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 life with a, herd literalness and with none of t^ae transmuting power be queathed to all who read by men of genius. Observation nnd reason are 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 mr existence, untrained to reason ns to right and wrong, with a smoldering sense of Inferiority, he drifts easily Into pauperism or Is Impelled to crime An invefttlgatlon of the alnin housm in any community whore the llllt*rnte* i'»rin one-tenth of the population 'vouifi Almost certainly show from opo-hnlf to three-quarters of the In- niatrs totally Illiterate—In other words, nat they imposed on the tax-payer a Pr l , n Vi ny t,mes ,n excess "f the normal drift downward from the higher jiipioyments In times of public depres- n - In the acute stress of modern rp they show that mental Incapacity ' f ' r rV ,flr to * v,r y charitable worker 7. at "tupldlty “against which the f themselves are powerless.” co «tly, but crime Is far ?*?£"?• {Jttgdftle in his study of the Juke* estimated that over a million fand a quarter of dollars In loss during 75 years was caused to the people at that single family of about parsons ' The great percent of public revenue that ^?oes each year to tne support of courts, the maintenance or police systems, detectives, the build ing and support of jails, etc..

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 people had been " ’ " Induced to relieve COME O In Our New Office, Room §20 Candler Bldg. these conditions (tho great Illiteracy) earlier." 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 M n ... rt I .tn... nl,.

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.

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.” ATLANTA MEN ARE GIVEN BIG SOUTHERN TERRITOR Y L. The Jefferson Fire Insurance Com pany, of Philadelphia. Which hna been represented by Major J. T, Dargan, of Atlanta, as general agenf, and Jus been doing a small business In the South, has decided to adopt an agres- slve policy front now on, and to that end has made general agency arrange ments with Robort N.

The Pullman company ha* no ticket offices or sta tions of Its own, but uses those of tho railway. The railways, while they have not placed their tariffs In the outer offices of their ticket offices and stations, have posted notices stating where the pa trons may obtain them.
