Helping Girls Through College.
Famous scholars, we are told, have
sold the coats from their backs to buy
books. Jst such a thirst for educa
tion possesses scores and hundreds of
girls who leave our common schools
each year, but who, for the lack of
money, are unable to continue their
training at a college. Gifted and am
bitious, they would profit immeasura
bly from a four-year course at some
high institution of learning and would
come forth to bless and brighten their
community. Their parents are like
wire eager to give them wider oppor
tunities, yet because of financial cir
cumstances their wish is never realiz
ed. To provide practical means fo meet
ing such situations, Brenau college at
Gainsville has begun a movement to
raise a loan fund of fifty thousand dol
lars, the interest of which wtll be used
in aiding young women to complete
their education. This is a timely and
constructive cause that should appeal
to the people of Georgia and the entire
south.
Brenau college is known far and
wide as a school that is earnestly de
voted to human and social service. Its
purpose has ever been to equip its stu
dents for life, and to strengthen and
illumine the interests of the home.
It stands eminently for service
through culture.
It this effort, therefore, to extend its
opportunities to worthy girls without
means of their own, the college is
earning out its ideals and those of
every other deserving institution in a
definite and practical manner. The
establishment erf this loan fund will
mean a vast deal to the cause of edu
cation generally, and to the good of
the state. The beginning of the move
ment is heartening. It is understoood
that in Gainsville a subscription of ten
thousand dollars is assured if the re
mainder of the fund is contributed.
To anyone who is willing and able
to give to the cause of education, ahis
movement offers a rich opportunity.
I c is to be hoped that the entire fund
will be speedily forthcoming. Atlan

A New Bread for the Army.
Field bread, so-called, because it
will be issued to soldiers in the field
wh ensoft bread cannot be served, has
been adopted by the army a sa sub
stitute for hard tack. This bread is
cooked in 'the field ovens and can be
transported much easier than ordi
nary fresh . bread. It will materially
reduce the cost of the maintenance of
a narmy in the field, is declared to be
more palatable than hard bread, and,
most important of all, it will material
ly promote the health of the troops.
This bread is described as a type of
fresh bread with thick crust, which is
made as soft and pliable as possible,
but strong enough to protect it in the
rough handling it receives in trans
portation in wagons and railroad cars.
It should retin its freshness and pal
atability from seven to 15 days, do
pendent entirely upon its preparation.

Why Not Concentrate on Farms?
Discussing the high cost of living
and the present commercial outlook
James J. Hill, '.'empire builder of the
northwest," declared that one factor
was found in the fact that whereas a
few years ago the man on the farm
supported himself and one man In the
city, now he was called upon to feed
two men in the cities and fell a little
short of doing it.
While the parallel may be a trifle
overdrawn it has sufficient truth to
give additional emphasis to the "back
to the land" movement- It iB true that
for the past decade an da half, partic
ularlyfi in the east and noth, the trend
has been steadily toward the develop
ment of industry at the expense of ag
ricutlure .
The gaze of the nations has been on
its cities. Each one of the cities in
turn has plumed itself on the showing
to be made in the census, with the fu
rore far expension and annexation
ruling the program and the foreign
visitor asked to admire the rate at
which American municipalities attain
proportions .
Why not turn some of this mental
and physical energy to the country?
Why not let cities, state and nation
begin to exercise in the development
of the rural districts a degree of in
terest commensurate to that taken in
the spreading of city boundary lines,
and the up-piling of urban poulation?
Good roads, ruraf free delivery, the
telephone, the trolley and prospective
parcels post make the country a good
place to live in, level mna yof the
handicaps against which it formerly
struggled as against the city. With
the passage of time these agencies will
increase in influence, turning a great
er vclume of population to the rural
districts and bringing more comforts
and luxuries in their train.
But the process could be accelerat
ed if every man now boosting for a
present or putative metropolis gave a
portion of his proselying ability to
rousing interests in the country, to
preaching the advantages of life in the
country and the inducements of agri
culture as a producer of steady in
come and robust health.
By and large, we have become a na
tion obsessed with a number of and
size in cities. We are forgetting that
the backbone of the city is the "hin
terland," if that term may be thus ap
plied, of broad producing acres that
feed urban millions and provide raw
material for manufactures..
It is time to re-apportion cur enthu
siasms,, and especially for the state
and federal government to concentrate
their forces to the end of bringing the
farm into the limeMght equally with
the city. We shall be called upon to
deal with the problem of the high cost
of ilving and of glut in city population,
until we take effective cognizance of
this fundamental principle. Atlanta

Don't Cook Three Hot Meals a Day.
We are also opposed to cooking
three hot meals a day. One is enough
and two the greatest plenty. Ud
North they have baking days, and not
more than two or three a week. The
rest of the time they eat cold bread.
It is much the healthier, and all this
hot bread business is simply a matter
or habit. Mothers, begin to train your
children to be less exacting in tihs
matter of hot food, and vou will de
them a great favoj? in point of health,
ana aiso ao a great service to your
son'e wives and to humanity general
ly, in the next generation. We South
erners eat too much and eat it too hot,
and have too much of the frying-pan
product for the good1 of our health.
