GEORGIA PRODUCTS DAY."
ATLANTA Journal.)

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce
has hit upon a singularly happy plan
for launching its Statewide campaign
of education and development. 1t has
designated Tuesday, November the
Eighteenth, as Georgia Produces
Day" on which occasion the people
will be reminded as never before Of
the wonderful richness and Variety Of
their States farming and industrial
resources. The Governor VIII be ask
ed to issue proclamation taking cog
ni2ance OF the day and the mayor O.
each town and city will be requested
to do likewise. The distinctive featu c
of the program, will be the banquets
held at six in the evening throughout
the state and made up entirely Of
Georgia-raised or Georgia-made pro-
ducts
The State Chamber of Commerce has
offered in this connection three SUP
stantial prizes, one for the largest list
of Georgia products suitable for SER
vice at the banquets, another for the
best menu that could be used at any of
the banquets and a third for the best
menu that is actually served on this
occasion anywhere in the state This
offer should kindle rare interest IN
every home and among all the people
1t should prove within itself peculiarly
educational, for the briefest reflection
upon Georgia's food products to mind
a great store of good things that
would set the oldest epicurean dane
ing. 1t is to be hoped that school chill
dren as well as their elders will take
part in this interesting contest. All
such lists of products must be in the
hands of the Acting Secretary-Manage

We, of today, are just witnessing the
birth of an era of Science, the limit OF
which no one dares to prophesy. In
the past twenty-five years such startl-
ing discoveries and inventions have
come to light, that, when we stop 10
consider them, We gasp with aston
| ishment. The discovery of redium and
other rare elements in the field Cf
Chemistry; the invention of wireless
ltslegraphy and telephoney; the X-ray
and numerous other uses of that won
derful power, electricity; the produc-
ton of the automobile, the aeroplane
and thousand accomplishments Of
semi-perfection in the line of machin-
cry: the seemingly miraculous discos-
cries and operations CT physicians and
surgeons; all of these remind us most
forcibly that we are just beginning TO
find and use the many gifts of Nature
that have lain for millions of years
dormant, unknown and unappdeciated
We cannot deny the fact that the
lives Of the coming generation will
and must be surrounded by some, if
not many phases of Science. Thougl
some few conservatists may attempt
to dodge the fact, yet it is hurled at us
with an irresistible force that COM
pels recognition. The question that
confronts us now is this; shall we
educate the boys and girls of today so
they will understand and appreciate
and use these great forces If Nature,
OF shall we let them continue the pur-
suit of an old-fashioned education and
dWdho IOO ldie W lilu ludI illey are
unable to grasp and contend with the
great problems of Science that will
confront them in coming life, If we
pursue the former course we will turn
out men and women well trained and
capable of facing the world with the
knowledge and ability that demand
high and respected positions among
their fellow men and women. If We
follow the latter way the boys and
girls of today will find themselves I'M
trained. unable and unfit to meet, I'M
derstand or to benefit by tue great
problems and opportunities that will
confront them in the future.
Few parents and school authorities
realize this because, in the days of
their education. Science did not play
the important role in life that it does
now and consequently they spent lit
tie or no time in studying it. But
should we be so narrow minded and
conservative that we are satisfied for
our children to learn just what we
did and no more? If so, we do the
child gross injustice and unpardona-
BILE wrong. If our ancestors had held

SCIENCE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL
By Jas H. Reeves Inst Science Americas High SCHOOL,

to and practiced this doctrine we
would not be the cultivated people
that we are today but would be ignor-
ant rowing bands of sayages, separated
from the beast only by our power OF
speech.
Naturally, the question arises; how
are we going to educate our children
in this manner. The answer is simple
enough Equip our high schools with
the latest scientific laboratories and
apparatus, employ capable instructor s
and adopt the most modern text books
available. From some pepole comes
the objection of the cost. The amour;
required for this purpose is very
reasonable and the enormous results
obtained from such an investment
would so totally eclipse the cost thai
it would appear as nothing.
1t is not, for one moment, the writ
er's object to belittle or in any way
undervalue the other branches of ed
ucation. No one would be GO foolish.
The purpose OF this article is an at
tempt to get the parents and school
authorities interested in a branch Of
education that will be absolutely es-
sential to the coming generation. 1t is
true that this important subject is
offered in it's many branches at our
colleges and universities. But what
are we going to do with the great ma
jority of high school students who
never go to college? Is it fair to them
to let them go without any knowledge
of the problems that will surround
them? Shall we let few enjoy and
use successfully the blessings which
Nature has given to all alike? or shall
we give each child a chance to study
Science thoroughly and thus make the
child a capable and important factor
in the uplifting and better;nent CT
History in the past cannot be chang
ed; Latin and Greek are the same to-
day that they were hundreds of years
ago; modern languages and mathn-
mates are firm and controlled by
rules that are seldom changed; but
Science is progressing in leaps and
bounds. New inventions and startling
discoveries are being brought to our
notice in rapid succession. Discover
les, such as affect our daily life Eacn
year witnesses a wonderful advance
ment Then to give our boys and girls
the proper education and to fit them
for the life that they must meet it is
absolutely necessary that we give
them chance to study and expert
ment today in the many and interest
ing phases of Science that will con-
front them on tomorrow.

TORMEY SHOWS WELL.
PLAYS First Base for Georgetown in
Fine Style.

Jim Tormey. who played first base for
the Georgetown team Yesterday. looked
very good. He is big man and while
he had never p.ayed this position. he
made a fine showing. His running
catch of a fly ball in the fifth inning of
Yesterdays game was the fielding fea-
ture of the day. At the bat Tormey
connected for safe hit in three times
I'D. Considering the fact that this was
his first appearance in a game his show
ing was exceptionally good.
Two other shifts were made by Coach
Harley in the game yesterday. Johnson
Shugrue, who has been playing with
the freshman team. was tried out in
left field in place of Barron. ShugTue
made one c.ean hit, and fielded his posi-
ton creditably. Campazzi, who re-
placed Connolly in the fifth. showed up
remarkably well and was in a great
measure responsible for Georgetown
winning the game. Campazzi looks like
fixture at second. as the coach was
very much pleased with his showing in
the game yesterday.
