Atlanta. Oa.. Ill* Atlaata Truat^glldta*SATURDAY. MARCH 26, tosi. '

American Ckvckmu.HIS Eminence, James Gibbons was a cardinal

of the £hurch of Rome. Spiritually, intellectually,in consecration and in scholarship,he was all that this title and rank implies.Because he was the immediate representative of thePope in America, and because of a saintly nature,he bad the devoted allegiance of all Roman Catholicsin America. /

But to other Americans his memory will be heldwith little less affection, and in the highest regardbecause of his unyielding Americanism of the besttype. What was good for this country always hadhis staunch support. He was not merely a churchman;he was an American citizeri with a full senseof his joint responsibilities.

On many critical occasions, his council wassought »rd was never refused. He was always Jready to do his part for his country. It was hiscountry first, and he Vnew no other. He kept thatexact balance, that serenity, that poise which madehis influence an almost personal relation out of thechurch as well as in it

During the great war, he was a tower ofatrength to this government His influence was feltnot alone in every State, but in every community.He placed his country first. Nothing ever changedhim from that attitude. His judgment in all matters,as in this, was ruled onty by justice and righteousness,and Protestants, no less than RomanCatholics will mourn his loss.

Born in Baltimore, that was the city' of hisresidence for all but the early years of his youth.He entered the church of his own choice. He consecratedhimself, and, excelling as a student, seriousin his duties, impressive in his personality, his risein th^ priesthood was rapid, but by strict progresaion.

In 1886, when but 52 years old, he was madecardinal. For many years he was the only Americanmember of the Sacred College. It was an officeof onerous duties and one which in this country requiredthe highest qualities of tact and judgment.The Catholic Church of America owes him an unendingobligation for its present place. Protestantsowe him an almost equal obligation for his nationalismwhich was able to meet his religious obligationswith no sacrifice of those to his government.

Great Britain, Cermany, Italy and Japanwill now engage in a great economic war overthe division of the last Russian calf.

Unirersity Administrator.

WHEN James B. j\ngell retired from the presi- jdency of Michigan University, the regents

elected a lawyer as his successor. This man hesitatedto accept because he was not an educator.The answer was that that was just the reason of hischoice; the university as a great business institutionneeded an administrator; it could more easily findeducators.

The authorities of the University of Pennsylvaniaseem to have much the same judgment inelecting Gen. Leonard Wood, president. But theyadd to Michigan's experiment, which proved a success,retaining as provost the man who has longheld that position. It is to be presumed that thetwo functions of administrator, and of educationaldirector will be divided between them.

,

If this works it will be a precedent to be followed.If it does not prove a success, it will besomething learned to be avoided. That Gen. Woodwill be a success is assumed. He is not only a

great administrator, but just the man to inspire a

student body. He has that human understandingwhich makes all kin, and arouses a loyalty near todevotion.

He will not be like that college president whoresigned because there was not an auditorium largeenough to seat all the pupils so he would meet andtalk to them. Gen. Wood is the other sort, whosepersonality is not confined to four walls with a

roof, nor has to be expresed#m words. He doesot have to express it in rounded periods, nor in

scholastic phrases. It expresses itself and is itsown distributer. *

Moreover, if anyone can wAli in harness withan educator, he can. But there will be those whowill have their doubts. Such will be interested towatch results and will wonder if special and technicaltraining is necessary to direct the educationalfunctions of a university, any more than a presidentof a -great corporation has to be trained in all theincluded specialties.

Secretary Tumulty passed to SecretaryWilson the active end of the InternationalBoundary wire without telling him Mt was notinsulated.

A Fairy Tale?ALADDIN and his lamp have come back from

fairyland, or from that land of even moreextreme romance. The imagination of the ladywho told the thousand and one tales had nothingmore fascinating in improbabilities <than what nowcomes from Russia via the land that once claimedso much embalmed in mythology.

It is said that seven tons of gold.tons, not hundredweight.shippedfrom Russia, have* been minted{ Sweden with the Swedish stamp and are now on

shipboard on ,the way to the United States. ButMM it not all. The same tale fays that ninetymore tons of Russian gold are in Sweden beingminted and will follow this first shipment.

Susiia 'regard# this gold as safer on this side'

/K .A

of the Atlantic. It comes.her* as of Swedish originand our courts are not expected to go behindthe returns. It could be transferred here intoAmerican exchange and Med anywhere. But h(bare (yesence is expected to reverse our nationalpolicy as to Russia. Which might be. If the UnitedStates could once stick its fingers into the goldpieces. . y

>7If this tale is true; if Russia still has this gold*

it but shows the enormous voliime of private storesof this metal held in all great countries. Russia hasn't been reluctant in her speeding unier Sovietrule. Her wealth has poured out in wr.rs, the supportof armies and in world-wide propaganda. Shehas been quite the most profligate of nations. '

Nor can this near too tons of just gold, representall of her icserve wefetth confiscated by theSovift high priests of robbery. Just now Italy hastaken from one of their agents in Rome stores ofjewels and other valuables of enormous worth. Likeloot from the Czars' treasures, and those of granddukes, and the other nobility, have been reported atintervals as being in other lands.

Nor is there reason to doubt that Lenin*, andTrotsky have failed to care for their own futureshould they be lucky enough to live to enjoy itBut ,t is as well to .wait until the ships dock and thegold is counted. Until then the birds are still inflight.

(The older members of the Supreme Courthave thoughtfully decided not to add to/ PresidentHarding's burdens that of naming theirsuccessors.

Greece Answers London.

THE Greek answer to the London conferenceand the revision of the treaty of Sevres is an

advance of its Asia Minor army. Greece has deededto carry the war to Turkey and makes thefinal appeal to the sword. She will undertake todemonstrate that her claim at London, that shecould defeat Turkey and end its power, was not anidle boast. '

The French generals in command of therench troops in Cilicia, smiled at this claim. They^ -j

"p",ence wi«h «he Turk fighting qualitiesand. said Greece reckoned without her host. It wasa show-me' attitude of complacent incredulity, influencedperhaps by the requirements of Frenchdiplomacy. In all events Greece is undertaking thedemonstration.

,kThe .Grfek army has two fron*S- Apparently

the north front extends from ^russa at MountOlympus, south of the eastern end of the Sea ofMamora, to the mountains forming the northboundary of Smyrna. The southern front, with itsleft flank resting on these mountains seems to centeron Ushak, which is almost in a line, north andsouth, with Brussa.

The reported advance of twenty miles is fromthis line and it brings the Greeks within strikingdistance of the railroad which runs south and eastfrom the Sea and Constantinople to Aleppo, whereit connects with the Bagdad route. If the Greekscan gain control of this road, which is undoubtedlytheir objective, they can afford to rest there andwait developments.

It is highly improbable they will undertake anexcursion to Angora, the Nationalist Turk capital, !The railroad is but half way from the coast to thatcity. To undertake to penetrate so far would bebut folly, such as an advance on Moscow. I/ theGreeks can hold the provinces of Smyrna andBrussa with control of the Constantinople-Alepporoad, they can afford to sit and wait.

The next move would then be for the supremecouncil. Because of the topography of the westernend of Asia Minor, once in possession of this line,it could be held by a comparatively small force.'Sa\e for a rather short distance, it is mountainousand difficult of attack. To sit and wait would not,therefore, be a heavy drain on Greek finances asthe army coAld be quickly re-enforced from thehomeland.

There will be much sympathy for Greece in theUnited States, regardless of King Constantine. AsVenizelos has said, Constantine is but an incident inGreek history, and though an unfortunate one, mdstAmericans will be apt to forgive him, if he is ableto do what no other European government seemsto dare to.dispose of the Turk.

It has now been five* long and wearymonths since James Hamilton Lewis hasbroken out in another spot.

Colleges vs. Colleges.A WRITER in the current Atlantic Monthly

asks: "What do college men know?"' Heproceeds to show that they are possessed mainly ofignorance and know mighty little that is worthwhile. Another writer says there are too manycolleges. Still another declares there are too few.

Probably they are, right. At least they allprove their theses to their own satisfaction. Yetthere still are colleges and colleges, just as thereare men and men, teachers and teachers, studentsand students. Quite as the old fellow said: "Theworld is full of folks and no two of them alike," soit is of colleges, college men, teachers and the >est.

But the main trouble which runs through allmodern education i« that in getting a\tay from thetoo great concentration of the'past, it has scattered.It has gone to the other extreme. In the years pastthe young on through their collega period, studiedbut few things. They had a limited choice. Fiftyyears ago a boy could be graduated when 18 and ,few finished their college course when beyond 20.

'

Then the subjects open to him wef? countedon the fingers of two hands. Now one subject isdivided into so many courses that the selection ismystifying, while the number of subjects is almostinfinite. The head of the English department of a

university went to his president saying he must havemore assistants as.it would be necessary to add morecourses, to specialize more exactly in order to competewith other universities.

He was asked how many courses he then hadand when he answered was told that instead ofmore, he would have less. Instead of ground work,excavation and foundation, colleges are buildingsuperstructures on false work. As a result, graduatesare very uncertain as'to just what they knowor as to jnst what they are fitted to do, save maybein some narfow groove.

This condition reacts upon the elementaryschools with a like diversity, which leads to smat-tering. There are too many subjects and subjectsare too much differentiated. The consequence jt anexcess of overhead cost with a minimum of actual,ajnuine educational result. Colleges would need farl«ss income and accomplish much more, if theyundertook far less.
