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 is in a plot of
ground covering 70 acres. 1t be-
gan on an investment of $4,000,
and has grown until it has a fine
equipment and is decided sue
cess.
Similar schools have been start
ed in a 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 a change of environment.
Transplanted people rule the
world.
For boy or girl to remain
right in the district Of his home
and be educated there is to pos
sess a 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,
away from the sidewalk, out into

DEMOCRATIC DIVISION EN-
couRAGEs ROOSEVELT
pARTN

Editor The Georgian:
l 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, /
can't see that 1t 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
TO us in regard to our home or
inland commerce after we have
spent millions in money and ten
wears OF hard work in digging
our own canal Also, England
seems 10 have troubles enough at
home without attempting to die
tate or interfere with our domes-
tic affairs. c. W. MCCLURE.

The Georgian has had much to sayand has said it fer

The Georgian would glad commit itself with equal
fevor to another university under the auspices of

almost in the suburbs of Atlanta.
The time is auspcous and full Of
promise and opportunity.

suffered serious division the decision of the courts

Out Of the dsappoinments and divisions following that decision

THE "TIGER" HUNT
GROWS WARM
Four Of the Beasts Captured up to
Thursday Noon --- Warrants
for Others Now Pending


The tiger hunt" in Roanoke
Rapids, conducted under the
auspices of Chief Baird, grows
more and more productive of re-
suits. That the Chief is a good
hunter and knows where TO
look for his game is shown by
the fact that warrants up to
Thursday noon hadbeen sworn out
and served against four replucd
tigers" with sufficient evidence
on the side to justify Magistrate
W. C. Allsbrook in binding them
all over to Halifax.
The first man falling in the
clutches of the law was NJ. X.
Jacob, against whom We're mar
shalled an all too strong array Of
witnesses. Gussie Rook, shief
witness, testified to having pur-
chased flicker" from the de
fendant and his testimony was
corroberated by eyewitncsses;
Charlie Cook, &. w, SnotherIy
and B. D. Gray. judgement Of
the court placed the defendant
under bond Of 10000 for his
appearance at the Superior Court
of Halifax County and the wit
nesses were recognized under a
bond Of $4,000 for their appear
ance.
Charlie Moody, victim No. 2,
witnesses Gussie Rock, M, X.
Jacob, Charlie Cook, B. ID. Gray.
Bound over to Halifax Superior
Court under bond of SIS. 60, wit
nesses recognized under a bond
of $1,000 for their appearance.
Jesse Merritt likewise impIi-
Gated in the illegal selling of
spirituous liquors, as testified by
Charlie Moore, Pat Floyd and B.
D. Gray, was bound over for
a hundred dollars to explain it to
the Judge in Halifax. Witnesses
all recognized under $1,000 bond
for their appearance.
B. j. Twisdale, indicted for
selling pint, had only one wit
ness and very reluctant one at
that to testify against him.
Percy Edmondson couldn't
swear he bought the pint from
Twisdale. He picked the pint
off the ground beside pine stump
and paid a party he thought was
TWisdale, but couldn't be sure.
A. L. Clark testified that Percy
Edmondson had stated to him
that he did buy the whiskey from
TWisdale. Defendant bound
over under $4,000 bond and the
witnesses all recognized under
bond of $4,000.
Warrents for six or eight other
tigers" are pending. Tie ille-
gal sale of whiskey in this com
munity has attained a magnitude
not realized by the majority of
the people. The officers are de-
termind to stamp out this law
. lessness and will spare no pains
to secure evidence leading to the
arrest and conviction Of that
most repulsive Of law breakers
= the blind tiger
If the authorities will continue
the work at the present gait it
will be only a question of a short
time when the majority of the
blind tigers now doing business
in this community are apprehend-
ed and convicted.
