For instance, II has become a favo-
rite SANDER to compare deposits OF
certain banks with the amount of

bear little relation to each other. The

when it held that under Georgia stat
utes the father, and not the mother, is
tire natual guardian of the child

superior court. who had awarded four
year-old Jacob Whitman to his mother,
Mrs. Emma whitman, Of so Simpson
street rather tnan 10 he father J u.
Whitman. Of Cha lesion. S. G., the su-
preme court said
Under Georgia law tho father is the
natural guardian Of the minor child
The IGN; of ctsodg OF the child is pri-
marty with ;he father When this
right is resisted, even upon the ground
of unfimcss cf trust, strong, clear case
must lie made To sustain the objection
Of the fataers Ii sal right to claim the
child"
The courts decision knocks out the
popular iGea that a mother has the
strongest claim at law to her child This
idea. 50 the court minated was due to
continual vericts awarding the child
to the mother rather than the father
