CHECKERS VERSUS ALGEBRA.

Just let the school teachers and sup
erintendents get together and the pro-
mitigation of atartlingly new and
unique theories is sure to result. The
latest is the proposal to substitute
checkers for higher mathematics in
the public schools.
This proposition was advocated at a
recent conference of Southern educa-
tors by Prof Burks, of Philadelphia.
Algebra" said he, has value to
some who intend to become engineers
or draughtsmen, but that it should be
forced on ninety-nine in order to sat
isfy one is not justifiable.
The Philadelphia pedagogue is not
the first to deprecate the value of
mathematics in the curriculum. IF
ones wit is wandering, let him study
mathematics said Francis Bacon in
one of his sententious essays. And
John Milton, several hundred years
ago, in his admirable "Tractate on Ed
ucation" gave arithmetic compare
tive low rating at Il period when the
study of Figure was generally es-
teemed.
But no matter what view the school
ma ANS and the professors may enter
tain of this idea, We venture to assert
that it would unanimously adopted if
left to a vote of the pupils. They
would certainly prefer the gentle
door sport of jumping kings to dig
ging out cube roots. ''I'll choose the
blacks" the red-headed youngster on
the back seat would say If confronted
with a choice between the checker
board and a problem in geometry, and
just think of the consequences toi
school discipline if the pupil should
trap the teachers king in double
corner.
Checkers may be fine Intellectual
pastime, but the game was never in
tended for schoolroom use

his wife's use of cosmetics.

THE JAPANESE.

Undoubtedly the Japanese would |
now be fighting on the field of France
but for the peculiar feelings of the
white race toward the yellow. The;
sentiment is general, and has obtained
for centuries, that the white and the
yellow races cannot harmonic, no,
more than the finite and the black. But
for this racial antipathy, the Japan
csc would unquestionably have been
brought into the fighting.
The Japanese are an appreciated
people They are smart, progressive,
ambitious, and admirable in many re-
spots. But the sentiment exists, new
ertheless, that they are not white" in
the sense that we call people
white"
Anthropologists repudiate any sug
gestion of community of race or Ian
guage between the Caucasian, or fair
, type of man, and the Mongolia, or yell
low type.
However, there are some who are
now asserting that the Japanese are
Anear" white, or partially white, by
, reason of having descended from or
amalgamated with the Amos. But it
is a we'll nigh indisputable fact that
the Japanese have no affinity with the
Caucasic branch of humanity, or even
with the chronological division known
as Aryan.
Says one encyclopedia: "The Jap
anese may be regarded as belonging
to the great Monaghan family of peo-
pie (apart from the Amos, who are of
, a different race
! And, regarding the Amos, still an
other encyclopedia says: "They are
a race who were probably the first in
habitants of Japan, but VINO are now
reduced to about fifteen thousand, con-
fined chiefly to two islands. They
speak a different language from Japan
! csc, and appear to be rapidly dyin
out Their features are rather Euro
pean than Monaghan They are heart
}, lily despised by the Japanese
i Surprising that the Japanese are a
mongreI or hybrid race, all of thei
predominating characteristics are
] Monaghan. In that event it is as with
mixture of white and black blood
the offspring is considered negroid
: even to the fifth and sixth generations.
And, too, it is often the case that in
an amalgamation of that character, the
result in an inferior product. Here in
Georgia a person with one-eighth ne
gro blood is legally considered a ne
! gro.
Yet there is one modern authority.

Prof. w. e. Griffis, of New York, who
holds that the Japanese as such were
not formed until the twelfth century
and that they are made up of four

.OUR NEXT SENATOR.

The Times Recorder is in receipt o
pamphlet of eight pages, illustrated
with Photographic likeness of Rev
C. N Donaldson, d. D., and entitled
Our Next U. s. Senator From Geor
gia With His Platform"
1t is interesting, more interesting
than important 1t is interesting as
affording speculation as to what could
have been accomplished along some,
useful line with the money spent by
Rev. Donaldson On the printing and
distribution of these pamphlets. With
the money thus thrown away, China
man could have been fed on rice for a
year and converted to religion newer
and more progressive than his. A Bel
gian mother and her two children
could probably be fed for six or eight
months. A thousand Bible could have
been bought for the soldier boys in
France Destitution among scores of
families in our own state could have
been relieved. 1t could have been pa,
triotically invested in Liberty Bonds
~. Nor SSfo1ora
In his platform, Rev. Donaldson
discusses National Prohibition,
Government Ownership" Publ |
Ownership" Public Roads and High
ways" Taxation and Assessment
Loyalty to Our, Government, "Wo-,
mans Suffrage, and, last but certainly
not least, himself. He says that Con-
gress needs "a few praying preachers,
and he evidently thinks that by his
ability to exhort and beseech he is
qualified for seat in the most august
deliberative body in the world.
The fact that nobody, outside of the
circle in which he moves, has ever
heard of Rev. C. N. Donaldson as a
political figure or factor, apparently
makes no difference. He serenely
styles himself "our next senator" and
proceeds to tell what he can, should,
and will do, once he is elected.
DIR. Donaldson is doubtless distin
guished pulpiteer. No doubt he has
done much pod in this world, He is
most likely clean, earnest, pious, God
fearing man But he knows nothing
about politics, not even the first prin-
ciples; and he seemingly does not
know that it takes votes to be elected,
and that there are ways and wiles and
arts and articles in getting votes. One
cannot get them by mailing out illus
trated platform pamphlets, and by
staying at home in Kirkwood, nor by
delivering lectures Don "The Fall Of
The Kaiser" while waiting, and
praying for the lightning to strike.
In his Conclusion" DR.. Donald
son informs us that he is ''57 years OF
age. weighs 1870 pounds, and is in Wig
orous health" Physically he is big
enough to run for any office from pres
ident down, and We are glad that his
constitution is sufficiently robust to
permit him to indulge himself in this
outdoor sport. AS to his age, we think
that he is old enough to know better;
,ct evidently he doesn't.
Rev. Donaldson has our very kind
| est regards, and when he becomes our
i next United States Senator froI1
Georgia" we hope that he remembers
/ these few kind words by giving us an
/ appointment that pays eight or ten
i thousand year with nothing to do.

I 70 The True Northerner from Miami,
Florida. Mr.. Myers was formerly .
resident Of this village, and was
county clerk in this county for two
termss His home now il in Hills
dale, but he usually journeys to
sunny south for the winter months
am thinking that it may be as
interesting to some If the Northern
readers as it was surprising to Mrs.
Myers and myself when on Febr
22nd, an Auto trailing q miniature
hearse stopped in front of our
Florida home and sounded their
SPARTAN" horn.
Upon investigation we were ready
to sing the doxology to find its occu-
pants-the auto, not the hearse
contain E. A. Aseltire and wife and
w. A. Prater and wife.
We have had three or four days of
20 be joyful" Until one has expert
enced being a couple thousand miles
from anywhere, alone, without
familiar face, they cannot appreciate
such an incident as this. Well, we
found them as "fat" as ever-Asel-
tine and Mrs. Prater were-with
complexion "fiery brown" They
looked good and tough in every re-
spect. They have certainly proved
themselves some "Globe trotters."
AT the time of their arrival here they
had travelled across twelve states,
and $500 miles. They left us yester-
day morning, starting on their last
clap" toward Michigan. They had
then spent their seventy-third night
in the hearse, otherwise-"t trailer"
To explain the "hearse", they one
day in Mississippi, Louisiana or some
where, met darby who stopped
them and said-"wat might youans
got in da ae cops?
l see by the Northerner that Paw
Paw has quite number of people
in Florida. | often wonder why they
do not come to the Mecca? They
will find it at miami" We have
tried some of the other places-they
are fine when compared with Michi-
gan this winter. ] notice every day
the temperature of the country and of
many places in Florida, and always
find where it is hot. Orlando, San
ford, Kissummice are four to six de-
grees "hotter," and when cold the
same or more colder than Miami.
Day after day, week after week,
reaches 1916, sunshine
bright, scarcely ever rain, with a
beautiful ocean breeze. In the midst
of the best oranges and grape. fruit
in the world, splendid fishing, and all

TALK TO WATERS

Have you ordered your Plow repairs yet?
1t has been suggested in our advertis-
ment during the past few weeks that
you give this your early attention.
The Federal Government have set aside a
Repair Week" for the United States.
They see the Importance of this serious
question
Freight shipments are slow. The manu-
facturers are short on materials 1t is
important to the country at large that
you have your tillage tools in repair
when the season opens up. 1t is i'm.
portant to you - too 1t is cheaper to
pay freight on several orders combined
than to pay express or parcels post on
each order separate. Now is the time
to act.
Talk to Waters for Grape Irvine and Tangle-
foot. The stock is more than rs per
cent sold now
We have 25 bushels pride of the North"
Seed Corn in transit now from the
West Orders are being booked on this
shipment at $500 per bushel. Cash
when delivered.
Special bargains in Wagons. If you are in
the market for wagon this Spring,
you had better talk to Waters. Before
the season is far along there promises
to be a serious shortage in wagon gears.
The government is taking them in large
quantities. We have few carried over
from last season that will be offered
you at less than present wholesale
prices and freight
