r F, in line with e. E. Rittenhouse's suggestion,
health camps established for the recon-
structing of men whom military examiners
find physically unfit, there is one type of man to
whom such camps would be of exceptional benefit.
This is the man who persists in refusing to work.
Most people assume that men of this sort
the tramps, the Migrants, the neer-do-wells Of
every kind who infest civilized society-Can best
be handled by punitive methods. They assume
that habtual idleness is due mainly to a stubborn
perversity.
In many cases it may be. But the fact remains
that punitive methods generally fail to accomplish
the desired end. And for this there is adequate
reason in the physical condition of the idlers.
Some years ago a committee of French scien-
lists carefully examined large number of Partisan
Migrants. Many of these seemed to be in the best
of health, were heavy and robust looking.
In nearly every case, however, it discov-
cred that they we're men afflicted with a peculiar
weakness of the nervous system, character
lied by slow heartbeat, low blood pressure and
poor circulation. AS a consequence they tired
easily.
Thus their idleness was, psychologically speak
ing, defense reaction. They instinctively lOafed
to conserve their feeble resources.
The findings of these French scientists have
attracted the attention they deserve. Today,
with the nation at war, they certainly are worth
taking into serious consideration.
feeling is widespread that everybody must work

Abolish This Unjust Tax
On Georgia Education.

The House Committee Constitutional Amend
nents has recommended the passage of the bill
lacking to the tax exemption of college endow-
ments where they are not invested in real estate.
This measure is profoundly important to Geor-
gias educational interests Its object is to enable
the people to restore the just and liberal policy
that prevailed prior to 1877.
Up to that year this state imposed no tax on
schools and colleges its idea being that education
was too benefcent a force in the life of the COM
u1onwealth TO be restrained or burdened. But in
the new Constitution there inserted. without
debate and evidently without the knowledge of
most of the members of the convention, clause
abolishing that wise exemption save in so far as
itsapplied to college buildings. grounds and equip
ment The result is that Georgia colleges and
universities though Unselfshly devoted to the
public good, are subjected to tax upon the
source of the subsistence.
These institutions are aiding the state in all
Important work and are aiding it freely. They
are expanding their energy and the proceeds from
millions of dollars spent from the public treas
ury. How unfair, then, and how foolish, to tax
them! II would be just consistent for the state
70 tax its own property. The federal government.
along with nearly all the states except Georgia,
exempts the incomes OF educational institutions
from taxation. And the vast majority of the peO-
uIe of Georgia, believe. wish to apply that pol
lev to their colleges and universities. The pend
ing bill gives the people opportunity to declare
their will in the matter. II should be pressed
promptly to enactment.

This also shows why democracy be
cessful only when every individual in 1t dis
charges his public duties.
Any group of non-voting persons in a democ-
racy is a menace.
All should have full civic rights, be-
cause women being disfranchised accept the pro-

Slavery is danger to any nation because It

Any group class, for whatever reason, that
does not participate in public responsibilities is
angerous-incuding slaves, women, the idle rich,
the highbrows who despise politics. and the
archists who don't believe in government.
And the same principle holds true of the world.
