LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

This college is very close to the
hearts Of many people in Forsyth,
and, regardless of it's future, they
will ever cling with tenacity to this
grand old institution.
The denomination hardly knows
what magnificent plant they have
here, or they would act differently.
If for uncomfortable reasons it
should fall into the hands of some
other denomination, then they would
begin to feel the sting Of remorse.

lets for inspection. Respectfully,

then we wondered how his subtle

and the speculator. The Hon. Mar

DID NO INJUSTICE TO w. ID.
MCNEIL.

Dear Sir: Yours received and
noted. l first introduced bill for
the State Board of Education to
have the text of all our common
school books prepared by experts
and published by competitive bids
and sold at cost. Owing to the make
up of the Committee of Education,
and the opposition Of Prof. Brittian
the committee reported the bill by
substitute of only three books. In
the meantime, Prof. Brittian receded
from his promise to help me with
these three, and only agreed to help
me with one, to-wit, a Civil Govern
trial of one other by buying the
plates, or leasing them.
In the House Gas I needed and was
compelled to have Brittian's support)
l offered a substitute for the whole,
as follows: That the State Board of
Education be allowed to have a suit
able text on Civil Government pre-
pared, and have the same published
by competitive bids and sold at cost
to our children. The State Board of
Education had condemned the Civil
Government then in use, towit,
Peterman's, and petitioned the Gov
ernor to recommend to the General
Assembly that they be allowed to
have a suitable text prepared and
published. Governor Slaton so
recommended in his message. 1t was
proven before the Investigating Com
mittee that the authors of all our
common school books, without ex-
ception, received per cent on the
sales Of the books, and that the
Southern School Book Depository
charged 20 per cent on all sales for
distribution This only left the
charge of publishing the books to be
determined.
Foote & Davies offerd to print and
bind as good book as Petermsn's
for IS IL cents. So this would
make the cost to our children Of a
suitable text on Civil Government "a
cents to take the place Of Peterman's s.,
which cost our children "a cents.
Tn bill passed the House by vote
of 152 to Z, and some of those who
voted against it were book agents.
When the bill reached the Senate, r.
win offered a substitute as fellows:
''To provide free school books to all
children up to the seventh grade by
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-04-22

an appropriation hereafter to be
made"
I do not see how any bill could be
passed appropriating one million dol
lars with which to purchase school
books the least amount possible, and
even if they had, my bill did not
conflict in the least with that propo-
sition, but only assisted in bringing
about such result because of the
reduced price, but it did hurt the
Book Trust in that it would have
demonstrated beyond cayil how our
children were being robbed by the
Trust.

WILL, GEORGIA BAPTISTS
PLEASE READ THIS?

Dear Mr.. Watson: / read with
much interest your editorial in this
weeks Jeffersonian on why Are the
Church People So Unwilling To
Learn the Facts About Foreign Mis-
sions?',
Admitting for the sake of argu-
ment that missions are right and all
should make contributions for that
purpose, nevertheless when we view
conditions from an unprecedented or
unbiased standpoint, common sense
would direct that we first examine
the needs of our local institutions I'M
der Baptist control and apply what
ever of our money that is necessary
to pay what we justly owe, before
venturing too far in foreign fields
at the expense of some honest cred
itors that have been patient in wait
ing for what belongs to them.
This is what l term common hon
esty.
AS Trustee of Bessie Tiff College,
knowing the character Of work done
there, I cannot refrain from saying
that this is the finest field for the in
vestment of missionary money that
/ know, as they are taught the tenets
of the denomination, and when they
go out from this school to take up
life's work they are thoroughly
trained and disciplined to combat
the forces of evil.
This college is giving more for the
money than any institution we have,
but unless the denomination comes
to it's rescue I am afraid to predict
the consequences.
Every Baptist Church of any prom
inence in Georgia threw their doors
wide open to collection of deficit in
missions recently, but my informa-
tion is that the committee of nine,
appointed by the last convention to
raise the amount necessary to pay off
the debt of the college are having a
difficult time in getting the consent
of pastors to let them be heard in
this matter.
Every agency of the last convention
was pledged by resolution to assist in
the Mission Board Judged on Bessie
Tiff and obtained right of way.
1t looks like poor business judg-
ment to me on the part of the de-
nomination to sacrifice $250,000
worth of property when it could be
saved to the denomination by paying
100000.
The Lord will never suffer the de-
nomination to progress as they
should until we pay our honest
debts.
This college has been almost con-
tinuously in operation for GO years.
1t was used as a hospital for wound
ed soldier during part of the last
war, and, after this it burned. It
was rebuilt by the people of Forsyth
and Monroe counties.
I am glad that you are appraised
of the interest manifested by the
people of Forsyth in maintaining the
institution, as you so feelingly re-
ferred to it in your editorial.
