The Cost of public schools.

Editor Morning News: Concerning
the information which your corre-
spondents seek in connection with the
cost of maintaining the schools of Sa-
vannah compared with that of other
cities of the country l will say that
what appeared in the Morning News
some time ago was merely the report
er's abstract of my full annual report
to the Board of Education. in which
this phase of the question is discussed
at some length, and in which wider
comparison is made with other cities.
Unfortunately not many of the school
reports of the Southern cities contain
the necessary data for making finan-
cial comparisons, and hence but little
reference could be made to them. The
point / wished to make in the report
was to show how Savannah compared
with some Of the leading cities of the
country in the cost of education. There
are no doubt cities in the South where
the cost of education is less than it is
in Savannah, but it is probable that
the efficiency of their schools is cor
respondingly low.
The object of the discussion as II
appears in my annual report is to show
that the expenditure of money for the
public schools of Savannah is econom-
ical and wisely directed by our Board
of Education.
l regret that the information sought
is not now available to me.
My annual report will soon be pub
lished, and If your correspondents will
give me their names l will be glad
to send them a copy, from which a
much broader view of the subject may
be had than that necessarily condensed
in a newspaper report.

Superintendent Public Schools.

WIFE DESERTED CHILDREN.
Husband Followed Her Here, but
She Refused to Return.


After pleading with his wife to return
to her two children, whom she had
cruelty deserted, a broken-hearted hus-
band left for his wrecked home at Co
lumbia. S. c., yesterday. He came to
the city on Monday in search of the
mother of his children, thinking that
he would be able to induce her to
change her course. In this he was dis
appointed and his entreaties counted
for naught with a determined woman.
The man called at police headquar-
ters when he arrived in the city, and
asked that the city detectives assist
him in his search for his wife. She
had left him without a word, and he
had traced her to this city with her
sister. The officers visited quite a num-
Der of boarding houses. before the
runaway wife was located. The man
begged for the sake of his children, but
she scornfully waved him aside, and
announced her intention to remain
where she is. Her reason for leaving
her home was not made known, and
the children will probably be placed in
an institution of some sort in Column
bia.

The club will join in the general raj

The pricipal and most interesting
feature of the meeting was the scorch-

said:
MY friends, it is not my business to
attempt to severely criticise the novlces
who so unjustly spoke at the last
gathering of the candidate who is do

like that of the Savannah meetings.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Jones,
since he closed the meetings in Savan
nah, has attended forty-three Chau-
tauquas, at each of which he made
from one to four addresses, he was still
able at these tabernacle meetings to
speak with the force and fire that he
manifested during his meetings here.
He was assisted by Rev. Dr. Monk,
Rev. DR.. Broughton of Atlanta, Rev.
George Stewart, who was with him in
Savannah, and Mr.. Anthony.
At the last of the meetings, which
took place Sunday, Sept. 10, Mrs. w. H.
FELTON, introduced a resolution express
ing appreciation of the services, and
these resolutions were Immediately and
heartily adopted. Other resolutions
adopted were expressive of sorrow at
the death of President Mckinley.

MIR. II. l.. Malone Returns From Trip
Through Cotton Country.
Mr.. T. Lewis Malone, of the firm OF
Woods & Malone, cotton factors, re-
turned yesterday from a trip through
South Georgia and Florida. The object
of his trip was to ascertain the condi-
ton of the cotton crop in those sec
tfons, which he found to be bad. Ac-
cording to Mr. Malone, the hot weather
that followed the recent heavy rains
damaged the crop greatly, causing it
to shed in many sections, while in 9TH
ers the damage was caused by rust.
Much of the crop in the South Geor-
gia section was opened when the rains
came, and therefore. exposed to the
rigors of the weather. Mr.. Malone
states that, in his opinion, the sea
island crop will not suffer much from
the rains for the reason that it was
not opened to any large extent. II
anything, the sea island crop was bene-
flied by the wet spell.
