9 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!

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.

The Ideal school farm could not be complete If the fish pond and game range were not eloeely caret tor ant studied.

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.

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. HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS VIA GEORGIA RAIL ROAD.

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 screamed for Miss Schepler to come, Monday and Tuesday, December 24-25, MATINEE CHRISTMAS DAy THE DISTINGUISHED COMEDIAN, MR.
