But still remember what the Lord hath dona. —Shakespeare. The Trained and Equipped Teacher. The value of training and equipment In our modern educational system has never been better and more hap pily Illustrated than In the case of President M. M. Parka, of the Glrla’ Normal and Industrial School at Mllledge- vllle. ~\ The rapid and splendid advancement of this young teacher from the staUon of an assistant In the Savannah public schools to the honored presidency of the Normal school at Milledgevllle Is a history of the methods which command success. ' Prof. Parks Is a graduate of Emory college. Upon his graduaUon day he determined to devote hi* life nnd talents to the cause of teaching. He planted this de termination upon the purpose to be worthy and well equipped for the work to which he had committed hla life. Carrying high honors from Emory, he went Immediately to the University of Chicago, where In special studies along the lines of English and literature he carried off tho highest honors and Commendation* of that department In bla class. From Chicago he went to Harvard University, whose professor of English and literature has glvon him the most glowing testimonials of faithful study and high attainment. From Harvard he went to Europe, where in the schools of the old world he prosecuted these studies In which he had determined to make himself proficient to the last degree. -Returning to this country Professor Parka devoted himself with singular assiduity and success to the work of teaching In the public schools, and tho vacation^ of this young teacher, spent by so many In enjoyment and In holiday, were cohsecrated by him to study and Improve ment In the summer schools of the University of Chicago nnd Harvard, and of the great, chautauquaa of the country. At the time when the trustees of the Normal and Industrial College at Mllledgevlllo called Professor Park* to the acting presidency of that institution he was, pec haps In culture, In attainment and In experience, the lo st equipped young man In the educational life of the atate. tils connection with the Milledgevllle school has been a triumphant procession of noble and applauded achieve ments. He hat lifted the standard of scholarship In that Institution to a higher station than It has over enjoyed before. He has brought consummate order and harmony out of comparative confusion, and has established at the Milledgevllle school perhaps the moat harmonious faculty of working and effective teachers gathered together In any Institution of learning In the state. As successful as has been the career of Professor Parka, as a atudent and a scholar, It has boon even more successful In an administrative capacity as president of one of the great schools of the atate, as a subsequent summary will show. The last Issue of Tom Watson’s Magatlne has a re view of the recent article contributed by Professor Parks to a national educational periodical. In which our great Southern publicist and thinker pays tribute to Prolessor Parka aa-one ot the ahledt and moat progressive thinkers In the educational life ot the 8onth and the country.- And for all else we can oommend this tireless teacher to the grateful appreclatlpn of the people ot Ocorgla In tho record ot the Georgia Normal and Industrial College under his administration during the past year. These aro In brief the Item* of his achievement: First: The collega baa had the largest attendance In Its history, enrolling forty-seven more than last year, and turning away one hundred and thirty for laok ot accom modations. 8«cond: It hat Installed a new chemical laboratory of fine equipment and has secured new piano# and the Internal equipment has been Improved. Third: The dormitories have been run at one thou sand dollar* below the estimated coat, and each atu dent who had paid In advance was refunded four dollars nt the end ot the year. Fourth: Several new scholarship* have been secured for the Institution, among them a donation ot five bun ; died dollars from William J. Bryan Irom the Philo Sher- man Bennett fund. Fifth: The annual Income of the college has been I Increased twenty-one hundred dollars. \ Sixth: An appropriation of <25,000 was secured last £ August from the legislature for the Industrial building, [ which Is now In course of construction and promise* to | be one of the most beautiful college buildings In the | South, as It certainly will be the best equipped of them | fill. Seventh: By diligent correspondence President K: Parks has secured an offer from Andrew Carnegie ot E <15,000 for a library building, provided an equal amount K Is raised by the friends of the college. Eighth: The commencement just passed Is pro- | nonneed on all sides to be the most brilliant the college I has ever known in Its history. Ninth: The faculty Is harmonious and enthusiastic, spirit of the student body Is fine, nnd tho caliber and ^^adaptability of the teachers Is notable smong the lnstlu- tlons of the state or the 8outh. And there Is good, genuine teaching in that school • every day of the year. Surely a young man, not yet thirty, who has done F; such a work In the educational rank of the state, Is wor- I. thy of the commendation of the press and of the public, | and ot any honor which our educational system can givo , him. But the university need not cast a sheep’s eye upon r ’ him during the present summer, for the trustees and the ■ - mate need him as yet to complete the splendid work li^hlch he U doing at MllledgevUl*. qul - which should not pass unnoticed. They come from various sections of the country and lend genuine encouragement to the friends and defenders of better methods In the conduct of commercial and In dustrial affairs. Jt will be remembered that Chancellor Day, of Syra cuse university, made a holy abow of blmaelf on Sunday when In the course of hla baccalaureate address he took occasion to denounce President Rooaevalt and all tboso who have been criticising and exposing tha.beef barons and tb* oil trust. Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, whom Atlantans know and hold In high estesm, waa to have delivered the commencement address, but because of the Intem perate terms In which the college official referred to the president, he has cancelled his engagement, and Mr. Day will have to get along as best he can. On the same day the Interstate Commerce Commis sion announced that the president of the Pennsylvania railroad and other officers* high In authority would be Invited to appear before the commission and make any statements they might see lit, but that there was to be no "Immunity bath" about the matter, and they would have to take the consequence* ot the Investiga tion, whatever It might be, regardless of their testimony. And again on the same day it was announced tlyrt the Illinois Central railroad, which owns large Interests In‘coal mines, had taken alarm at the thorough probing going on In Philadelphia and had decided to get rid of Its holdings. At least they are to be consolidated and placed under a new and Independent management. Nobody sup poses for a moment that the railroad la feally going to part with Its property, but It will trump up a plausible Action to evade the law, and all will go well. The only bncoursgement to be derived from the latter Incident Is the fact that the railroads recognise that the Interstate Commerce Commission means business, and that It Is time for them to flee the wrath to come. If we can but keep them In this wholesome fear and dread they may ultimately become tired of duplicity and evasion and In reality sell out their coal and oil stocks, which will be a long step toward the abolition of rebates, by which Independent shippers are discriminated against. The heathen may rage as furiously as he likes, but the sentiment of this country Is becoming thoroughly aroused. There Is a deep-seated determination on the part of the people that some ot the abuses which have been so mercilessly exposed shall be remedied, and there will be no halting until this has been accomplished. The Humane Society. Our apologies are due and hereby tendered to the At lanta Humane Society for an editorial paragraph which seemed to Ignore the existence of that line and effective organization. Tho Atlanta Humane Society has been organised since 1873 and was Incorporated In 1893. Its officers are J. F. Burke, president; John F. Barkley, vice president; Orr- vltlo It. Hall, secretary; J. L. Panchen, treasurer; Linton C. Hopkins, counsel, and Drs. W. E. Carnes and H. O. Carnes, agents. The society has done many good and excellent things for the prevention of cruelty to children and animals, and Its work has been done as much by persuasion and by moral Influence as by an appeal to the restraining powers of the law. A Word to Our Contributors. The Georgian')* ,n the accepted* sense an open forum of discussion. Our columns are always open to any view, whether consonant or dlsaonant with our own opinions, provided that view be expressed In courtesy and In decency, and la n6t prejudicial to the morals and manners of the times. We desire to Impress upon our correspondent! one Important fact Our columns are always crowded. We leave out nearly as much news as we publish. We have columns of matter which never get Into print and consequently our space Is Immensely valuable to our aelvos and to our readers. We delight to hear from our friends and are always glad to be the medium through which honest men and women expreia their opinions upon the doings ot the great world. We must urge, however, upon our correspondents the absdlute necessity of brevity. We simply cannot afford to give ao much of our apace to lengthy communica tions. Elaborate essays should be reserved for the maga- slnes, and parties who have facts upon current questions must learn to express them briefly and succinctly. In or der that they may be read, and read In this newspa per. Our good will toward our friend* la large, but our space Is limited, and the bulk of It belongs to our read ers who prefer the news to opinions. We welcome the communications of our friends and we urge them to con tinue the expression of these opinions whenever the spirit movoi them, but we present to their Intelligence the’fact that a communication expressed In one-fourth of a col umn, or one-half of a column, would be read by twenty times as many people a* a communication expressed In an entire column. So, If you would roach the ear and the attention ot the people, write briefly. Write briefly for your own sake, write briefly for our sake, and write briefly for the sake of those who would like to read your oplntona and to weigh your views.

Paul Colardeau, who Is to engi neer the stately craft. • Remembering the mad adventures and fate of those who have sailed Into the polar region, never to return from the land of Ice and perhaps snow, we may now look for some surprising am. tragic denouement The Divine Sarah’s Farewell. The Divine Sarah has left us. She sailed on yesterday for her own sunny France, and If she keeps to the determination expressed when she ftrst arrived she will not give us the opportunity of see ing and hearlng.ber again on this side of the big swim. Her tour of the United States was one of the most remarkable ever made by any artist In any- country, and the fact that she succeeded In drawing large crowds wherever she went and In whatever kind of auditorium she might appear was an impressive tribute to her genius and power of attraction. The people who went to witness her performances, such as in Atlanta, for Instance, knew when they went* that there was little satisfaction to be derived except to feel that they were seeing a great artist—that all the charm that comes from magnificent stage set tings and delightful surroundings would be distinctly wanting. But they were willing to pay their money even for this privilege and It Is safe to say that In the main they were not disappointed. Her tour of Texas was In a tent. It waa like harking back to the early days of the drama when the Thespian wain was at orice the palace car and the grand opera house. It was something of a tortoise sort of perform ance—she carried her house with her. In some In stances the storms came and the rains beat upon It and there was Imminent danger that audience and actors would be overwhelmed, but all this acemed but to give a special plquance to the show and It was not only enjoya ble but actually exciting. In one Instance her train was delayed to such an ex tent that she must have missed the performance entirely unless she was willing to begin It at 11 o'clock at night, but this she did, and for three hours she spoke and acted, according to her own account, as she never had before. There were no Intermissions. It was a continuous per- formance—perhaps the only Instance on record of a continuous performance of a play so tense and exhaust ing as “Camille.” . This was but one of the many unique Incidents of that remarkable tour, which extended from ocean to ocean and practically took In every city of Importance In the United States. She traveled like a queen and Indulged all the whims and Idlosyncracles for which she Is famous. But now It Is over and she goes home for a brief rest, after which she will make a tour of Spain. The American public has no very abiding confidence in farewell performances. The call of the almighty dol lar la strong, and the best laid plans for retirement some times go amiss, when the great artists get a twinge of covetousness. So It Is impossible to say whether she will ever come back to us. However this may be, It cannot be denied that she proved herself once more the great est artist since Rachel and her tour was one ot the most remarkable In the history of the stage. ! Heard on the Conic A AS TO IMMIGRATION. A Polar Flight. Within a month or so. If all the arrangements are perfected. Walter Wellman will make his sensational and daring dash for the pole. An especially built airship Is being constructed for the wild venture and the expedition la being financed by Mr. Lawson, of the Chicago Record-Herald. Leading scientific men are In hearty accord with Mr. Wellman's plan and project He will be accompanied by Major Heraey, of tht National Geographical Society. M. Godard, ot Paris, la making for Mr. Wellman the largeat dirigible balloon ever built. The start Is to be made from Spitsbergen and under the most favorable conditions proximity to the pole may be reached in about thirty hour*. If the winds are advene and untoward it may take one hundred and fifty hours to get within hailing distance of the long sought region of Ice and mystery. The ship will be able to remain In the air from twelve to twenty days. It will carry five men, food, fuel, motor sledges, repair material and all apparatus and necessary equipment. The expedition Is one that excite* imagination, and the progress of the startling event will be eagerly watch ed by the curious world. Many lives have been lost, vast sum* have been spent In the endeavor to do what To the Editor of The Georgian: I with pleasure read your able and elaborate editorial 'of- tpe 5th Inst., on th* question of Immigration. Tou canvassed the subject pretty thoroughly, but it <ls so many sided much remains to be written and spoken. It la by no means a new question for debate In (Teorgla. The history of the discussions had on the subject, re peated efforts on the part of the legis lature successfully to grapple It. the Interest which ao many of our people have manifested In It, all unite to show how Important It Is, and with what edre It should bo handled. Immediately after the war, when chaos reigned almost supreme, when the conditions as to labor seemed to be absolutely beyond control, the public mind turned to Immigration as the only possible remedy. At this date, grave aa Is the labor situation, we cannot recall, with any degree of clearness, the serlotis char acter of labor conditions from May, 1885, to 1870. Under an act approved December 3, 1868, relief waa believed to be obtain- able. This act provided for a commis sion house and land agency to be es tablished In tho city ot Augusta, under the direction of William Schley, Robert Schley and James Gardner. The Idea was to negotiate with pos sible Immigrants and sell lands In ismatl acreage or In large bodies. The act of March 8, 1870, which be came a law without the approval of the governor—five days lapse—pro. tided that the legislature In Joint sen non should elect one domestic and on< foreign Immigration commissioner— the former to be paid a salary of 32.- 000: the latter a salary of 13,000. Th l.li < iyiM8 ttn| f circulars The del carried an appropriation of *»,**»; - ■ - * The foreign commissioner was S rfd to be abroad no( less than on* ror more than threq years, adver- ng Georgia's advantages and send ing Immigrants direct to the state. The domestic commissioner was ex pected to exert himself with a view to Inducing Immigration from the East ern and Western, states. ' Doubts arose In tha public mind, op position sprang np, and October 18, 1870, the art was repealed., Practically speaking, tha att never got' Into the statute books. It was annulled before It reached the hands of the public printer. But the necessities of the rase would not down. They continued to cry aloud for relief. And they are crying aloud today. February 22, 1373, an act was ap proved, incorporating the Southern Land and Immigration Company and the Georgia Land and Immigration Company. Among th* Incorporators of the first- named company were Herschel V. Johnson (former governor), Martin J. Crawford. B. F. Lockhart, H. W. King, T. J. Jtotderneaa, E. Platt. Charlea Mc Calls, M. B. McMahon. John S. Bet- tesa and J. M. Calhoun. Among the Incorporator* of the sec ond company were Campbell Wallace, Wade 8. Cothran and W. T. Wofford. A joint resolution was passed In M arch, 1875, authorising the governor to negotiate with Editor I. Sterne, of The Abend Zeltung, Savannah, with a view to directing attention to the thousands of opportunities and ad vantages held out by Georgia to the energetic and the thrifty among the denizens of the old world. Under an act approved October 17.* 1878, the governor was authorized to appoint a state land and Immigra tion agent, with headquarters In the capitol. This officer, with a high-sounding title, had liberty to list land for sale nnd out of fees from that fruitful source compensate himself and pay for circulars, pamphlets and year-books sent out in the state's Interest. The legislature quietly, but summar ily, repealed that "ample provision" of linmmlgratlon legislation September 26, 1881. After th* passage of the repealing art of 1881, nothing along the Immi gration line was attempted till 1816, when the Fogarty bilk which made the commissioner of agriculture ex-olficlo commissioner of Immigration, was passed. The Fogarty bill or law, amended In certain particulars, will be brought before the legislature at the approaching seaston at the instance ot an Immigration conference recently held In this city under the patronage of the committee on. Immigration of the Chamber of Commerce. From first to last, the subject of Im migration has proved to be a subject abounding in difficulties. Existing conditions In Georgia and throughout the South make Immigra tion an exceedingly practical question. It Is far more difficult than any of the questions with which tb* people's mind* or the legislative mind have had to deal. West, the railroads—rich In land— have done more than all other agencies to flood that section with a splendid farming population, domestic and for eign. Southern railways could do a* much for tho South, but they have not the land. Immigration needs to be freely, dis cussed, calmly discussed.

Secure this claun of people. If they should be pleased with our state and people, others will follow In thotr footsteps. These will prepare the way for farm laborers, etc. Do not lose sight of this Important fact: Before desirable white help, whether as farm laborers or as do mestics, can be Induced, or Indeed an effort made to Induce them to come, we must make ready for them In point of dwellings and In point of wages.
