Education at the Georgia
Normal School

At the Athens (Ga) Educational
conference the general educational
broad made q conditional gift of &c.,
500 to the Georgia state normal. A
good deal has been said about the
delicacy of feeling shown in the offer,
and we quote the Presbyterian Stand
ard of Charlotte, N. c., as rejecting
the impression created on the large
audience present:
On Saturday there was an an
nouncement of the gift of a smaller
sum of money that was given with
such a delicacy of feeling and such a
nobility of sentiment that we hon
estly believe is worth more as it was
than if its thousands had been trans
lated into millions. Saturday was
Memorial day for Georgia. And in the
midst of the exercises at the state
normal school DIR. Wallace Buttrick
of Albany, N. Y, executive secretary
of the board, made the following an.
nouncement:
/. The general board of education
SuUScfIDcS " the OCoASid StdtC III
NAL school for the period of three
years so scholarships of $50 each to
meet the 46 scholarships provided fol-
already by Georgia people.
2. In addition the board will dupii-
cate for three years new scholarships
of $50 each secured before 1908, not
exceeding so in number.
3. Understanding that $4,000 has
been secured by the Daughters of the
Confederacy towards a fund of 49,,
600, with which to erect a hall to the
memory of Miss Winnie Davis, the
board subscribes one-half of the re-
mainder, $4,000, provided the balance
is raised.
DR.. Buttrick followed this with the
remark that he recognized Memorial!
day as a fitting time in which to
make this contribution, as it was a
gift to the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy; that they were entering into
"the noblest inheritance of EARTH"
and that he and those for whom he
spoke claimed some share in it.

NERVE RAcKING OCCUPATION.
Driver of Fire Engines and Depart
ment vehicles Have No Easy
Time of II.

"The man who drives any of the
vehicles belonging to the fire depart
ment )" said an old fireman who is con-
nected with a downtown station, re-
ates the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"has no easy time of it. 1t is one OF
the hardest and most trying positions
in the whole department. Song writ
ers may spin their little theories and
arrange their little ditties in an effort
to show that "a policeman's lot is not
a happy one but the lot of the average
policeman, and j do not say it in any
disparaging sense, is simply a summer
dream when compared with that of the
fire patrol, the hook and ladder truck
or any other vehicle used in fighting
fires. Humanity is curiously morbid
when it comes to fires. The mere fact
that it requires a squad of police and a
long string of rope to keep the people
beyond the range of falling walls is
sufficient proof of the fact. The peo-
pie are, after all, somewhat like the
candle fly. They will simply rush into
the fame without any apparent
thought of incineration, and without
taking any note of the fearful eonse-
quences which are at least possible in
the case of large fires. 1t never oe-
ours to the average man that the
walls may fall when the floors give
way, and that wires may be broken,
and all that sort of thing.
But I was speaking about the man
who does the driving. He is the fellow
who wears the heaviest responsibility
after all. The sound of the fire gong
develops a rather strange passion in
the average person. 1t is ~curiousiy
morbid and controlling, and simply
forces a great many persons out into
the street, and they manage to get dam
gerously near the wheels of the engine
or the truck as the Ease may be. This
keeps the driver under a fearful men
tai strain. He has to keep on the look
out for wagons, street cars, bad places
in the street, curves, and all that kind
of thing, and, to add to the merriment
of it all. men and women and boys
crowd into the street and seem to-
make an effort to get right in front of
the horses. 1t is a passion. | have
had men tell mepthat often, under the
stress of excitement, they simply feel
like jumping out into the middle of
the street so the fire engine could pass
over them. ! suppose it is very much
like the impulse a great many men
have teleap from high buildings. But
whatever the eason may be, it simply
tends to increase the mental strain of
the driver, and so say his position is
the most trying one in the whole de-
partment,"

WHAT THE MOVEMENT MEANS.
The Significance OF the Educational
Conference Recently Held Mt
Athens, Ga.

In a graphic account of the educa.
tional conference held at Athens, Ga.
last April, John S. Cohen, staff cor
respondent of the Atlanta Journal,
saws:
Reduced to its analysis, this South.
ern Educational conference, the COM
ing of Mr.. Ogden and his party, SIM
ply means hat in the future the mon.
ey expended in the south from out
side sources for the education OF
whites and blacks will not be expend-
ed by generous, but misguided phi
~lanthropists, but by practical and
thoughtful men in the manner de-
vised by southern minds and through
agencies guided by southern hands.
Nothing could be manlier or finer
than the attitude of these northern
men of means here to-day.
As one of them expressed it:
you have shown us that the south
is trying heroically to deal not only
with the negro, but with great I'M
privileged masses of its white popula-
ton. You understand your own peo-
pie and your own problems as we dc
not. This work is, therefore, yours.
Take it and do 1t. In so far as we
can help you, we are at your service.
We have no desire to NEEDLE or in
terfere. If you will take the helm
We will stand by you. not as north
erners, but as fellow-citizens of a
common country"
A nobler spirit could not be
breathed into language, and none
need doubt that this correctly char
a~cterizes the aims and motives of all
these men. 1t is neither charity nor
pity that they offer, but fraternity
and patriotism, and l much mistake
the temper of the people of the south
if they do not accept it as such.
In proof that these are not simply
fine words these men of mind and
means have put their work largely in
the hands of southern men-not I'M
practical, idle dreamers, but those
noble spirits who, unaided, have been
battling for the education of the poor
er classes of the south these many
years, with limited means and often
times, sad to say, small %apprecia.

Just Think of 1t.

In the west hogs are fed all winter
on dry grain, and turned on pasture
in spring. This adds largely to the
cost of growing the hogs, but never
theless western farmers find pork
production profitable, especially when
they can sell the p~ork-eaters of the
southwest where farmers can grow
hogs at much less cost, because they
can pasture them all wintera and only
feed grain for a few weeks during
the finishing process. 1t is also rea-
sonably well determined that plenty
of green pasture is a preventive of
hog cholera, while Feeding corn for
many months is special invitation to
that disease to come along and take
some pork.-Farm and Ranch.
