THE CROSSROADS.
Goodnight—goodnight—goodby, dear!
Your road la bright and long,
And I have naught to give you
Save this poor gift of song.
Take but these words for parting,
And I shall gomy.way
Th
the calm of twilight,
e while you seek the day.
Yours Is a youth unsullied!
Life lies beyond, above:
I, with my life behind-me.
Could give you naught but lova.
Of all you have to offer
What right have I to take?
Their lives are past all mending
Whose hearts can no more break.
You are the one, but I, dear—
A thousand men Out I,
All better far forgotten:
■ Goodnight—goodnight—goodby!

EUGENE V. HA YNES CO.
JEWELERS, 37 WHITEHALL ST.
Women on School Boards.
The United States census bureau In
giving statistics of women at work
tails some Interesting things about
school teachers. We are told that.
In cities of 2S.000 and over, about eight
of every ten teachers are women, and
that throughout the coURtry at large
about three of every four teachers are
women. Theee figures ahow that the
education and training of the youth
of the country In largely In the handa
of thesis women teachers, and when
we consider that more than 20 per cent
of the population of the United Slat
Is In Jhe -common schools, we. realize
the fact that theee teachers have no
•mall share In shaping the destiny of
our nation.
Not only ns teachers do women take
a prominent part In the educational
work of the country, but In many states
they serve on school committees, as
school Inspectors, county school super
intendents, on state boards of educa
tion, and, In some Instances, as the
state superintendents of education.
In moat of the large cities, women
serve on school boards. Miss Jane Ad-
dams la a member of the board of edu
cation of Chicago, and has done some
of her most effective work In that ca
pacity. In Massachusetts, Miss Caro
line Hazard, the president of .Wellesley
College, Is one of three women on the
state board of education, and In Colora
do, Miss Helen Grenfell was for some
years the state superintendent of edu
cation.
Several years ago, there was a move
ment on foot among the women of Ma
con to ask the legislature to make
women eligible to serve on the school
boards of the state, and the women of
Atlanta have at different times agitated
the question of placing women on the
school board of this city.
Atlanta has among her women-citl-
zens many who are eminently fitted for
this work. Many of her women have
made brilliant records In the leading
universities of the country. They ore
Interested In and are making a study
of modern educational methods, and
having ample time to attend to tho du
ties In question theso women would be
able to do better wurx on the school
board than the average business man,
who often serves and can give but lit
tle time and consideration to questions
coming up before that body.
In our public schools are boys and
girls, and full justice can net be given
the boys and the girls by a school
board composed of men alone, or of
women alone. In thla work, the best
efforts of our best men and women
should be called forth.
As most of the teachers are women
and much of the taxes from which
the schools derive their support Is paid
by women, and about one-half the
school children are cither young wom
en or little women, 4t seems only Just
and consistent to have a number of
women on the board of education.
KATHARINE KOCH.
permitted his return home.
Many, many years Intervened, years
full of responsibilities and duties to
Mrs. Gabbett and her co-workera
among the U. D. C„ but tha silver cup,
b(.light In a time of struggle and con
flict, -has been yacredly preserved.
At the recent general convention of
the U. D. C., held a* Norfolk, a num
ber of the daughters, In recognition of
her thorough and unzelflsh labor for tha
organization, presented Mrs. Gabbett
with a beautiful silver loving cup.
Upon examination Mrs. Gabbett dis
covered that the pretty cup given her
by her husband forty years before,
was of the Identical pattern as that of
the loving cup presented to her at
Norfolk. One was a goblet In design,
the other a cup ind In .shape they dif
fered, but the vepousee pattern and the
etching of ooth were one and the same.
The woman's International cham
pionship In tennis was recently won by
at- American girl, Mias May Sutton, of
Phsadena, Cal.„at the Wimbledon tour-
m-ment.
Miss Button has returned to Amer
ica and Is planning to meet a number
of America's and Canada’s crack play
ers. The World Today, Ir. commenting
oi. Miss Button, says:
“The manner In which tills plucky
young woman carried the war right
fnto the home of tho game and against
the most formidable opposition, won
the championship of Kent, the cham
r Kinship o.’ Northumberland, the Welsh
championship, the All-England cham
rlonshlp, and Anally the world cham
pionship, Is still remembered with prldt
by the rending public.
Last year she made the trip again to
defend this latest acquired honor, but
Miss Douglas, from whom she wrested
tho title In 1905, succeeded In dgali
coming Into her own. Miss Sutton was
defeated, but by no means dishearten
ed, and when she again set foot within
the tennis courts nt Wimbledon, MDs
Douglas, now Mrs. Lambert Chambers,
was forced to yield up the title to this
American girl."
The friends In Georgia of Miss Mar
garet Cook, formerly of Neivnan, Go.,
will be Intereated In knowing that she
has been chosen in Japan to take the
place of and continue the mission work
done up to recent date by Mra. Fanny
C. Macauley, whose flrst literary ven
ture, "The Lady of the Decoration,” has
reached a sale of over 73,000 copies.
Mlsa Cook Is related to a number of
prominent Georgia people, among th
being Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson, wife ot,
former governor, and Mrs. white, 6f
Wesleyan College, Macon. ‘She ls r a
graduate of Wesleyan and has been
working in a Japanese mission
for several years. Numerous 1
have followed her career with' Inter
est, and will be glad to know that she
has been promted to a position of
greater usefulness and broader inter
ests.
In this conection. It will be Interest
ing to note the amazing success of Mrs.
Macauley's book. Under the noia do
plume of Frances Little, the|thln vol
ume consisting of the autographic let
ters of a lady missionary In Japan, and
detailing her dally life and work Ih
a Japanese mission school, was launch
ed upon the sea of letters and scarcely
created a ripple. The critics for tjie
most part reviewed It unfavorably If
they noted It at all. but there was
something that gripped the Interest of
the general public, and It ranks as one
of the best ot the-best sellers. It has
flrmly established Its author, who will
devote herself henceforth to literary
work, giving up to the Georgia woman
her work In the Flowery Kingdom.
It was almost with surprise that th-
name of Florence Nightingale was not
ed In the recent hews columns of the
dally papers.
To the world at large It must come
i a shock that one whose name
already runks with the Immortals
should still be among us. It so seldom
happens that one’s worth Is duly ap
preciated and one't work truly
mated until death has taken "the meas
ure of a man.”
At the age of 87, Florence Nightin
gale haa been made a member of the
Order of Merit, instituted In 1902 by
Edward VII, as a reward for conspicu
ous public service. Mies Nightingale

Roberts. Lord Kltchenor, Marquis
I Oyaino, Admiral Toga and Lord Lis
ter are In a position to discourse with
1 Interest and authority on the subject
of tha Infliction and cure of gun-shot
wounds, though, possibly, the Angel or
the Crimea may find herself a little
tchlnd the times on cither phase of
the art of war. It would be Interest
ing to read the views of Miss' Night
ingale on the recent peace Conference,
hut the public can never hope to do so,
as the distinguished old lady Is more
secure from the enterprising newspa
per man than waa poor old “Oulda,"
who failed to escape the snapshot mar.
and the Sunday supplement In her un
lovely old age.
The honors paid Mrs. S. E. Gabbett.
of Atlanta, by the United Daughters'of
the Confederacy upon her retirement
from the responsible position of custo
dlan of the cross of honor, were richly
merited because of her long, intelligent
id faithful s
Besides the Clegant
honor which was presented Mrs. Uab-
bett at the general convention of the
U. D. C, held at Gulfport, Mrs. Gab-
bett also received from a number of
the daughters a beautlful sllver loving
cup, connected with which Is an In
teresting bit of war-time history.
During the Civil War Mrs. Gabbett’s
husband, who was a brave young Con
federate officer, was at one Itinj In
Huntsville, Ala., In eager pursuit of the
Federal troops, who were retreating.
The town was In great confusion, in
cident to the prerencu of so many sol
diers, and Just aa a Jeweler wa» elos-
.ng up his store. Colonel Gabbett hap
pened to be passing. Remembering
that his wife had lost a valuable all-
ur cup a short while before. Colonel
Gabbett decided to procure a substi
tute If possible,- which he would carry
home upon his rext furlough.
The Jeweler gladly sold the young
offices a handsome cup. which was
It la customary to look upon mar
riages between American women and
titled foreigners ns unemotional trans
actions, to say the least. But It appears
from cabled accounts of the event that
the wedding on Wednesday of Mrs.
Edith McCreery, formerly of San Fran
cisco, and the Hon. Henry Coventry,
third son of the Earl of Coventry, nt
St. James church, Piccadilly, was full
of suppressed emotion on the part of
both bride and groom. Whether this
agitation arose from the sentiment of
the occasion or from embarrassment
because of their conspicuous participa
tion In the affair Is not known.
The bride was trembling as she came
up, according to tha news stories, and
declared when kissing Lady Dufferln
that ahe was too nervous to eat break
fast. When she arrived at the chan
cel ahe made the mistake of kneeling
until Ambassador Whltslaw- Reid, who
was the official glver-away of the bride,
whispered to her to arise. The bride
groom was equally unfortunate In ask
ing his best man for the ring too soon.
The best man flustered nt the unex
pected demand, flrst offered his clga
rette case, then his pocketbook and
eventually found the ring.
Then as the groom, realizing his mis.
lake, turned away In tacit withdrawal
of his demand for the ring, the best
man, the Hon. Reginald Coventry, held
It with his arm extended to be ready
at the psychological moment.
Tho bride's costume waa enough to
make the women guests nervous from
very envy. She wore a closely mod
eled gown of brown cloth, glovelike In
Its fit. Gold slippers peeped out be
neath her skirts to show the glitter of
their diamond buckles. She wore a
brooch of unique setting made of pink
topazes and beautiful diamonds which
held a lace Jabot, her other ornaments
being a string of pearls and pearl car-
rings. Her lace neckband was fasten
ed with diamond slides.
The decorations were most original
and beautiful, arranged according to
tha Ideas of the bride. They consisted
of festoons of golden bells slung from
trophies ot golden yellow chrysanthe
mums. "’Tls the golden day of my
life," said she, "and I shall have a
golden wedding."
