The Educational Problem.

Dr. Nunnally and Dr. Gambler, in their
addresses before the legislature on last
Tuesday evening. on higher education, ex-
pressed views identical with those which
have from time 10 time been urged by the
MORNING News on this subject. They
have no hostility TO the state university.
On the contrary, they desire its prosperity,
and are willing 20 advocate anything
which, IN their opinion, would help 70 build
it ap. They do not believe, how
ever, that branch colleges benefit it.
Indeed, they are inclined to the opinion
that they injure it. Young man who re-
ceive diplomas from branch colleges are
disposed 10 be satisfied with them, and at
once begin the study Of a profession OF en-
gage in business. DR.. Nunnally called at
tention to one branch college which, during
the time it was using $4,000 Of the states
money, only furnished TWO or three students
to the state university. Instead OF being a
feeder of the university it prevented
students from seeking that institution.
The main objection TO bra lch colleges, a s
pointed out by Or. Nunnally is that they
absorb much Of the money that ought 70 be
appropriated TO the support Of the public
schools. What Georgia needs is not branch
colleges, but better public schools. Every
dollar that the staUe can spare ought to 60
TO their support.
The public schools ought to be open eight
or nine months of the year, and the standard
of them ought to be raised much above
what it is at present. The teachers ought
to be better and the school houses ought to
have better accommodations Good teachers
cannot be OBJ ained if the schools are opel
only three or ur months of the year. The
compensation Of the teachers is small, and
if thoy are given employment only
quarter or third of the year those who are
really capable will seek some other way of
making living
The people are beginning to appreciate
the public hools, and their appreciation
will increase in proportion TO the improve
ment in the schools. Every citizen should
have that amount of education that is nec-
essary to be good juror, to understand
the principles of government, to vote intel
Igently and to transact private business
and also the public business which citizens
OF county are called upon to perform.
When the public schools have been made
what they shouli be it will then be time
enough to think about increasing the aid to
the state university The state ought to
have one great institution for higher edu-
cation, aud the people will willingly con-
tribute to the support of the state univer-
sity when they have provided for them
selves such public schools as they ought to
have. There doesn't seem to be any place
for branch colleges. When the standard of
tue COMMON schools is RAISED, high schools
will be established in all parts of the state,
and they viii De genuine feeders of the uni
Yersty.

Northern California's latest sensation is
the elopement of a young lady with the
best man of the young man to whom she
was en- aged. The young fellow who got
left was engaged in ne Wspaper work. His
name is Raymond Bierce, and he met Miss
Eva Adkins at picnic few mouths ago.
They soon became engaged, but a male
relative of Miss Adkins opposed the match
and on one occasion he ordered Mr.. Bievce
out of the house, whereupon Bierce pitched
him out of the window. The marriage wa s

1t has not yet been settled whether the
new postage stamp will be metallic red or
carmine, but one thing seems to be set led,
and that is that no saving will be effected
by reducing the size of the stamp. The bids
thus far make only an Insight icant reduc-
ton ou account of tine proposed reduction
in size, so that the question of economy will
no longer enter Into the matter, unless, in
deed, it should be contended that 1t would
be cheaper to stick to the present size and
color, as doubtless it would. "A change ill
size wou!d necessitate the making of new

The republican organs of Ohio don't like
the way in which Gen. John Beatty is
pitching into Gov. Foraker, aud they are
trying to break the force of his remarks by
characterizing him as a kicker. The gen
eral denies the charge. In published card
he says that he has voted for every repub-
lican who has beel elected governor OF
Ohio since he became a vo er, but that he
will not vote for Foraker for the following
reasons: Foraker's election would encour-
age governors to use the patronage of their
Office for their personal ends; it would lead
to the organization of rings; it would fasten
upon the st ,te horde OF professional p,h,
ticians and 'tax-eaterS;" it would sanction
fraud at elections; 1t would concede to a
packed caucus the right to thr title public
sentiment; it would suggest to dishonest
politicians that If state convention could
be captured, the state treasury could then
be robbed, and it would demoralize the
Republican party in the state Probably
the republican organs of Oaio will be care
full in future how they prod Gen. Beatty.

Mr.. Prover,a Ambition.

Congressman Brewer Of North Carolina
has been in Washington for several days,
and has been talking q great deal there, ap-
parently. A day or two ago it was an
nounced that he had declared that he was
an Independent candidate for speaker, and
that he was supported by the other sixteen
southern republican me rbers Of the House.
If he was reported correctly, he SAID that
his platform vas the repeal OF the entire in
ternal revenue system, and that he and his
friends would not 20 into the republican
| caucus, but, having the balance of power,
would dictate their own terms to their re-
publican brethren. II they could not force
the republicans TO accept their terms they
would permit the democr ats 70 organize
| the House.
From our dispatches yesterday it appears
that Congressman Br ,wer has changed his
views somewhat. He is still candid ate
Tor speaker, 1t seems. but he is no longer an
independent candidate. He is republican
candidate and will abide the decision of the
republican caucus. Doubtless some of the
republican leaders have told him that he
was not making a reputation for wisdom
by his talk, I'D that if be expected to have
any influence in the Fifty-first congress he
would do well TO talk less and think more.
The possibility of Mr.. Brewer being
elected speaker is so remote that it is not
worth moments thought. He will not be
IN the speakership race seriously, if az ALL
He perhaps has some local reputation in
North Carolina, and had an idea that he
would be big man in this congress. He
will soon have that idea knocked out Of him,
and 1t begins TO look as if he realizes
that he made mistake in entertaining it
at all. Doubtless he thought that his advo-
cacy Of the repeal of the whisky tax would
give him prominence. but few days in
Washington has perhaps convinced him
that even in his own party there is not such
deep seated hostility TO that tax as he
thought there was. Mr. Brewer will be
several years older before the whisky tax is
repealed.
As for turning the organization of the
House over TO the democrats, he has dis
covered no doubt that it takes two to make
bargain. The democrats don't want to
control the organization of the House OF
what use would it be to them, with major
ity against theml And, besides, the dem y
Gratis are not making bargains with repub-
leans. They want only what the people
give them. The people have not given
them the majority, and they certainly
would not accept from republican deserters
what the people bad denied to them.
Mr. Brewer now says that he will stand
by his party, but that he and his southern
republican colleagues will insist that fair
share of the best places in the gift of the
House shall be gwen to them. That is
matter between the republicans themselves.
The country dont't care mucn about it. 1t
IS doubtful if any considerable nu nber of
people in the south care whether M.
Brewer, or any other southern republican
gets workmanship of an important COM
mittee. Mr.. Brewer and his sou hern col
leagues are what the sou .hsrn republicans
have always been, viz, seekers after spoils.
