provements. The cooperative movement
among the farmers of Denmark for the
sale of their products has more than dou-
bled the return to the farmer for his la
Dor, and even in Ireland the Society for
the Encouragement of Agricultural Pur-
suits has brought blessings TO its mem
bers.
''Out of the ground come the products
which give our balance in International
trade. Upon the soil, and upon those
who till it. our country must chiefly de-
pend. The nation and the states cannot
too fully recognize this fact. nor can
they go too far in appreciation of it.
Above all we should resist every eff
fort to absorb farm lands by great cor
porations. 1t is from the farm. worked
by the man who owns it, that the great
est benefits TO nation and state and 10
all the people will come. and it is such
holdings that the nation and the state
should encourage.
Georgia has just broken up the lease
system and placed the convicts upon the
public roads. 1t is hard to estimate what
this viii do for the Improvement of rural
life and the development OF the agrlcul-
tural resources of the state.
THE study Of our educational prob
lens carries us beyond the school house
into the home. II requires the investiga-
ton of all those live subjects that tend
to improve the condition, and advance
the capacity. and add to the happiness
and contentment OF our people
Education is the problem of life It IS
the preparation of the child and the man
to be. and to do all which the opportu-
mites surrounding him make possible.
1t is the very essence of human progress
and human development.
THE highest purpose of man should
be to serve his God, his country end his
fellowman, and those who study how
man can grow in heart and mind and
hand are engaged in service which IN

p,eachers and Women's Hats

There have been some mutterings hearo

IN public lecture rooms and church con-

chicago the other day when a minister
fuveizhed against the size. the extrava-
Rance and the general unsuitableness OF
modern headwear for women. He warm

The New Convict System

For more than thirty years l have been
doing my QittleD best to persuade Geor-
CLANS that the leasing OF cOnvlcts TO pri-
vate parties was not fair to anybody. nor
Just TO the states good name.
When any criminal is sentenced by the
courts to punishment. Il is the bounder
duty OF the state to retain the punish
ment Of criminals i'm it's own grasp. Cor
porations have no souls. and the criminal
only stands for so much labor and so
much profit to them. He may be the viest
or the vile. but he will be favored in
many ways If his health and strength are
profitable. He may be sent up for twenty
years. for on yl"stealing a ham" but
that "cuts no ice" IL he is feeble or sick

inaIs were chained in the same places
with the men. One legislative investiga-
ton found more than twenty little chill
dren In a camp under three years ole
cd. all born of convict mothers on the
chain
To say IL was horrible does not express
the feeling we have when we know these
things did or could happen here I'm Geor-
gia.
But we have turned over a new leaf
and started on a fresh trail. The state
Is going to work the roads with con-
victs. Let US hope there will be an hon

punishment and humanity.

IN NOTABLE ADDRESS OF WELL
COME, GOVERNOR SAYS TIE
BEST FRIENDS OF THE NEGRO
SHOULD SEEK HIS DISTRICT
TION TO ALL SECTIONS.

Governor Smiths address of welcome
to the education conference was more
than that 1t was in itself a powerful
treatise on the vital subject to which the
conference directs all its work-education
in the south.
He touched upon education in its rela-
ton to the race problem.
More negroes should go north and
east and west" he said, land more
white settlers should come south EXpe-
rience teaches that the negroes improve
most rapidly where there are fewest ne
groes In proportion to the whites. The
best friend of the negro should seek his
distribution to all sections"
He portrayed the increasing menace of
child labor in factories as manufacturing
increases in the south-a manufacturing
growth that would be a curse if we
were to permit the presence of popula-
ton worn out by drudgery i'm childhood
and deprived of proper mental, physical
and spiritual growth"
Governor Smith said that the rural
schools constitute one of the )st inn
portant agencies in the making of bet
ter people He expressed the belief that
another generation will see farm life
made more attractive even than it is
today.
Governor Smiths Address
Governor Smith said:
"Mr. President and Ladies and Gentle
men:
In behalf of the entire state I extend
to you sincere welcome and thank you
for holding here this conference for
education.
while l know that the majority of
your board of control are southern men,
we may well find reason for congratula-
ton that you come from all parts of the
country and that your program contains
the names of great thinkers from many
sections.
ours is a land of vast area and di-
versified interests. 1t is well to bring
together men and women from localities
far apart that we may personally know
each other. and better understand our
common wants and common destiny AS
we know each other better sectional diff
ferences give way to patriotic devotion to
our country and an increased desire to
serve the human race.
1T would be strange if in such gath
ering as this there are not found diverg-
ing views None the less 1 welcome you
TO Georgia The man who has faith in
his own views should be pleased to meet
the man so unfortunate as not to agree
with him.
THE great educators here gathered are
all leading us i'm the same direction even
though they point the way by different
roads. We will grow in knowledge from
free discussion.
Practical Education
''I deem it eminently proper that q
successful business man should preside
over an educational conference. There
was a time when the professional edu-
cators. absorbed in their books, were too
far away from the real problems of life.
but that time is rapidly passing, and with
the truly educator it is already thing
of the past.
Education should fit the young and the
old for the duties of life, to enjoy its
pleasures and to be prepared for its re-

QUIET IN CONSTANTINOPLE
AFTER TWO STRENUOUS DAYS

CONsTANTINOPLE, April 15.-The
Turkish capital is again assuming it's nor
NAL aspects, and there is this morning
little outward evidence of the political
fermens that has marked the previous
two days.
The new ministry has promptly re-
moved Yaver Pasha from the command
ership of the first army corps and given
this post TO Nazim Pasha. Nazim Pasha
was minister of war for a brief period
prior to the fall of the Kaimil cabinet
and the malcontents among the troops
have urged his reappointment to this
post. He is a popular and able officer
and the command given to him today
will in all likelihood, be a stepping
stone to his return to the ministry. 1t
is believed that his appointment will
have q very good effect toward restor-
ing order and discipline in the army.
The trouble at Mersina is i'm no way
connected with the political upheaval at
Constantinople of the past two days. IL
involves a recrudescence of the army
question, which is religious and racial,
and has nothing to do with the interna-
tional' politics of Turkey.
There have been several minor move
ments against Armenians in Turkey dur
mig the last twelve months. notably at
Viran-Shehr and Bagdad last October q.
and religious rioting took place at Smyr-
ma In January and i'm Jerusalem in Feb
rUary of this year.

AND WEST DECLARES GOV. HOKE SMITH


q chance to live and to grow in the open
air. but we must insist that they be
trained in school for the responsibilities
of life.
"Our manufacturing growth would be
a curse if with it we are to permit the
presence of a population worn out by
drugery in childhood, and deprived OF
proper mental spiritual and physical
growth.
Improve Rural Schools
1.-The greatest opportunity for special
effort upon educational lines which our
section presents is i'm the rural schools.
THE power Of our nation, the preserva-
tion of our free institutions. must de-
pend largely upon the rural population.
Here is the opportunity for independence
even for those with limited resources
Here is the opportunity for the growth OF
a citizenry not so absorbed in the accu-
mutation of wealth as to lose patriotic
impulses, and not so constrained by the
danger of falling into the class of the
unemployed as to be ST .bservient to the
dictation CT employers.
THE population of our entire country
could earn a comfortable support upon
the farm lands Of the south.
THAT line of educational work which
turns the thought of the citizen to the
farm, and helps make comfortable and
enjoyable farm life. is the surest of fruit
! possible in this state to aid in this di-
rection.
GeOrgia's Agricultural Schools
"Our state college of agriculture is de-
voted to investigation and to instruction
upon advanced thought and scientific
! practice applied to the farm. We have
. eleven district agricultural schools in
, which the boys and girls are not alone
/ taught from books. but in which the
great object is to give their minds and
hearts the proper desire for broader OBJ
seFvation and knowledge of those things
which appeTtain to farm life and farm
| endeavor. while they are also taught how
with their hands to best execute what
they learn.
Make Farm Life Attractive
II welcome you to Atlanta because your
program manifests an interest in the
great problem of farm life.
Il rejoice in the prospects for the re-
moval of that isolation which has in the
past so much handicapped the man en-
gagged upon the farm. Good roads, faciI-
itating easy access to market, and bring
ing the social opportunities from which
the farmer has been deprived, should
1T is the duty of the nation and the
state to aid in the removal of the draw
backs which isolation has placed around
the farmer.
Encouragement by the nation and the
state of cooperation among the farmers
for the purchase of their supplies, for the

CATION of those questions which concern
their occupations, will go far to improve
the opportunity of this class of our citi-
zens.
Good schools for their children are
absolutely necessary.
Agriculture in the Old Country
when we urge governmental consid-
Grafton of farm interests in addition to
school work. we may well turn our
thoughts to what has been done in the
old country for agriculture. The Hunga-

TURKS MASSACREING
ARMENIAN PEOPLE

CONSTANTINOPLE, April ia mas
sacre of Armenians is in progress today
az Mersina. a seaport of Asia Minor, on
the Mediterranean.
Enraged at the murder of two Moslems
by an Armenian and the fact that the
assassin was not apprehended, the Mo-
hammedan population of Mesrina, which
counts a total of ten thousand inhabi-
tants took the law into its own hands
and attacked the Armenian quarters.
The Christian committees of Mersina
are appealing to the consuls here for
help.
Two American missions are represented
at Mersina.
