumbered host of fighters, hennl the bat- nnd buckled on their armor. It _ ___ pleasure of The Georglnn to first tell the people of .the state that It was to be a straight prohibition fight without com promise or quibbling. And the word went forth to every coanty in the state, and from the presage of storm it became the full fruition or the storm itself. 8enato Won Over. For years the cry In Georgia has been that the house would pass reform measures, but the senate was too conservative, nut that cry will avail no more in Georgia. The senate of 1907-1906 stood as granite for the bill giving. Georgia total prohibition. On the opening day. Senator L. G. Hard man, of the Thirty-third, a man of wealth and force and character. Introduced a bill that waa calendared as senate bill No. 1, and la destined to go down to history link ed with the name of the brave man whoso brain aided In Its creation. There was no mistaking the temper of the senate. Even to the moat partisan and obdnrats of the opponents It waa clear even before the bill received committee action that It would pass that body by overwhelming majority. And the senate “made good. 1 Wtth the exception of a futile filibuster of one day, action from introduction, to com mittee, to passage was swift, inro and unmistakable. Battle in the House. Seaborn Wright, the matchless* W. A. Covington, the dauntless; Will NeeL' tho tender and gentle, girded themselves up for the fray. An Impotent minority blustered and threatened, but It availed nothing.
