"Spare the Rod.v

Some days ago we called attention to
an article written by State School Com
missioner Glenn, and published in the At
lanta Journal. on Spare the Rod" In
last Wednesdays issue of the Journal ne
has another article on the same subject.
The purpose of the second article is to
show that corporal punishment in the
schools should be abolished. He pro-
duces a great deal of testimony to sIs-
tain his position. Among others whom
he quotes is Supt. Greeting of Indiana,
in which state corporal punishment in
the schools has been abolished. AIR
Greeting says:
In the school room that discipline
which is born of sunbeams is better, Is
more effectual, is more commendable
than that which is the result of brute
force, either of viii or muscle. A little
more sunshine, few rules, much heart,
few clouds, is what we want in our school
rooms. There are teachers who can gov
ern with the full blaze of the noon sun
shine. Blessings attend their footsteps.
They are welcome when they come, ad-
mired and respected while they stay, re-
membered when they go. With them and
by them is continual sunshine. and teach
ing and studying alike become pleasures
that are long remembered"
In the course of his article, Commits
sioner Glenn pays handsome compliment
to Savannah. He says:
But, sir need not go outside of Geor-
gia to find what we are looking for.
There are schools in Georgia that have
for years past allowed no corporal pun
ishment. The schools i'm Savannah. from
the kindergarten school up through the
high school, have not had case of cor
poral punishment in ten years, and the
superintendent reports there has not been
a single case of expulsion, either i'm the
white or colored schools in that time.
The boast of Savannah is, and l believe
the record sustains the claim, that there
are more cultured people among the white
population of Savannah than can be
found in any other city on the continent,
Boston not accepted"
What the commissioner says about the
people of Savannah and the Savannah
public schools. coming as 1t does from a
capable and conscientious public official,
is highly appreciated in this city. The
aim of those who have control of Sa-
vannah's public schools is to keep the
standard Of the schools high and to have
the greatest possible harmony between
teachers and pupils.

The preachers of Leavenworth, Kan.
have started crusade against social card
paying. DIR. Thomas of the Episcopal
church told a day OF two ago Of a society
young woman who had dropped $500 in
a quiet little game at friends house. He
says that not only do the Leavonworth
society women gamble, but they cheat,
stack the cards. hold out" cards under the
table, and resort to all sorts OF dishonest
practices. IL comes out. by the way. upon
the authority Of another preacher. that
the young woman who lost the $500 had
the satisfaction Of seeing the woman who
won beaten at her own game. The sister
OF the victim. it seems, sat in a game with
the expert. and not only won back the
$780, but a neat little sum besides Really.
Il would seem that they have more fun in
society in Leavenworth than they do In
Atlanta.

In the Annals of the American Academy
of Political and Social Science for March
Mr.. Christopher G. Tiedeman, law pro-
fessor of the University of New York, has
a very valuable article on Silver Free
Coinage and the Legal Tender Decisions. &"
The effort of Prof. Tiedeman is to show
the difficulties which would have been en-
countered in securing from the United
States supreme court a pronouncement of
the unconstitutionality of a free silver
coinage act of congress, which would have
been passed and made law If the demo-
cratic party had been successful at the
polls at the last national election Prof
Tiedeman goes into the legal tender de-
cislons very thoroughly, and points out
the influences which were powerful in Sc
curing il. The conclusion he reaches is
that although the legal tender cases
would have been stumbling blocks in the
way of securing a decision to the effect
that free silver coinage act was uncon-
stitutional, so far as it applied to exist
ing contracts, still, the probabilities are
that the act would have been declared IN
constitutional, The article is an interest
ing one, and is evidently the product of
thorough investigation and careful
thought.

in New York a good deal of encourage
ment in respect to Georgia. He says that
while in New York recently, Mr.. Hanson
declared it to be his firm conviction that
il is possible to take Georgia away from
the Bourbon Democratic Association"
1t is Mr.. Hanson's belief, says the Press
CORES pondent, that under MIR. Mckinley s
administration Georgia will follow Mary
land and West Virginia into the republi-
can party. He quotes Mr.. Hanson as say
ing that the Mckinley ticket carried Sa-
vanuah and forty counties fairly" The
Press correspondent must have misunder-
stood Mr. Hanson. The Mckinley ticket
did not carry Savannah, though it did
poll a very large vote. But the Mckinley
vote in Savannah was not for Mckinley
and protection; it was for sound money.
To vote for Mckinley was thought to be
the surest way of defeating the free silver
propositon-it was a protest against the
Chicago platform 1t would be a mistake
to conclude from the republican vote in
Georgia at the last election that the state
is likely to be republican at the next ma
tional election. If the silver question is
not in issue in that election, or if the dem
ocratic party abandons free silver coin
age before that election, the state will
be as strongly democratic, in all proba-
bility, as 1t ever was. 1t certainly will
be if the Dingley bill becomes a law in
its present shape.

but said the teachings of Christ were far
more valuable, since a man might keep all
OF the ten commandments and still be an
unit person for the association of Chris
tians. In other words. a person may keep
an OF the commandments and stin be very
wicked. 1t appears, in the light of this
declaration, that the Kansas legislature
was well up-to-date when it declined to
enact the commandments.
