--as greatly enlarged. Mr. Davis, in his "wise, noble, and kindly" words, assures the profession that "Often in the history of the world has force overcome, but has never acquired dominion over intelligence." The brute north will not find it an easy matter to "acquire dominion" by establishing aid societies, and by forcing educational grants upon the southern intelligence to the great discredit of the profession. Prof. Derry in his paper on history seems to strike right at the root of the whole matter. He says, "In teaching it [history of our country], let us be careful that no injustice be done to our own section." Ignoring or slightly noticing the memorable facts of our section and states is the great fault of history written by northern men." Here is the great trouble. The northern men fail to tell all memorable facts in regard to southern education. How greatly it would help the profession of Georgia, if northern men would give the educational facts as compiled in the 10th census, e. g., in South Carolina, only 44.6 per cent of the entire population over ten years of age can write. In Alabama only 49 per cent. can write while in the great state of Georgia 50 per cent wield the pen with professional accuracy. The one-sidedness of northern historians is truly astonishing! But I will not continue the discusston. As Prof. Derry suggests, there is something about this matter "peculiarly painful." We are only too glad to call attention to the elaborate report of the excursion to Tybee bell buoy on which occasion the profession forgot their troubles, while "dancing and merriment, together with the exhilarating breezes of the Atlantic, and the stimulating influence of the collation, supplied by the committee of arrangements combined to render the occasion an enjoyable episode."

Entered at the post office at Lawrence, Kausas,
us second class matter.
We have before us a report of the proceedings of the Twentieth Annual meeting of the Georgia Teachers' Association. Coming asit does from such a worthy and intelligent assembly, the report should, and no doubt, does reflect the most elevated educational thought of the state.
The prominent object of the association, as announced by the secretary, Mr. Thigpen, is to secure "strong legislative enactment, whereby worthy men and women, as in every other profession, may have protection." He says, "In the past, the profession has been honored in other lands. Why is it not so now and here?"
We would suggest to the much puzzled secretary, a careful perusal of the pages of the report contained in the same pamphlet. It may throw some light on this question. On page 8, we find the announcement "that Ex-President Davis, the illustrious chief of the late confederate states, would be present at the reception of his Excellency the Governor of Georgia, Henry D. McDaniel." Now Mr. Secretary, you must admit that this announcement, although very proper in itself, is poorly worded. It throws discredit upon the profession. Why need the speaker remind the intelligent Georgia Teachers' Association that Mr. Davis is illustrious? There certainly is not a person in the profession who does not know that Mr. Davis stands illustrious and unique as the only male sovereign since the Emperor Heliogabalus that has ruled in women's clothing. For sixteen hundred and forty-seven years, the world looked for such a man in vain!
On page 9, we see another mistake. It shows a peculiar lack of information on the part of the profession. In speaking of the address by Mr. Jefferson Davis, the reporter says: "When the aged president's form grew erect he was welcomed with round after round of applause." Here you see, Mr. Secretary, that the profession gives itself away. Mr. Cleveland is the president, and he is not a very "aged" man either. We fear, Mr. Secretary, that the profession in Georgia is not very well posted on current politics.
But on turning the pages, our hope for the profession in Georgia
A Jolly Time.
Last Saturday evening, after the regular fraternity meetings of the Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta, the boys of these fraternities met in the halls of Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Psi in the Opera House block to celebrate in a fitting manner the closing of the year. The principal point of the meeting was at the Beta Hall, where was the abundance of refreshments, consisting of nuts and candy furnished by the Phi Gamms, fruits furnished by the Phi Psi's, cigars furnished by the Phi Delts and cider furnished by the Betas. A gigantic tin horn capable of creating a deafening noise was at hand, to assist in the swelling of the din which arose from the throats of the sixty-five boys who were present. Quite a number of the gentlemen assumed the part of ladies, and wore costumes in accordance with the part which they represented. All the latest styles of feminine apparel could be seen, and many indeed were the compliments showered upon the coy young creatures. One of the most beautiful of the assembled belles, was everywhere accompanied by a page, who faithfully carried the train of her rich silken dress.
Near ten o'clock, when the merry making was at its highest, and when
the roof of the building was rising and falling, in its endeavor to accommodate itself to the noise, an unexpected guest in the person of Marshal Prentice, arrived on the scene. He stated that Adelaide Moore was playing "As You Like It," in the Opera House, and that the noise by the frats was so great that nothing could be heard by the audience. He sated that in the most affecting part of the play, just as the audience was about to burst into tears, that "that horn went ka-bloo, ka-bloo, ka-bloo," and knocked the sentiment higher than a kite. He stated that he had been sent to request less noise. The boys were accepting the request kindly, and no doubt would have acceded to it, had he not supplemented his request by beginning to brag and blow as to what he would do if he was not obeyed. This the boys could not stand, and a few of the younger ones began to cry "rats," "speech by Prentice," etc. This enraged the "Terror of the West" to a great degree. He did not deem it respect due to his exalted position, and although terrorized almost to death, yet assisted by his supe, he grasped one of the ladies, (?) probably one of the most unoffending of the whole lot of boys. The students at the same moment grasped the same boy, and then it was pull students, pull Terrorized. It was a battle for the student, and now in the hall, in the corridor, half way down the steps, back again in the corridor, in the hall again, the battle raged fiercely. Every student engaged kept his temper, none were afraid, and the only one in any manner suffering from the tussle, was the student whom they were attempting to arrest, he having his feminine costume torn completely off of him, and being almost torn to pieces, himself. On promise of the Terrorized that the prisoner would only be taken to the foot of the stairs where the affair could be explained, he was given up by the students. He was taken to the Journal office, where, after an explanation, he was unconditionally set free.
After this episode, the fun raged higher than ever before. Songs concerning Prentice were composed and sung, takeoffs on the University Profs. were performed, speeches were made by representatives from each fraternity, the great "bear act" was enacted, and every student assembled assisted in making things lively. Just before Sunday morning, the meeting broke up.
It was a representative crowd of University boys, and it was an assemblage of which we may well feel proud. The fact that the members of the four fraternities of the University whose interests clash together so frequently, meet in such friendly relationship; the fact that not a dollar's worth of damage was done to any property; the fact that no unlawful resistance was shown to the marshal; and the fact that at four minutes before the hour which ushered in the Sunday morning, the signal for departure was given, shows the manliness and common sense which is so largely bestowed by nature upon the boys of K. S. U.
