THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE God's goodness hath boon great to thee; Let never day nor night unhallowed pass. But still remember what the Lord hath dona. —Shakespeare. The Trained and Equipped Teacher. " . The value of training and equipment In our modern i 'l (rational system has never been better and more hap- plly illustrated than In the case of President M. M. Perks, of the Girls' Normal and Industrial School at Milledge vine. . The rapid and splendid advancement of-this young i- .ichor from the station of an assistant In the Savannah public schools to the honored presidency of the Normal k bool at Mllledgcville is a Elstory of the methods which command success. }'■' Prof. l4rks la a graduate of Emory college. .Upon lii- graduation day ho determined to devote hi* life and talents to the cause of teaching. He planted this de termination upon tbo purpose to bo worthy and well i -j apped for the work to which ho had committed h|s life. Carrying high honors from Emory, he went Immediately to the University of Chicago, where In special studies nlong the lines of English and literature he carried off the highest honors and commendations of that department In his class. From Chicago he went to Harvard University, whose professor of English and literature has given him tin- 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 ulilch he had determined to make himself proficient to tlio last degree. Returning to this country Professor Parks devoted himself with singular assiduity and success to the work of teaching in the public schools, and the vacations of i Ills yonng teacher, spent by so many In enjoyment and in liollday. were consecrated by him to study and Improve ment in the summer schools of the University of Chicago n ad Harvard, and of the great Chautauqua* of the country. At the time when the tru*tee* of the Normal and Industrial College at Mlllcdgevllle called Professor Park* to tho acting presidency of that Institution he was, per- hap* In culture, In attainment and In experience, the beat equipped young man In the educational life of the state. , His connection with the Mllledgevlll* school has been n triumphant procession of noblo and applauded achieve ments. He has lifted the standard of scholarship In that institution to a higher station than ft ba* ever enjoyed before. He has brought consummate order and harmony <"it of comparative confusion, and has established at the Mllledgcville school perhaps the moat harmonious faculty of working and effective teachers gathered together In any Institution ot learning In the state. Aa successful as has been the career of Professor I'srks. as a student and a scholar. It has been even more miccessful In an administrative capacity aa president of one ot the great schools of the state, aa a subsequent summary will show. Tbo last Issue ot Tom Watson's Magaslne has a re view of the recent article contributed by Profeaaor Parks to a national educational periodica., In which our great southern publicist and thinker pays tribute to Professor l srks as one of the ablest and most progressive thinkers In the educational life of the South and the country. And for all else we can commend this tireless teacher to the grateful appreciation of the people bt Georgia In the record of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College under his administration during the past year. These are In brief the Items of his achievement*. First: The college has hod the largest attendance in Its history, enrolling forty-seven more than last year, and turning away one hundred nnd thirty for lack of accom modations. *. 8econd: It has Installed a new chemical laboratory of fine equipment and baa secured now pianos and tbo Internal equipment has been Improved. Third: The dormitories have been run at one thou sand dollars below the estimated cost, and each stu dent who had paid In advance was refunded four dollars it tho end or the year. Fourth: Several new scholarships have been secured tor the Institution, among them a donation of five huo ih- I dollars from William J. Bryan from the Philo Sher matt Bennett fund- . Fifth: The annual Income of the college hat been In- iwaned twenty-one hundred dollars. Sixth: An appropriation of 126,000 waa secured last August from the legislature for the Industrial building, winch Is now In course of construction and promises to lx- one of the most beautiful college buildings in the Smith, aa It certainly will be the beat equipped of them all. » Seventh: By diligent correspondence President I'.- -ks ,h*a secured an offer from Andrew Carnegie ot I IT.,000 tor a library building, provided an equal amount Is raised by the friends of the college. Eighth: The commencement Just |issued Is pro nounced on all sides to be the most brilliant the college ha- ever known In Its history. Ninth: The faculty Is harmonious and enthusiastic, the spirit of the student body It fine, and the caliber and adaptability ot the teachers Is notable among the lnstlu- tions of the state or the South. And there le good, genuine teaching in that school erery day of the year. ■ Surely a young man, not yet thirty, who has done such a work In the educational rank of the state. It won thy of the commendation of the press and of the public, and f any honor which our educational system can give him ' . But the university need not cast a sheep’s eye upon him daring the present summer, for the trustees and the state need him a* yet to complete the splendid work which he i» :uln« at Jdlllcdgevlllw. Some Echoes from the Crusade. There are some echoes from the pending crusade against corruption and unlawful combination! of capital 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 affair*. It will be remembered'tbat Chancellor Day; of Syra cuse university, made a holy ahow of himself on Sunday when In the course of hie baccalaureate address be took occasion to denounce President Roosevelt and all those who have been criticising and exposing the beef barons and the oil trust. Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, whom Atlantans know and hold In high esteem, was to have delivered the commencemeot address, but because of tbe Intem perate terms In which tho college official referred to the president he has cancelled his engagement, and Mr. Day will have to get along as best be can. On the aame 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 statement! they might see fit, but that there waa to be no "immunity bath" about the matter, and they would have to take the consequences of the Inveatlga- tlon, whatever It might be, regardless of their testimony. And again on the same day It was announced that the Illinois Central railroad,’ which owns large interests In coal mines, had taken alarm at the thcrough probing going on In Phlladelphlf and bad decided to get rid ot Its holdings. At leut they are to be consolidated and placed under a new and Independent management- Nobody sup- prises for a moment that tbe. railroad Is really going to part with its property, but It will trump up a plausible fiction to evads the law, and all will go well. The only encouragement to be derived from tbe latter Incident la the fact that the rall.-oads 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 bo a long step toward the abolition of rebates, by which Independent shippers are discriminated against. Tbe heathen may rage as furiously as he likes, but ’the sentiment of this country Is becoming thoroughly aroused. Thqre Is a deep-seated determination on tbe part of the people that some of the abuses which have been so mercilessly exposed shall be remedied, and there will be no halting until this has been accomplished. Mr. Wellman now confidently hopes to accomplish. Tbo alrsblp Is nearing completion and the final de tails are about perfected. With Mr. Wellman, beside Major Hersey, will be Her- vler, tbe famoua French aeronaut; Mr. T. J. Smith, the wireless expert, and M. 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 -tho land of Ice and perhaps snow, wo 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 first arrived sbp will not give us the opportunity of see ing and bearing her again on this side of the big swim. Her tour of the United States was one ot tbe most remarkable ever made by any artist In any country, and the fact that she succeeded In drawing large crowda wherever she went and In whatever kind of audltorlumzhe might appear was an Impressive tribute to her genius and power of attraction. The people who went to witness her performanriss, 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 coma* from magnificent stage set tings and delightful surroundings would be distinctly wanting. But they ware willing to pay’their money even for this privilege and It la safe to aay that In the main they were not disappointed. Her tour ot Texas was In a tent It was like harking back to the early days of the drama when the Thespian wain was at once the palace car and the grand opera bouse. It was something of a tortoise sort of perform ance—she carried her house with her. In sonio 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 seemed but to give a special plquance to tbe show and It was not only enjoya ble but actually exciting- In one Instance her train was delayed to such an ex tant that she .must have missed tbe performance entirely unless she was willing to begin It at 11 o'clock at night, but tbla 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 ot a continuous performance of a play so tense and exhaust ing as "Camille.’’ This was but one of the many unique tncldenta of that remarkable tour, which extended from ocean to ocean and practically took In every city of Importance In tbe United States. 8he traveled like a queen and Indulged all the whims and ldlosyncracles for which she Is famous. But now If la over and she goes home tor s 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 tbe 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 wilt 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 of the most remarkable In the history ot the stage. Heard on the Corner AS TO IMMIGRATION. The Humane Society. Our apologies are due and hereby tendered to the At lanta Humane Society tor an editorial paragraph which seemed to Ignore the existence of that fine and effective organization. Tho Atlanta Humane Society has been organized since 1873 and was Incorporated In 1893. Its officers are J. F. Burke, president; John F. Barkley, vice president: Orr- vllle H. Hall, secretary; J. L. Pancben, treasurer; Linton C. Hopkins, counsel, pnd Drs. W. E. Carnes and II. Q Carnes, agents. The society has done many good and excellent things for tbe 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 tbe law. A Word to Our Contributors. The Georgian is ,n the accepted sense an open forum of discussion. Our columns are always open to any view, whether consonant or dissonant with our own opinions, provided that view be expressed In courtesy and In decency, and Is not prejudicial to the morals and manners of the times. We desire to Impress upon our correspondents one Important fact. Our columns are always crowded. We leave out nearly as much news as we publish. We hare columns of mattsr which never get into print, and consequently our space Is Immensely valuable to-our selves and to our reader*. We delight to hear from our friends and are always glad to be the medium through which honest men and women express their opinions upon the doings of the great world. We must urge, however, upon our correspondents the absolute necessity of brevity. We simply cannot afford to give so much of our apace to lengthy communion, tlons. Elaborate essays should be reserved for the mag* tines, 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 friends la Urge, but our space Is limited, and the bulk ot 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 moves them, but we present to their Intelligence the fact that a communication expressed In one-fourth ot a col umn. or one-halt of a column, would be read by twenty tlmea as many people as a communication expressed In an entire column. So, If you would reach the ear and the attention of the people, write briefly. Wrtto briefly for your own sake, write briefly for our sake, and writo briefly for the aake of those who would like to read your opinions and to weigh your views. The Georgian will be compelled hereafter In self protection to decline communications which are not of a reasonable length. A Polar Flight. Within a month or ao, If all the arrangements are perfected, Walter Wellman will make hla sensational and daring dash for the pole. An especially built airship Is being constructed for the wild venture And the expedition Is being financed by Mr. Lawson, of the Chicago Record-Herald. Leading scientific men are In hearty accord with Mr. Wellman’s plan and proJecL He will be accompanied by Major Hersey, of the National Geographical Society. M. Godard, ot Paris. Is making for Mr. Wellman the largest dirigible balloon ever built. The start Is to be made from Spitsbergen and under tbe most favorable conditions proximity to tbe pole may be reached In about thirty hours. If the winds are adverse and untoward it may take one hundred and fifty hours to get within halting distance of the long sought region of Ice snd mystery. Tbe 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. Tbe expedition is one that excites Imagination, and the progress of the startling event will be eagerly watch ed by the curious world. Maay live* have been lost, vast sums have been spent In Uw endeavor to do what To the Editor of The Georgian: I with pleasure read your able and elaborate editorial at the Sth Inst., on the question of ftnmfgration. You canvassed the subject pretty thoroughly, but It Is so many sided much remains to b* written and spoken. It Is by no means a new question for debate In Georgia. Tho 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 so many of our people have manifested In It, all unite to show how Important tt 1s, and with what care It should be handled. Immediately after the war, when chaos reigned almost supreme, when the conditions aa 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 serious char acter or tabor conditions from May, IMS, to 1870. Undsr an act approved December 3, 1800, relief waa believed to be obtain able. This act provided for a commis sion house and land agency to be es tablished in tbe city of Augusta, under the directloh of William Schley, Robert Schley and James Gardner. The Idea was to negotiate with pos sible Immigrants and sell lande In small acreage or tn large bodies. The act of March 8, 1870, which be came a law without the npproval of the governor—live daye lapse—pro vided that the-legislature In Joint ses sion should elect one domestic and one foreign Immigration commissioner— the former to be paid a salary ot <8,- 000; the latter a salary of $8,000. Tbe limit, to. printing and circulars was Used at 18,000 a yean The act carried an appropriation of $10,000. ’ The foreign commissioner was re quired to be abroad not less than one year-or more than three years, adver tising Georgia's advantage* and Send ing Immigrants direct to the stale. The domestic commissioner was ex pected to exert himself with a view to Inducing Immigration from th* East ern and Western'slates. Doubts arose in the public rttind, op position sprung up, and October’ Is, 1870, the act was repealed.. Practically speaking, the act never got Into the statute .books. It was annulled before It reached th* hands of th* public printer.. But the necessities of the case would not down. They continued to cry aloud for relief. And thsy are crying aloud today. February 88, 1878, an act was ap proved, Incorporating the Southern Land and Immigration Company and the Georgia Land and Immigration Company. Among the Incorporators of the first- named company were Herschel V. Johnson (former governor), Martin J. Crawford. B. K. Lockhart, II. W. King, T. J. Holderness, K. Platt. Charles Me- Cal la, At. B. McMahon, John S. Bet- tess and J. 31. Calhoun, Among the Incorporators of the sec ond company were Campbell Wallace, Wade B. Cothran and w. T. Wofford. A Joint resolution was passed In March, 1876, authorising the governor to negotiate with Editor 1. Sterne, ot The Abend F.eltung, Savannah, with a view tn 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 authorised to appoint a state land and Immigra tion agent, with headquarters In the capitol. This officer, with a high-sounding title, hnd liberty to list land for sale and nut 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 thst "ample provision" of Immmlgratton legislation September 2*. tilt. Good! After the passage of th* repealing act of 1881, nothing along the Immi gration line was attempted till 1814, when the Fogarty MIL which made the commissioner of agriculture ex-offlclo commissioner of Immigration, wsa passed. The Fogarty bill or Uw, amendea In certain particulars, will be brought before the legislature at tbe approaching session at the Instance ot an Immigration conference recently held In this city under tbs patronage of the • committee on Immigration of the Chamber ot Commence. From first to last, the subject of Im migration has proved to be a subject abounding In difficulties. Existing conditions tn Oeorgla and throughout the South make Immigra tion an exceedingly practical question. It le far more difficult than any of the questions with which the people's mlnda or the legislative mind have had to deal. _ . . , . West, the railroads—rich In land- have done more than all other agencies to Hood that section with a splendid tanning population, domestic and for eign. Southern railways could do as much for the South, but they have not th# land. Immigration needs to be freely dis cussed, calmly dtamiaaed.

It Is for this reason I have suggested the Ides of first. Inducing the farmers to come Into our midst. * Again, If a colony be sought, and that Is an excellent Idea, you must first have an eligibly located, well-watered body of land at command, divided Into farms of 60, 100, 800 seres and so on, to be sold at s. reasonable price per acre on reasonable terms. Observe: I am not discussing the question of Immigration. I am trying to contribute a few facte which may aid In the discussion which should be full and free. MARTIN V. CALVIN.
