Is the Public School Democratic?

1t is undoubtedly true that most
public schools bring together children
of widely different social classes, and
that this may have broadening eff
feet by showing them that those out
side their own world are human beings
much like themselves. And this is an
unquestioned good. 1t is good also to
let them match their intellectual
powers, and learn that all the brains
do not live in one part of the town and
all the dumbheads in another. These
are steps in the right directions, but
have we yet accomplished that for
which the father said he sent his chill
dren to the public Scholastic make
them democratic; in other words, to
enable them to get at the point of view
of the other boys and girls? In what
way can this really be brought about?
First and foremost, by the children's
meeting one another in their own
homes; and second, by their playing to-
gether. The child that lives in the big
house cannot know the outlook upon
life of her classmate from the two
roomed tenement until she has climbed
the dark stairs with her, and been en-
tertained by her father and mother in
their own living room. Is the father of
the more favored child willing that this
should be? Or will he, in his desire to
make his child democratic invite her
schoolmate to play on his lawn or take
supper with his daughter in the din
ing-room of the big house? Is he even
willing that his daughter should play
with the other girl in the schoolhouse
yard? Many of the public schools evil
IDENTIFY take it for granted that he is
not, as they give no recess, and send
the children away from the grounds as
soon as school is dismissed. Indeed,
when it has been suggested that posi-
bly, the companionship of some mem
bers of the public schools might not be
improving in it's effect upon manners
and morals both parents and teachers
have said, with evident satisfaction in
the wisdom of the restriction: "Oh, but
the children are not allowed to have
anything to do with each other. out
side of the schoolroom!" And the
mother has added: My child under
stands that she is not to play with
any child that do not know
Now, these safeguards would not
seem to tend to the development of the
democratic spirit. Rather would they
seem to emphasize to the children from
the more favored homes the difference
between them and their less fortunate
classmates; to make them little aristo-

Asked Mistria1 I'm Gases Against

Before the sealed verdict of the Jury
in the case of the state VS.. Stephney
Roberts and James Montgomery was
opened and read yesterday in the City
Court, Messrs r. M. Hitch and c. H.
Abrams, counsel for the defendants, Of
fered objections to receiving the YER
dict, and asked that the court declare
mistrial as the jury had been dis
missed after rendering it's verdict, be-
fore 1t had been properly opened and
a poll of the jury taken.
Tn attorneys assumed the position
that there was an agreement that
when verdict was returned that the
jury should be polled, and that in
violation of this the jury was allow
ed to render sealed verdict and was
dismissed.
Judge Norwood overruled the con-
tentions, and said that his understand
ing was that, although there was an
agreement that the jury should be poll
ed there was no agreement as to hold
ing it, in the event there was a sealed
verdict, until the court and counsel
could be notified and be present when
the verdict was read, at which time
the jury could be polled. The jury
was called together again and all stated
that verdict of guilty was in accordance
with their decision.
1t is understood that the case will
be appealed to the Supreme Court.
Several hours were consumed yester-
day in taking evidence of officers of
the court as to their understanding OF
the agreement.

NO RAISE IN RATES

CHANGES IN CLASSIFICATION
MEAN THAT ON THE WHOLE SOUTH
WILL GET LOWER RATES.

Statement Made BY l.. e. ChalOner,
Assistant General Freight Agent
of the s. A. L., just Back From
the Washington Meeting-RepOrt
From Washington Was That New
Classification Meant Higher
Charges-Meeting Was of No Spec
iaI Importance and Only Routine.
Association Meets Monthly and Of
ten Changes Classification.
Mr.. L. E. Chaloner, assistant general
freight agent of the Seaboard Air Line,
with headquarters at Savannah, and
Mr.. w. e. Estes, general freight agent
of the Central of Georgia, returned
yesterday from Washington, where they
had been in attendance at a meeting
of the Southeastern Traffic Associa-
ton.
During the progress of the meeting
a dispatch was sent out from Wash
ington, stating that the association
had made new classifications of certain
freights, which would result in large
ly increased rate in most Of the South
ern States, and assigned as the rea-
son for this increase the fact that rail-
road taxes in Georgia, Virginia and
some other Southern States had re-
Gently been largely increased and that
the railroads were forced to raise
freight rates in order to overcome this
increased expenditure.
Mr. Chalenor denies the whole story.
As matter of fact, he says, the
meeting was but one OF the regular
monthly meetings of the association,
and only routine matters came before
II. True. some classincations were
changed, but this Is nc more than is
done at every meeting, as conditions
in the traffic world are continually
changing and the classihcations must
be changed 70 meet the new conditions.
Taking into consideration the entire
number Of changes made, he says,

that really resulted In decreased rates.

spection. 1t was originally intended to
send several details down to the ves-
sci this morning, and have them re-
port to the divisions at their next reg
ular meetings. This plan was decid-
ed upon by Commander Colding only
after it was found practically impos-
sible to get all of the members of the
divisions to the ship. Definite plans
regarding the formal inspection will be
announced within a short time by Com
mander Colding.
In addition to moving UP to the city,
Commander Veeder has made further
changes in his plans. He has decided
to abandon the trip to Pensacola and
will remain in Savannah until Thurs
day morning. At that time he will
sail for Mobile. The change in plans
will probably mean that other changes
will be made by the officers of the

of the vessel. Definite announcement
in this line also will be made to-day

COUNTRY CHILDREN
BARE ARMS THIS WEEK.
Vaccination Points Were Distribut-
ed to Country Teachers Yesterday.

vaccination PO1nts were D1str1Dut-
ed to Country Teachers Yesterday.
When the teachers in the country
schools of Chatham county called at
Supt. Ashmore's Office yesterday for
their pay, they were given as many
vaccination points as there were chill
dren in their schools. Both the teach
ers of the white and colored schools
were supplied, and the work of vacci-
mating the children will begin to-mor-
row morning.
This method, which has been in
vogue some little time, has proven
every bit as satisfactory in results as,
though the work were done by ply
stefan, and in this way all the children
attending school are vaccinated. Be
fore the custom of having the teachers
vaccinate their pupils was inaugurated,
it was found almost impossible to get
all the children.
The little ones soon learned who the
physicians were. and what their pur-
pose in visiting the schools was. The
usual fear of vaccination became too
much for the children to resist, and
when they saw a physician approach
ing there was a general scramble.
In order to overcome this difficulty
the teachers were instructed how to
vaccinate and points were given them.
III this way no children could attend
school unless they had been vaccinated
and the vaccination had taken. Under
the present arrangements all country
school children are vaccinated. The
work is also carried on at a minimum
cost to the county. The vaccination
points are furnished by the commits
sioners, and this cost, which is small,
is the only one incurred.
The plan has been found to work out
admirably. The teachers have become
experts at vaccinating. and there are
as many takes" as though the work
had been done by a recognized physi-
clan. There are more children vacci-
mated, also. than under the old sys-
tenn, and none can attend school who
have not been successfully vaccinated.
All the country teachers were paid
off yesterday. The reports made to
Supt. Ashmore show that all the
schools in the country districts are
progressing finely. There is an in
creased enrolment in all the schools.
Every department is being carried out
systematically, and good progress is
being made in all lines.
