Prof. White of University of Mime
sofa Tells of Early Irish
Civilization.
Says Emerald Isle Was the Home
of Culture When Europe Was
Destitute of Scholars.
St. Patrick One of the Greatest
Missionaries of Christianity
That Ever Lived.

Ireland's influence on early European
history was the subject of the third
lecture in the series of public lectures
being given at the University of Min
nesota. It was given by Professor
Albert B. White of the history Depart
ment.
In the course of his lecture Prof.
White said that to Ireland must be
given credit for preserving classical
learning throughout the darkest Pc
riod of the early history of Europe.
and to courageous Irish missionaries
must be given the credit of dissemin-
ating this learning to western Europe
and America. AS historical charac-
ter, he declared, st. Patrick deserves
to be honored equally with st. Paul.
The great Irish Saint was given credit
for being the greatest missionary of
Christianity and civilization that ever
lived.
The Irish, Prof. White said, were
always ready to fight for the right and
to think and teach it. They estab-
lished seats of learning to which in
the sixth, seventh and eighth centur-
les hordes of students from Europe
x eflocked. Eight centuries before Colun1-
bus undertook to find his way around
the globe they taught that the earth
is round.
Our Indebtedness to St. Patrick.
"As the evangelizer of Ireland and
the founder of Irish schools and mis-
sions, st. Patrick was responsible for
the great work commenced by the
1rish," said Professor White. "His
work had results which at the pres
ent day are only beginning to receive
their proper estimate. We should re-
member March II as commemorating
one of the worlds greatest men.
During the dark ages" continued
the lecturer, "all classical learning was
being uprooted in Europe and scatter
ed. Fortunately a few brands found
their way to Ireland. Protected there
by the isolation of the land this learn
ing was rapidly developed. Never did
any race receive learning with more
rapidity and eagerness.
"Thus Ireland became the fountain
head of learning, and hordes of stu
dents came to Ireland to study, Irish
teachers invaded the continent. st.
Columbian in the sixth century was
the first of these great missionaries" i"
Among others whom Prof. White
cited as being noted for spreading
knowledge was st. Virgilius, an Irish
missionary in Bavaria who taught that
the earth was round. John Scotus was
another Irishman who was noted for
his fearlessness as a preacher and
thinker.
"Those," said Prof. White, "who
know the middle ages, however, know
that the work of the Irish mission
aries had permanent results relating
to the beginnings of modern civiliza-
ton. Ireland by her great past has
made Europe and the world her
debtor"

"SPRING" FLOODING
POLICE STATION ONLY
FORGOTTEN PIPE LINE

The spring" which for the last
twelve years has poured flood of wa
ter into the basement of the police sta
ton and required the daily service of
pump was found today to be an aban-
doned water pipe that was laid years
ago in an adjoining alleyway and then
forgotten in the rush of the city's
growth
After many complaints on the part Of
the police, the city finally agreed to dig
into the ground in the alleyway and
endeavor to lay a sewer pipe that would
carry off the water from the Spring"
Workmen today found the leaky- old
water main and promptly plugged it UP.
At that time there was twelve inches
of water in the basement and the old
pump was working at full speed. The
flow Immediately stopped and the
basement has now been pumped out
and will become dry and sanitary for
the first time in the remembrance Of
most of the force.

POLICE BATTLE
ST|RS 5 POINTS
Terrific Fight for BIueCoat'S
Revolver Follows Attack
on Boy.

When Officer Burnett attempted to
arrest Earl Zuber, of Careys. who saws
he is sixteen years old. on the charge
Of attacking a young white boy named
Roy Mauldin at Peachtree and Walton
streets this afternoon about 1870
O'Clock. Zuber is said to have attempted
Burnett's life with the officers own pis-
toll. A near riot followed.
Men and boys rushed to the scene
and the streets became jammed. When
Zuber was finally subdued and was be-
ing carried to the police station he
gave way to an attack of epilepsy. The
city physician. who examined him upon
his arrival said that his condition was
extremely dangerous. Zuber was un-
able for some time to give his name or
speak a word.
The trouble started when the little
Mauldin boy became involved in a dis
pute with another lad about his own
age. Zuber was happening along, it is
said. and attempted to take sides
against the Mauldin boy. According
to the latter's statement, Zuber struck
him and knocked him down. Zuber
says the lad cursed him.
No sooner had Zuber done this when
two other men rushed in and caught
Zubers arms. Officer Burnett then
came up and attempted to take Zuber
in custody Zuber snarled, struck at
him and by a quick motion Of the arm
drew Burnetts pistol from the holster
The officer was quick enough in
wrenching it away to prevent its being
fired
BY this time an enormous crowd had
gathered. Traffic was blocked and the
officer had hard time in getting his
prisoner into the patrol wagon.
A long scar was found on Iuber's
head. He said it was from an operation
for epilepsy.

Away With Disease,
Dust and Microbes

1t is thought beautiful that
a man should invest thousands
in a home and have a little
butchers shop stuck up next
door. Every man in Atlanta
has a right to do exactly as he
pleases. and that is considered
beautiful; but it is not, for
while a man stands in his own
light he also stands in his
neighbours light, and both lose
out. In a matter of dirt, for
instance, all cities should re-
quire that every householder
wash his front premises every
morning TO the middle of the
street. Away with dust, mi
crobes, disease, and all these
ills for which we are taxed to
build and operate hospitals

FOUND IN
INSURANCE LAW
Fidelity Companies Are Not In
CIuded in Act Which Governs
Risk Business.

Officials of fidelity insurance Compa
MES operating in Georgia made known
to the secretary of state today that
they had played in luck through an
apparent error of the legislative enroll
ing clerk who made the copy of the
law
The enrolled copy on file with the
secretary of state and approved by the
governor does not include fidelity com
panies in section 81 of the bill as was
originally intended.
Comptroller General Wright, who
drew this section of the act at the be-
hest of the inter-session commission
which designed the bill is authority
for the statement no amendment was
made to this section in either house.
The legislature, he said. had intended
to include fidelity companies in section
q, which requires all form of bonding
companies to deposit $4,000 with the
state treasurer to protect the state on
bonds written for public officials.
The comptroller general recently au-
thorized the printing of 200 copies OF
the insurance act from amended copies
of the act as approved by both houses
Of the Legislature. In the comptroler's
printed copies the fidelity companies
are included, but they do not appear in
the enrolled act, which really is the
law.
Officials of local fidelity companies
jumped into the state capitol today
with copies of the printed act, but left
the state house greatly relieved when
they found, upon looking over the en-
rolled act, that they were not included.
This is the first error that has been
discovered in the enrolment Of acts of
the 1912 legislature.
