THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SATURDAY* DECEMBER 22. 190c;
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS
G overnor terrell has made
an epoch In Georgia history that
other administrations mlvht well
covet. He has proven that there is a
tide in the affairs of men which, taken
M the flood, leads on to fortune and
fame. He 1ms demonstrated that “no
law, descending sun shall view from
hit hands no worthy action done.” He
hgs illustrated that the height by a
great man reached and kept was not
attained by sudddn flight, but while
hit companions slept, he labored on
daring the night. He is the noblest
governor of them all. His administra
tion monument will aggregate a cost
of $389,000, eleven college spires rest
ing upon the base of 2.382 acres of
Georgia soil—all freely donated without
the asking. Seventeen million South
ern people of the farming population
will rise up and call him blessed. Let
one of his epitaphs be that he was rear
ed on the farm beneath the myrtle-
ehaded cottage, and did not forget the
▼tne-clad rocks and citron groves of
Cyrsasella.
These eleven agricultural district
•chools distributed throughout the slate
will be great friends and benefactors
to the struggling ambitious farmer
Touths. Heretofore tine clothes, high
board bills and large tuition accounts
of the expensive schools and colleges,
wtro cold dampers to their aspira
tions. Now they read the papers and
dream of the day that they can “go off
to school,” working their own way,
climbing the ladder of success, dressed
In overalls. They fancy themselves
clad In uniforms of broad brim hats.
brogan shoes and overalls, milking the
cows, working nt the forge, debating
In the literary hall, reciting to sympa
thetic professors, chopping in the fields,
experimenting in the laboratories—en
joying It all and mastering it all.
These schoolis should be self-sus
taining. That Is, the appropriations
should go to pay the teachers' sala
ries, and the farms so managed as to
make free tultlin, incidentals and
board. Everything eaten nnd consum
ed should be produced by the students
on the form. Socialistic regarding dis
cipline, but democratic In operation.
Large quantities of hogs, beef rattle,
goats, sheep, chickens, geese, turkeys,
guineas, eggs, butter, canned goods,
syrups, preserves. Jellies and fruits,
together with practical articles of hard,
ware, should be put on the market of
the neighboring towns every year.
Plenty of grain and forage and a bnlr
of cotton by each student should he
grown, the proilt of which should he
credited to the students’ expenses.
Rainy Day Program.
On rainy days, when the weather Is
too disagreeable for farm work, the
mechanical department should double
Its force in the manufacture of useful
articles of hardware that could be sold
In the local market for a profit. For
Instance, the making of school desks, as
there Is no manufacturing plant In the
South. Great quantities could be r.o)d
by assigning the home territory of each
student to be canvassed as a drummer
during holidays and vacation. Farm
ers In sympathy with their children's
wprk might send In orders for future
delivery. The production and disposal
or everything handled should be done
by students, even the booking of ac
counts, thereby Inculcating and discip
lining the art and science of the occu
pation of three-fourths of our popula
tion.
The groves and campus should ho
evenly sodded and beautifully shad
ed. The fences, farm houses and the
trunks of the trees should be whlte-
. By H. 8. BOWDEN.
washed and kept white. Plats and
meadows surveyed off with fruit trees
bordering the driveways. Harmony
and order should blend and beautify
Into a cornucopia region In suminef
and fall, and a landscape delectat robed
In a mantle of waving wheat and grow
ing oats in winter and spring. These
schools 3hould be the real experiment
station, modeled for every fArmer In
the district, the landscape gardens of a
modern Babylon.
The countm ot study should be prac
tical to the core. Not too much un
dertaken, but a*few texts well mas
tered. The four yearn In English
should embrace grammar, composition,
oratory and literature. Two years of
Latin. Four years of arithmetic, alge
bra, geometry and trigonometry und
surveying. Four years of physical ge
ography, physics, geology and chemis
try with the laboratory experiments of
each. A two years’ business course
should be given to accommodate the
country hoys and girls who help to
number the 6.000 students who attend
annually the high-priced city business
colleges of the state.
What Course 8houfd Contain.
The agricultural course should be
along the lines of scientific, economical
and artistic productifn. Horticulture
should be taught by demonstration, us
ing altogether the objective methods
in orchards of peaches, pears, plums,
grapes, pecans, berries and other fruits.
Dairying should also be taught by the
objective nnd demonstrative. Impress
ing the practical and profitable. Stock
raising should be stressed as one of the
leading features of the course, both
by objective and subjective study.
Glossy-coated, well-groomed horses
feeding upon the nourishing grasses of
the meadow should be the pride of
every student. Fat Jerseys, friendly
Holstelns, meeky Herefords grazing In
Bermudn meadows, or wading In th«*
lake, should give especial Interest nnd
make becoming the school life of the
farnt. No undertaking of farm work
could be true to real agricultural dem
onstration without the grunting of
porkers nnd squealing of pigs. The
smokehouse with Its poik, saussuge,
spare-ribs, backbone, bacon and ham
would iliustrute the hog and hominy
adage and cultivate the policy that
makes a prince out of the successful
farmer. Poultry In droyes, platoons
and brigades, long rows of nest, crow
ing rosters, fretful clucking hens in
the back yards of the dormitories,
around the cow sheds, on the pigsty—
would farm life be complete to the
country youth without the chickens;
would It be new and Ideal to the city
student without the farm yard fowls?
A fleet of ducks and geese gliding over
the lake, a battalion of turkeys march
ing across the grain fields, would dem
onstrate to the f irmer student the re
ality of the ideal fnrm life. With a
suitable range, a small flock of goats
amusement of the small boys at lelsuro
should be ’ kept for profit and the
times, having them to construct their
own wagon* nntJ harness Jn the school
ehops and to do various kinds of haul
ing with their teams, teaching them
the care and supervision of teams.
s Floriculture could not be neglected
and make the farm school a half suc
cess. Floriculture would be best taught
by demonstration and objectively on
the school campus nnd dormitory yards.
Walks, fringed with rows of violets,
hyacinths, lilies, chrysanthemums, he
liotropes, pansies and tulips, would
surpuss enthusiastic teachers and In
viting text-books toward Inspiring a
love for the beautiful nnd good. Ever
greens and climbing vines, box (lowers
on the windows, basking In the winter
sunshine, would develop the Ideal of
real home life.
Practical Irrigation.
Irrigation, both surface and under
ground, should be Illustrated and prac
tfeed. If the topography of the school
farms would permit a successful dem
onstration. How many times has the
farmer sighed and his heart throbbed
with anxiety as the sun scorched his
fields, when he longed for a refreshing
rain! How many times have our ag
rlcultural Interest suffered from i
drought that blasted the promising

ago of our bottom land, and the pres
ervation of our foreete.
Terracing should be atudled and prac
ticed by tho farm student. There Is
nothing that enhances the value and
quickens the fertility 1 of the farm any
more than correct terracing. This
subject should be atudled both from a
text-book and real practice with level
and compaae. In plowing, the student
should be given practice In laying off
rows on a levs! with the eye. The
object lesson and benefit to soil should
bo Impressed by calling attention, aft
er a heavy rainfall, to each furrow
holding lte own water, and aa the
water soaka Into the .ground the sur
face' 1s covered with a fine Impalpable
powder, almllar to the rich alluvial sed
iments and deposits round on bottom
lands. Wornout lands. In gulleys, ter
raced and brought back to life under
the beet methods of Intensifled farming,
would be the beet text-book In the
hands of an enthusiastic and successful
agricultural teacher.
The Ideal school farm could not be
complete If the fish pond and game
range were not eloeely caret tor ant
studied. The fish pond down In the
meadow, with Its clear, silvery water,
In which dwell many of the tinny tribe,
while over lte glossy surface the Pekin
and Muecovy glide toward the fort
guarded by a squadron of goslings call
ing for the reinforcement of mother
goose. Tho swimming pool and the
hook and line are the Indispensable
Joys of an American boy, and the stole
life of a college etudent could never
eradicate these propensities from Ills
life. The game should be protected.
Large coveys of partridges should bo
permitted to feed on the farm und
squirrels piny In the grove near the
college to tempt and keep alive that
Joy und pleasure of a typical Southern
youth.
Plant Life and 8oil.
If anything should be moro domi
nant nnd Influential to the student of
agriculture than another It should be
plant life and tho composition of soil.
These subjects should be studied sub
jectively and objectively, theoretically
and practically, synthetically and ana
lytically. Tile plant In Its different
groups—annuals, biennials and peren
nials. The seed, the leaves, the roots;
the orguns of reproduction and vege
tation; where tho plant gets Its food.
Its dependence upon carbon, oxygen
and nitrogen; how the plant grows;
how the food elements enter Its roots
and how the compounds uro manufac
tured Into leaves; moisture, volatile
matter, protein, sulphur, non-nltrogcn-
oti* compounds; mineral matters, mag
nesium, phosphorous, silicon, chlorine,
sodium, culclum, potassium, Iron und
mungnnesn—all should bo studied In the
laboratory anil considered on the farm,
blending theory and fancy Into practice
and profit.

mil*. (he mechanical and chemical ac
tion of water, tho organic matter in
hoIIm, the transportation of soil, inor
ganic matter, wind, clay and the mln-
eralH, should he familiar to every* stu-
dent. The chemical application ot ni
trogen and nitrification to humus and
undreayed organic matter In all .the re.
lotions of plants and soils should be
made no less Interesting than impor
tant. The cause of poor soHs and the
remedy should be vital and lasting
lumlons until solved by every utu-
ient.
As all other puriults depend largely
upon the farmer and his prosperity, ho
should be of equal training, politically
and socially, that he might meet In
common men of any and every profes
sion. From the United States senate
down to the secretary of the school
board, the farmers should till their full
share of offices, 'and represent their
vocation In legislation fair to all with
un execution of laws measured by even,
handed Justice. The scarcity of labor,
wornout soils and new farming ma
chinery demand an educated and diver,
sided farmer.
Broad ’Meaning of Farming.
Farming no longer means growing
corn and cotton, nnd hauling It to
town in n shackly wagon over rough
roads. The very "ends of the earth”
have been brought together by the rail
roads and telephones. Competition and
diversity have entered into the secrets
of success. If we go on tho old slow
and ont-of-date way and our neigh
bors take the new and progressive
paths, urn! get ahead of us, It Is our
fault. Like a syphon connecting the
Booth arid the w*orld, through which
flows tho success of our state, the sur
rounding pressure is aided by the vac
uum created therein.
The time has come when* the farmer
must not only know that a certain
thing must be done, but how It must
be done, and why It should be done,
The world is controlled by bruins.
Muscles are ruled by brains. No nth
er calling demands so varied informa
tion as the man who successfully runs
a six-horse farm. Many times he must
be his own physician before he can
reach n surgeon. Very often he must
act the part of both Judge and Jury,
after pleading the cause of both plain
tiff and defendant. He must be a
mechanic and know how to adjust and
repair machinery. He must be a good
Judge of horses and cows, that he may
trade and swap. He needs tho broad
culture of a well-trained • brain, and
useful skill of an expert hand. Give
him this training and he will stand
among the counsellors of the nation.
His fertile acres ami broad driveways,
flower gardens nnd orchards, meadows
and lake, will be the favorite rendez
vous for the banker’s daughter and
lawyer’s son to meet his sons and
daughters In Intellectual pleasure and
social pastime. In the hotel lobby und
director’s oflice will meet alike the
farmer, merchant, lawyer and banker
to discuss financial. Industrial nnd po
litical questions. When the state needs
a leader, let it go to the farm near the
Tiber and find Clnclnmuus behind the
plow.
Why Not a Now Era?
If Athens. Greece, the mother of art
and philosophy, cultivated that equal
ity of all educated nien, why not Geor
gia, through these agricultural schools,
develop the mechanical art and agri
cultural philosophy upon a broader
plane and greater equality? If the age
of Pericles was the golden agt? of
Athens, why not make the Terrell Ad
ministration the golden age of Georgia's
Industrial and agricultural develop,
ment?
Let every citizen of Georgia lend
his influence and aid in making the
congressional district schools the suc
cess they rightly deserve. Let these
Fifty agents who have helped Bag-
ley & Wlllet, of Atlanta, make the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company
one of the biggest factors in the In
surance line in Georgia; met Friday
night In the banquet room of the
Capital City Club, met President
George K. Johnson, of the company,
enjoyed a delightful menu and heard
gome eloquent and interesting talks.
These agenta came from every sec
tion of Georgia and from several
counties In South Carolina and were
the guests at the banquet of Bagley
& Wlllet.
The guests of honor were President
Johnson, of the company, and Henry
C. Llpplncott, manager of agencies.
Both came from Philadelphia, the
headquarters of the company, but
neither are strangers In Atlanta, hav
ing visited here before.
H. C. Bagley presided as toastmas
ter, and with appropriate and witty
introductions, he presented the vari
ous speakers to the guests.
H. M. Willet extended a cordial
welcome to the agents and the two
high officials of the company and
briefly pointed out what had been ac
complished In Georgia.
Mr. Johnson's Address.
In a speech that was Interesting not
only to Insurance agents, but to oth
ers who would know the Insides of a
big * insurance company. President
Johnson, responded to the toast “Our
Company.* He briefly recited the his
tory of the organization and pointed
out amid applause that It had weath
ered tho storms of investigation when
other big companies were being be
smirched and came out without even
a criticism.
He explained, too, Just how the $84,-
000,000 of ussets were managed and
how the officers of the company were
elected and how* the trustees worked
for almost no compensation whatever.
Pull or Influence, he said, cut no
figure and the officers were selected
because they knew their business nnd
would devote their time to the inter
ests of the policyholders. President
Johnson nointed out the phenomenal
growth of the Penn Mutual within the
past ten years and a feature that
called for applause was his statement
of the amount of money belonging to
the policyholders invested in Atlanta
and Georgia.
Following Robert F. Maddox, who
made a pleasant and witty speech that
•ailed for repeated applause, Manager
>f Agencies Llpplncott was introduced
and responded to the toast, “The
Armstrong Law.”
The Armstrong Law.
He pointed out many week features
In this law and waa particularly op
posed to the feature of It which regu
lated the commissions paid to agents.
He said that while legislation had
been enacted to regulate the hours of
working men, never before bad a law
been passed which sought to limit
compensation ot working people. He
said the New York lawmakers had
gone far beyond any precedent and he
was opposed to It. He also went on
record against paternalism on the part
of the national government and said
the next step wns state socialism. His
remedy for evils In the Insurance
companies was complete publicity and
he showed how this method had work
ed satisfactorily In Great Britain.
Eugene R. Black, who Is connected
with the law department of tho Penn
Mutual In Atlanta, responded elo
quently to “The Law” and his word
picture of how the Penn Mutual was
never touched by the official investi
gations called for hearty applause.
A Woman’s Address.
One of the most interesting talks
of the evening and one which was
constantly interrupted by applause
was that by Miss Carrie Klrtly In re
sponse to the toast, “The Agents.”
Miss Klrtly Is In charge of the wo
man's department ot the Penn Mutual
In Atlanta and her speech comparing
a life insurance agent to the crusader
of old. Interspersed as it was with
witty comparisons, made the hit of the
evening. , . ,
The surprise of the evening came
when J. K. Wilhelm, president of the
Penn Mutual Agents’ Association,
presented to Bagley A Wlllet a hand
somely engrossed set of resolutions In
a large frame showing in what es-1
teem these two Atlanta men were held
by their agents.
••William Penn" was responded to
by Jefferson Davis Atkinson, one of
the oldest agents In line of service In
the company, and the program was
concluded with nn eloquent speech by
Rev. 8am W. Small. After paying a
high tribute to Messrs. Bagley & Wil
let and welcoming President Johnson
to Atlanta. Mr. Small went Into a dis
cussion of life insurance disclosures.
When he announced his opposition to
imperialism and governmental regu
lation and centralization, he was loud
ly applauded. It was not only an
eloquent speech, hut an able discus
sion of topics that interest life Insur
ance men.

GRAND
me; PHONE
Police Station Recently
Fitted Up With
Telephones,
By RICHARD APERCORN.
(Copyright, 1906, by W. R. Hearst.)
London, Dec. 22.—The Metropolitan
police have at last discovered the tele
phone. Incredible aa It may seem, the
police st&tiona In London (except in
the small “city” area, where there Is a
separate police force) have hitherto
muddled along without that indispen
sable means of communication, and
have In consequence missed capturing
many criminals.
Now, after yeans of newspaper agi
tation, the chief commissioner ot police
has ordered that the various stations
be connected with the telephone sys
tem
Several years ago the city police au
thorities saw the necessity of the tele
phone and adopted It, but the Metro
politan officers made the singular ob
jection that they would be “subjected
to all sorts of annoyance by Irrespon
sible members of the public.”
The British cruiser Drake. Rear Ad
miral Prince Louis of Battenberg's
flagship In which he visited New York
last year, now holds the world’s record
for gunnery.
Shooting at a target four miles dis
tant in Arancl Bay, the Drake’s guns
made 105 hits out of 135 rounds, or 79
per cent of hits. Lord Charles Beres-
ford’s flagship came next with only
63 hits.* The performance of the Drdke
makes Prince Louis the best gunnery
admiral In the British navy for 1906.
Another International marriage that
proved a failure has been solved by the
Dublin courts, Mrs. Lida Eleanor Pur
cell Fitzgerald, who was a Miss Nich
olas. of Unlontown, U. 8., obtaining a
divorce from her husband, Gerald Pur
cell Fitzgerald, a member of a his
toric Irish family.
Mrs. Fitzgerald’s story was one of
her husband’s systematic callousness
and brutality, and she would cer
tainly have got her freedom If her hus
band had not withdrawn his petition
against and offered no defense.
Mrs. Fitzgerald's counsel said she
first met her husbund on a railroad
Journey between Chicago and Los j\n-
gHes in 1898, and married him In the
following year. She soon found that
he had a tierce temper and ungovern
able passions. From the first he treat
ed her with studied Indifference and
left her for many month* at a time to
go «on hunting expeditions. She be
come 111 through his neglect and vio
lence nnd at last she hnd to leave him,
as he had threatened to kill her.
Giving evidence, the ill-used Amer
ican wife said:
“In Januury, 1900, we had a row and
I was about to leave the room and go
Into my child’s room when my husband
said: ’If you go in there I shall take
the child and beat It to death In the
dirt.* That frightened me. He went
on to say: 'Won’t strike you, you
know; If I did I would kill you while I
am In this mood.’
“My husband kept bull dogs, and one
of them once Jumped at the baby and
bit him. I was very excited and thought
the dog would tear the child limb from
limb. I said to my husbund: 'If the
dog hnd killed the child I should have
killed him,’ and he replied: 'If you
killed the dog I should kill you.'
“While my cousin, Miss Schepler,
was staying In the house at Duarte,
we had another terrible row. My hus
band dragged me out of bed, and I
thought he would break my arm. 1
