pick and flower of the youth and chivalry
of Savannah; and the stately hidalgo, af-
ter each shock of arms with the Ameri-
can, has had occasion to murmur with his

touch is twice as great as that developed
by the eye. This means greater atten-
ton TO the sense of touch. OF the two
great phases of modern education one is
manual training. This is only a part of
the system of teaching the child to think
If you viii only let me construct sys-
TEN of education for the children of Geor-
gia, beginning with the kindergarten and
going right through to the top. including
manual training, 1 will revolutionize this
state in ten years." said Mr.. Glenn.
He declared in the strongest possible
terms for modern methods of education.
Instead of broadening the mind of the
child the system of education pursued
heretofore had been narrowing ii by re-
quiring the child 10 memorize in its text
books 1000 things which it would never
use and never could use If it lived to be
100 years old.
Mr.. Glenn quoted one of Henry Grady's
anecdotes of q mountain funeral, for
which Georgia furnished 1.-The corpse and
the hole in the ground" as the necessity
for teaching the children to think in or
der that they might develop the state as
they grow older. Mr.. Glenn especially in
dorsed the kindergarten system for its
beneficial effects upon the children in
teaching them to use their minds and
hands.
Mr.. Glenns remarks were frequently
punctuated with applause snd his views
were evidently Endorsed by his hearers.
President Meldrim introduced Prof H.
c. White. who responded TO the toast of
Science" Prof White said it had been
several years since he had had the pleas
ure of addressing the Hibernian Society
He was grateful for the many invitations
he had received to it's various assem-
blages. Prof White gave a brief and
pleasing review of the many things which
science has accomplished, which, he said,
are but few beside what remains to be
done His address was greatly enjoyed by
his audience, and he received a liberal
round of applause.

impression. Mr.. Terrell acknowledged

Mr.. Terrell contended that the real pur-

Georgia was TO protect the Kings settlers
in South Carolina and not to found a
refuge for oppressed debtors. This pur-
pose, he declared, animated her early set
