A RIDICULOUS SUGGESTION.

H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, the rich
lawyer and professional politician,
has asked the chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee to
arrange a series of joint debates be-
tween the various candidates and al
legged candidates for the United States
Senate. subject to certain rules and
conditions.
Mr. Dean also says that he does not
want to take any advantage" of the
junior senator by discussing his re-
cord, unless he is present-a kindness
and a consideration hitherto unknown
in politics!
OF course, the state Democratic eX-
ecutiye committee is not going to at
tempt any project of the kind sug-
geSted by Mr.. Dean.
The committee has no Jurisdiction
over such matters. 1t might as we'll
try to regulate the tides, change the
calendar, fix the price of gourds, and
prescribe what the candidates for of
flee in Georgia shall eat for breakfast
on Sundays.
Every candidate has a right to con-
duct his own campaign in any manner
he pleases. It is his privilege to enter
into joint debates or to refuse to speak
at all. 1t is his prerogative to go into
only one district or to visit all twelve.
He may not want to visit the partic-
ular district designated by the state
executive committee at the time speci-
fed, and it would place him in an I'M
fair position if he were absent. The
state executive committee has moth
ing in the world to do with the way a
candidate shall run for Office
Besides, there can possibly be no
joint debate now, with the junior SEN
ator participating. He has declared,
positively and explicitly, that he will
not take part in any public discussion
unless his opponents agree not to ques-
ton his motives impugn his integrity,
and attack his patriotism The junior
senator's motives, ietngrity and pa
triotism constituting the sole issue
in this campaign, with them eliminated
there would be nothing to talk about
and he knows it better than anybody
else!
He is simply afraid to enter into a
debate about his motives, integrity and
patriotism, well knowing that he can
not successfully defend either of them.
Mr.. Deans appeal to the state Dem
ocratic executive committee is merely
a sample of the scheming INDUCED in
by the Atlanta professional polite
ians, with whom Mr.. Dean has been
closely affiliated both before and
since he was one of Slaton's chief
workers in the Macon convention.

PASSING OF A CUSTOM.

Examinations at the end of the
school year have long been the bug
bear of pupils and teachers alike. Their
professed purpose is to determine
whether the pupils have made enough
progress in their studies to be advanc-
ed to the next grade, or if it happens
to be their last year, to receive du-
piomas. Many educators have always
maintained that the plan was absurd,
because in nearly every case the
teacher already knows whether a
pupil ought to pass. If there were to
be any examinations at all, they argue,
only those whose standing is in doubt
should be examined
Along with this logical argument,
there has always been the powerful
objection that formal examinations,
when given so much weight in deter
mining a pupils standing do much
mental and physical harm to the boys
and girls They make the conscien-
tious ones overwork at time when
they are tired out already with the
years grind In many cases they
cause nervous breakdowns. In nearly
all cases they involve a severe strain.
There has lately been natural re-
action against this venerable institu-
ton Various cities are this year, for
the first time. abolishng the final ex-
aminations entirely in the grade and
high schools. Henceforth the pupils
promotion is to be determined by his
daily work. supplemented by informal
tests" given at intervals throughout
the year 1t would be a fine thing if
this plan were made universal
