The state board of pardons Of
Georgia on Monday and Tuesday
heard the petitions in behalf of
Leo M. Frank, the young Jew
convicted of the murder of Mary
Phagan in 1918. The states at
torney who prosecuted Frank did
not appear in opposition to the
petition. while requests from all
sections of the country for exec
utive clemency were before the
board. A letter from Judge
Roane, deceased, the trial judge,
stating that he might have made
a mistake in rot granting a new
trial, was read by the board. 1t
was evident that the mob spirit
of the crowd intimidated the trial
Judge and court officials and the
verdict no doubt was rendered to
meet the clamorous demands of
the public forconviction. Franks
petition asks for a Communication
to life imprisonment.

The first estimate on the cotton
crop issued was that of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, which
on Monday issued its estimate on
the crop, which, as compared to
that of 1914, is 15.4 per cent. less
in acreage.
Oklahoma shows the greatest
decrease. 1871 per cent, while
Mississippi shows less decrease
than any of the states, the de-
crease being only 10 per cent.
The condition of the crop, COM
pared to normal, is estimated at
80.2 per cent. This compared
with 74.3 per cent. on May rs,
1914.
The stands are reported fairly
good throughout the belt. The
preparation of the soil was as
good as an average and the cul-
tivation has progressed satisfac-
torily in all sections.

Broader Field for our Public
Schools

The public schools of every
community should be closely al
lied with the activities of that
community. A closer corrella-
ton of the school and the home
must come. The school should
be connected with the business
interests of the community in
that it should help the boys
and girls to become more efficient
citizens, more intelligent home
makers, and better equipped for
their special sphere of work.
The activities Of our citizenship
have so broadened in scope in
the last quarter of a century
that the three RS are no longer
adequate: the use use-to-be arith-
metic, geography, history, ETC.,
are not sufficient to enable a boy
to be a successful merchant, a
scientific farmer, a skilled me-
chanic, a successful manufacture
err, and above all, are not suffi-
cient to help our girls to be bet
ter home makers and keepers.
The function of the public school
system is much broader than it
used to be. Every well regu-
lated public school should have
it's classical course, its home
economics, its manual training
and its commercial course. The
public schools Of TupeIo should

GERMANY.S Reply

The German reply to Presi-
dent Wilson's note to that coun-
try. protesting against numbering
innocent men, women and child
rem on the high seas, as was
done in the case of the sinking
of the Lusitania by a German
submarine, was nothing more
than could be forecasted by one
who has followed the German
policy throughout the war. They
have shown another disregard
for the rights of neutrals, re-
nounced all principles of inter-
national law where it served
their purpose to do so, and have
shown an insolence toward the
United States that has been al
most intolerable.
The conduct of the Kaiser's
personal representative, DR..
Dernberg, and the diplomatic
representative. Won Bernstorff,
has been such that this country
was given to understand that
Germany did not and would not
respect our wishes. The German
answer but follows up the policy
which has prevailed in the treat
ment of this country since Ger
many began to feel the pinch of
the war. Her case is desperate;
the Kaiser sees in defeat his en-
pire dismembered and the cries
of humanity are lost on deaf ears
when made to him. His love of
power has destroyed, if his soul
ever possessed such, all sympa-
thy. and victory at any sacrifice
on the part of others is his aim.
President Wilson and his cabi-
net are agreed that the people of
this country should state clearly
their rights and demand them.
That Germany will recede in the
least, we do not believe. Only a
backdown by this country or a
severance of diplomatic relations
will be the result of the contro-
versy. The German is hard
headed and obstinate, and he
must be shown before he yields
to an adversary.

broaden its scope and enrich its
curriculum by adding, first,
home science. second. a CONNER
cial course. and third, manual
training to its curriculum for
next session.
The introduction of domestic
science into the public school cur
riculum, the scientific study of
food values and sanitary science,
the wider outlook and the broad
err training of women are very
hopeful signs which are well de-
fined upon the horizon of the
American educational world.
Undoubtedly, the first thing to
be taught in any school is the
science of health, the value of
healthy homes, pure air and
water, proper clothing, physical
exercise, and, above all, what
foods are necessary for a healthy
existence, and a proper method
of cooking these foods" Food
is the point on which turns the
whole problem of democracy
Ignorance of the elemental re-
quirements for good health is
the root of many evils. The sa-
loon, patent medicines and the
high rate of infant mortality
may all be laid primarily to ig-
norance and blind adherence to
tradition. Education may best
combat these evils through in
struction of our girls in domestic
science. Domestic science is
by far the most important of all
sciences. 1t is the oldest of them
all. 1t means the science of
cooking, of eating, of cleansing,
of sleeping. of living"
Manual training teaches the
boy to use his hand as well as
brain. 1t gives expression to
his ideas in the form of some
finished product. 1t teaches
accuracy and regularity. culture,
good habits, accurate and sound
and ability to do things
not solely without but from with
in the child. Psychological and
physiological consideration midi
cate that this work should be
given in some form to every
child in the elementary school.
Many children fail to become in
terested in school work because
of the lack of something to give
definite expression to their &C
Invites.
A commercial course should
consist of the elementary Drin
ciples of bookkeeping, typewrit-
ing and stenography. This en-
tire course is very practical.
Every boy and girl should be
taught the elementary principles
of bookkeeping as this is a part
of all business activities. Many
people, both men and. women,
are now earning a livelihood by
means of t%ypewriting and stem
ography. The public school
could teach nothing more prac-
tical. Many pupils could begin
at once to earn a living.

aNT,-ERAT ACT UPHELD


By unanimous decision the Su-
creme Court of the United States
has upheld the constitutionality
of the Mississippi anti-fraternity
law which was passed by the
legislature to put the Greek fra
ternities out of the state institu-
tions.
The statute forbids the organ
ization or perpetuation of secret
Greek letter fraternities in edu.
cational institutions under state
control. The sentiment through
out the state against the frater-
mites that resulted in the statute
was due to the charge frequently
made that the poorer classes at
the University of Mississippi and
other state schools were discrim-
mated against by the members
of these Greek letter secret or
CARNATIONS. Conditions became
such that some step was neces-
sary to make the university more
democratic and the statute was
framed and passed with this end
in view.
The fraternities were as old as
the institution. Many of our
most distinguished citizens were
members of some of these Greek
letter societies. There was a RI
valry among the various societies
that was in a way beneficial, but
this was offset by the injustice
done to poorer students who were
made to feel keenly their station
in life by the more favored stu
dents who used the societies as a
means of ostracizipg certain
classes.
The case was brought before
the state courts by a mandamus
proceeding instituted by an ap-
plicant for matriculation at the
University by the name of
Waugh. He was denied admit
lance to the University because
he refused to sign a pledge to
renounce his allegiance to his
order. The statute was upheld
in the Circuit Court and by the
Supreme Court of Mississippi.
The appeal was prosecuted
through the Supreme Court of
the United States with the law
being upheld by a unanimous de-
cision. Fraternity men all over
the country joined in the move
ment to test the Mississippi
statute.
Now that the law has been
upheld, other states may find a
way of handling the societies in
their educational institutions by
adopting the Mississippi plan.
The people of the state, regard
less of former affiliations, should
accept the courts decision and
join hands in making their state
institutions democratic in every
sense of the word.

The Wildwood Eagles in q close and
exciting game of basket ball nosed out
the Cape May team for the champion
ship OF Cape May County at the Ocean
Pier on Tuesday evening by the score
of 1924. A crowd of about fifteen
hundred witnessed the game, which
was refereed under the rules of the
Eastern Basket Ball League, by VIM.
]. Scheffer, of which league he Is presi-
dent. The game vas called at 9.45
o'clock and Cape May were the first to
appear In the cage, but were quickly
followed by the Eagles, upon whose
arrival, the Ocean Pier rocked and
swayed with the volume OF applause
aud cheering. Cape May won the toss
and chose the basket at the ocean end
of the cage and the teams started on
the home stretch to grab the highest
honors la basket ball. During the
course of the first half, at times it look
ed gloomy for the Eagles, until Keat-
Ing, with one hand, scored a brilliant
field goal from the centre OF the floor.
Encouraged and braeed with this sensa-
lional work, the team o o had the
score tied at ten to ten and a minute
later forged ahead one point. Sheehan
then fouled and Kirk tied the figures
again at eleven. Good floor work and
excellent shooting prevailed and the
figures soon read twelve to twelve and
after q few minutes of fiual play the
first half ended IA to ID in favor of the
Cape May five. The Cape May follow
ers taking advantage Of the ten minutes
intermisslon cheered aud cheered, but
were drowned in the volume of cheers
coming from the loyal supporters of
the screaming emolem of supremacy,
the p Eagle.n The second half opened
very slowly both teams beginning to
show the effects of the fast playing Of
the previous half. and clouds of gloom
settled over the Wild wood sections as
Cape Mays score advanced to Eve
points in the lead. Delaney, the star
from the old Sea Isle City team, re-
ceived the ball from the far end Of
the hall and advancing with light
nIng like speed and unassisted scored a
field goal, which was followed by one
by Lehr the sixteen year old player,
who with greyhound-lik movements
swept past the bewildered players and
dropped the ~cleanest goal OF the season
which brought the score to 20 to 20.
With five minutes to play the score
was again tie at PAPA and then Heating
again broke loose as did Delaney and
the game was won by a field goal loss
ed by Heating. Then the crowd let
loose, pandemonium reigned and the
Eagles players were rushed of the
floor, some being carried by crazy fans
who knew no other way of giving vent
to their feelings. The Eagles scored
five field goals and Delaney threw six
teen foul goals put of thirty while Cape
May scored six field goals and Kirk
threw twelve out Of twenty.seven fouls.
