To compel daily reading of the BIZ
bic in the public schools of Geor-
gia is to exercise interference in a
measure, in the religious affairs of
individuals. Our public schools are
open alike to Catholic and Protestant,
to Mohammedan and Christian-an
patronized by all Every one knows,
of course, that. the Jews do not ac-
cept all of the Christian Bible. They
should know, too, that there are
distinguishing differences between
the Protestant Bible and the Catholic
Bible, and that the Mohammedan sa-
cred book is an entirely different
book from the Christian Bible.
The Georgia law means that the
only Bible to be read in the public
schools of Georgia shall be the Prot
estant Christian Bible. That goes
without saying, for that was the in
tent Of the law Which is as fair to
the people of other faiths as it would
be to us should the law specify that
THEIR sacred book instead of ours
should be read daily in OUR public
schools to OUR children.

birthday
Now he is regarded as a nut on
BOTH" says a writer in the Boston
News Bureau, financial newspaper
The big leaders of Wall Street all
have Notwithstanding at which
they can play like boys. No matter
how busy they are, they periodically
thrust all work aside and relax in
some favorite sport or fad.
That refreshes them-keeps their
bodies young, their brains keen and
alert
1t is said in Wall Street that the
financial giant who refuses to give a
part of his time to recreation doesn {
last long. He can't stand the pace.
Something for you to think over
Have you a hobby-some way to
play? If not, you're probably in the
last stages of dry rot-mental anc
physical.

operators is golf. Some Million

p ELlG1OUS tolerance and freedom
and complete separation of the
church and state are among the fun
damentals of our liberty. History of
the ages demonstrates that religion
and morals are two things that can
not be legislated into people, To at
tempt to do it is bigotry.
Let us not take the Bible away
from our schools, but let us keep it
for voluntary, not compulsory use. It
will meet with more wholesome re-
spect if we do, and the circumstances
will more nearly parallel those prin-
cipes laid down in the Good Book.

At the next meeting of the Womans
Club of Mewood District, the new ap-
pointments of committees will be made,
and also new order of opening eXer-
cises will be inaugurated. This Will De
of great interest to the members ana
everyone should make an unusual Ell
fort to be present. Our former Presi-
dent will, it is expected. be on one OF
the most important committees,
which means much not only to those
residents OF MeIwood District proper,
but to many who live outside our dis
trict, for the far reaching influence OF
an earnest worker in the betterlng
of education in general, and our school
problems in particular, is something to
work for, and not only does this require
a good judgment, but requires per-
sonal experience in connection with the
schools. The day is already past when
a State may be kept at low rating in
EDUCATIONAL matters simply because
no one in particular takes it upon him
self to find the real reason eUhy this
is so. Today, there is certainly to be
found a woman trying to so adjust
things that waste will be lessened.s if
not eliminated, and this is sure to
bring a better condition in our school
situation.
There will be several guests present,
Mrs. Cory, the president of the County
Federation, and Miss McNaughton,
who occupies the Chair of Home Econ
omics, at the University of Maryland,
at College Park, have both accepted
invitations to be with US.

fore two on the 3rd day of May 80 that
we may all be present to take part in
