Registration for the county is
supposed to be some larger than
for the first primary. The regis
trars extended the time for pay
ing taxes and registering until
the 25th, and several have availed
themselves of the opportunity to
register and be prepared to vote
next Wednesday. Interest in the
selection of governor is warming
up and almost to fever heat, and
will more than likely bring out a
full vote in this county.
The Wilkinson county vote
squabble and the long delay in
getting a correct report on the
comptroller’s race there must
have been embarrassing to Geo.
Carswell. Os course, George
had nothing to do with the Wilk
inson county delay, but any sug
gestion of trouble at the polls in
his home county always reminds
the public of the name “Ballot
Box George” that Tom Watson
gave Carswell when he accused
Carswell of burning the ballots
to conceal dirty work at the
polls.—Atlanta Life.
The county democratic execu

informed. Managersaud election

work without compensation,
which they will gladly do. The

One of the Constitutional
amendments to be voted upon in
the November election, entitled
“To empower Fulton County
Commissioners to levy special
taxes for the purpose of paying
pensions to Fulton County offi-'
cars and employees,” is only of
local interest to Fulton County,
but will be voted upon by the
whole state. The Fulton Record,
published in Atlanta, comes cut
in a strong article opposing tl is |
proposed cudgel that wouid be
used by the county commission
ers. While not disapproving the
pensiens to officers and employ
ees, is waging a fight to have
same voted down in the coming
election.

Object* of Education.
tu a recent series of articles,
Dr. Glenn Frank, president of
the University of Wisconson, dis
cussing some of the laws which
he believes underlie a thoroughly
modern education. Coming from
such a distinguished source, they
are worthy of serious considera
tion.
Among the principles he sets
forth are these: We learn by ac
tion rather than by absorption;
learning is specific rather than
general; the best things to study
are those which are important to
our lite and work; we should
study the things that wKI most
directly contribute to our effi
ciency and happiness.
Like many other progressive
educators of the present day, Di.
Frank does not believe that a
c liege education is either ntces
cary or desirable for everyone.
The four years spent in colh g<
might often be better employed
in gaining practical experieuci
in a workshop or in business. 1
dtpends la>ge)yon the natural
talents and inclinations of ;
young perron whether he shoul
go to college.
For one who is of a studios
disposition and aspires to ente.
one of the learned professions,;
college education is indispensa
ble, of course. For those whogr
to college merely to be able to
say that they have gone to col
lege it is a waste of valuable time.
As Dr. Frank very truthfully
Says: “We cannot prove that a
college education guarantees a
big income, or that it makes us
happier men or women. Most
of the old arguments of college
education are in the ashcan.”
