NEW YORK, January 26.-Dr
Royal s. Copeland. United States SEN
ator-elect, and F. N. Shepherd, ex-
ecutive manager of the American
Bankers Association. voiced conflict
ing opinions upon labor disputes at
a dinner of group seven of the New
York State Bankers Association last
night.
In answer to Mr.. Shepherds state
ments to the effect that the educa-
tion of the masses is the means OF
relieving discomfort, DR.. Copeland
charged that the men in high places
do not inform themselves"
I'VE cannot pride ourselves par
ticularly on having an intelligent
public opinion on economic Ques-
tions.", Mr. Shepherd said. In times
of business distress the railroads. the
banks and all kinds of large busi-
ness enterprises are assailed. The
railroads, the public utilities and the
corporations are not owned by mil
lionafres' or Wall street but by the
millions who hold stock certificates.
Once arouse the people to the fact
that their own interests are the OBJ
jects of attack" he concluded, "and
they will make short work Of the
demagogues and politicians who de-
ceive them"
You cannot educate men who are
hungry" DIR. Copeland said. You've
got to have satisfied stomach first
The present coal dlff1culty illustrates
my point. What is the cause?
Higher Fps Need Facts.
The reason is because the coal
carrying railroads have not made peace
with their striking shopmen because
of their failure to settle the strike
The men in high places do not inform
themselves"
DIR. Copeland declared that health
inspectors whom he sent to the out
lying coal regions to investigate re
ported that the coal shortage was
due to the cars standing on the tracks
broken down and idle.
Then | wrote to the President OF
the United States" DR.. Copeland said
"and the answer came back that the
President has known for a long time
that the cause of the present coal
shortage was that the carriers had
not kept their obligations"
The only way the workmen have OF

You do not realize the amount OF

TODAY IS SCHOOL AND TEACHER'DAY
PARENTS ARE URGED TO VISIT SCHOOLS

In the program Of specially desig-
mated days for Education Week, today
has been listed as School and Teacher
Day. This subject is one that can be
given q broad Interpretation. First OF
all In Augusta, the citizens can take
account of stock and find much to be
proud of in the splendid personnel of
the teaching staff of our public schools.
Then to other citizens 1t should sug-
gest the opportunity of visiting the
grade and high schools and observing
at first hand the functioning of the
public school system.
Our educators strive to secure the
services Of the best trained and quail
ihed teachers possible. and this effort
covers the rural schools now as COM
pletely as it does the grade schools
or the city. The teaching staff in the
Augusta schools is q splendid group of
experts in education. and their methods
are producing results as Is evidenced
by the splendid scholastic records of
Augusta boys and girls in schools and
colleges after they have left this com
munity to continue their education in
higher institutions of learning.
Superintendent of Schools Fred w.
Burrill in his remarks before the MEM
bers of the Augusta Rotary Club at
ton to the neglect on the part of the
parents and citizens in the matter of
visiting the schools during the regular
sessions. This is one phase of COOP
GRAFTON between the parents and teach
ers in which there is considerable OPP
portunity for improvement. Some pa
rents send their children to school
year after year but never visit the
school for a personal talk with the
teacher about the child's progress in
his studies.
Unfortunately it is true that many
parents do not know the name of the
teacher who has the training of their
child in charge, or would not recognize
her If they should meet on the streets.
In his remarks before the Rotarians,
Mr.. Burrill drew the apt parallel of a
horseman who had a valuable colt and
sent him to a trainer for development.
That owner would certainly go to the
training stable often to see how his
horse was being fed. housed and cared
for, and If he were receiving the proper
kind of training. Should we care less
about the training conditions and en-
yironment surrounding our children?
On this School and Teacher day
of National Education week it is
hoped that many narents will make
a special effort to visit the city
schools and inform themselves of
the educational facilities which their
children enjoy. Those who have the
educational department of the city
in charge welcome suggestions and
constructive criticism. but they
rightfuify feel that before the par
ents criticize, they should visit the
schools more often and inform them
selves on the workings of the school
system that they, may be qualified
to discuss the matter.

cuted was the Missionary program

luncheon, served in the vestry, with
much to please the eye and tempt the
palate. The mental and spiritual
stimulus was provided by the dele

during the luncheon.
At 7.30 an open meeting was eff
Joyed in the Sunday school rooms
and q beautiful pageant was pre-
scented. This pageant depicted con-
dltlons as they actually exist in the
MISSION field and brought a plea for
medical missionaries. The pageant
was under the direction of Miss Toll
man and much credit is due to her
and her assistants. Mrs. Scion Pur-
linton rendered beautiful solos be-
tween the acts. The special commit
tee in charge of the luncheon con-
sisted of Mrs. Alice Sheldon, Mrs.
