Let Wives Earn Money as Well as Husbands

4 NICE young man OF my ac-

SAVING A BOY WORTH WHILE

EDITOR The Georgian;
The writer knows a young man
who, in 1905. when only child,
pleaded guilty to the theft Of
small amount of jewelry from q
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 al
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 pettifogg1ns
lawyer had been persuaded to
plead guilty.
Leaving the institution, he ut
orally fought his way through the
necessary schooling and into the
profession of dentistry. He now
lives in Atlanta, Ca, 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'stvillage made an inspiring
talk to the boys now there. That
young man was worth a big in
vestment.

BOUNDING HARRY THAw.

ROUNDING 1RHHf iHAW.
Editor The Georgian:
The attitude OF your paper as
to the bounding of Harry K
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 a 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 "hounding' seems simple
text-Thaw for furnishing such a
man, however exalted his talents?
