BAKING POWDER.

inls Is done on acoonnt OF the varying con-
dlsons and climate of the state. The coun-
Ties in the southern portion of the state
mold during almost any portion OF the year,
out chiefly in the early months of the year
The mountain counties cannot hold their
schools during the winter and spring
months on account OF the incleme1t
weather. and usually hold them during the
summer. This makes the amounts due the
teachers In the various counties to fall due
at different periods.
A large part of the state school fund
properly falls due in the early part OF the
year, Capt BradweIl Gays, notably the
500 900 half rental OF the Western and
Atlantic railroad. By taking the amount
due the school fund from the treas
ury as iJ fall due and paving
those teachers who are engaged upon or
have completed their work quarterly, he
believes that the objection to the present
system would be largely done away. He
does not think the amounts falling due dur
ing the year would be sufficient TO paw the
teaoherS the entire amount due them at the
end or each quarter, but 1t could be pro-
rased and thu teachers paid accordingly.
Ihls would be q vast Improvement on the
present system, where the teachers wait un-
I'll the end of the year for the entire amount
due them.
GALATIANS TEACHERS EXCEPTED
This, 1t must be remembered, does not ap-
ply TO the teachers Of Chatham county, who
are paid monthly out of the fund oppro-
prlated by the county, Chatham's appro-
prlation from the state fund being simply
consolidated with the county approprls-
ton.
Capt. BradWsll is just from the opening
or the state normal college at Athens
Capt. Bradwell is very proud OF this insti-
tuition, as he may we'll be for it Is largely
due to his untiI ing efforts and good nan-
aGement that it has been brought into ex-
lstence. The state authorized its institution
without appropriating dollar Co its sup
port. The state university appropriated
to the college the building outside
or Athens known as the Rock college and
the annual interest of $1,000 from the Gil
mer fund.
The city of Athens appropriated $500 and
small amounts were secured from other
sources. 1t was first necessary to repair the
building and tnen to make preparations for
sleeping apartments for the teachers Dor
mitories were fitted up with the simplest DOS
sio!e arrangements sufficient to accommo-
date 100 teachers A restaurant was estab-
Ilshed where good meals are served TO the
teachers at So 80 a week, or about 1915 cents
meal, The teachers bring with them their
blankets, towels and other necessary articles.
GOOD OPENING
The college opened up last week with 227
teachers present. The teachers institute
for North Georgia was opened there at the
same time, however The professors of the
state university are giving their services
free. With such a showing as this and
such manifest determination upon the part
OF all to make the normal college q success,
Capt. Bradwell says the state will DO forced
to make al appropriation for next year.
The teachers are sort of camping out
there now" said Capt. Bradwell, "but they
all seem to enjoy it
On account of the heavy rains throughout
the country and the fact that many Of the
country schools have not yet closed up their
years work, the attendance of teachers at
the opening of the institute this morning
is not expected to be large, but it will
probably increase as the institute pro-
crosses.
Capt. Bradwell will leave tonight for
Atlanta. Monday he will open toe Pea
body institute for the teachers of Southwest
Georgia at Americus.
