Editor The Georgian
Permit me TO say just a word
concerning the painting, "Septem-
Der Morn, over which such a fuss
has been made. Atlanta people
are progressing in everything ex-
eept art. But they are learning,
SO let US hope that the day is not
far distant when they will get
interested in art and won't re
gard the female form divine" in
any but a reverent spirit, because
the artist merely expresses the
beauty Of the human figure upon
canvas as the poet expresses in
verse the glories of the universe.

Dr.. John E. White and Heredity

Editor, The Georgian:
Rev ]. f, White has been
heard and read with pleasure and
profit by thousands of people, in
Guiding myself. Personally have
respect and esteem for him He
is a manly man, an aggressive
minister and an acknowledged
scholar.
But great men make great
mistakes" sometimes. and I con-
slider that DR.. White has made
in the article published in The
Georgian Of June Is some vital
mistakes, wich ought not to go
unchallenged
Mankind Advancing.
Several paragraphs are here
quoted from our brother that his
exact teaching may be under
stood. He says:
Mankind advancing discov-
ers its most formidable foes be-
hind it. The great obstacles of
humanity are not in the path be-
fore, but in the path behind, not
the hardship of new difficulties,
but the handicap of old weak
nesses. IS" We know now that
every man is perpetuation of
forces physical, mental and NOR
al. which have long existed and
which are persistent in him
You had four grandparents. eight
great grandparents, sixteen great
great grandparents, and sixty
four grandparents five times re-
moved. Calculating from the
American settlement at James
town up to you, over 1000 men
and women have lived on this
continent who have come to a
point in you. The healthiest
study a young man can engage in
is the study of himself to discover
his ancestors, and the study of
his ancestors to discover him
self"
DIR. White further advises If
there is some old grandparent,
who is struggling viciously to get
on top" IN our natures against
our virtuous ancestors, we are to
cut off the dead hands of those
who deserve only a pitying mem
Dry"
In Realm of Spirit.
I have never read anything
which puts the doctrine of hered-
ity so strongly and which ex-
aggerates it, as I believe, out of
all harmony with the facts of
human experience.
If DR.. White is right the con-
test going on daily within us is
a fierce struggle between ances-
trail forces. making for our veal
or our woe. He leaves out alto
gether our struggle except against
vicious grandparents, that is the
daily, personal combat against
present day influences which find
their way within US and prove
hurtful or helpful, according to
their nature. The doctrine of evo-
luton has small space in the ar
ticle under discussion, and the
doctrine of environment no place.

In the meantime, work will be be-

Installed between the old and the neW
intakes. This will be the first step to-
ward securing purer water for De.
troit.
The installation Of filtration
plant, according to Commissioner Gil
lespie, will mean that the meter sys-
tenn will be extended throughout De
troit. Filtered water will be more
costly than the present supply, and
Mr.. Gillespie says: We cant aftord
to give away pure water.
Mr.. Gillespie estimates that the to-
tai cost OF the plant, with all its ram
ifications, will be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. He says that IT
will cost $l,500.000 for meters alone,
but that this amount will soon be
saved because OF a smaller consump-
ton of water and more accurate ac-
count OF the water used.
The site OF the new plant has not
been chosen, but il will undoubtedly
be close to the present water works.
The plans and the work OF construc-
tion will take several years. BY that
time the board plans TO have enough
