The visit of Helen Keller to her

brought forth an interview on her
early training so wonderful to be
given and received with her double
affection of deafness and blindness.
To the writer, the eulogies to the
teacher are never strong enough.
Helen Keller had wonderful mind
that God gave her. All she needed
was the link of expression between
herself an dthe minds about her.
What marvellous intuition and pa
thence and perseverance were those

Mrs. Macy, to bring knowledge to
that intellect SO ensheathed within
the shell of deadened senses. Other
minds there may have been that

factor to one of earth's gifted and

coURTEsIEs TO STRANGERS

Strangers and visitors get very different
treatment when they visit new places on their
travels and journeyings. In great many con-
sentative places no one takes any interest in
them unless they had acquaintance there pre-
viously.
But in many hustling towns there is ten
dency to make a special effort to show such
visitors around. Business men will often give
up their own time just to go around with these
people. They do it no doubt with the hope OF
building up their home town, so it is not pure
ly unselfsh generosity. And yet it does give
a visitor the idea that such community is wide
awake, with courteous people, and he carries
away favorable impression. If some of
these people are making Investigations rela-
tive to purchasing property or business inter-
ests. or change of residence, they are very
much attracted to town where there seems
this spirit of giving newcomers and strangers
the glad hand.

Pioneer Prison Reformer

The man recently died who took
the first step In modern prison re-
form. This was George 0. Osborne,
whose name should live for the splen-
did work he did. He began his pub
lie work with county institutions in
New York in early manhood along in
the SOS, instituting many of the re.
forms that brought him into national
prominence, when in 1902 he became
state warden in;.4New Jersey which
position he held for ten years. He
abolished the lock-step and made
plain clothing symbol of good con-
duct which virtually banished the
prison stripes. He abandoned the
use of dark cells and he instituted
the prison schools now considered so
valuable in discipline as we'll as get
ting men ready to make an honest
living when they leave prison. Ill
health forced Mr.. Osborne to retire.
nent In 1912 and he moved to St
Petersburg, Fla, with his family,
maintaining, however, the greatest
interest in fraternal and civic affairs
until his death last month at the age
of eighty.

WHY MUSIC SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN
THE SCHOOLS

In support of the Lions program 70 secure
a musical director for the public schools OF the
city. we CLEAN from the University Items OF
July the following, teachers observation OF
the value of teaching music in all OF the
schools of the State:
One of the greatest needs in the education
of the people of Georgia is genuine appre-
citation for good s1usic. Public School Music
in every school is the remedy-muslcal Gull
ture for the average boy and girl as well as
for the talented. Music develops an equai
balance of the intellect, because it provides
wonderful outlet for those finer emotions
which makes us human"
Saddest of all is the total lack of music in
the average rural school. There are excep-
tions of course because some teachers have
souls so brimful of life and melody that they
teach their children musical appreciation
whether required to or not. The average ru-
raj school, however, has a few songs each day,
during chapel hour, when possibly third Of
the children sing in a half-hearted manner.
Occasionally the primary teachers have song
or two when John or Henry grow too restless
to be controlled otherwise. Think OF the
beauty these children are missing.
And we are losing the beautiful folk songs
of America because we do not teach them to
our children. Our Southern songs so rich in
harmony are not even recognized by many
Southerners when these songs are heard. Miss
Jennie Bell Smith, the very efficient director OF
Public School Music, of the University Sum-
mer School, stated one morning during chapel
exercises that she had been teaching in the
South for six years. and in that length OF time
she had never seen an audience that could
really sing two verses of Dixie" But dare
say most audiences could have sung six verses
OF 1T Amt Coin to Rain No Mo-" when it was
such a favorite with the masses, and probably
have invented another verse or two for luck.

The Profession of Cooking

All people agree that I, Ing IS an
art. If it is, then expert cooks may
be classed as artists. This places
some of the more eminent ones in a
professional class, and there is a
growing movement for these persons
to seek personal recognition. The
latest indication is the privilege
sought from employers to sign the
cooks name to the menus for which
he is responsible. There is no objec-
ton being raised to this custom but
the warning is given that this re-
assumed by the cook also
places him open to blame in case Of
indigestion caused the eater or other
that may be1expressed
regarding the meal.

SOUTH'S MILLS NOW
COMPETE WITH EAST
SEVERAL. NEW ENGLAND MILLS
ARE FORCED TO LlQUIDATE-
OTHERS DECIDE TO MOVE TO
DIXIE.

Atlanta, Ga.-Eastern industry
that has not yet learned that the
South is destined to become the great
industrial center of America is learn
ing that business in some lines has
become unpopular in the east, it was
pointed out here today by Atlanta
manufacturers.
The South which for years fur
nished the raw cotton for the great
cotton mills Of New England is now
competing with New England in the
manufacture of cotton goods to such
an extent, it was asserted, that some
of the New England mills are liqui-
dating preparatory to retiring from
business, while others are coming
South.
Just recently the Lawrence Manu-
featuring company of Lowell, Mass,
announced that it's directors had
voted to liquidate, because the bust
ness could not compete successfully
with Southern mills. Last year a
large cotton mill at New Bedford,
Mass, was dismantled and shipped to
! Tennessee to be placed in operation
| there.
Two reasons are assigned for why
| the mills in the East cannot compete
with Southern mills, it was stated
here. First is the proximity of the
cotton in the South and second, the
difference in the type of labor. In
the East foreign labor is in the ma
| jority while in the South there is very
little foreign labor.
Industrialists are fast learning
| that the South offers almost ideal eli
mate and labor, and has available the
raw materials needed and the poten-
tial water power which is essential to
cheaper operating costs. Develop
ment of Muscle Shoals by the allied
power companies, which seems to be
generally favored here and in many
sections of the South, viii mean tre-

SOUTH Is BOOMING
DESPITE HOT TERM
PROGRESS OF BUSINESS AND
INDUSTRY is RAPID AND
PROSPERITY is MORE APPAR-
EMIT THAN EVER BEFORE.

Atlanta, Ga.-Georgia and the
South is financially more sound, her
future brighter and her prosperity
more apparent than ever before in
their history, in the opinion of BUSH
ness leaders here who today were
asked for their views.
That satisfactory progress is being
made during the early summer by
business and industry in the Sixth
Federal Reserve district is shown in
the monthly business review of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
Hon. M. B. Wellborn. governor of the
bank. also gives out 3 personal inter-
view in which he shows the abundant
reasons for confidence and optimism.
Construction records are said to be
far ahead of this date last year in
many sections of the South and indi-
cations are that there will be more
building this year than last by at
least one third. The public utilities,
notably the Georgia Railway and
Power Company of Atlanta, are au-
thorizing expenditures for expan-
sions, new equipment and increased
service facilities, the like of which
has not been recorded before in q
like period of time in any other state
of the union. The probable develop.
ment of Muscle Shoals by the allied
power companies, in the event con.
gress eventually accepts their bid, is
expected to be one of the largest and
most extensive of its kind ever seen
in the South.
The vast expenditures of the rail.

plain tree, spreading by the roadside
in Persia, so impressed the king with
it's beauty, that he paused on his
journey to bedeck it's boughs with the
royal jewels.
Still more deserving is the. tribute
which the Georgia apple tree has been
paid by the apple-growing counties of
the state. At Cornelia they have
reared a gigantic throne for this
monarch of fruits. Occupying the
throne is the perfect likeness of an
apple, formed of concrete, seven feet
high and twenty-five feet around,
glowing as if in natures own colors.
Somewhat removed from this ap-
pie section is another portion of
Georgia which is attracting unusual
attention as an apple center. This is
in HARRISON and Polk counties on
Treat mountain, which is owned by
the Porter Brothers Farm Corpora
ton. Hills stretching as far as the
eye can see are crowned with apples
which give promise of an abundant
harvest in the fall. The orchards
embrace thousands of acres with APP
Piles of practically every variety. Re-
Gently the owners added peach or
chard of more than 10000 trees.
From Esom Hill, Ga, the shipping
point, will come many carloads of
Treat Mountain apples next season,
it is stated. The Treat Mountain
growers will have an exhibit at the
Southeastern fair in Atlanta in De-
tober.
