There's No Reason Why a
Woman Should Give
Up a Good Job.

IT'S an antiquated idea that
doesn't fit into our scheme of
modern life, and the sooner we
realize it the better.
There's no reason why a wom-
an who has got a good Job should
give II up when she marries any
more than there is why man
should.
Nor IS there any sensible argu-
ment against a wife, who must
help her husband. helping him in
the way that is most agreeable to
her.
There's been a great falling off
in matrimony in this generation
because 50 many people still hold
to the idea that a wife should be
parasite and that a man should
not marry until he is able TO sun
port such an ornamental luxury.
But there win be plenty Of mar
rying in the next generation. be-
cause every girl viii be self-sup-
porting. and when a man mar
ries. instead of acquiring a burden
10 support he will get a busi-
ness partner who viii be real

BOUNDING HARRY THAW.

Editor The Georgian:
The attitude of your paper as
to the bounding of Harry X
Thaw is commendable, per Sc. 1t
is the attitude of every red blood
ed American.
Harry Thaw was a degenerate,
concededly. But when he married
a girl and tried to shield her
name, and Stanford White,
metropolitan genius, forgot his
high education, his high standing
as a cultured, professional man.
and assumed the role of banal
poltroon and publicly tried to
smirch the girl, Harry Thaw did
Just as any sound American would
do, and punished such a miserable
rag.
The high rating of Stanford
White only intensified his actions.
How can w. Travers Jerome look
upon his acts in hounding-the
word bounding" seems simple
text-Thaw for Furnishing such a
man, however exalted his talents?

The Father in This Case Is
Wrong; These Are Not
Tests of Love.

The obstacle in carrying out
this plan is the girls father, who
IS Mortified at the thought Of his
daughter following a gainful oc-
cupation after she is married, and
who says that a man should have
sufficient love for his Young Wife
and sufficient pride to keep her in
her own home,
So the little heart tragedy goes
on. The young people, who dear
~ love each other. can't get mar
ried because the young man can't
command big enough salary TO
feed and clotne two people.
The girl goes on working, but
she is not permitted to buy her
happiness with her money, and all
because of silly old convention
that binds Us and letters our free
dom, and from which we ought TO
have enough courage to break
away
The father, in this case, says
that the Young man should have
enough affection for his wife and
pride IN her to keep her in his
own little home, but what man
can do for his wife isn't always
matter OF affection and pride
Doubtless this young man. ana
every other man in love. would

SAVING A BOY WORTH WHILE.
Editor The Georgian

Editor The Georgian:
The writer knows a young man
who. in 1905, when only a child,
pleaded guilty to the theft of
small amount of jewelry from a
room in a hotel in which he was
employed. He was sent to the
Children's Village at Dobbs Fer
ry, Which is under the control of
the New York Juvenile Asylum.
In that institution he spent two
years, making a record never be-
fore or since equaled. He was
tested in every way, and was at
all times found to be honest. To
the superintendent, Mr.. Guy Nor
gan, he said that he was not
guilty of the crime charged
against him, but by a pettifogging
lawyer had been persuaded to
plead guilty
Leaving the institution, he lit
orally fought his way through the
necessary schooling and into the
profession of dentistry. He now
lives in Atlanta, Ga, and is rec
ognized as one of the rising young
citizens of that city. He recently
married the daughter Of a we'll
known Atlanta family. Last
Christmas he brought his bride
to New York, and at the Chill
dren's Village made an inspiring
talk to the boys now there. That
young man was worth big in
vestment.
