THE CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA. 0A TCESDAT, OCTOBER 24, 1911. BRENAU 'S LOAN FUND. Brenau College, at Gainesville, is the latest southern educational institution of importance to adopt the loan fund plan for helping ambitious and tfprtliy, but poor, pupils to secure a life equipment, At a recent meeting of the board of trustees President Pearoe out lined the need of such a feature, shewing that its absence rendered (the college almost powerless to respond to the appeals constantly 'cominti from asDirintr vouns? srirls so circumstanced as to compel to depend upon outside aid for a chance at higher education, The board unanimously voted to launch a campaign tor tne raising of a loan fund of principal to be held by the trustees in perpetuity and the interest to be 'loaned out.

to such applicants as come within the purview of the fund's purposes. It is reported that already $10,000 is at the disposal of the board, contingent upon other sums being raised outside Gainesville, and it is. proposed to prosecute a vigorous crusade throughout Georgia! until the principal of S50.000 shall have been completed. The people of Georgia, and of the southern states, could direct I their philanthropic instincts into no channel more constructive than by contributing to Brenau's loan fund. The reputation and facilities of the college require no enumeration.

The effort to extend their advantages to young women who must otherwise go I without the education lor which they are willing to make endless I sacrifices, should be liberally encouraged. What a loan fund has accomplished, and may accomplish, is eloquently indicated by the" history of the Joseph E. Brown loan fund of the University of Georgia. The principal, $50,000, the exact sum for which Brenau is asking, was made available in 1882 through the generosity of the late Governor Joseph E. Brown.

It was hedged with the same regulations to be applied to the Brenau fund. The principal was to be kept intact, and the interest was to be loaned at nominal rates to such deserving young men as could not provide their own expense for a college education. After the lapse of a little more than a quarter of a century the principal has grown, by steady accretions, from the original S50.000 to a sum "considerably in excess of $150,000 or an enhance mcnt of more than 300 per cent. It has been a point of honor with the beneficiaries to comply with the conditions under which they were extended aid. and failure to return the amounts borrowed I have been practically nil.

This. year, more than forty young men in the various departments of the university are' being educated by the fund. It is estimated that next year, the number of beneficiaries will be considerably in excess of fifty, the total rising each year, of course, as the amount at the disposal of the trustees gains volume with its own momentum. To the original beneficence and its wise administration, hundreds of men. some of them prominent and successful in the highest degree, owe the education that equipped them for their careers.

That is speaking in the past tense. What the fund will accomplish in the future it is difficult to estimate. Year by year, the number of young men to whom its aid can be extended, will gradually grow larger, as the fund itself increases, and the income from it attains new proportions. Eventually, the principal will reach into many times its present denomination, and its beneficiaries form a host correspondingly impressive. Using the Brown fund as an illustration it can.

then, be seen the infinite possibilities opened to similar adjuncts at Brenau and other colleges, which are rapidly making the loan fund a regular part of the. institution. Aside from bringing the advantages of education to men and uomen ta'ent and energy who must otherwise go without them, the loan tund preserves selt respect and places a prcnitum upon the highest qualities of manhood and womanhood. Its success at the University, and its general adoption by other institutions, offer con I elusive arguments with which Brenau will successfully ask the aid of liberal minded Georgians philanthropists generally, if an invest I mcnt in the development of human nature can be cailed phi lanthropy. MADERO'S HANDS FULL.

It will be a heritage of trouble that Francisco I. Madero will come into next month, when he assumes office as president of the republic of Mexico. From sporadic ebullitions, disaffection has grown throughout the country until now there arc five distinct, if small, uprisings, demanding the presence of government troops. The danger does not lie in the strength of the individual protests against present conditions, but in the fact that any one of them may afford a. rallying point for the dissatisfaction that is evidently gaining perceptible headway in Mexico.

The excitement of deporting Diaz has subsided. The novel experience of partici pating in a bona fide presidential election has become ancient history. Hundreds of thousands of ignorant people now have time to analyze the situation in the light of prejudice and, to them, of For there is no discounting the fact that a horde of the supporters df Madero and of the prevailing regime based their action upon a belief that, in some magical manner, their personal financial and industrial troubles would vanish with a change in administration. It is true that the change has not yet been formally inducted. and that even when it is months will be required for the most skillful hand to bring order out of chaos.

But education has not made strides of moment in Mexico, and it is difficult for a host of untutored natives to draw the distinctions that would be accepted as commonplace in our own country. Complicating the situation is the activity of the partisans of Bernardo Reyes, who aspired to defeat Madero and who was, before expelled from Mexico by Diaz, the darling of the army and of a large element of the masses. It need not be doubted that his party will use every device to encourage dissension. The progress thev make will necessarily depend upon their command of money and upon the vigor with which the provisional government, and then Madero, deal with the situation. Altogether, the prospect is not a particularly happy one for a man who has been described as a dreamer and a theorist, rather than as a captain of affairs.

It will not be pleasant to discharge the functions of president from the crater of a volcano. And it begins to appear that such will be the precarious tenure of Madero. THE APPOINTMENT OF WARNER HILL. Definite announcement is made that Governor Smith has appointed H. Warner Hill a member of the supreme court of Georgia, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Justice Horace M.

Holden. All the circumstances surrounding the appointment are such as will commend it to universal approval. In several high capacities, Warner Hill has rendered distinguished service to the state. He has made an enviable record as chairman of the railroad commission, has served several terms with distinction in the legislature and for many years has ranked as one of the foremost members of the Georgia bar. His illustrious grandfather, Hiram Warner, for whom he is named, rendered conspicuous serv ice as chief justice to the exalted tribunal to which, by an interesting coincidence, his name sake is now called.

As man of spotless integrity, of fine character and of striking legal attainments, he is admirably qualified to discharge with dignity and capacity the important duties to which he has been summoned. The Constitution congratulates both Governor Smith and Mr. Hill upon an appointment in such fitting accord with the traditions of the state's highest court.
