It nt the meeting of the Capital lodge

great fun. Finally as It roes penny by
penny the price reached 31.60.
"Going for 31.60," said the auctioneer.
'Who'll make It 43.83. a 31.61, a 11.61,
■peak up, gentlemen, who'll make It
11.61—the gentleman with the red neck
tie says 31.61, going, going twice, sold
to the gentleman with the red tie,
Charles M. Roberts, for 41-61."
Mr. Roberts kept the dollar but a
few minutes, for J. A. Hynds, former
councilman, who apprsclstes a good
thing. Immediately purchased It at a
higher price. Mr. Hynds showed up
st Ths Georgian office Haturday morn
ing and paid for a six months sub

DOES EDUCATION MAKE OLD MAIDS?
By ARLETTA. BURROUGHS.
I S It true that education Is making
old maids?
Dr. tvnilam L. Felter, princi
pal of the Girls’ High school, of Brook-
lyn, claims that It Is. He argues that
a complete reform must be made ae
to the higher education of girls If the
world le to be made permanently bet
ter -through them.
He holds that the purpose of educa
tion Is not to give to the world woman
musicians, artists and authors; that
business and professional women are
not needed. He believes that the kind
of women most needed Is the one ‘‘with
even greater potentialities, with even
richer opportunities for blessing the
race and of making the circle of her
life radiant with helpful and benign
Influences—she Is a wife and mother.
Dr. Felter seems to bemoan the fact
that higher education keeps some
women from marrying. While this Is
tnfe In some coses. It certainly Is not
so much to be bewailed as would seem
at first thought. Better that one wom
an should shirk her duty to posterity
than that thousands should halt way
perform theirs.
It Is well said that a child he* o
right to be well born. If this Is true,
does It not follow that the more cul
tivated the mind of the mother the
more worth living will be her chil
dren? Who ever heard of a man be
ing handlcaped by the fact that hla
mother was a well-educated woman?
Is It Impossible to educate too highly
the human brain, be It male or female?
Rather le It not deelrable to so direct
this education that it shall by transmis
sion raise the mental, moral and physi
cal level of the human animal as the
generations pose Into history7
I fancy the look upon the face of
the high school girl to whom any one
dare Intimate that she could possibly
deteriorate to real usefulness In pro
portion to the amount of higher edu
cation she acquired, and every one
dreams of marriage .os the highest goal
to be reached.
If the college woman remains un
married It la usually from choice, and
who shall say that a more desirable
state of affairs does not exist where
girls are moat careful In their choice
of husbands. Nine-tenths of the do
mestic misery existing today Is due
to thoughtless marriages, and * *“*
come anything that will cause our glr ,
to pause and consider well before they
take tho step to matrimony. If hlah.r
education will bring .bout this dish-
able end. by all means let ue educate
our girls to the top notch.
Examples of self-made men whose
parents were Illiterate end wh™J
struggles In mounting the ladder of
■uccess are recorded In history prove
nothing. They did not succeed be
cause their mothers were Illiterate, but
in spite or it.
I venture to «ay that Mr. Felter or
any other good American would heel-
tate ong before giving the palm for
Intelligence to any other nation of
F** yhy will you And women
with the independence and chances for
higher development of the American
wife outside of our own land?
They do not seem to me, ae a rule:
to have made such bad mothers so far
and It would seem hardly possible for
them to suddenly become so Just be
cause they have become a little more
familiar with the sciences or learned
the history of music along with the
ability to pound out sounds.
I think It Just possible that Dr. Pel-
ter has become unnecessarily alarmed.
A llttlo advice to the boys as to tak
ing a new start and keeping up with
the girls would be more timely.
Could President Roosevelt and such
advisers as Dr. Felter have their way,
woman would. Indeed, be reduced to
an undesirable position. Happily, girls
themselves proposo'to have some say
in such Important things as the scheme
of their whole lives would encompass.
They havo elected to prepare them
selves ns best suits themselves for
wifehood and motherhood.
While Dr. Felter”# attack on higher
education for girts has caused quite a
stir. It will have no effect on things
educational for women, you may bs
sure.
The time has gone by whan woman
will allow herself to be dictated to In
such matters. She has made phenom
enal progress along these lines of late
years, and she will make still greater
strides along the road of learning In
the years to come. In spite of tho«e
who would place obstacles In her path.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE
Bjr J. B. LOVELACE.
As before stated, the natural procliv
ity of humanity Is onward and upward,
reaching out In every direction for the
good, the beautiful, the true, the Innate
longing of the aoul to regain Ita first
high estate.
That entity of man'a being which
dlacerna only through Intuition—the
aoul—Is os susceptible of either In-
vlgoratton or enervation as Is that
which finds expression In the five phy
sical senses, capable of the highest and
holiest mission, or, through perversion,
that which will defeat its purpose.
Upon the development and training of
thla occult power In man depends hli
recognition of Its existence,! Its powers
and possibilities, and upon this recog
nition and exercise In the proper direc
tion, his happiness and greatest use
fulness, the most unselfish and God
like efforts In the Interest of all man
kind.
While many are seemingly doml-
Inated by purely selfish motives of
the very- meanest type, bending every
energy to the advancement of per
sonal Interests, unmindful of the rights
and privileges and comforts of others,
It Is Inconceivable that any human be
ing Is so depraved that there may not
be found deep down In the recesses of
his or her soul a desire that all man
kind might be happy, relieved of all
sorrow and suffering, the only differ
ence between this class and their an
tipodes being a matter of education
for which some one somewhere some
how Is responsible. Even If there are
such, they must be so few in number,
and the great hosts of those who claim
to be honestly and earnestly seeking
correction of present undesirable con
ditions, the speedy elimination of all
degrading Influences, being so largely
In the majority, that It Is a matter of
wonder that we have not already wit
nessed the consummation so devoutly
wished.
From observation, from experience,
from reason, from the teachings of the
Bible, and from the eternal truths so
plainly engrossed upon every page of
nature, t am fully persuaded that If
even a very email percentage of the
time, effort and money that la being
spent In the name of charity was spent
more judiciously. In proper directions.
In prevention rather than cure. In edu
cating and enlightening, millions of
eyes Hooded with tefira of grief would
be sparkling with Joy and gladness;
millions of hearts agonising In despair
would be made to rejoice and to feel
that life. Instead of being a forced bur
den without consent, la a blessing full
of hope and purpose; the thousands of
dirty, disease-breeding, moral-corrupt
ing hovels, their Inmates desolate wo
men and starving (physically and
mentally) children, a burning shame
to any even half-civlllxed people and to
the Institutions whose highest earthly
mission Is the correction and proven-
over by fathers and mothers whose
minds being freed from unnecessary
enslaving, .degrading burdens, would
become susceptible to the teaching!
and influence of the Christian religion,
realising the duties and responsibili
ties of life, of parenthood, educating
and training their children for happi
ness and for lives of the greatest use
fulness; our prisons would be turned
Into Institutions of learning, and our
"temples of justice" Into temples of
worship to the living God.
Why has our progress been so slow?
While so much has been accomplished,
while the world itands today upon a
moral and rellgtoui plane superior to
that occupied by the people of any
former age, la It not a reaaonable prop-
oiltlon to naanme that little has been
done as compared with what might
have been accomplished? This being
admitted, then doe* It not devolve
upon us aa a religious duty to look
about for the cause and remedy?
All failure In nny undertaking what-
■oever Is due to Injudicious or misap
plied effort. The groat volume of ef
fort to absolve the world from sin with
all Its concomitant evils Is similar to
the efforts of the physician who under
takes the healing of an ulcer by oxter-
nal applications only, thus driving ts*

poison Into the system only to break
out again In another spot, and jwrhaps
In a more virulent form, while tns
eradication of the poison from the
blood would cure the surface manifes
tations.
