FIVE MINUTES WITH
THE FUNNY FELLOWS

Maybe this story isn't precisely new.
But it's true story and completely
characteristic of Nat Goodwin.
A tobacco salesman, according tC
Frank Kelly, joined Goodwins table al
the Lambs club one night and insist.
ed upon handing round some of the
cigars he was selling. Goodwins bet
ter judgment was overruled, and he
lighted one of them.
They're good cigars" said the sales
man, and, anyway, we give premiums
with them. If you smoke $4,000, you
get grand piano"
Goodwin laid down his cigar with ar
air of distaste.
eff l smoked $4,000 of these" hi
said, I'D want a harp"
Everyone laughed-except an En-.
glishman. An hour afterward he ap
preached Goodwin.
81 didn't get the point of that jolly
spool of yours at first, old chap" saic
be. But after l puzzled over it bi
/ saw it, of course. Travelling as mucl
IS you do, it would be most incon
vanient to carry grand piano."

THE COLLEGE MANS PARTY IL
PUBLIC SERVICE

We have right to look to the col
leges to help in the work of trained
leadership in public affairs. This is not
because they possess monopoly Of
learning, but they are the GROWING
feature of our educational system and
have been organized to give training
of an especially high character to a
small proportion of population, quail
fed by natural endowments to profit by
such training. Too often the college
man of today considers that he per
forms his civic duty by complaining
about the existing situation. DR.. A. c.
Humphreys, of the Stevens institute,
referred to this condition in an ad'
dress in Philadelphia last week when
he criticised the teaching of civics Ill
modern educational institutions as
neglecting the practical . and placing
undue stress on the theoretical, and
added: THE so-called educated man
meaning the manof school, college
and books-is to blame far more than
the less favored man if his ill-consid-
cred wards lead others astray." The
fact that some college men are active
in attacks on capital is no reason why
the colleges cannot do an important
work in training the right kind of m 81
fer civic service. The exceptions really
prove the rule-Electrical Journal.

State School Superintendent NJ. L. Britain

The Times Recorder wishes to join
in the practically unanimous opinion
of the newspapers and educators OF
Georgia, that Hon. NJ. L. Britain is
the man to succeed himself.
The Atlanta Constitution editorially
commends Superintendent Britain and
reviews his record as follows:
State School Superintendent NJ. 7,
Britain is a candidate to succeed him
self. Opposition to him cannot be 9th
er than perfunctory, since it is incon-
ceivable that the people of Georgia
would entertain seriously a proposal
to displace the man who has shown
such marked aptitude in the vital field
OF education.
Superintendent Brittain's disting
uishing characteristics is his sanity
He. is never stampeded' into legislation
of a faddish or demagogic nature, at
tractive on its face, but impractical
and generally advanced by Missionaries
who would not have to bear the re-
sponsibility of failure. He is thor
oughly familiar with the conditions in
his field. having visited every county in
Georgia, a record probably unique
among statehouse officials.
Superintendent Brittain's equipment
is not confined merely to the educa
tional side. In the legal questions,
constantly arising in his department,
he has shown broad grasp and intu-
ition, and his rulings having always
been sustained by the board of educa-

An 'EggstraOrdinary: Ball Game.

ed A. Goewey, in Leslie's)
One of the most curious ball games
ever played was staged recently at
Portland, Ore, by teams representing
two mems church clubs. Each play ,r
was required to carry an egg in one
hand and play ball with the other.
Runs and hits were counted in thu
usual manner, but, in addition, any
player who broke his egg gave a run
to the opposing team. The actual final
score at the end of fve-innig game
was Az, but the total score when the
forfeits were counted up was 15-11
Each guardian of the initial sack brokl
three eggs, one catcher broke three
and the other one. The pitchers led
in the number of broken eggs. The
climax of the game when the short
stop, after making hard stop, threw
his egg toward first base instead o.
the ball with a disastrous result TO-
both his own team and the. bias sman.

A Fisherman,s Story.
(Maurice switzer, in Leslie's.l

N-NNAA 49, ~ 49, IL A>SoAAS ~
l once went on a fishing trip with 8
tenderfoot friend of mine who had
read lot about the joys of camp life
and thought he'd like to sample them
l don't know what he expected To
find, but from the first day out he
complained about everything from the
favor of the coffee to the croaking OF
the frogs. On the second day he was
ready to quit, and when he found that
he would have to stick it out to the
end of the week, he exhausted his
picturesque vocabulary in calling him
self all varieties of nut for ever
leaving the soft comforts of the city
for the discomforts CT the open; ana
for once everybody agreed with him.
The bunch wished him on me one
morning, so l took him fishing in a
rowboat at the bottom of which we
had stored our lunch, expecting to be
gone most of the day.
Just about noon a stiff wind sprang
up and blew so hard that it kicked up
a considerable sea against which l
couldn't make any Roadway. The
spray came over our low gunwales,
wetting us to the skin, the bottom Of
our boat was awash and our lunch
was ruined. There was nothing to do
but keep out of the trough of the sea
and try to make either shore of the
lake, which was about a mile wide.
After an hours killing work I succeed
ed in Bleaching the craft, which had
sprung leak, on rocky shore good
fifteen miles from camp. There we
stayed for five hours, while sthe gale
ragged. We were wet, miserable and
hungry, dusk was approaching and the
prospect for spending the night in the
high grass was the only safe bet in
sight
Ignatius sat on a rock and choked
with emotion. .....
I'D give hundred dollars" said he,
ito any fellow with gas boat to tow
me back to that rotten camp with
it's tough grub and concrete beds
We spent the night in the woods and
tried to keep warm by battling with
the mosquitoes. They sent launch for
us at daybreak and when Ignatius got
back to camp, theroway he absorbed
leather-bound biscuits, Tapped UP mud
dy coffee and slowed away bacon
would have reminded you of one OF
those show-Window demonstrations OF
a vacuum cleaner in full action.
He slept that night like babe in
its mothers arms-and several nights
thereafter-and he didn't go home a!
! the end of the week. He had his first
taste of adversely, came out alive, and
even the wilderness looked beautiful
! to him.

ton and the courts. Both the state ed
vocational associations have Endorsed
him personally and his professional
work. The esteem in which he is held
outside Georgia is shown in the fact
that he is a director in the National
Educational Association of America
and was last year unanimously elected
president of the Southern Educational
association Two hundred and ninety
of the city and county superintendent
of the state, out of 300, have placed
themselves on record as supporting
him, and when mans own colleagues
are practically a unit in his behalf the
inference is unmistakable.
There is no doubt that the voters
generally of Georgia will follow the
lead of Mr.. Brittain's colleagues. In
the previous election he carried all
but two counties. 1t will be surpris-
ing if the primary of this year does
not make the vote unanimous.
The Constitution is right in rrophe-
sying that Georgia will do herself the
honor of returning Superintendent
Britain with a unanimous vote.
In addition to being an energetic
and effective State Superintende Of
Education, Mr.. Britain poss asses Il
charming personality. In private lie
he is modest, gentle, and unassuming.
~ public affairs he nevr lacks for
courage AS was said of Horace Man,
the teacher, so may it be said of Su-
perintendent Britain: He les hand
of steel in velvet glove.

Last week, when midday tempera-

the farmers of Sumter, and surround
ing counties, ordered suspension OF
farm work from 10 a, m. to p, NJ.
This humane movement is specially
commendable because it was entirely
voluntary. No humane society re-

in the provision chamber COLD, DRY and PURE
and to accomplish this the walls should be proper
