A year or two ago heard a min

should send your children to denomi-

your own denomination, but you can
certainly do that at State College.
1t seems to me Ill is broadening,
greatly so, to be thrown with people
of various denomination. We being
thrown with people of almost every
rank and religion, get bigger, broad
er vision of the peoples and religions
of our country. Our eyes are also
opened to many needs, and various
ways in which we may help to meet
these needs. At the same time, we
may be loyal to our own church. At
my Alma Mater, Winthrop College,
it has been arranged so that the girls
are free every Sunday morning, to
attend any Sunday school ar preach

Why We Should Have State
Colleges.

4 paper read by Miss Janice Morga,
1.before the Woman's Missionary So
]ciety of the Baptist church.)
4 1t would be a difficult proposition
4 indeed, to do this subject Justice
shall merely tell very little of what
have learned of State Colleges
from observation and experience, try
ling to show through this discussion
why we should have State Colleges.
1t has been said that the aim of
education is to make one Socially
deficient. take this phrase, "social-
" efficient" to mean we'll trained
and developed up to the notch, ply
sically, mentally, morally and relig-
!iously. You know our state has at
heart the very best for =; people, and
lis doing all in its power to provide
a better means of educating it's peo-
ple-for only with Socially efficient"
individuals, each man and woman,
can we have a socially efficient"
state. Hence, our State Colleges.
These institutions of learning make
education possible to both rich and
poor. There are numbers and num-
bers of ambitious boys and girls in
&he state, (and of course, what I say
of this state applies in most cases to
other states, too) who, when they
have finished high school, long to go
to college, and better fit themselves
to become citizens and do "worth
while" things for their state. But the
parents of these boys and girls are
not financially able to send them to
college. But there is something the
boy or girl may do. He or she may
stand the entrance or scholarship ex-
to the State Colleges.
Some boys and girls are bound to get
scholarships, either state or one of
The various others offered. Of course
you will understand that the state
gives as many scholarships to each
county as it has representatives, leg
slators. If they do. not receive one

what we know of our own, can you
tell me wherein the religious devel-

one just or sane reason why we
should not have State. Colleges, 1

J
great per cent of the boys and girls,
some of whom become our greatest
and most useful citizens, are enabled
to get an education when had it not
been for the State Colleges they
would have remained uneducated.
And could our state ever attain $50
cial eficiency?"
Looking at this question from an
entirely different point of view. The
state appropriates funds for the es-
tablishment of such institutions as
the penitentiary, jails, asylums, hos
pitals, homes for the feeble minded,
etc. Then, are the representatives of
our state government going to pro-
vide for such institutions as these,
to the neglect of the highest form of
uplift and improvement of our peo-
ple-"education?" Surely not! Then
l say let US have State Colleges. Per-
haps of we had more such colleges
we should not need so many institu-
tlons as those mentioned above. One
of the greatest advantages of State
college is, that it is backed by our
law makers and representatives. Our
State Colleges each have strong
and able body of trustees to look af-
ter the affairs of the college. But
they also have the representatives of
our government behind them to direct
Them and see that "things are going l
right" so to speak. Every year or
TWO our legislators visit our State +
Colleges. They eat with us, they in
'pect the rooms in our dormitories,
hey inspect the other buildings on '
he campus and even see to the con- r
litions of everything at the farm. A
state College must be up-to-date in
very way, or something must, and
7ill be changed.
1t is the duty, and I believe it is
ne purpose of our government to N
ee to it that its people have the right N
ind of educational facilities, and 1 D D
0 not know of any better method -,
ian through our State Colleges. \,
Some people object to sending Ii
leir children to State Colleges be- "a
luse they say, there is not the prop til
religious environment, they say. dc
hey do not receive the proper re- M
sious training, in short, the religi- in
is side of their life is neglected. I co
not know why people say this. 1t
ay be because they are ignorant of
nditions there, but l do know that
ch a thing is untrue. At our State

means is taken of emphasizing o

CONFEREES KILL
BRUNSWICK AND
SAVANNAH ITEMS
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building,)
NV TEE0DORE TTTEER

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Greatly
to the disappointment of Senators
Smith and Harris, Represents tive
Overstreet, and others of the Geo.
gia delegation, the conferees on the
rivers and harborS appropriation bill
have eliminate the amendments put
in by the senate covering surveys
of the Brunswick and Savannah har-
bors.
An amendment by Senator Smith
provided a survey from breakers out
to the sea at Savannah, instead of
from Kings Island only. The bill,
as it comes from conference, retains
the house provision limiting the sur
vey to Kings Island. The conferees
have also eliminated the Harris
amendm 7nt approved by the senate,
for a survey of Brunswick harbor
to ascertain if it required waiting
for two tides for ships of regular
steamship lines to reach their docks,
and in sailing from that port.
have the senate insist upon reten-
ton of the senate amendments, but
the chances are not good because Of
the congeSted state of legislation and
the fact that it is hard to change a
conference report.
The conferees are still in disagree
ment over the amount to be carried
in the river and harbor budget, lie
house standing out for a small lump
sum bill of $12,000,000 and the sem
ate insisting on $24,000,000. The
conferees have retained the senate
amendment permitting the transfer
of the dredge Cumberland" from
Fernandina harbor to Savannah har-
Dor without charge.

wants a new senate. On the other
hand, if the American people sus-
tain the present senate next Novem-
her Mr.. Wilson can turn over the
development of American foreign
policy and treaty and all data there
on to the next president of the Unit
ed States.
It begins to look certain that
Woodrow Wilson never will with
draw his name from the treaty of
Versailles Or negotiate a separate
peace with Germany. He regards
what the senate has tried to do in
the way of a peace resolution as "an
ineffaceable stain on Americas hon
Or" and with that statement he rests
his case. If the American people &c
fer with him, they can say so at the
polls.
TO Write Treaty Plank
Incidentally, Mr.. Wilson will have
his say in the Democratic national
platform at San Francisco. There is
no doubt that he will write the plank
on the treaty issue himself and that
he then will state the case for or
against reservations, making distinc
tions then on the subject of null1fy
ing Or interpretatiVe reservations. He
has the advantage over the Republi-
cans for they must meet in Chicago
first and declare themselves.
They could not afford to postpone
action on the treaty plank until after
the Democrats have met without
being open to charges of timidity.
And if Johnson is, the nominee the
Republicans undoubtedly will hav6
declared against the whole treaty
and covenant.
So the president bides his time,
keeps treaty of peace at the White
about sending it back until the SEN
ate manifests it's desire to have the
treaty back. If tWo-thirds Of the
senate should get up Round Robin
saying what reservations they would
like to see put upon the treaty and
submitted this request to the 'presi-
dent, he could not afford to ignore
it. Such a move might be made aft
er the convention and serve to befog
the political alignments again espe-
cially if the presidents side Of the
argument appears to be making
Roadway. The treaty position is
far from being defined. The, politl-
clans are too resourceful to let Mr..
Wilson have it all his way.
Playing Clone Hand"
Comment on the presidents veto
message was a mixture of cynicism
and suppressed approval. Most SEN
atOrS realize that the Knox reSolu-
ton was a poor political move be-
cause it was destined to failure. 1t
proposed no international agreement
and only the repeal of domestic laws.
On the other hand, Republicans and
Democrats alike thought the presi-
dents political astuteness was GER
tainly a bit faulty when he put that
sentence about the freedom of seas
and reduction Of armament in his
veto message. He declared that the
Knox resolution did nothing about
these two points and members of
congress recalled that Mr.. Wilson did
nothing about them in Paris either,
at least he sidestepped the freedom
of the seas and Joined in a proposal
to establish simply a committee of
investigation on the armament ques-
ton.
Somebody might have censored Mr..
Wilson'S veto message for him and
kept those two vulnerable passages
out of it but so far as can be learn
ed, the president didn't show his
veto message to any of his advisors.
He still is playing a lone hand.
