The Gull of Commonwealth
In Suffering W,teracy

~ F all the life-born texts with which the
news is thronged,s few are so arresting
as this, from a story in yesterdays
Journal: "Georgia's tolerance of illiteracy
stood at the bar of justice Friday ao'-~::.oon
in Coweta county's superior court, side by
side with J. w. Minter, while the awful
words of the death sentence condemned him
to be slain at fixed time and place by the
hand of the law"
This be it said at the outset is no plea
in extenuation of crime, no suggestion by
any manner of means that sentiment inter
fere with justice.
The sin that We do by two and two,
Ye must pay for one by one.
So runs the eternal edict; society's wrong
does not absolye the individuals guilt But
societys wrong comes inexorably home to
ALL Georgia reaps today of the illiteracy
that public Indifference sowed a generation
ago. and years hence she will reap grimly
of present neglect. "Guilty!'' says the court
to convicted criminal. "Guilty!" repeats
history, her accusing finger fixed upon the
State.
Note the lineaments and ponder the past
of this condemned man as he stands listen
ing to his sentence of death: "a forlorn fig
ure, slight of build, below medium height,
without coat or vest, suspenders showing, no
collar, shirt turned back from the neck a
brand-new haircut, hair standing up in every
direction as if unaccustomed to brushing; ex-
pressionless features, dropping moustache.
All his life he had lived in the dark
Of total illiteracy. No newspaper, no perodi-
cal, no book, could reach his thought with
its message of enlightenment. In that OBJ
scurty he and his hard-worked wife had
reared their family of boys and girls as the
children of tenant-farming father and
mother. Under that handicap the children
had grown up and married, and gone out
into the world for themselves" And now,
he is to hang by the neck till dead, while his
son, an accomplice in the crime, goes to
prison for life SO ends this lesson, with
its british passion, it's homesprh pathos, its
legal justice we'll and speedily done But
there comes sequel worth every Geor-
CLANS media ton.

sentence of the Declaration of Independ-

to the little ones gathered in your arms?
Unable to write letter, how intense soever

permanent symbols and to interpret them as

fortune you probably would not philosophize
about it, but you would suffer from it at
lifes every turn. And if your pathway, thus
enshrouded wound at last to some blackened
end, you could not rightly condone your
wrong, but most justly you could reproSch
the State that left you, its child, to wander
in the dark.
Georgia has done much of late years to-
ward removing illiteracy. Yet, under the
census of 1920, she numbered nearly three
hundred and twenty-nine thousand inhabi-
tants who could not read or write. This
represents a reduction of some sixty-one
thousand compared with the record of 1910,
white illiterates having decreased by approx
imately fourteen thousand and colored illit-
crates by approximately fortyseven thou
sand 1t is no small attainment to have re-
duced negro illiteracy, which was little short
of one hundred per cent at the close of the
War Between the States, to a present per
centum which is less than that of white IL
States public school system began its great
mission of enlightenment. In 1916 it was re-
inforced by a compulsory attendance law.
Those are glorious dates in Georgia history.
But so long as there remains a single illit-
crate within her borders-~and today there
are about sixty-six thousand white illiterates
besides two hundred and sixty-one thousand
colored illiterates-an all-imperative task
will remain to be done,
That the State by merely teaching chill
dren to read and write will make good citi-
zens, is not to be maintained; but assuredly
it is not to be denied that in failing so to
teach them, she leaves them wretchedy
handicapped and dangerously exposed. Edu
cation alone, though it be the highest that
the highest of universities can give, is no
guarantee against bad citizenship; but abb
sence of education is undoubtedly a barrier
to good citizenship Who will may go to
the record and trace the fateful links be-
tween illiteracy and pauperism, illfteracy
and decadence, illiteracy and crime. When
a State or a community fails to do its ut
most to vouchsafe a good education to every
child within its bounds, it ~ unjust not alone
to the neglected children, but to its every
citizen and every interest, economic, social
and moral. Ignorance, let Georgia remem-
Der, is the curse of commonwealth, "Knowl-
edge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven"

deeper movements.
QUAKE PREDICTED TWO YEARS AGO
WASHINGTON.-The recent devastating
Japanese earthquake was predicted nearly
two years ago, F. Tondorf, S. j., director OF
the Georgetown University seismic ooserva-
tory here declared today. He pointed out
that Prof. F. Omori head of the imperial
earthquake investigation committee of Japan,
in March, 1922, forecast the occurrence OF
severe shocks within six years.
This prediction was based on the NUMBER
Of quakes in the years Immediately preced-
ing The Japanese scientist noted that When
earthquakes were many and often severe
shocks were unlikely to follow, but When
the small earth movements were relatively
few and far between over long perlod,
earthquakes were liable to be more serious
later On account of the comparative abb
! sence of quakes preceding his forecast Prof
Omori predicted that serious quakes Would
occur within a period of six years.
Through his study of rainfall in the NORTH
ern part of the islands, he was able to point
out an apparent connection between the pre-
cipitation and earthquakes, showing that
when the rainfall was exceedingly heavy IN
this section it would be followed by earth
quakeS. 1t
Omori believed that the primary cause OF
the earthquake is the breaking of the earth's
crust, but that the cause of this break is
the additional pressure furnished by the
added weight of air and water as shown in
rainfall and barometric measurements.
Prof. Omori also predicted the great
Chilean earthquake of August II, 1906,
using data worked out in regard to the
earthquakes of his native islands. He held
| that the stress applied along one of the great
| earthquake BELTS finding relief by an
earthquake movement, will not for time
affect that neighborhood; but when next the
stress finds ITSELF it will be at a distant point
along the belt. Upon the basis of this lay
he made the prediction shortly after the Cali
ifornia earthquake of April 18, 1906, that
the next great earthquake in that belt would
occur in South America south of the equator.
! Immediately after this prediction came the
| Chilean quake.
Scientists here today expressed apprehen-
sion as to the safety of Omori and other.
! Japanese seismologsts. The headquarters or
the Japanese imperial earthquake lnvest1ga-
ton committee was in Toxic and it is be-.
lieved that its instruments were put out OF
commission by the shock and perhaps that
it's records have been destroyed

oil distributed, the mail is never all
delivered before new news has to be
handled, new types have to be set,
new mails dispatched. When a person
has job in newspaper office he need
never be unemployed. He can work

employed in newspaper office, great
