SAVE THE CHILDREN.

The grand jury of Richmond county,
Ga. the county in which Augusta is
situated. has recommended that the
Legislature enact law TO compel chill
dren between seven and twelve years
of age to attend school at least seven
months in the year. The action OF the
grand jury is approved by the Board
OF Education.
The fact that this movement had its
origin in the grand jury room Is full
OF significance. The grand jury deals
with the criminal class. and the mem
bers know that that class is recruited
from children who do not attend school.
The child that is educated on the
street will be graduated criminal,
unless some miraculous power inter-
venes to save. In Richmond county
Here are approximately 1000 children
Between the ages OF seven and twelve
that do not attend school. The child
labor law prevents them from work
ing, and they are growing up in igno-
rance and idleness. What hope is there
for them, If the State does not come
TO the rescue? The schools have been
provided, and we are Informed that the
facilities are ample. But the children

had passed upon It. Whether or not
the nctuary was responsible for 1t, we

Commission examined It and found It
to be inaccurate and grossly unjust to
the company. it was adding iinpudence
to injury for him to demand that it be

The incident. however, is not with
out its lesson. 1t goes to show how
careful the Insurance Commissioner
should be in engaging nctuaries for
such service. The reputation Of an

they need not be pointed out.
