DR.. Gaines, of the Agnes Scott insti-

on the Importance OF educating our
girls. It was deeply entertaining and
convincing. How comes it that six
times as much money is invested In
giving our boys q high education a.
there is for our girls? Who are our ed
ucators at home and in our public
schools? Sixty-six per cent. Of all the
teachers in Georgia are women, and
they should have the best opportunities
to fit them for their vocation. Who
teaches the children until they can 60
to school? The mothers-the patient,
loving mothers all over the land, while
the fathers are in the field, the count

the club or the billiard table. Why
should the female colleges be neglect
ed by the state? Who are doing the
most good in the schoolroom, the
church, the Sunday school or by the
fireside in the establishing and perpet-
uating morality among tn. children?
Is it the boys who come from college
or the girls who cannot go, but have to
be content with such education as they
can get At home?

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
Under Discussion in the House-Mr.
Cushman's Unique speech.


WASHINGTON. January 10.-The
general debate on the river and harbor
bill continued in the House to-day
until O'Clock, when the death OF Rep
resentative Clark. Of New Hampshire.
was announced. and the House ad-
journed out of respect TO his memory
The features of the debate to-day
were the speeches Of Mr.. Cushman
WASH and IT Hepburn (Iowa.). The
latter has been persistent opponent
OF river and harbor bills for years.
and he attacked the bill all along the
line in his usually vigorous fashion.
Mr.. Cushman's speech was unique in
many particulars. He was in favor Of
river and harbor appropriations and
his complaint was due 70 the fact that
the members Of the committee. &C
cOrding 70 his ideas. had looted the
bulk Of the appropriations in their own
States and had given scant considera-
ton 10 the needs Of other States-es-
pecially ship canal in his own State.
Mr.. Cushman illustrated his remarks
with a series OF carefully prepared
charts. He criticised several OF the
individual members of the committee
in breezy style and became engaged
in half dozen very spirited encount-
eEs before he concluded, members
crowded about the area in front of the
Speakers desk. where he stood ex-
planning the figures upon the charts
and every one seemed TO enjoy the
picturesque performance immensely
When he wound up with a glowing ap-
peal for justice to the Seattle project,
he got a stirring round of applause.

President Raymond will leave the
West Virginia University. That much
is assured. He may not go inside of
the month, ne may even remain during
the current school year, but his days
are numbered, and the number is not
large.
A majority of the members of the
Legislature are against Raymond, and
any appropriation that the Board Of
Regents gets for the University will be
secured at the cost of his removal.
This will be brought about by the
reorganization of the board, and
when the list of new appointments is
made out the name of George c. Stur-
giss will not be found thereon.
The new board will likewise be
charged in another particular. Instead
of four Democrats and five Republic
cans, as now, there will be on the new
board three Democrats and six Repub-
licans.

Hon. a. E. Kenney has up his sleeve

Resolved. That special committee
of five be appointed by the speaker,
two of whom shall be suggested by
the minority of this House, said COM
mittee to ascertain and report to this
House why the assessments of valua-
ton of property of railroads in this
State were not reported according TO
law TO the various counties, and wheth-
er or not any assessment made upon
the valuation OF the property of any
railroad in this State was changed aft
er first having been ..greed upon by
the Board OF Public Works, and if so,
why such change was made. Said
committee shall have power to send
for persons and papers, and shall re-
port fully TO this House
Auditor LaF gillette last fall called on
Secretary OF State Dawson, who is al
SO Secretary of the Board of Public
Works, to know why certain railroad
assessments made by the Board had
not been reported TO the Auditor. as
required by law, and the explanation
was never given by the Secretary.
On the side it has been said that the
assessments were held up for the pur-
81 e /,
railroads in the political campaign
then on, and that. having secured their
aid TO the proper degree. the assess
ments we% lowered. The resolution
is intended TO find out the truth or
falsity Of these charges. The resolu-
ton will undoubtedly provoke some
very acrimonious discussion, which
will add TO the gayety OF the session.
