IPUCATION as a social factor.
probably never before In the hietory
of Georgia baa there been a keener In
terest throughout the state in the ques
tion of education.
The campaign of Mr. Smith hna
awakened people to the fonsclouzness
0 r the tremendous size and Importance
0 t our Illiterate vote, which la over 20
per cent of the total white vote In
twelve nf the counties of Georgia and
over 50 per cent of the total negro vote
„[the state.
The recent race riots and the hideous
outbreaks of crime among certain ne
groes has made the question of negro
education one of the utmost Impor
tance. We must know whether the
educated or the illiterate negro Is con
tributing fhe greater percentage of
crime and what are the results of such
education as has been already given
Mm. No proposition more worthy of
consideration has come recently to the
people of our state than that made al
most simultaneously 1 by Dr. Stirling and
Mr. Walter Cdoper, n proposition to
establish a commission or authorized
body for the scientific study of the ne
go problem, and no question to be
nvesllgated by such a body cs ‘
much greater Importance than
odal. betterment or Injury from
educating the negro.
Again, public Interest In education
bus been quickened by the recent cam
paign for child labor laws and the
consequent directing of public Interest
to the welfare of our children. In many
rays t,ney are still.to be protected; In
many ways still developed. While the
children In the large cities of Georgia
stand lowest of all the white children In
the United State* In point of Illiteracy,
while the native-born white children
of Augustn nre more illiterate than
the native white children of any other
large city In the United States, and the
native white children of Atlanta fourth
lowest In Illiteracy, we can not con
gratulate ourselves that the fight for
the children has yet been won.
These conditions and the Increasing
prosperity of Georgia bring vividly be
fore us the feasibility of compulsory
education' laws. Such; laws have been
already adopted by four-flfths of the
ilatgs of the Union. Three of the
former slave-holding states, burdened
though they are with negroes, have
found It possible to enact lows com
pelling school attendance throughout
the slate; three others hive laws lim
ed to certain counties or cities.
With these Incentives to Interest, It
may not be nmlss to consider briefly
erl.iln ways-In which education proves
Us value ns a. social factor. This value
ay not be measurable directly In dol
lars and cents, but the real wealth of
a nation consists not In Its manufac
tures nr things produced, but In the
ho men produce them. Its monetary
enlth will be, obviously conditioned
upon their powers, physical, mental and
moral. ,
The, lkhlts to mental development
"hen education la denied are obvious,
the. Illiterate Is practically devoid of.
Imagination. Kxccpt for the abortive
Imagination shown tn superstition, he
shows little evidence of it and faces

shown In some degree even by snlmals.
and he who has no Imagination and
none of the finer sympathy that It
brings is Indeed little better than
"brother to the ox." Seeing In a dull,
uncomprehending way, reasoning on
little Information nnd most Inaccurate
ly. the Illiterate Is mentally centuries
behind the highest of his race and a
drag n thousand-fold greater than any
physical circumstance cun bo upon Its
progress.
Even physically, the Illiterate Is apt
to carry a mark of Inferiority. Limited
to purely manual labor, lie goes through
me wretched circle of low wages, poor
surroundings, disease and accident.
Morally, too, he Is hampered by his
mss. Loaded by the keenest pressure

to right and wrong, with a smoldering
sense of Inferiority, he drifts easily

75 years was caused to the people at

*he possibility of his propagating
other criminals or inducing crime In
others.
p . rov . e » then, that the tendency to
crime Is lessened by education would
be to establish a strong argument
against Illiteracy. McDonald, one of
the greatest criminal experts In Amer
ica, maintains that "In Intelligence the
criminal Is far below the average."
Bueehncr in his "Force et Matters,"
says that the three great causes of
crime are defect of Intelligence, want
of education and poverty. In his study
Abnormal Man," made for the United
States government, McDonald shows
conclusively by statistics that while In
Italy, Germany and France both edu
cation and crime had Increased In pro
portion to the population, yet In Aus
tria. Norway and Sweden, England,
Australia and Japan as education has
become more general crime has per
ceptibly decreased. In fiVuertemberg,
where no one over ten was reported as
qnabte to read or write, there had been
a decided decrease In crime.
^ In his report for 1898-99, the United
State commissioner of education gives
a most Interesting table showing how
many times as many prisoners 100,000
illiterates furnish as an equal number
of literates, basing It on the United
States eensus of 1890. This table
shows that the Illiterates furnish 2.6
ns many prisoners as an equal number
of literates, taklng tbe United States as
a whole. In the.north Atlantic divis
ion the proportion Is 2.3; In the south
Atlantic division (this Includes Geor
gia) It Is 2.1; In the south central di
vision, 2.9; In the north central divis
ion. 2.4; in the Western division, 2.0.
That Is, In every ease illiterates furnish
over twice as many prisoners as an
equal number of literates.
It Is Interesting to compare the pro
portion of colored prisoners In these
same divisions. Fot the United States
as a whole. 100,000 Illiterate negroes
furnish 1.2 timer as many prisoners as
100,000 literate negroes.
In the north Atlantic division, the
proportion Is 1.4; In the south Atlantic
(and this Incudes Georgia), It Is 1.1; In
the south central, it Is 1.8; In the north
central, 1.0; In the western division,
1.0.
As the great mass of negro popula
tion In the United States falls In the
south Atlantic and the south central
divisions, It may fairly be argued that
even In their case Illiteracy seems to
have some bearing on 'criminal tend
ency. In no division do literates fur
nish anything like the same preportion
of crime as Illiterates, except among
the negroes of the north central and
western divisions. As the negroes In
these two divisions furnish a very
small per cent of the total population,
and as the total number of colored
prisoners In the north central and
western divisions Is a little less than
3,600, the basis of comparison In these
two divisions Is too small to be of os
great Importance as In the two south
ern ones, where the Illiterates surpass
the literates in their tendency to crime.
Dugdale puts It rather crudely but
forcibly when ho says, “Public health
and In/ant education, conforming In
general plan to Froehel’e Kindergar
ten school, are the two legs upon wh
thggeneral morality of the future must
travel," Other criminal experts agree
fully an to the Importance of education
as n preventive of crime. Draehms, In
"The Criminal," says: "The proper
care and education of the children of
the dependent classes and the very
poor, nnd the ennetment of compulsory
educational laws, free kindergartens,
nnd Industrial schools, with provision
for temporary feeding and clothing.
poor, taking away such children
their vicious surroundings, and placing
them under public control or with fam
ilies under legal guardianship or prpp-
er apprenticeship, would do much
toward reaching the sources of Incip
ient crime and effectively checking It
In the bud. This Is fhe only true and
radical theory of Incipient criminal
prevention and Is better thnn attempt
ed cure at the chronic or prison stage
of the disease."
t’ommentlng on the high percentage
of illiteracy In Georgia In connection
with the recent troubles here, Major
McUlaughry, deputy warden of the
Federal prison, writes me; "We
should not have needed to Increase the
city and county police forces If oiir

Victor Hugo said that he who opens
a school closes a prison, and there Is a
vast amount nf truth In that statement
—a truth to which the people of Qcor
gla may well give heed.
EMMA GARRETT BOYD.
BEGIN WITH ~SMALL WlNGS.
We are all prone to pass by
opportunities for doing needs
easy of performance, because of its op
parent insignificance, and to be lured
Into Inactivity hy ambitious Intentions
of accomplishing some great and
praise-winning task which our Imagin
ation's picture In the far future. We
are constantly overlooking the possL
ble, right at our hands, In our fas.
clnated contemplation of the Impose!
ble, the pleasing phantom which looms
so large on the distant horizon. Thla
contempt for the small and deslro for
the large. Is common, except In suc
cessful men, In all phases of life. The
Indolent man ts going to become In
dustrtous when he finds work worthy
of his time; the poor man will become
provident nnd beglh to save when hi
earns a sum worth saving; the church
man will turn his attention to the des
titute In his own city, after those of
the opposite side of the earth are cared
for; the landlord will Improve the mis
erable 16 per cent, bearing hovels of
Ills tenants when dll other landlords
have done so; the capitalist will In
crease the Wage of his employees when
he has accumulated sufficient millions
to Justify It: the social stadent will be
gin his work when he has mastered
ail the science of sociology; and so “
goes.
In our efforts tor social Improvement
let us, overcoming this procrastinating
spirit, see what we can do right now
and begin the work Immediately, rather
than postpone all efforts until we can
accomplish our whole Ideal. Let us
consider a social need which we can
meet In the very present, without study
or preparation. Of course I do not
mean that the study of sociology should
be neglected; on the contrary, I consld
er It one of the first duties of citizen
ship, but I wish to emphasize the
smaller and eve* present duties, whloh
do not require study and research for
successful accomplishment.
One of the greatest social needs of
today Is sympathy, that which Is so
rare, costs so little' to bestow and yet
Is so effective. It IS within the power
of the rich and the poor of us to give
and It enriches our natures and en
courages and helps the recipient a
nothing else will. All worthy sufferers
will not accept mere pecuniary aid, but
every one welcomes true sympathy.
The p-ord sympathy In its etymological
sense—a suffering with—has ever been
a favorite word with me. It expresses
the fundamental Idea of sociology and
until we learn Its full significance and
practice It we shall not succeed In our
efforts for soelal amelioration. In sym
pathizing with others, wo are not «•
moving their pain or relieving them of
all effort In their own behalf, but we
are "suffering with" them, putting our
selves In sueh close touch with .them
thnt their pnlns art ours, tdo, nnd wi
deslro their relief or uplift as y/a d*
sire our own.
Sympathy must precede all reform.
Until the misfortunes or wrongs of oth
ers affect us to the suffering point, we

remain 'complaisant and Inactive. Not
until Mrs. Browning and others awak
ened sympathy In the hearts of Enr
llshmen for the poor factory children
did reform come, and we may rest as
sured thnt not until sympathy for our
unfortunate Juvenile criminals becomes
more generai can we expect the aboli
tion of our present barbarous'and In
effective punitive system and the adop
tion of the reformatory method of the
treatment of criminals. Sympathy and
co-operation are the rules by which wc
are to solve our social problems and we
must hasten their propagation. Fear,
violence. Intimidation, oppression and
repression have all been tried and
found to furnish only temporary relief
and to create a spirit of hate, distrust
and revenge, which will require gener
ations to be removed. On the other
hand, wherever one has gone In true
sympathy and love, he has discovered
In the object of his solicitude an un
expected awakening and response to
this expression of friendly Interest.
We can not hope to eucreed In our
work with a class different from our
selves If we constantly assume the at
titude of superiority and condescension.
We must feel that kinship which exists
between all human beings and be keen
ly sensitive tn the sufferings nnd sor
rows of those whom we would help.
The wonderful success of missionaries
In their difficult work among heathen
peoples Is largely due to their breadth
of sympathy and their consequent wil
lingness to come Into close aoolnl con
tact with those whom they desire to
elevate. There Is so much for us to do
along this line In our dally life. We
are constantly coming Into touch with
men whom we could encourage to a
higher plane of living by simple kind
ness and unostentatious sympathy In
our ordinary dealings with them. Con
stant courtesy and consideration to
ward all on our part will soon teach
the lessons of resnset for the rights
of others, so needed In our day, and by
that most effective teacher—example.
Let us not be so zealous for our own
supposed rights, vaguely defined In our
minds ns the Tight to tho best, and be
more eager for the preservation of the
rights of society as a whole. We ran
not hope to receive from those whose
sole means of rulture Is contact with
ourselves, a higher degree of courtesy
and consideration than we show to
ward them.
When we stop to think how small are
the opportunities of the great mass of
the people and how restricted Is their
life, and then of the further fact that
we, who could give so much, rarely
attempt to. help nur less fortunsts
brothers In n social and personal way,
but too often treat them with con
tempt, perhaps unconscious, the won
der Is thnt they have attained even to
their present standard. We must
break the crust of social pride and
prejudice and expose the sensitive part
of our natures to the Injustice, wrongs
nnd sorrows of the unfortunate so that
we may know their needs and suffer
with them In their struggles; then we
shall know how to help them and be
eager to do so.

ATLANTA WOMANS SUCCESS
IN THE INSURANCE FIELD
Writing life Insurance ts a business
of which many men have made a fine
success financially and as a profession.
Few women" enter Its ranks, however,
and of tbesfe only the most tactful and
energetic succeed. Atlanta boasts one
woman who has made a conspicuous
record in this line, Miss Carrie Klrtley,
manager of the women's department of
the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, of which Bagley & Wlllet are
managers. Bpeaklng of her profes
sion as a vocation for women, Miss
Klrtley savp. In a recent article writ
ten specially for The Insurance Field:
"None but the woman who has her
self well In hand can become a suc
cess In Insurance work and she Wards
"ff possible blows Instead of returning
them, though when a blow Is dealt she
Is.not afraid to hit back, If it Is worth
while.
“She who Is willing to foster and ad
vance any new work for women must
so feel the courage of her convictions
that she will say, T can help the In
vestment by adding my quota dr l
can compile statistics by my own vlgl*
lance.'
“Insurance for women as protection
and Investment has proven Its benefi
cence In instances enough for the work
to bo a profession and tho field an open
one notwithstanding the many cautious
admonitions of delay from men.
“Now* from the standpoint of the
enemy: Opposition always makes the
advocates of a cause one knows to be
right to work harder nnd to fight with
more care. While we know the loyalty
of time, it Is trying to wait In silence
for the vindication of our theories.
"There are many more peculiar
phases to be^ met, but much good to
both the buyer and seller wilt come by
holding firmly to this truth: The In
vesting or commercial Instinct grow
Ing In woman has Its quick root In the
natural craving for Investing avenues.
Insurance Is an attractive avenue when
one with heart and soul Jn the pro
fession of soliciting presents It.”
