Some More Food for Reflection

- :
: In the education column of the last
Independent, the State superintendent
of Georgia. is reported as; having said
to the legislature that all OF, the Icoun-
try school houses in that; State cost, on
an average, less than 50, 900 per county.
At the same time the State was erect
ing expensive buildings of quite an
other sort-and good many of til en-
jails. In eighty out OF. the ninety,
counties visited, the State had been
building jai1s costing from $4,000 to
$4,000 each, and making less than two
thousand dollars do for all of the coun-
try school houses in the same county.
The point is here: The State that
will not build school houses must build
jails. The community which will not
educate shall have crime The town
which will not make men of the bows,
shall have wrecks.
Now there is not a man in Princeton
who will not call this bad financiering
for Georgia.; and yet, are we not doing
something which parallels it in folly?
Not in respect to school houses, for we
have good school. equipment but in
respect to some institution to meet the
needs of the boys and girls while out of
school? We have absolutely nothing
answering to this need. But we have
a Jail, and one that is used. There
may, possibly, be relation between
these two facts which we might figure
out at our leisure.
Why should taxpayers rather main
tain a jail, and keep up the collateral
running expenses of it, than support
some other institution by much
smaller tax, which would go very far
in finally making the Jail altogether
unnecessary? .:~:". - 80 -
There ought to be suitably furn-
ished room down town for the boys. If
we had it going it might in a measure
prevent in future ! much of
the social =. distress which. we
experience, now; and which
we certainly have no reason to expect
discontinued if nothing is done to stop
it. We have in town host of boys in
their early teens, and they are not go
ing tostand stilleither socially or NOR
ally, as their brothers in the twenties
have not done. With things as they
are, as these boys move out towards
adult life, they will 60 as influenced by
the institutions of the place. This
means that, barring the churches and
schools, there is but one direction in
which they can move, and that is
downward. Six saloons point with
converging fingers to a room which is
already with us-the Jail. ~. q
Georgia takes her choice between
building schools or jails, ane she
chooses to build jails. Build some
thing, Princeton must the only ques-
ton is, what? ~ 50 .:sFs5,ss M.

relative to the late election:

Compared with the election Of 1885, the
Republicans have gained in some places
and lost in others.
'It was not a sweeping hepuoiica"
victory. On the whole, the result is
rot surprising when it Is remembered
that the administration is just concluding
n successful war. While majority
OF the soldiers are probably anti-Repuo-
ucan. the management of the war mas
been entirely in Republican hands, ana
the strongest argument used during 'he
campaign was that Republican defeat
would discredit the President In the eyes

"These questions were forced into the
