... THE...
Public Mind
To The Herald:
I would like to add a little more to
the already heaping pile of Informa
tion and dlecuaelons on the new ne
eropolia which Is being laid out on the
old Fleming place, on the Hill. While
there has been a great deal hi.ld about
the present name, no one seems to he
able to suggest a new one, thnt Is ex
cept the frayed one of, "Greenwood,"
And we have already had objections
to that, and 1 my self don’t think It
would be suitable for such a sacred
place as God's acre.
I don't think It would he a good Idea
to have a name that nine-tenth* of tho
population of the City of Augusta
could understand much Ichs pronounce.
Even though a high sounding name
would be a good Idea, for the late,
cemeteries seem to have become places
of beauty, and In the larger cities thou
sands of people visit them dally. And
It seems that the more unknown the
name ts, the more attraction the place
holds. Kuch names as the I’erc la
Chaise and the t'ampo Santo would he
very appropriate, especially the t'ampo
Bnrito (sacred place) the name has the
true ring to It, and also the meaning Is
there.
Still in this modern every-day world
of ours we seem to prefer the common
Americanized English words, that is,
words use.' every day by the average
person. So why not try one after our
own great burial-places? Take for
Instance our national cemeteries such
as Arlington Heights. Then again
some of us might not he so partial to
that, a* It has a military sound to
It, hut still military suggests patriot
ism. and are we not parttotte to our
dead? Although Arlington Heights
sounds alright, we could drop the
Heights (though It Is on the Hill) and
call It Arlington Cemetwry.
And again suppose we come down to
more every-da.v words say s name
which suggest Its location such as
Laurel Hill, Rose 11111 or even call It
Aumnnd, and personally I don't think
the last sounds bad at all, for are we
not going to have a new suburb not
very far from this location? A place
where a great many people, that Is
when It ts more thickly populated, will
bury their dead? Then we could take
the name of Graceland and of all 1
have mentioned 1 1 like this best. lads
get together and get a name that
would do credit to Augusta Some
thing like, as I have mentioned above,
Citmpn Santo, Arlington or Graceland.
They all seem very appropriate

REPLIES TO "P. Hr
To The Herald:
P. N. In the Speaking the Public
Mind Column goes a great length to
criticize the present system of teach
ing children of today and cites a prob
lem that he was »o well taught when a
hov of twelve yeara thnt ho never for
got it When hie 18-year-old boy
could not work tit, via:
"If the third of six la three
IVhat would the fourth of twenty he 7"
A* this la not a real mathematical
problem the average person would
truthfully any It could not be—but iih
the study of mathematic* la one of the
greatest developera of man's reasoning
faculties we have such hypothetical
problems that we have to assume a
fact that Is not a fact to solve this
problem and so here we go:
I yet us assume that three Is the third
of Nix, then six would be nine ns throe
thirds make a whole: then six would
be one and one-half of ilself, and
twenty would he one and one-half ll
■etf which would he thirty and the
fourth of thirty would be seven and
one-hall. 1 four that Mr. I*. N. Is do
ing his young son an Injustice as well
as our high schools h> such criticism
for his lack of knowledge of arithmetic
that he possessed, lam satisfied i(
you want your son to learn a trHtle
and he proficient at tt. he will have to
choose one that he likes and Is talented
for. not what father or mother would
like him to be So It Is with tits studies
at school If I recollect right our high
school adopting this manner of teach
ing, vlx: A boy Is not pushed along
with his class lii studies be Is not pro
ficient In as In the old grade system,
It is now each study is a grade with
in Itself; he may he In the first class
In one study and In the lowest In an
other, according to his talent for this
special study. If Mr. P. N. would like
to refresh hts memory on n few sam
ples of true mathematics that would
seem at first thought entirely different
to what the result Is after llgurlng
It, v!*.: A dealer sells two horses for
1150.00 each, on one he makes 25 per
cent, <>n the other, he losoe 25 per
cent. l>oee he make or lose, aud how
much?
Again, try title: An old woman
goes to market with a basket of eggs,
to the first person she sells one-half
of the eggs and one-half on egg; to the
second, she sells half the remainder
and one-half an egg; to the third .she,
sold one-half the remainder and one
half an egg and had one egg left and
did not break un egg. Aa you have
studied Algebra, geometry and other
higher branches of mathematics which
have been useless to you, suppose
you try this egg problem by figures?
I am not writing this to take any
part In defense for our school system
of teaching, as 1 feel that they are
amply able to take care of themselves,
but In.preas upon Mr. P. N. that there
are two parties connected at the
school, via: The teacher and the pu
pil, and possibly If hts son was no othfr
than P. N.'s why the teacher could
aav what part the hoy has taken, lvn't
bush-whack under Noir r>e Plume.

PRAISE GOOD WORK
U. S. AMBASSADOR
Much Commendation For Mr,
Morgenthau For Protecting
French and British in Leaving
Turkey.
London. —Dispatches from Turkey
received here today are full of praise
for the way In which Henry Morgen
than, United States ambassador, pro
tected the French and British In leav
ing at the outbreak of war between
the Ottomans and the allies.
The staffs of the British and French
emtmsales arrived at the Constantino
ple railway station to find a hostile
crowd present, while the Turkish min
ister of the Interior had failed to sup
ply the special train promised for the
numerous refugees outside of the of
ficial staffs. Only Mr. Morgenthau’s
Indignant protests and the presence
of Turkish troops prevented an out
rage.
Thsir Orders.
Members of his staff received or
ders from tho American ambassador
to move among the waiting refugees
and tell them their departure would
be arranged the next day.
The following day Mr. Morgenthau
took hold of the situation In an ad
mirable manner and Insisted In the
strongest way bn the Knglish and
French being permitted to leave. Ha
overcame all obstacles and obtained
tbe necessary authority to start tho
refugees away. Mr. Morgenthau
placed the British who wanted to leave
Constantinople under an obligation
which they are not likely to forget.
His staff also labored with willing
ness and sympathy. The French
school and hospital authorities are es
pecially grateful to Mr. Morgenthau
for hoisting tho American flag over
the French hospital at -Constantinople
to insure Its safety.
Toll Exacted From
Japanese Girls is
Deadiy As War’s
Karuisawa.—"Mora damaging to the
health anil morality of tho Japanese
thin even a serious war la tho yearly
toll exacted from the 200,000 girls who,
are recruited from the factories of the
empire,” says Galen M. Fisher, tho
American general seeretary of tho
Young Men’s Christian Association
for Japan, who has made an exhaus
tive study of economic and social
problems here. He set forth the re
unite of his studies at the special
action lat Karuisawa.
Mr. Fisher thinks that nothin* but
radical reform and the adoption of
progressive laws will meet the situa
tion. There are now in Japan a total
of 471,577 women and gtrlH employed
in private and government factories,
t.il per cent of tiie total factory force
of thi' country being women. Of thesn
t;f> per cent are girls under 20 and 22
per cent under 14 years of gge.
The hours of labor In silk factories
run from 13 to 15 hours, and In weav
ing factories and cotton mills from
10 to 12. Two-thirds of the women
workers In Toklo factories receive un
der lfi cents a day and only one-sixth
from 20 to 30 cents. These are fig
ures eathered by *!he Toklo police.
Two hundred thousand girls from
various country districts are enrolled
In the . factories each year for the
first time. Notwithstanding the ef
forts of the factories and recruiting
agents It Is said that any given dis
trict is likely to be exhausted of girls
In three years.
DISEASE MORE DANGEROUS

I detailed figures; and it requires little
! effort of memory for people In this
country to recall the facts of our sklr
! mish with Cuba. Now that this dread
j ed scourge has broken out In the Ku
j ropean armies, a few figures relating
to other wars will be timely, and the
[ following are taken from an interest
| Ing article on medical science in the
service of war ifi the special war is
sue of the Scientific American:
“The fire of the enemy Is by no
! means the only risk to which the sol
dier Is subjected. Where large bodies
'of men are gathered Into small quar
ters there Is always the danger of dis
ease. Before anti-typhoid vaccination
j was introduced typhoid fever rivaled
j the enemy's fire in the terrible toll it
took among soldiers. In the Franco-
Prttsslan war in the year 1870 there
were 73,000 cases of typhoid fever in
the German army. Out of this num
ber there were 7M)<> deaths. In the
Boer war tho British army suffered
from typhoid fever to the extent of
57,000 cases, of which 8,000 died. Dur
ing the war with Spain the United
StateH army was ravaged with typhoid
fever. In 1898 there were 20,738 cases
and 1,580 deaths among 108,000 men.
In other words, one man In every five
contracted typhoid fever. Even among
teh troops which never left the United
States, but. remained In the various
concentration camps at home, one man
In every six came down with the dis
ease. In 1898 nine-tenths of the
deaths which occurred among the
troops in the United States were caus
ed by typhoid fever.”
