Women and the School of Tech
nOIOgV.

UOlO8N.
The report of the committee on the pro-
posed school oftechnolOgy contains sug-
-estiOn which does not appear TO have at
tracted much, If any. attention. and yet it is
deserving Of very careful consideration.
The suggestion is that the fields Of ac-
tiyity and new life. which technical or
industrial school will open up, can not
and ought not be for the benefit Of young
men only"
In support Of this suggestion the COM
mittee, in their report, say: IF there be
one feature in this class Of schools that is
more interesting and inspiring than an
other. it IS their especial adaptability 10
the wants of youth. without regard to sex
or that great class Of our people whose
members are ever in the forefront in every
work that Will advance the best interests
Of the State" The committee do not urge
that provision be made for the education
Of women in the proposed school at once.
Why not at Onces Why should
not women have equal opportunities with
men. If it is right that they should have
place in the school there is no good rea-
son why they should not nave it now. If
there is any credit connected with OPEN
Ing schools Of this character to women,
let Georgia have it. several things could
he taught which women can do as well as
men. In fact the Legislative Committee
suggests that young women be trained
in drawing and wood engraving. in
photography. in type writing, telegraphy-
design, etc. The struggle Of women for a
livelihood, especially those who have been
accustomed TO the comforts and refine
ments Of life. and have met with misfOr-
tune, is very hard. The avenues of en-
ployment open to them are comparatively
few, and they are so 0vercrowded that
compensation is reduced i'm nearly all of
them to a point where it barely affords
food and shelter. As a rule women do
not succeed as we'll as men in
anything they undertake, largely because
Of lack Of early training, but some Of
them rank with the very best of men
workers in every field in which they have
come in competition with them in later
years Some of the very best clerks in
the Patent and Land Offices in Washing
ton are women; few of the best telegraph
operators are women, and a few women
have achieved a local reputatian in de-
signing and wood engraving. What the
young women ofthe present time who have
to take care Of themselves and make their
own living want is a change. Let GeOr-
gia give her daughters a chance when the
proposed chronological school is estab-
lished.

Nobody Deceived.

Whatever intentions the not very repu-
table anti-Bourbons who met in Washing
ton last week may have as TO a Presiden-
tial candidate. they have determined 10
keep them in the background. They have
evidently decided for the nOnce. 10 pose as
simple opponents OF the extreme southern
Democracy. But some Of the plans which
hey have plainly been discussing show
what their real purpose is. They talk Of
dividing the Southern Democrats without
avOwing the destination Of those who may

We doubt very much if the City Council

Last sundays New York papers give an
interesting and somewhat amusing ac-
count Of the robbery of an English
millionaire tourist Of his pOcketboOk, con-
tanning money and drafts to the amount
of $4,000. just as he stepped from the
steamer. on which he arrived at New
York. 20 the pier. The Englishman was
W. W. TAYLOR. who weighs 200 pounds
and sports a single eye-glass. When he
arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
having registered and been assigned to
a room. he casually remarked that thief
al the wharf where he landed had re-
gieyed him of $4,000. He wanted to know
If there was an officer in the service Of
the hotel. and if so, would the clerk be
Kind enough TO sendhim TO his room. The
detective and the clerk did not know
what 10 make of the case. The detective,
however. called on the tourist, and the
first few words Of the conversation which
ensued led him to believe that the tourist
had some sort Of game for beating the
hotel The Englishman said the theft had
left him without ready cash, and that
he would have to await the arrival Of his
pOrtemOnnaie. He didn't even know what
bank his drafts were drawn on. The de-
tective thought that the portemOnnaie re-
ferred to the lost pOcketbOOk, and he felt
prettv sure then that the stranger meant TO
strike the hotel for a loan. He was quickly
undeceived, however. The Englishman
said he thought probably his pOrtemOnnaie
was down stairs. 1t was down there. 1t
was a sort of hand-satchel. When he
opened it the detective saw at once that
ne was dealing with a thorough
bred. The pOrtemOnnaie was
pretty well stuffed with notes
ranging in denomination from five to fifty
dollars. The detective went at once to re-
cover the missing pOcketbOOk. He wasn't
long in getting it. 1t had been taken by a
well-knOwn thief. No attempt had been
made to cash the drafts, because it was
thought that payment had been stopped
and that an attempt to cash them would
lead 10 detection and arrest. When the
detective told the thief that payment had
not been stopped and that the owner of
the drafts did not even know the name Of
the bank on which the drafts were drawn,
the thief was so mad at having let $4,000
slip through his fingers that he took Offhis
hat and coat and stamped them in the
mud. Not mauy men who are robbed are
so lucky as millionaire Taylor was.
