a S you ride on railroad trains
~ in America you will find
young people going to the
city to attend schools, colleges,
academies. universities.
The idea seems to be that in
order to get an education you
have to go to the city.
Now, behold a reversal of the
proposition. We find schools be-
ing established in the country,
and children leaving their homes
every day early in the morning
and going out to the country and
spending the day, The first school
of this kind to be established was
the Gilman Country School for
Boys, near Baltimore.
This school was started fifteen
years ago. 1t IL in plot Of
ground covering 10 acres. 1t be-
gan on an investment OF $4,000,
and has grown until it has fine
equipment and is decided sue
cess.
Similar schools have been start
ed in dozen cities in America,
and the idea is fast spreading.
1t is a great JOY and satisfac-
ton for child to leave the city
and go into the country. Then he
comes back home at night and
tells Of what he has seen and
done. He lives in two separate
environments, and it is conceded
by everyone that we are changed
through change of environment.
Transplanted people rule the
world.
For a boy or girl to remain
right in the district Of his home
and be educated there is to pos
sess very faulty form Of educa-
ton.
This city child goes out to the
country and is secure against the
allurements and diversions that
are bound to distract him from
his books and studies.
He is away from that cheap lit
tie form of dissipation, the ada
cent candy shop, where he goes
at recess time, If he is in the
city. to spend his spare pennies
and invite dyspepsia and indiges-
ton.
He is taken off the pavement,

should be done, with enough play

Children who attend these
country schools will surpass far
in physique and mentality and

days and nights are spent in the
city. He gets a change. he gets
away from his parents and the
home atmosphere, which, however
beautiful and excellent, can not
be appreciated when he is there

there are a dozen, twenty fifty
or hundred pupils, the expense
of this supervision is very slight.
Country schools for city children
are so in the line of common
sense that the idea is bound to
grow and spread.
AS yet most of these country
schools for city children are
owned by individuals or corpo-
rations. But it is the belief that
the public school system will
take on this betterment soon.
AS it is now most women take
up school teaching until they get
married. And the men who are
school-teachers are taking a
course in law. medicine or the
ology, with intent to quit the
school teaching as soon as the
profession is within seizing reach.
We must make school teaching
eminently honorable. And the
salaries, all the way from $3.50
to $500 a month, that are being
paid to competent men and wom-
en- who can teach both academic
studies and agriculture, show that
we are moving inNhe right direc

DEMOCRATIC DIVISION EN-
couRAGEs ROOSEVELT
PARTY.

Editor The Georgian:
1 note with interest Mr.. Benja-
min Blackburn's letter In regard
to the Senatorship, and your edi-
torial in reply in regard to the
two factions in Georgia and the
Canal tolls
There is no doubt but that It Is
unfortunate that there are two
bitter factions In the Democratic
party in Georgia, and no matter
how hard a few leaders try to
keep this down at times It is go
ing to crop out when the heat OF
battle comes, and perhaps get
more bitter each time.
The only way this can be
avoided is to build up the Pro-
gessive party in Georgia as an
opposition party. which would be
a god-send to the State, both
from a broad political point Of
view and also in a business sense,
and in that case the two factions
would unite against the opposing,
or Progressive party.
In regard to the Canal tolls, I
can't see that It is a violation Of
any treaty to allow our own ships
to pass from one part Of our own
country to the other without pay
ing tolls. 1t is simply an easy
way to encourage our coastwise
shipping, and will not compete at
all with the ships of any foreign
nation, and I do not think that
John Bull should try TO dictate
10 US In regard to our home or
inland commerce after we have
spent millions in money and ten
years OF hard work in digging
our own canal. Also, England
seems to have troubles enough at
home without attempting TO die
tate or interfere with our domes-
tic affairs. C. w. MCCLURE.

and walked into town in good old
fashioned style-"walking along
with the rest Of u.s."
Hon w. T. Peterman was hap.
py and clever in his presentation
of the speaker; in fact, "Tom"
was fine; his declaration made to
Judge Martin was game, genuine,
and showed pretty conclusively
where St. Mary will be on election
day.
Mr.. Roosevelt delivered a mas
terly political speech. The mans
great personality, of course,
would make him a star at any
meeting. and on any occasion,
but, to use the common vernacu-
lar of the street, his powerful
speech "cinched it," "Vote as
you think" is an expression
which encompasses the whole
situation in Louisiana politics,
and Mr.. Roosevelt knew it just as
well as the people right here at
home.
To make long story short, Mr..
Roosevelt sized up the situation
at a glance, drove the truth home,
and started for New Iberia at s 80.
In less than ten minutes after
the speaking. Mr.. Roosevelt had
left for New Iberia. escorted by IS
automobiles with a delegation Of
300 people. With clock.like pre-
cision, three thousand people of
st. Mary and Franklin greeted
the greatest private citizen of
America, and listened to the
greatest political speech ever
delivered in franklin, within As
minutes time.

tors were Judge w. P. Martin,
