WELL-ROUND ED EDUCATION

fore neglect one phase of education for the
other, or develop one part of the mind at the
expense of another, but educate the whole
mind and develop all the faculties OF the girl
and the boy.
We must likewise pay as much attention
to our public schools in Georgia as we do to
our colleges and universities or our educa-

like unto the man who wears a silk hat and
mud boots. Educate all.
Creation is the throwing OF things out or

When one thinks OF the excellent work tne
Georgia Normal and Industrial college is DO
ing in Georgia. the whole educational PROB
lem begins to revolve in his mind. He IS
wont to inquire of himself what shall we ed
ucate-the cultural or the industrial side OF
our girls and boys? Shall we make them
unitarian or classical Of mind? The reply
should be simple and more so in this day and
time: We must develop all. We must de-
yelop in the school and college both the Gull
tural and the industrial, both the utilitarlan
and the classical. Georgia Normal and In
dustrial attempts to do this.

and the convention of the new congress.
case in point has just occurred. While there
was, of course, a Republican majority in both
branches of the congress-, this majority was
materially increased on both sides of the cap
itOl as result of the elections last Novem-
Der. Also, the Democratic aspirant for the
presidency was overwhelmingly defeated.
With this expression of the will of the
American people registered, the waning Will
son administration was forced to sit and
twddle it's thumbs until March fourth Not
until then could the cogs of the governmental
machinery start again. A parallel situation
developed when Woodrow Wilson was first
elected. The then president, William Howard
Taft, feeling an obligation not to embarrass
the man who would succeed him, was forced
to sit with idle hands, despite the fact that
the Mexican situation was then an acute mat
ter of foreign policy.
The origin of the long wait between the
election of a president and the time of his
taxing Office dates back to the beginning OF
the nation. After the thirteen original colo
MES freed themselves from British rule and
formed the UniteS States of America. it was
found that the territory of the new nation
was so vast and conditions of travel so Drin-
tive, that a considerable time was necessary
to travel to the capital from the more remote
regions. For that reason, the elaborate sys-
tenn for the election of the president and
vice president was built up.
rms system, still IN operation, provided
that electors for president should be chosen
on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November at il 1rvals of four years. This is
still the election day.
The next ste is the meeting of the electors
on the second Monday in January following
the election. They convene in the various
state capitals. These are the people who act
Iually vote for the president and vice president
The Original System
Three reports are made of the results of
these meetings of the electors From each
state capital, one report is sent to the con-
gress of the United States by special messen-
ger. second report is forwarded to con-
gress by mail The third report in each case
is filed with the United States district Judge
presiding in the various districts in which
the state capitals lie The original purpose
of this was to insure a rec d of the action
of the electors in each state being preserved.
If anything happened to the special messenger
| from any state, there would be the attested
record of the electors action which would
reach congress by mail. Should both records
be lost, the record filed with the district judge
at the state capital would then be conveyed
to Washington as the official record for that
| state.

A correspondent writes:
"Do you think appreciates his wife
more if she was hard to win, than he does if
she did the wooing?"
Surely. The more difficult thing is to get
the more we esteem it. 1t is one of the
cardinal principles of human nature that we
set little value on things that come to us
easily and it is only that for which we have
toiled, and agonized, and Striven, that we prize
1t is the peach that hangs highest on the
tree that allureS us, not the over-ripe one that
is ready to drop into our mouths. If dia-
mondS were the same price as soft coal, and
we could buy them by the ton, we should
never htink of setting them in a ring, or
adjoining our neckS with strings of carbon.
People who are born with full pocketbook
in the mouths, so to speak, are nearly always
MASTERS and SpenderS. They do not know how
hard it is to earn a dollar and so they do not
value it. 1t takes the men and women who
have worked, and pinched and Scrinched, who
have gone hungry and shabby to rake to-
gether, one by one, the pennies in their savings
account, to know how to appreciate money.
So it is with everything in the world. Easy
come, easy 60, seems to be the universal rul-
ing. The more thing costs us, the more we
value it, and the more carefully we cherish it.
It's the price tags we have written with Our
blood and sweat before which we knock our
foreheadS on the ground in reverence.
This is as true in matters of affection as it
is in material things. You see it exemplified
every day in family relationships. The chill
dren, who have had adorng and self-Sacrific-
ing mothers, take their mothers affection for
granted. They are not grateful for the cease
less care that broodS them, for the labor that
ministers to their every want, for the SYM
pathy that never fails them.
1t takes some poor little homeless chap,
who has never had a mother to tuck him into
bed, a mothers breast to weep out his Sor-
rows on, or mothers cookies to eat, to thrill
at the touch of woman'S hand, and to fol-
low like lost puppy any woman who will
show any motherlineSS to him.
Men so almost universally prize love in pro-
portion to the difficulty of winning it, that it
may almost be said that the average man never
wants the woman who wants him, and that the
more a cares for him, the less he cares
for her. Of course this is little exaggeraton
of the situation, but it is fact that nothing
makes woman SO desirable to man, either
before or after marriage, as for him to be
never quite certain whether he has caught her
or not.
This is why the women who want to marry,
and who are frankly and boldly out on huS-
band hunt, nearly all die old maids. Once let
a man realize that a woman desires him for

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 14.-The old
wv evil of permitting defeated members
of congress to continue to sit and en-
act the nations laws for four months after
their successors have been elected is again
causing great deal of discussion in congress-
Ordinarily, this discussion is revived every
two years, during the prediction campaigns
The fact that it is now under discussion at
the beginning of new administration is
taken as an indication that there is a better
chance than ever before Of changing the eX-
istiYg law, and remedying the difficulty.
Another thing which is condemned almost
unanimously by public men, but which has
never be'n changed, is that newly elected
President does not take office until four
months, sometimes to a day, from the date Of
foul years, and often only once in eight years
Therefore, despite the greater Importance of
the presidential position, the situation as it
affects congress is generally regarded by
members of that body as in more vital need
of remedy by legislation.
There is widespread belief that an amend
ment to the Constitution would be needed to
change the convention date of congress- This
is not so, and is proved by the simple words
of the Constitution itself. The second para
graph of Section 4, Article 1, provides:
'"The congress shall assemble at least once
in every year, and such meeting shall be on
the first Monday in December, unless they
shall by law appoint a different day.
''They" refers to the members of congress
1t is generally conceded that the meeting date
of congress, can by authority of this section
of the Constitution, be changed to any time
the majority of it's members may select, if
the President approves of the change.
One of the greatest objections to the pres
ent system is that under ordinary conditions,
a member of the house senate is elected
in Novem ger of one year and does not take
his seat in congress until December of the
following year. In the case Of members Of
the house, this leaves them but eleven months
before they must be up for reelection. 1t
has worked out in hundreds of cases that
newly elected members of the house, comm :,
to Washington for the first time under such
conditions, have to give nearly all of their
time to the business Of politics in order to
keep their coveted positions. Their strictly
congressional duties naturally suffer from this
neglect, and the whole country is the loser.
Defeated Congressman Hold Seats
Another objection often brought forward
is that mem ers of the house and senate con

With an overturn of the party holding the

mate, and is determined to have him, and it's
all off with him. They woman may be pretty,
and attractive, and intelligent, but the mere
fact that she is pursuing him, instead of him
pursuing her. puts him on the defensive and
makes him use every ruSe to escape her.
Everywhere you see girls who never have
any BEAU who have never had any attention
from men, whose only lack of charm is that
they want the attentions of men too much.
Their mothers scheme for them too openly,
and try to bride men to come to see them,
and take them about feeding them and auto
MODELLING them, and the girls themselves are
too pleased, and too grateful when men notice
them.
Their trouble is that they are too willing.
They are not, difficult enough. Any man knows
that he can have one of them whenever he
asks for her, with a nice chrome from papa
thrown in, SO he never asks. Men are the
artful dodgers and when woman throws her
self at ones head, he nearly always SideStepS
her.
Nothing queers a girls chance of getting a
man so quickly as letting him see that she
wants him. 1t is to be remembered that our
grandmotherS always played coy, and reluctant,
and always told the sutton when he proposed
thu they were SO surprised, and had never
thought of such thing. 1t is also worth
bearing in mind that there were few SpinsterS
in those days, and that the tactics of our anceS-
treSSeS in handling men have never been i'm
proved upon.
And just as the man is most anxious to
marry the oman who is least anxious to
marry him, so is the man most anxious to
please the wife who takes the least trouble to
please him. Of course men will rise with one
voice and denounce this statement, but every
woman knows that it is true.
Theoretically, the most cherished wife should
be the woman who works her fingers to the
bone to make her husband comfortable; who is
meek, and patient, and forbeari1g and thrifty
and saving, and who spends her days in adora-
ton Of the god-like creature to whom she is
united in the holy bonds of matrimony.
Practically nobody ever saw a woman who
made a doormat of herself, who didn't get
trodden upon and kicked about. The woman
who is queen of her husbands heart, and who
keeps him lover to the end of the chapter, is
the aStute dame who demands much of him
who is hard to please, and who keeps herself
looking so desirable that he doesn't see why
some other man mightn't want her. So he
keeps wanting her himself.
The French have a proverb that says that
in love one kisses, and permits oneself to be
kissed. If woman desires to be the kiSSee
she must never be the kiSSer

Construction m the South.

THE sustained upward trend of the
South's construction activities is we'll
attested by reports to the Manufac-
Curers Record Of contracts awarded and en-

May. These represent an aggregate outlay
OF twenty-five million dollars and embrace all
types of building from domiciles to indus

undertaken or definitely planned, the weeks
total for such items amounting to nearly five
million dollars. In virtually every line, the
Manufacturers Record comments, "activity
is holding up WELL and there are no indica-
tons that the peak is in sight. In fact many
plans for projects large and small are still in
the initial stages for work involving the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars, much If
which will get under way in time to insure

Americans HOnored

Ten Americans who fought in the world
war and then came to Poland to fight against
the Bolsheviki were honored at Warsaw by
President Pilsudki and General Joseph
Halter at ceremonies attending the demoblli-
cation of the famous Kosciusko aerial squad
ron, composed of young aviators from the
United States.
General Pilsudski, in his residence, BelVe-
dere palace, decorated Lieutenant Colonel
Cedric e. Fauntleroy, of Chicago; Lieutenant
Colonel Merton Cooper, of Jacksonville, Fla;
Major George M. Crawford, OF Wilmington
Del; Captain Edward ]. Corst, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, and First Lieutenant Elliott Chess, or
Texas, with the Cross Of the Brave.
General Halter later awarded the Pollsh
service medal to all ten members OF the
squadron whom he thanked for their serv-
ices in aid of Poland. He asserted the names
of Fauntleroy, Cooper and Crawford would
live in Polish history the same as the names
of Koscusko and Pulaski were remembered
in the United States.
Most of the American aviators are plan
ming to return to the United States in the
near future.
