The School Center.

A careful study of social conditions
in Georgia will show that the school
must become the social and intellec-
tual center of each community and
for each race. The community can
not come together on church rela-
tions for these distinctions are closely
drawn and divide the people into three
or four sects, loyal to their own de-
nomination and generally lukewarm
to the progress of the other. We can
remember when there were as many
schools in a community as there were
churches, based upon the idea that
each church must educate its own
flock. In all enlightened centers three
little schools have given way to pub
lie schools, supported by taxation in
the interests Of all the children While
not run in the interest of any sect
or class, the religious views of all are
respected and used by the teachers
to enforce instruction in character
building. Here the children of the
community meet on a common basis
as learners. Whether rich or poOr,
Jew or gentle, Methodist or Chris
tian Scientist, landlord or tenant, the
difficulties Of multiplication tables and
long division; of parsing, and sentence
structure, and all the other barriers
in our ascent to the temple of know
ledge must be mastered alike. We have
come to see that these problems have
nothing to do with creed. Support
ed by all for the good of all we sink
our little differences and meet on a
common level just as we have long
done in our courts of justice.
What an opportunity this change il
educational policy gives the teacher.
When he accepts the principalship of
a school he represents the entire corr
munity and in the management of the
schools knows no factions, sects or
parties.
University extension courses could
be arranged in many places at small
cost. Thus the children as they grow
up in the school and learn to love ii
are not cut off on completing the
course but are bound to it by ever
strengthening ties. Teachers have g
relationship to the community greater
than that of merely instructing the
young They should draw about The
school all the forces for good. The,
must vitalize the community throual
the school as the center of its socia
and intellectual life.

that the Interstate Commerce Commits

States Responsibility for Convicts.
Attorney General John C. Hart has
rendered an important opinion to the
prison commission regarding who Is
responsible Tor the ESCAPE GT q con
Wet, if convict escapes who is re-
sponsible for his recapture, and if a
convict should die should The commits
sion replace the convict to the county
working the convict previous 20 his
death. Judge Harris reply to tho prls-
on commission in part is as follows:
"In the event of escape, when it
occurs in spite of the extraordinary
care and diligence of the county, it
is the duty of the state to supply the
place of such escape The cost of re-
capturing an escape should be prl
marily at the expense of the county
The foregoing answers questions one
and two.
"The third question may be answer
ed briefly by stating, in the event Of
the death of the convict not caused
by the gross negligence of the county
authorities, but the act Of God, it
is the duty of the state to supply the
place of the deceased convict"
