NO PROVISION FOR
CRIMINAL INSANE

ATLANTA, Ca, July 24-Georgia is
one of the comparatively few states of
the union which makes no provision
whatever for insane criminals, and,
therefore, necessitates the commit
ment of such offenders to the state
sanitarium, where they are closely as
sociated with innocent sufferers from
mental disorders, and even with little
children, who are detained there be-
cause of their mentally dependent
condition.
The sanitarium was intended as a
hospital for those who suffer from the
many diseases included under the pop
ular term insanity, and was never de-
signed by its founders to be a peni-
tertiary for the confinement of Grim.
mails. There is no one of its builG-
ings equipped with steel bars and cells
to withstand the ingenuity and deternl-
ination of those who make up their
minds to escape.
The legislature sought in 1904 tc
this situation as to insane con-
victs by passing an act requiring that
they should BE- cared for at the state
farm; but it failed to provide funds
for taking care of them there. Conse-
qrently, not only insane convicts, but

the criminally insane sent direct from
the courts, must still be committed to
the state sanitarium
During the six years, from 1910 to
1915 inclusive. 101 criminals have been
admitted to that institution, of whom
u gave no evidence of mental disor-
der. To those who have a personal in
terest in the inmates of the sanitariuIn
by reason of the ties of kinship CT
friendship the situation is distress
ing.
The association of criminals and in
nocent insane is declared by the trus-
tees unjust to both alike, and both
suffer by it. The legislature has been
repeatedly asked tor emedy this sit
uation. but so far has not done so.

Chatham county, who led the filibuster
against the prohibition bills during
the famous extra session of the legis-
lature last fall, and the senator from
the Savannah senatorial district, wh0
conducted practically lone fight in
the senate against the prohibition bills,
have introduced a bill in the house
ard senate to place in the city charter
of savannah a recall applying to the
mayor and certain other officials.
Savannah's law enforcement league,
composed of prominent citizens who
are backing Mayor Pierpont in his en-
fcrcement of the prohibition laws,
have come before the legislature and
shown that the proposed recall is a
scheme to GUST the mayor from office.

Of business in Savannah. They have
called upon the prohibitionists in the
house and senate to stand by the laws
they passed in 1915, to vote down the
Savannah recall bill, to give the forces
of law and order in Savannah a chance
to build sentiment.
On the other hand, the Chatham rep
resentatives and the senator from the
First district have undertaken to COM
bat this issue with the statement that
local delegations are entitled by legis-
lative custom to dictate local legisla
ton, free from interference.
Hence the fight, by reason of the
peculiar conditions which have pre-
vailed, and which now prevail in the
city of Savannah, is really legisla-
tive prohibition fight all over again,
and therefore the legislature, which is
Overwhelmingly prohibition, is stirred

Nation Touring
Week Sings New
Vacation Song

National Touring Week has sounded
a new note for vacation 1t sings a

is racking his brain to determine what
he is going to do with his vacation, for
il answers, speaking right up: "Speef

ulates the man who has owned dozen
automobiles in as many years.
His is nationwide state of mind, or
rather was, because the National Tour
ms Week movement has already done
much toward wiping out this neglect
Of the greatest gift vacation time Of
fers. Motorists for years have been
locking their automobiles in their gar
ages, and going off on their vacations
without realization that there was
about as much sense in it as leaving
their feet at home
National Touring Week is bent on
getting the motorist out of the groove
in which he has been running his auto
mobile around his home town. 1t is
arousing the motorist to take to the
oren and enjoy the scenic beauty and
wonder that Nature has staged for him.
| AS matter of results, the motorist is
well aroused. When August dawns,
more Automobiles will be on the road
begging for the open, than this nation
has ever seen at one time on the high
ways of this country.
The National Touring Week impulse
has swept the land. More than a thou
sand newspapers are actively enlisted
in the cause. Added to their force are
the selling organizations of a half hun
dred motor car makers and manufac-
turers of automobile accessories. Ev-
cry day sees new enlistments. Letters
from editors and publishers declare
National Touring Week is the finest or
ganized effort in the interest of vaca-
ton and motoring they have known.

ton. After National Touring Weel-,

SAVANNAH FIGHT IS
BIC MEASURE Up
WITH LEGISLATURE

ATLANTA, Ca, July 24-With half
the annual 5O-day session of the
Georgia legislature gone and practic-
ally no legislation passed, the second
lalf bids fair to be taken up with two
main fights that overshadow all others
in Importance as far as the legislators
are concerned.
One is the fight of the enemies OF
the tax equalization law to repeal that
law, and the other is the fight OF the
prohibition forces to kill the bill to
place q recall on the mayor of Savan-
nah. In the last-named fight the lines
will be drawn substantially as they
were in the memorable fight last year
which resulted in the passage of the
new prohibition laws, the most drastic
ever written on the statute books OF
ally state.
w. j. Pierpont, mayor of Savannah,
closed the saloons in that city when
the new prohibition laws went into eft
feet on May LIST, and has kept them
closed, while in portions of Chatham

THE RURAL SCHOOL
(By j. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent United States Bureau of
Education, Washington, D. CO

/
Agent United States Bureau of
Education, Washington, D. CO
The deplorable conditions existing
in the rural schools of Arkansas on
account of the short terms of school
are pointed out in our previous talk.
Let us hope, however, that better day
is dawning for the rural schools of
| Arkansas. There is a Statewide cam
paign now on in Arkansas to amend
tie constitution so as to make the
maximum school tax II mills, instead
/ Of mills as at present. DR.. Charles
Fl. Brough, the newly nominated can
didate of the Democratic party for
governor, pledged himself before the
State Teachers Association at Little
Rock in April to tour the entire state
in campaign in favor of this amend
ment for higher school tax. There
is now well organized campaign en-
in Arkansas among educators, bust
ness and professional men in favor Of
this amendment
As we have noted in previous talks
in this series, regarding the length of
the school term, there are rural school
districts in California with only a so
day school term; in Georgia, with only
4 25day school term; in Illinois, with
only 44-day school term; in Iowa,
with only 4O-day school term; in
North Dakota with only a 20-day
school term, in South Dakota, with
only a 5O-day school term; in Tonnes
see, with only 55-day school term;
and in Texas, with only a 3O-day school
term. And there are other states in
which the campaign for longer rural
school term should be waged in season
and out of season.
AS a rule, when we speak of length
ening the school term, it presupposes
the need Of more money. But in our
next talk we shall endeavor to show
how the school term may be lengthen-
ed without voting another mill oil
school tax. 1t is due the taxpayer, so
far as possible, that we increase the
school term without increasing his
tax; but where this is impossible, the
taxpayers must be patriotic enough to
be willing to pay the necessary iG-
crease Of school tax. If the patriotism
20, the taxpayer will not prompt hin
to do this, he should do it for the sake
OF enlightened selfishness if for mol
higher purpose. He should know. with
Edward Everett that Education is a
better safeguard of liberty than a
standing army with Benjamin H.
Hill that NO nation ever yet paid too
much for the education of its people,
ard themor it pays for this purpose
the richer and the more powerful it
will become"

ORIGIN OF EASTER EGGS.

There fell from heaven one day. long, long ago, an egg of immense size. It rested on the Euphrates, where doves descended and matched it, when out from it arose in splen- did beauty Easter, or Venus, and that explains why eggs are favor ite food during the festival of this lovely deity. When the early Christ ians made their way north, conquer ing for Christ, they preserved this feast, but changed it's application. "We will maintain your celebration" they said, "but it shall henceforth mean the resurrection of Christ" And that explains why it is that this joyous Christian festival bears an old heather name. Similarly with the egg It was retained as a symbol of the day and is thus used to the present time in many lands.
