Georgia with other States; also

cases must be decided within a

a case to be reached in its order.
Neither do our reviewing courts

little to complain about, and it is
far superior to others. It Is not
perfect, 1t can not be. AS point
ed out by Mr.. Atkinson, the law
jealousy guards the purity Of the
jury IN all its stages. and what
tmperfections exist are due moro
to the defects OF human nature

is doubtful whether any change

jury is selected in Georgia, com

tedious process of other States.

Editor The Georgian: Reply
ing to the suggestion contained in
your recent editorial, relative to
jury trials, inviting subscribers to
a discussion Of the subject, I de-
sire to make a few comments.
Mr.. Atkinson, in his very able
and timely article, called atten-
ton to the few searching ques-
lions which are put to Jurors in
felony cases. It would seem that
a juror who would qualify on the
voir dire Gas It is spoken of by
the profession) would be a At
person in every respect to act in
that high capacity Of deciding on
the liberty or life of his fellow
man, If he be an honest man, and
yet does 1t not happen that men
Of undisputed integrity do qualify
and whose impartially is often
questioned?
Referring to the Frank trial,
which provoked this discussion,
1t was freely predicted before the
trial that it would perhaps take
days to secure a jury, and doubt
was even expressed whether a
jury could be impaneled at all in
Fulton County to try the case.
But when 1t came to selecting
q jury only a few hours were
consumed. This may have occa-
stoned some surprise to the lay
man, but to the practitioner 1t is
only what might have been ex-
pected. Mr.. Atkinson in his ar
ticle published in full the ques-
tons put to the juror, except one
other, which is only asked in
capital cases and which is, Are
you conscientiously opposed to
capital punishment" These
questions are the only ones put
to the juror to test his fitness or
qualification.
How different from the rule in
other States, where the lmpanel-
ing Of a jury often takes as long
as the main trial! In the Thaw
case, the Mcnamara ccses and
other noted cases of recent mem
DRY it will be recalled that It took
weeks to select a jury. To us,
with our simple and easy method
of impaneling a Jury, 1t would
seem that a system which allows
the examination of Juror for
hours or days would serve no
good purpose, and incur an ex-
pense altogether unreasonable.
But this brings US to the query
whether or not in our practice
and laws we have not gone to the
other extreme
Would 1t not be wiser to allow
a more liberal examination of q
juror to test his impartiality? Ask
him whether he 1 read any ac-
count of the crime, and If from
that he had formed an opinion;
whether he had talked to anyone
concerning the case and to whom,
and whether he had expressed
any opinion-and other questions
which would readily suggest
themselves to the practitioner.
1t is hardly conceivable that
anyone who reads page after page
in the papers for days about a

What Should Be the Social
Afnusements of Our Children
From Ten to Sixteen Years Of
Age. and the Hours and Why?"
All kinds of outdoor games and

social amusements of children.
Parents and teachers will be
benefited personally II they ar
range their time In such a man
ner that they can study such
amusements and act as guides
and instructors for the children
intrusted to their care.
The tendency Of the time is
more and more toward outdoor
life; and this means increased vi
tallty and more power, mental
and physical, for the race.
Horseback riding, basket ball,
tennis, golf, croquet, water
sports running races skating
all of these amusements are en-
couraged and taught.
