Public school Recommendation


The state school commissioner and the
county school commissioners are more
thoroughly aroused 10 the Importance of
improving the public school system OF
the state than ever before. The main pur-
pose Of their convention. now In session
at Atlanta. is TO agree upon recommended
tions to be made TO the legislature for leg
islatiye action. There are several import
ant matters that will occupy their atten-
tion, one OF them being that relating to
school books There IS a strong pressure
in the direction Of creating board which
shall have authority 10 decide what text
books shall be used in the schools. There
are several advantages in having uniformi-
ty in text books. One Of them is that pa
rents. in changing their residences from
one county TO another. would not have to
buy new outfit Of school books for their
children, as is now often the case. At
present each county makes its own selec-
ton Of text books. and very naturally
there is considerable difference in the
kinds Of books used in the schools of the
various counties.
There are, Of course, objections to
giving authority to board to
select the kind of books which
shall be used throughout the state, but it
does seem as if the advantages of the
proposed scheme are deserving of very
careful consideration.
The state school commissioner is ex-
tremely anxious that the public schools
shall be improved in every respect. He
would like TO see better school houses. a
higher standard in the schools and more
competent teachers. It would cost
great deal of money to DO all that he
would like to see done, but we are inclined
to think the people are willing to pro-
vide the money. AS a rule the tax payers
do not object to being taxed for school
purposes, provided they see good results
flowing from the expenditure of the
school money.
A great deal has been done for the
improvement of the schools within the
last year or two. but the reform work is
only just begun. The better our public
schools are the greater the num-
Der of immigrants the state
will get. In these days immigrants
of the kind that Georgia is trying to Sc
cure do not seek homes where there are
not satisfactory schools and churches.
The state school commissioner is taking
the wise course in trying TO build up the
public school system.

Marthasville (allas Atlanta) is moved
by envy to cast aspersions upon shrimp
loving and ter-dinner-speaking Savan-
nah. Its criticisms mark the parvenu.
Horace. Aristotle and Alexander ate
shrimp and loved them. Demosthenes
lunehed on shrimp when he went down
by the sea to practice his speeches. 1t is
even probable that it was shrimp he
had in his mouth, and not pebbles, when
he was declaiming to the mighty deep.
Antony shelled shrimp for Cleopatra
at their little private dinner parties. Ma
poleon was a shrimp fend. 1t is sus-
pected that his shrimp reached him in
a stale condition the night before Water
loo. Oglethorpe was a shrimp eater, and
so was Tomochichi. The shrimp-delight-
ful tit-bit of the gods-has been known and
appreciated for ages wherever good fell
lowship and good feeding. enlightenment
and craftsmanship We're characteristic
of the people. Savannah was absorbing
shrimp, and making after-dinner speeches
and history when Marthasville was known
as Terminus-the jumping off place. That
interesting place has now struck oil. but
its taste has not yet attained to shrimp.
1t grows fat on suckers, and the burden
of its speech. both before and after din

The Hon. John n. Rice, of Louisa. Law,

two years retired from active life as Grim.

Judicial District Of Kentucky.
He has for many years served his native

tirement was a noted figure in political and
Judicial circles. The Judge is well-knowD
throughout the state and possesses the best
qualities which 60 TO make a Kentucky

A few days ago q Kentucky Post reporter

As to the Monroe Doctrine.
From the Macon (Ga.l telegraph Oem.).

A hundred years ago the republic was
an untried experiment. 1t was an OBJ
ject of fear and suspicion to Europe
an monarchs, and toward them its peo-
pie entertain a perfectly natural spirit
of hostility. The monarchies We're the
great and powerful nations of the world !;
our republic was among the feeblest. Since
then there has been change. The prin-
cipal mOnarchies have become almost re-
pubhCs, except in name, and our republic
has become the most powerful nation in
the world. The circumstances have entire
ly changed. Then, why should we spend
hundreds of millions of dollars, as we
would have to do if we took an active
part in European politics? And why
should we have a spasm of fear every
time there is manifestation of a DISPOSE
ton on the part of Great Britain to ac-
quire and develop territory in South Amer
lea? The Monroe doctrine is great enough
in its way, but il will be invoked often
enough if our government will have in
mind only the interests Of the United
States.

is subjected to tremendous hydraulic pres

Wednesday of next week (Oct. 23) has
been set aside by the authorities of the
Atlanta exposition as presidents day"
On that day the President of the United
States and his cabinet will attend the
exposition, and to a greater or less extent
take a part in the exercises of the occa-
sion.
Notwithstanding ours is the most demo-
cratic government in the world, and our
chief executive is always approachable by
persons who have business of Importance
with him, yet the fact remains that COM
paratively few people ever see the Pres
ident. His official duties keep him pretty
close in Washington. and people remote
from the capital may live out life time
without once having an opportunity of
seeing with their own eyes what manner
of man he is who directs the policy of
this, the greatest nation upon which the
sun shines. Yet every one desires to see
the President, whoever he may be When
President Harrison made hurried trip
through the south the people turned out
by thousands. all along the line of his
route, to do him honor. He was the Pres
ident, and it made no difference what his
politics was. 1t was enough to know that
he was the President.
The President who will be in Atlanta
next Wednesday is the first man of the
south's political faith who has sat in the
presidential chair since the war. And the
south put him there. He is the south's
leader and the whole country's chief ex-
ecutive officer. Under his administration
the south has witnessed measure of the
tariff reform that she has been striving
for for many years. Under his admins
tration. at this day. the south is enjoying
returning era of prosperity that is as
tonishing the world. BY his direction. the
policy of the government has been sc
shaped that all of the returning prosper
ity is measured by intrinsic value; the in
crease in the price of cotton and other
products is measured in money as good
as any in the world, and the money re
ceived by the people for the products OF
their labor is as good anywhere in the
world as it is at home.
Should not the south accord Grover
Cleveland a magnificent welcome wher
he visits her great exposition next week
We take it that there is only one possibl,
answer to the question.

a Cloud in the Mormon sky.

1t seems that the Mormon church is not
yet ready and willing to cease meddling
in politics. A few days ago Apostle
Moses Thatcher and High Priest b. II.
Roberts, two of its prominent leaders.
were called before President Woodruff, the
head of the church, and his two counsel
lors, George Q. Cannon and Joseph f.
Smith, and asked to explain why they
had accepted nominations for office with
out the consent of the church. Mr.
Thatcher is a candidate for United States
senator and Mr.. Roberts for member of
the House of Representatives.
This action of President Woodruff and
his counsellors has created a decided SEN
sation in Utah. even among the Mormons.
1t is regarded by many as an attempt
by the Mormon church to control the poll
tics of Utah. 1t is true that President
Woodruff disclaims any such intention,
saying in explanation of his action that
Thatcher and Roberts are officers of the
Mormon church and should not have be-
come candidates for offices which would
deprive the church of their services if
consent.
This explanation, however is not re-
garded as wholly satisfactory and their
are threats on the part of democrats to
vote against the admission of Utah into
the union. Many leading citizens of the
territory say they would rather Utah
should remain a territory than become a
state dominated by the Mormon church.
This little cloud on the horizon of Utah's
political sky may become a great storm
The spirit Of independence among the Nor
mons in Utah is cropping out, and if the
Mormon church refuses to recognize the
change that has taken place in public SEN
timent in respect to the church's domina-
ton in political matters its influence may
| suffer much greater decline than when
| it reluctantly consented to abandon poly

The current drought has put to the test
the paving materials used on the Dray-
ton street roadway and on the Park Ex-
tension sidewalks, and the materials have
been proved extremely poor The Dray-
ton street roadway is a succession of hills
and holes, and when the watering carts
pass over it, it becomes a streak of the
nastiest and stickiest of mud, from one
end to the other. The sidewalks, and
some of the walks in the park, are thickly
covered with an impalpable dust that gets
all over ones shoes in the walking of a
few rods, and is well calculated to son
and ruin the skirts of the ladies' who
must pass over it. The Park Extension
sidewalks could be made as fine prone
nades as there can be found anywhere in
the country. But nobody promenades
there now. The place is too dirty.
