AGREES WITH MRS. FELTON,
AS TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

To the Editor of The Journal
l have been reading the many articles
on the public schools question, published
in your excellent paper with much interest
Hurrah for Mrs FELTON,! This noble wo-
man is. in her so-called "old age" not
only sensible but writes with a vigor and
evidences a disinterested spirit of patriot
ism that some Of her younger critics Wouid
do well to omulate.>
AS far as my observations extend l DO
not hesitate a moment to pronounce the
common school system of Georgia an I'M
mitigated humbug. Our people, through
their representatives in our law-making
assembly have been. victimized by wild
mania on this subject of education, which
has well night ruined the virtues of our
children, and threatens to destroy the
last vestige of the spirit OF MANHOOD ana
of womanhood that made our Fathers ana
our mothers the representatives or the
highest form of civilization.
How many really great men ana great
women have been incuoatrd IN -hese
shams for which millions are spent? 1t
was never thus when every man ana Wo-
man taxed their own resources to edu-
cate them, or such of them as would De
benefited by an education. Go on Mrs.
FELTON,, with your noble, true patriotic
work. and may God grant that your age
may long continue to reflect its wisdom
and graces of true womanhood.e Go on
with your good work until this miserable
swindlng humbug of common school
education shall be abolished and we re-
turn to the honest ways of the fathers.

lated to be of benefit to any one. Their
tendency is to create unrest and suspi-

accomplished and to Increase our illit-
eracy, already alarming. To the children

this war of indiscriminate and reckless
elimination presents a spectacle at least
unique and perpleXing, not to say tncon-

MISTAKE. Above all things, next to
matters religious, the school affairs or

The facts which are coming to light
concerning the cruel massacre or thou-
sands of Cinnamon who were driven into
the river Amur and drowned in June, lSVO'
are enough to call for national interIer-
ence and a protest from all civilized lands.
The number of, lives sacrificed is set
down at various figures, ranging from 5000

of Blagonestchensk were driven TO the
waters ledge and then pushed into the
river by COssacks.
The river Amur divides Russia from
China, but the Chinese living on the Rus
sian side of the river were peaceable set
tiers. money makers, and the russians
claim that some shots were fired from the
Chinese side for which offense the inno-
cent Chinese living in the little Russian
town were so foully murdered.
When the orders were issued for the re-
movaI of all the Chinese settlers on the
Russian side it was said that boats would
be ready to transport them. but after they
were driven to the waters edge by Cos
sack whips and bayonets, there were no
boats in sight, so the poor wretches were

means, of course, thorough knoWieuse
of the common school subjects ana now
to teach them; but also it means sewing,
cooking, drawing, color work, manual
training, the handcrafts, nature study, ana
other things of this sort which now are to
be found in common schools everywhere.
The work shops are filled in the after
moons with students busy at clay model
ing, basket weaving, knife work ana
sloyd burnt wood work, and shuck nat
making. All of these are occupations
which might well go on in every rural
school They mean a utilization of ener-
gies, tastes, talents and materials, which
now go to waste in our farm life. Little
by little these school industries viii be
transferred to the homes Of the school
community, where they will become re-
munerative household and fireside indus
tries.
This will mean not only a quickening OF
invention, taste, and skill. but also an in
crease of the total family income One
young woman of a neighboring county mas
already made over two hundred dollars
making and selling shuck hats. A dealer
in Pawtucket, r. l., has already written
to this school for supplies of these tasteful
summer hats. Another teacher, formerly
a student of this school, is now filling an
order for fifty. willow baskets. The pu-
pills of her school are, for the most part
doing this work.
These household Industries are to be
found in all the old world countries, but
they have been conspicuously meager In
the life of the plain people of the south.
In this and other
southern states, intelligent and tasteful
occupation almost as much as we need
education. The federation schools In FLOYD
and Madison counties, established by the
Womans clubs, are doing just this sort
of work. They will go on to complete sue
cess and this institution will furnish
teachers abundantly for just such schools
in every county in Georgia.
Common school education may not need
to be less bookish, perhaps, but 1t does
need to be more practical. The quality
of our civilization is dependent, not upon
education, but upon education of the right
kind Rural school education is pre-emi-
nently the great school question of the
south. Eight-ninths of the school children
of Georgia live in the country. This
school is school for the preparation OF
public school teachers. In this work and
purpose 1t is, perhaps, more nearly related
to the masses of the people than any
school in the state 1t is wholly norman
school. 1 wish to add a cordial word of
appreciation of the work Of the Girls
Normal and Industrial School at Milledge-
willie.
Mr.. George Foster Peabody has given
the school $4,000 toward the commodious
and well equipped school building that we
so sadly need, We confidently expect the
next Georgia legislature to give the adj
ditionaI $4,000 necessary to secure this
building. z. c. BRANSON,
President Of Georgia Normal School.

RUSSIAN MASSACRE OF CHINESE.

ing to the Amur river. They do not hest
tate to take all within reach.
In the late war of the allied forces on
China, the Russians were said to be 1e-
rocious brutes.
Chinese women drowned themselves by
the score in wells and water courses to
escape contact with Cossack beasts of
prey, who spared neither innocence or
sex. Because this country was mixed up
in The affair. we hear but little of these
atrocities, but all such things leak out in
time.
There is no. trder declaration in the
Bible than BE sure your sin viii find you
out"
There are ugly hints now as TO disgrace
full looting, and the poor Cinnamon Of both
sexes were known to be at the mercy Of
a rapacious foe.
When I recoIlect the brutalities which
the Chinese have suffered for a quarter
of a century In this republic, it would
appear that human nature is but little
modified or improved by civilization and
religion.
And it is beyond contradiction that the
religious denominations which send mis-
sionaries to China to teach love.to all men
in the name of Christ are either indiffer-
ent or incapable of giving the poor Chi
nese protection from cruel violence and
bodily injury from mobs in the United
States.
Overcrowded China is not allowed to
secure to its starving population foot OF
ground to cultivate in other countries.
even when that cultivation would give
floods of profit to the owners cf the soil,
or more properly to claimants of the soil.

This is the time of the year when
the annual pilgrimage to Mecca occurs
and again there comes the sad story
that cholera prevails among those who
are arriving in the sacred city. From
200 to 300 persons are dying daily
Cholera is nearly always a feature of
these annual pilgrimages, but the evil
is particularly serious this year, and
fears are expressed that its ravages
will reach an alarming extent when
the great food of pilgrims arrive at
the port of Jeddah on their way to
Mecca.
1t is diflcult to estimate the num-
Der of pilgrims who annually visit the
holy city. Only these who pass
through Jeddah are counted with more
or less accuracy. The large caravans
that travel south through the Arabian
desert, have never been counted and
only rough estimates have been made
OF the number of people coming by
these land routes. 1t was estimated in
1914 that the totai number of pilgrims
visiting Mecca in that year was 10000.
It is believed that this year the total

president created for him. In 1897 he
attracted attention by negotiating a
Russian loan of $4,000 600, which was
the first foreign loan ever negotiated
in this country. He became friendly

"Who wouldn't die for another star
in the 1ag?"
These were the last words of a hero
OF the Spanish-American war who, a
moment after their utterance, fell
upon San Juan Hill, pierced by a
Mauser bullet. They were words
worthy to be inscribed upon the scroll
of Immortality, yet this hero was but
one ofmany brave Americans who gave
their all for their country and battled
for the flag and humanity in the
tropics.
1t is in honor of these that a mon
ument has been erected in the Spanish
war section of Arlington cemetery,
which was unveiled Wednesday with
impressive ceremonies. The shaft IS
40 feet high and is surmounted by a
massive cannon ball encircled by the
