The Governor and the Girls

According to Governor Atkinson, OF
Georgia, the Kissing incident, which oc-
Cured RI the commencement Of the Nor
NAL and Industrial School Of that
State, and which resulted from the
trustees reinstating a pupil whom the
faculty had dismissed, has been greatly
exaggerated. There was no Kissing IN
the han or during the speeches, but the
young ladies' did withdraw from the au-
dience. having construed the Governors
remarks to imply that the faculty had
been ousted. The Governor says:
when Professor Chappell went down
stairs some indiscreet members of the
audience who had preceded him, who felt
that he had treated the dismissed young
lady wrongfully in naming her, Kissed
as he passed down. The young ladies
present were, of course, much incensed at
this. and when l came down the stair
case, accompanied by the Board Of
Trustees, these young ladies'. who were
anxious TO resent the affront which these
indiscreet persons had given to their
president, Kissed as we passed by. |
simply smiled at them, and passed on.
| think it Is due to the young ladies and
to the patrons Of the school that l say
that do not think this conduct on their
part should be taken as evidence that
there is any less discipline, or that they
are less well-behaved there than are
students at other female colleges. They
simply yielded to an impulse prompted
by desire 70 defend their president, to
whom they were greatly attached"
True, this puts a somewhat different
phase on the episode. Nevertheless. the
question suggests itself, If the fin de
steele sweet girl graduate has reached
the hissing-point, what may not be ex-
pected Of the notwithstanding sweet
girl graduate? Visions rise up OF an
evolution. and a higher education, that
