Something Regarding the Extensive
Workings of the System Whereby
Pay is Received for the Use Of
Freight Cars.
What Is known as the per diem and
demurrage system, that was adopted by
almost all of the larger roads west of
Chicago on or before July last, is
elaborate in the extreme, and the
amount Of work involved in keeping a
check on the needless number of con-
stantly moving freight cars is some
thing enormous.
The Illinois Car Service Association,
that acts as a clearing house for the
various railroads that have adopted the
system, does a greater part Of the
work, that is 80 far as the business Of
one road is connected with another.
This company employs great number
OF ms pectors, whose duties it Is to visit
every station of any Importance in the
west and check up with each connect
ing line, their reports showing the cars
delivered to or received from each line.
Their work 10 very similar to that done

The Industrial school. one of the most

contend with in that 1t Is likely to have
during the season now about to begin.
The schools sessions have for fifteen
years or so been held In the east court

that they can not allow the use OF the
room in the future for that purpose.
Efforts will now be made by the ladies
in charge to secure room In one OF the
school buildings in the city for two
hours q week, between 2 and 4, Satur-
day afternoon. The officers of the
school, elected for the coming year, are
as follows;

of the university at Athens with highly
beneficial results. But, uron the with
drawal of its revenues, ca IN of these So
called colleges and all of their supporters
turned to join the sectarian attack upon
the university. Let us have no more ex-
periments of this kind.
/. Governor Terrell illustrates his plan by
reference to conditions in Illinois, In
diana, and Ohio, If I am rightly informed.
Now, ii Is notorious that the educational
conditions in the states named are about
the worst in the whole country. and that
there is more clap-trap about these petty
agricultural colleges than in nearly any
other connection.
The only brilliant successes which have
been achieved in agricultural education
are in the cases of the University of Wis
consin and Cornell university. Success in
these two cases is due ID to efficient man.
agement, and (2) to excellent equipment
and plenteous income. Failure has been
universal where these things have been
lacking. Now, according to the proposed
plan Georgia is to have eleven of these
new colleges, each with an income of less
than $4,000 with which to pay its president
and it's faculty, and to meet all other ex-
penses. Success under the conditions
would be simply impossible. The actual
result would be that each of these, acade-
mics or so-called colleges, would consider
itself a rival of the university, would
struggle for the right of granting degrees,
and would fight with might and main
each year for an increased appropriation.
The sum proposed. $4,000 per annum, is
about equal to the present total income of
the University of Georgia, and is five
times as much as the university obtains
each year from the state. The only means
of progress in the state is by building UP
the university and not pulling it down
by such schemes as this.
The Georgia School of Technology is a
brilliant example of the value of concep-
tration of effort and resources. Break the
Tech into eleven scattered parts, and
each of the parts would soon become little

better than a crossroads smithy.
Instruction in agriculture at the Uni
versity of Georgia has in the past been
failure, for the following reasons: The
department was established about 1872.
because of the congressional grant. at
time when the people of Georgia could not
use it. Every man in those evil times had
to work with might and main to hold his
own, and had little chance for progress.
No students applied for instruction in ag-
riculture at the university. The professor
ship became a sinecure, and was con-
sidered a political plum. When at length
there came a demand that the professor
work for his salary that professor was
the most astonished man in the state.
Under the present efficient administra-
ton of Chancellor HIN the department of
agriculture, like the other parts of the
university. are being put into shipshape.
Last year was a mountaineering one in
the AGRICULTURAL courses, as in the univer-
sity at large.
The present need is for a more adequate
income to meet running expenses. The
poverty of the university is disgraceful
to the state. / write as an alumnus Of the
University of Georgia. and as a lover Of
the state and its people, and 1 am sure
that I voice the sentiment of thousands
of others in urging the support of the
university and in condemning the expert

academies. URIC d. PHILLIPS.

SUGGESTIONS
FROM OTHERS
THINKS GOV. TERRELL's
PLAN is BAD oNi

To the Editor of The Journal:
l have noticed in the daily press that
the new governor of Georgia advises the
legislature to appropriate some $4O'Oo0 an
nually for the establishment and main
tenance of eleven new colleges of agri-
culture in Georgia. No doubt the govern
orss heart is in the right pace, but he
speaks in this case without SUFFICIENT
thought and his plan is bad.
The administration of educational poll
cy is not a light task, and not to be
taken UP in a radical way without the
most thorough study of conditions past
and present, at home and abroad
Now the very plan which Governor Ter
rell proposes has been tried in all its es-
sentials within the state of Georgia, and
within the past twenty years. And 1t has
failed most completely. Beginning about
1872 the scheme was adopted or distribute
ing q part of Georgia's land grant money
to establish and maintain agricultural col
leges in the various parts of the state.
Sums ranging about 5000 a year were
thus distributed to each of four or five
institutions of which I remember the
names of the South Georgia. the West
Georgia. the Middle Georgia, and the
North Georgia Military and Agricultural
colleges. East Georgia seems to have es-
capped.
Each of these institutions struggled on
for a time, loaded down with its terrible
name and with the duty of making agri-
culture a popular college study. The fall
ure Of the system resulted in its abandon
ment in every case except that of the
school at Da-lonega. The funds were
withdrawn from most of these branch
colleges" and devoted to the Improvement
