ADVANTAGES OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
Editors Augusta Chronicle:
A gentleman well informed, ener
getic, industrious, and as just as
most men ever get to be, remarked
to me; “I don’t think youug men
stand a chance now-a-days; the
young women are pushing them out
of positions.” I was strongly in
clined to laugh, but he was so much
in earnest, thaf I waited to hear his
explanation, winch, as nearly as I
can remember, wis this: *’A young
man goes into a business house as an
errand boy or in some other petty
position; he grows up with the
house, is promoted step by step, and
is. finally Installed as head book
keeper, or confidential clerk, or some
corresponding position. He is am
bitious and iongs to risp; naturally,
too, he falls iu love and wants to
make a home for himself. Having
been for years a faithful servant to
the firm, he thinks himself entitled
to better wages and higuer privi
leges. His request for these advan
tages is met with the information
that his place cau be filled with one
as faithful at less Salary. He remon
etrates and soon his place is filled
with a young woman. Bhe ie a wo
man and. ot course, can live on less
than can the Lord of Creation; she is
timid and shrmkiug, without a mind
other own; she will bear without
murmuring impositions which any
man with a spice of manliness must
tesiet. She has no temptations to
dissipation, to dishonesty, and she is
therefore taking an unfair advantage
of the man.”
There are more sides than one to
this question, and the subject will
bear a great deal of discussion. So
tar as I can see, as long as men make
the laws and enforce them, the poor,
dear young men U -ve a hope of safe
ty. The cnances are at least in their
favor, for nature, custom and iaw
are on their side.
In one respect, the young men of
Georgia have a right to ask for a
chance, and that ie in the direction
of industrial education.
The subject is tar reaching and of- '
feis a wide field for discussion. As .
far as education in literature and ab
stract science is concerned, Georgia
has done well,or her sons. It is true '
that the common school education as ;
offered by the state is not the most I
thorough and comprehensive, but 1
there are few young men who cannot
obtain a good common and generally
a liberal education if they earnestly i
desire it. Ju physics, in mathemat
ics and in the languages, a young
man may peifect himself' if he will; ;
the best opponunities at the leest ’
cost are offered to him. But if a
young man’s genius runs outside of
these, be is ieit to his own resources
in finding away ana the means for
the txercise of his talent. A young
mm, who has an artist’s soul within '
him, may secure here ana there a
crumb ot knowledge bearing on art,
tossed in a neap ot miscellaneous in
formation ;he must toil month after
mouth wasting his time aud energies
in securing a general knowledge that
Las uo bearing, or scarcely any, on
the study wbiea is to become the one
pursuit of life.
Perhaps, through some favor of
fortune, be finds o. friend or ueiper,
aud gams ihe opportunity he needs
to penect himselt iu tnat one voca
non, but oftener be must hide his
talent in the earth tor an avocation
for which ue is no more fitted than
the soaring eagle is fitted to draw
the plow through the farrow. So it
is too that a man wuo has an eye for
;he beautiful in architectuai designs
has within his reach only the means
ot iearnitig carpentry through the in
strumentality ot a plodding, irksome
apprenticeship at the carpenter's
table. ‘‘We need carpenter’s,” you
say. We do, indeed, out there are
numbers who will never be anything
but carpenters, whatever the facili
ties you may place within their
reach. Why, then, should this one.
aspningtoue something botier.be
condemned to something less than
uis ambitious desires. Would you
ciip the wings ot the bird that would
soar because your baru yard
fowl is content with his handtui of
corn and will not roam beyoud the
precincts of bis enclosure?
It is true that he who aas the as
piration within him will aid bimeelt
by the aid of the pour imperfect
means be possesses; but the best aud
most truitful years of bis life will be
wasted iu the struggle and the world
will miss much that wc uld enrich its
stores.
I have used this only as an instance,
but the same reasoning applies to
many other branches of technical
knowledge.
The State of Georgia owes it to her
sous to give them a cuance to obtain
a practical knowledge ot science and -
manufac ures without depending
solely on individual aid for that
knowledge. The schools of technol
ogy in our sister states or the north
and west have b en the source of
prosperity. They nave done more
' to build their tactoiries, till their
1 fields, to spread their commerce, to
■ fill their halls ot legislation with
brainey men, than all the foreign
• capital and all the immigration from
other shores have ever done,
i What is the use of having a poor law
■ yer statviug in the attic, when there
; might be a clear brained architect?
'Or what is the use of having a poor
: doctor without a patient when there
might be a strong, brave young arti
san with plea v ot nerve and muscle
as well as brains to aid in the devel
opment of tno interest of the state?
This Is a subject in which everv
Georgian should feel interested. It
is a need of tie state, not the need of
any particular class. I is to the in
terest of the rich man, because there
by he can secure work well planned
and well executed without the least
waste of time. It is o yet greater
importance to the poor man because
it offers his children the benfits of a
sound practical education, training
the hand and the brain a the same
time, giving them at once the means
of livelihood and tire capacity of in
tellectual enjoyment. It is advanta
geous to the state at large, because it
utilizes much material tnat would
otherwise lie was’ed.
By this I mean brain material,nerve
m terial, tnat which given a chance
to develop may prove of incalculable
benefit to the state, but which left to
its own resources may prove not only
useless but detrimental to the state.
We speak of the undeveloped wealth
of Georgia. We point to her forests,
to her mines, to her arable fields, to
h->r bountiful water power; but how
many think of the enveloped intel
lects that must move the plough and
the mil; wheol, and the locomotive
and the steam engine, and behind
the thousand and one delicate inven
tions with which man may pry into
tne mysteries of nature's domain? I
do not mean to say that Georgia has
not her quo a of educated men; the
history oi the past, aye and of the
present would contradict the state
ment, What Georgia wants to-day
la the hard worker with the brain as
main spring behind him. In a neigha
boring city, a public building was to
be constructed and the local archi
tect was called upon for plans. The
building was erected after the plan
submitted by him. It, was pretty,
that was all .hat could be said of it;
in respect of cor. fort or adaptibility
to the purpose sot which it was de
signed, it was a failure.
“Yousreakso much of home tal
ent,” a friend said co me. “Probably
you will admit now chat it would
have been belter to have calledin
foreign talent.”
"I admit no such thing, but I think
it is a shame that there was not na
tive talent enough to design a suita
ble building.”
After ail, the want is not in the tal
ent but in the want of man to devel
op the talent, So whatever course we
ake the question moves in a circle
back to its starting point. Talent
alone, unaided, undeveloped, wid
avail nothing. There must be some
thing toe ill for the talent spark,
there must be an education of the fin
gers as well as of the brain. A child
may have a wondrous vision of what
might be. but the unskilled fingers
can make nothing of the idea. But
when you take the weak clumsy Au
gers and teach them to handle the
chisel, the pencil, the brush; to send
the shuttle flying; to move that
mighty engine that throbs and pants
like the great heart of nature;to plan
and invent, making the eye and the
fingers the handmaids of the brain,
then you have ratren the idea and
made it a reality; you have set an
other to force work; you have enrich
ed the capital of your State by the
strength and intelligence of one.
Bat wMen you take one and another
ami another, wnen you spread them
here, there and everywhere, and set
all of these brains and fingers work
ing, think wbat a multitude of forces
you have set in motion. Could it be
otherwise than that the State should
be ricner for ail this development of
activity?
H ive we the material of which we
speak? This is a practical question
and should be capable of proof. In
answer I would appeal to the princi
pals of our public schools, the fore
men otour work shops, the superin
tendent cf our mills, and better than
all to the fathers and mothers of
Georgia.
Can tney not tell you of the bright
boys who seemed to have such a
knack at this tbst and the other me
chanicalart? What has become of
him? Well, bis parents couldn’t af
ford to give him the advantage of an
education that would fit him for the
flue branches of his trade, and he
wasn’t fit for the common hum-drum
elements of it, so he became a cierk,
or perhaps he lounges about the
street, turning his ingenious hand to
jack of all trade jobs that accomplish
no real results.
You blame the boy and his parents.
Tme he should have had the hardl
liood to have been something, even if
he could not be what he wanted to
be, but, remember all have not your
solidity aud energy, and think now
much an industrial school would
have helped the boy. It would have
been the making ot him perhaps, in
giving him a stimulus in the pursuit
most congenial to him, and thus
Georgia would have been the richer
for one earnest, contented soul, one
busy brain, one active body and what
a gam is that? J. A. F.

Chattanooga, Tenn., August 26
Miss Lula Hurst, better known as
the 'Georgia wonder,” passed
through the city last night enroute
to her home in Cedartown, Georgia,
from a six montue tour through the
nor. h and east, where she has exhib
ited her peculiar power, which is too
well known to need further explana
tion. She wae accompanied by her
f itner, mother and Mr. P. M. Atkin
son, her manager.
A Times reporter had and interview
whh rhe ladv just before the depart
ure of the 10:15 Western and Atlan
tic train. ,8h was dressed in the
height of fashion being attired in a
handsome brocade silk, exquisitely
trimmed. A jaunty travelling hat
sat on the back of her head, exposing
a profusion of the latest style of wav
ing bangs. She wore an elegant pair
of diamond earrings and a large soli
taire glistened on rue index finger
of the left hand. Altogether
■Miss Lula appeared very
faecinating. She received the repor
ter very cordially and in response to
to his numerous inquiries said:
“Yes, I have nad quite an extensive
trip aud am glad that I will soon be
home again. We left Cedartown six
months since for a short trip, but en
gagement after engagement was
made, and they have all just been
filled.”
“How were you received in the
large cities and what was the general
opinion concerning your mysterious
powers?”
“On, we were received very favora
bly everywhere, and in some cities
were entertained by the best people.
Concerning this singular power I
possess, I can not give you a more
definite solution than when in Onat
tanooga last winter. I have studied
bard to discover what it was, but am
in complete ignorance of its origin.
A great many eminent physicians in
New York and Washington at
tempted to explain It, but none did
so to any satisfaction, and not even
their own. A few of them told me
it was strength, but it is not the
case. My audiences in. every city
seemed perfectly satisfied with
my exhibitions, but like my
self were puzzled and mystified.
I have named it ‘’mysterious mag»
uetism.” The reporter assented, and
this seemed to please the magnetic
gtrl wonderfully aud she burst forth

“Did your power ever fail while
you were giving exhibitions?"
‘‘No, sir; I think it has grown
stronger. I discovered this in Wash
ington one night, when I sent a Sen
ator weighing 250 pounds rolling un
der a piano twenty feet from where I
was standing. Sucn a time as I have
had. All the high officials in Wash
ington wished to test my power. Per
haps they thought the dignity of
their position would lend them
strength, but their scheme did not
work. No; there are no grounds for
the statement that I have married
Mr. Atkinson. Such is not the case.
Ido not know that I love him,” she
added, tucking her head and raising
her large black eyes with a coquet
tish glance at the scribe. Mr. Atain
sor. was standing near and confirmed
Mies Lula’s statement.
“How much money did you make
on your tour?’’
"About $40,000 including expenses.
I expect a more profitable tour this
winter. I shall travel under the
management of Mr. Charles Froh
man, owner of the Madison Square
Theater, In New York. My next en
gagement is in Sun Francisco, where
I appear on September the Bth, and
will remain there four weeks. I shall
then make a tour of the entire West.
I shall come tojOhattanooga if possi
ble, but that rests solely with Mr.
Frohman.” Again assuring the re
porter that she was not married, he
bid her good-bye, without shaking
hands lest he be hurled under a mov
ing train by her magnetism, or
thrown to the roof of the depot.

The Washington Monument.
Washinqton, August 23.—Workmen
on tire Washington monument are
engaged in hoisting and placing in
position the long and heavy spars
which will form the pedestal of the
derrick. The timbers are eight in
number, and owing to the difficulty
of working in the narrow space ou
the top of the monument there was
necessity of having the timber per
fectly fast in position before leaving
them. Work was begun at daylight
this morning and is being completed
to-night. The electric lights from the
treasury building and Smithsonian
institute are focused on top of the
monument to enableithe mon to work.
It is a novel and unearthly sight to
behold men at work in the glare of
the electric light hoisting huge tim
bers 500 feet in the air.
