SPECIAL EXAMS.
FOR GRADUATES
Will Be Conducted Early
in May by Dr.. Chan
cellor.

Although the Board of Education at
it's Wednesday meeting voted that no
additional examination Of normal school
graduates by the board of examiners
would be necessary to make them eli
gibie to teach in the public schools, It
is announced that superintendent Chan
cellor VIII himself conduct such addI-
iionaI examination before signing diplo-
mas This decision on the part Of the
superintendent is understood to be oc-
casioned by his desire 10 acquaint him
self personally with the qualifications
OF each applicant. and is in line with
his recommendation to the board at a
previous meeting that such a proceeding
become a fixture in local school regula-
ton.
This suggestion the board decided as
impracticable for the present school
year as the pupils of the normal schools
had contemplated no departure from
the regular examinations given hereto
fore
A diploma Of graduation from the
normal schools Is virtually considered a
license 20 teach. and this decision on the
part Of the superintendent is said 70
be meeting with disfavor at the hands
of many pupils and their friends who
fear a complete reorganization of the
normal school system. one. reason for
DR.. Chancellor's request for a supple
mentary examination was upon the
theory that there were more graduates
Of the two schools than there were
places TO teach.
The action of the board in declining
to empower the board OF examiners 20
assist IN the ranking OF the graduates
met with favor at the normal schools,
and although the superintendent has
stated that his examination will IN no
way affect the ranking OK tho pupils,
those who are to be subjected 70 II are
somewhat perturbed over the innova-
lion.
DR. Chancellor IS out Of the city and
his views on the matter are unobtain-

Editorial Notes.
BY Sam w. SmaH

There is an old proverb that "Whom the
gods would DESTROY they first make de-
mented," and the railroad managers of Amer
lea seem to be suffering that experience
Nearly every one of them has been forced to
plead guilty to unfair if not actually dishonor-
able, practices in the conduct of railway bust
ness with the people. They have been shown
bevond power of denial, to have bankrupted
railroads in order to get them out of the pos
session of their original owners by bankrupt
cy and reorganization schemes. Tt has been
proven that they have violated defantlv the
constitutions and laws of states. Thev have
been convicted of criminaly discriminating
between shippers. They have watered their
capitalization outrageously and enormously
taxed the public for upearned dividends
Now, when the people have awakened to the
robberies thus practiced and are taking. steps

Trusts in Great Britain.

1t is now claimed that the Trust is secur-
ing q domicile in Free-Trade England. For
example, it is said that J. and P. Coats, the
spool-thread men, have combined the various
textile plants, and that enormous profits
have been realized by the Trust. 1t
is predicted that other manufacturers will fol-
low the lead of the thread men, and that Free
Trade England will soon be as greatly Trust
ridden as are the United States.
But the Trust, in Great Britain, can never
be oppressive, as it is in this country. The
Jeffersonian can even believe that the Trust
may be blessing. over there. Why? Be-
Cause the Free Trade policy of the Empire
renders it impossible for a combination to
maintain unreasonable prices whereas the
merging of the various plants into one man
agement unquestionably tends to economy of
production, uniformity of quality and regular
ity of price.
Suppose the spool-thread Trust, for in
stance, should attempt to wiring an unreason-
able price out of the British people, what
would be the consequence?

many and America, would at once invade the

An official statement given out bv Secretary
Taft shows that the sum total of the charta-
bic aid Uncle Sam extended to Jamaica dur
ing the first two months of this year amounted
to upwards Of $4,000.
To this extent, the United States made
gift to the British Empire
Jamaica being colonial dependency of
Great Britain the duty of taking care of its
sufferers in times of distress, rests upon the
broad, strong shoulders of J. Bull
What The Jeffersonian would thank Secre-
tary Taft for is, a reference to his legal au-
thority for doing things of that kind.
Please tell us where to find the law for it.
The Jeffersonian has an idea-an old fash
ioned one, maybe-that the money paid into
the national treasury by the taxpayers is

heard somebody say that public funds cannot
be lawfully spent for any other purpose than
those specified in statutes which conform to
the Constitution
Will anybody pretend that the Constitu-
ton of the United States authorizes appro-
Driations for earthquake sufferers of the Brit
lsh Empire, or volcano victims of the French
Republic?
Surely not
Yet that is what our Government is doing,
right along
Whenever we hear the cry Of distress from
places like Jamaica and Martinique, our
bumptious, world-misson Government butts
in with such precipitation that neither Eng

ance, and in his outcry of indignant remon-
stance The Jeffersonian hereby whoops in
unison. There are circumstances of aggra-
vation about the affair which will cause to
curl with ire the beard of any Georgian who
wears hair on his face. For Mitchell was not
only snubbed at the grandstand of the James
town Exposition, but also in the auditorium.

'Mr. Mitchell was so excited that he called

l was treated shamefully' said he.
When | went to the grand stand they paid
no attention to me, and [ had to find seat
as best I could. The worst of it all was when
| attempted to get into the auditorium to at
tend the presidents reception. | told the man
at the door who I was, and he declined to al
low me in the building. He said he did not
care who | was
Nothing could be more provoking. "They
paid no attention to me!'
How familiar the sound. How natural the
complaint. The important parsonage is pres
ent, and nobody pays any attention to him.
The important parsonage has "to find a seat"
AS Mr. Mitchell we'll says, that was not the
worst Of it. Far from it. The btterest pill was
the conduct of the doorkeeper of the audito-
rum. This benighted and irreclaimable bore
personihed State of Georgia but, with a reck-
lessness which it is difficult to comprehend,
told Mitchell che did not care who I was"
The Indignation of Commissioner Mitchell
finds its echo in the hearts of all true Geor-
gians We have been vicariously insulted
In the person Of Mitchell, who was snubbed
we have been snubbed. Each and every one
of us has not only been snubbed in the grand
stand, but also at the auditorium Tn the per-
son of MITCHELL we have been treated, to use
his own forcible expression, "shanefullv."
To the full extent that he is enraged, we are
incensed, When he shall have decided what
to do about it, we should be glad to have him
call us tip on the Long Distance Telephone.
The Long Distance telephone rates are some
what eXcruciating, we know, but when we have
been publicly snubbed, and snubbed twice
once in the grand stand and once at the audi
toriunl-we feel that even Long Distance Tel
ephone charges must be endured (because
they can't be cured), and that we must line
up with Mitchell, promptly and Loyalty, to
help him do whatever he proposes to do.
