That is the law of the land to-day
Any woman married individual not citizen of the

What particular form of deep asnin wisdom prompted the

Editor The Georgian:
Never a day do l pass up and
down the streets of Atlanta but
what l am accosted by some beg
gar. and in the last few days l
have given it some thought, talked
to them, especially to the one
legged beggars, and from most of
them find that they have no 9TH
err ailments but the loss of that
one leg.
Why not have Chief Beavers cut
out his lecturing for few days
and visit shoemakers of the CITY
and see if they can not take in
some of this class and teach them
the shoe trade? Visit the office
buildings and see if he can not
find a job for them running ele-
vators. Some of them perhaps
have good educations and could
keep books or do many other
things that | could mention.

Social hygiene will have to be
taught in the schools. 1t may be
admitted that the teachers of the
present day are not competent to
teach. They have not been train
ed for it. Another course is onen.
Medical men and women should
be appointed to deliver addresses
in the schools, medical men
speaking to the boys. medical
women to the girls. And these spe-
cial instructors should be chosen
with a view to their fitness for
the task. They should be APP
pointed and controlled by the
Board of Education. Their work
should be properly paid for, Not
very much will be accomplished
until something of this kind is
done.
Before it can be done body nj
opinion favoring it will have TO
be created. Men and women who
are properly instructed will one
day demand that city and State
broaden the pathway of light.

wy L are agreed nowadays that
norance and darkness.
We are agreed that it may be
blessed by knowledge and light.
Most of us who are of any use
whatever in the world are trying
to reduce the sum total of hui
man ignorance and find the path
way of light.
Notable among the banner
bearers of an all-conquering
knowledge must be reckoned the
little group of men and women
who have named themselves THE
Social Hygiene Society" They
might have found better name.
They could hardly be engaged in
a better work.
The membership of this society
includes merchants, lawyers,
workingman, physicians, business
men and women, preachers,
teachers. One looks in vain for
fanatics, freaks or faddists, for
cranlls and cantankerous per
sons who are anti-everything.
Now, this society has been or
ganized for the purpose of broad
ening the pathway of light, and
for the purpose Of inducing youths
and girls to walk in it. In mat
tiers the most vital, most vital to
the individual and to the State,
ignorance is most dense.
Boys and girls ought to know.
No good comes from forbidding
knowledge to them. AS mat
ter of fact, they will know, soon
er or later. The trouble is that
they may know too late They
will learn the facts of life. Moth
ing but imbecility or death can
prevent them learning. 1t is a
question solely as to whether
they shall learn in a sweet and
gracious way from good and wise
teachers or in a prurient, disgust
ing way from evil companions,
charlatans and quacks, the ghouls
Of our cities, the vilest of the vile.
1t is the view of these earnest
men and women that parents
ought to teach their boys and
girls the things they need to
know. They believe that the best
teaching can be done in the home
They are not anxious that the
schools should be used for this
purpose. They are not asking
that teachers should be compelled
to qualify and that social hygiene
should form part Of the curricu-
lum of the public schools. F'a-
theirs and mothers, they think,
ought to be anxious, lovingly
anxious, to teach their children
as much of the meaning of life
as is necessary to defend them

Editor The Georgian;
l read with interest your edi-
torial of Friday evening COM
menting upon the subject of Dor
rowing money on life insurance
policies. As the public can not
know too much about the con-
tracts now being written by "old
line" companies, l beg that you
will accord me the privilege Of
some additional comments, or
explanations.
All up-to- date policies now
being written are dual in nature,
embracing the two features Of
protection" and investment" or
rather savings" and the passage
of such laws as your comments
seem to advocate would eliminate
the latter feature. which is the
all-important consideration which
prompts the purchase of life in
surance by our young men and
women.
The proposition which we put
ND to an applicant for insurance
is a plain business one like this:
The company says to the APP
plicant: "You deposit with us
$50 and we will place to the credit
of your estate Immediately. $1,000
TO be paid in case of your untime-
~ death" At the end of the
first wear we say: "On account

policy i'm force, such as exam
iners' fees, agents commissions,
licenses. taxes, etc, we are unable
to return to you any part of your
first years deposit (so-called div

Mr.. Robbins said if an investigation

the Chicago board favored sweeping

form pledges of the democratic party.
Whether legislation to regulate cotton
future trading will be coupled with
laws for grain dealings has not been
decided.

respectful admiration of the courage

Wilson handles the Panama tolls ques-

dealing which may be recommended
to diplomats Of the old world. Other
statesmen in other countries are cap
able Of doing the thing he has done,
but most of them would fetch about
for diplomatic phrases or make believe
arguments to save the faces of their
