Passed Away at his Residence
No.523 North Seventh street.
Tuesday Afternoon.
WAS CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Had Been a Member Of Police
Force Twenty-three Years, and
was Highly Esteemed.

After a long and useful life,
Capt. G. N. Smith. a civil war
veteran and for twenty-three
years a member of the local po-
lice force, is dead, having passed
away at his residence, No. 523
North Seventh street, about four
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.
Capt. Smith had been sick but
a short time, having been seized
with an attack of uremic poison
ing only ten days prior to his
death. He was a man possessed
of wonderful will power, and dur
ing the early period of his illness
refused to give up. having re.
ported for duty one morning with
his temperature at fever heat.
He was soon forced to seek his
bed, however, and although every
thing possible was done for him
the maladv refused to yield eth
er to. skilled medical treatment
and the most careful nursing,
and he grew gradually worse un-
til the end came.
The innate hras cry Of the true
southern gentleman was a prom
inent feature of Capt. Smiths
character. and the greater por-
ton of his life was spent in de-
Tending the Southland and pro-
tecting the rights of his fellow
citizens. AT the outbreak of the
civil war he was among the first
to respond to the call for volun-
teers. and fought gallantly until
peace was declared, having par
ticipated in the battle of Gettys-
burg and other great conflicts
that marked to sanguinary peri
cd. He moved to Columbus from
Macon in the early nineties. and
soon after coming here was
elected a member of the local po-
lice force. He was ever coura-
geous and conscientious in the
discharge Of his duty, and en-
joyed the confidence and esteem
not only Of municipal officials but
of the citizens generally.
Deceased, who was seventy
four years Of age, is survived by
his widow, two sons, Messrs. w.
R. and C. B. Smith, and a daugh-
ter, Miss Mariah Smith. all of
whom have the sympathy of nu-
merous friends in the profound
sorrow which his death entails.
Capt. Smith was a member of
Isham Harrison Camp No. n,
United Confederate Veterans,
and his fellow veterans attended
lin a body the funeral, which oc-
Cured at tie family residence al
three o'clock yesterday after
noon, the full membership Of the
police force having also beer
present to pay a last tribute tt
) their dead comrade. Rev. W. w
Woodland, pastor of the Firs'
Methodist church, conducted thu
obsequies. and interment was a

BOARDING SCHOOL, IN

yields too much TO the demands Of mill
tary activities. to athletics or to the dozen
and more things that crowd in upon the
curriculum is not likely to accomplish
what ought to be expected in scholastic
results.
Reason for Different Rating.
1t may be said that in college the
graduates Of the boarding schools do not
always make better or even as good a
showing as the graduates Of the public
schools. In reply TO this 1t should be
stated that the boys who go to college
from public high schools are usually
picked boys who have shown their abil-
ity to resist the temptation to allow
themselves TO be diverted, and with whom
college education is serious business.
The graduates Of boarding schools. how
ever thorough and complete their prepara-
ton may be, do not always feel when
they enter college the compelling necessity
o. hard work. Some of them, so to speak,
rest on their oars" after they have
passed through the strenuous course of
the boarding school

Is the headmaster of a boarding school.
and therefore, prejudiced in favor Of the
kind Of school that he is engaged 10 con-
duct. In considering this question, how
ever, the writer is endeavorng TO put
aside his own prejudices and his own in
terests. The question of a boarding school
versus day school. it would seem, could
be decided very quickly II II were merely
a question Of theory. The advantage is
certainly in favor of the boarding school
with this very important reservation.
namely. II the boarding school is a good
one. There can he no question that d
poor, inefficient, badly conducted boarding
school is very much more pernicious and
very much more dangerous in its effects
than poorly conducted day school The
parent, when confronted with the question
OF keeping his boy at home or sending
him TO boarding school. would decide
more frequently than he does in favor Of
the boarding school If he could assure
himself that its obvious superficial adj
vattages were not counterbalanced by its
possible Weaknesses
