Scharf Bill.

! The CITY council declined to grant the
petition of the Warren-Scharf Asphalt
Company at its meeting yesterday after
/ noon, for the acceptance of the Oglethorpe
/ avenue pavement and payment for the
( same.
The committee Of the whole reported un-
] favorably TO the petition Of the company,
and the report was adopted without dis
/ cussion.
Mayor Aeldrim brought up the question
1 Of increasing the water supply and the
method proposed by the expert for ac-
compIshing this. The situation was such
that it was imperative that something
be done. The question was from what
source the funds for this work should
be drawn. There was an appropriation
Of $4,000 for house drainage, he said, and
as house drainage was impossible with
out plentiful supply of water, he sug-
gested that this appropriation be drawn
upon.
Alderman Hamilton said the $500 ap-
preparation 10 public property might be
used.
The matter was referred to the Joint
committee Of finance and water to report
To a special meeting Of council, to be
called as soon as the committee is ready
to report.
a communication was received from
Health Officer LeHardy inclosing a reso-
luton relative TO drainage near the city,
which was forwarded TO the county COM
missioners and the reply OF that body.
The resolution and the commissions re
ply were read. Both papers have already
been published. The communications were

the city be excused from duty for two

city exchange came to work a 8 clock

was combated by Alderman owens, who
said that he found the employees of the
several departments of the city exchange
at work all day and sometimes at night.
Alderman Owens inquired of Alderman

employees two hours at dinner The mo-
ton was tabled.

board railroad trains at any point within
the city limits with the exception Of those

THE SCORE or THE SEASON.
Lieut. r. c. Wilson Makes Record
That Has Not Been Beaten.

h@AA mas NUA D&tn btMAGns
The biggest military target score of the
season has been made by Lieut.. f. c..
Wilson Of Company c.. of the Savannah
Volunteer Guards. The military score is
made on the 2OO.. 300, 500 and 6OO-yard
ranges, and the sldrmish field, the high
est possible score being 175, which il is
practically impossible to attain. The mil
itary men, who seek to qualify as sharp
shooters or marksmen. shoot for records
every season.
Up TO the present season Lieut.. Z. C.
Wilson held the highest score made in
Georgia, or for that matter in the south
l55 made at Camp Northen a year ago
A few days ago Private Philpot OF the
Savannah Cadets made the excellent score
of li9, which was ahead of all other rec
ords made this season. and it stood a
chance of remaining the best until Lieut.
Wilson went out to shoot for his season 8
record, and made the extraordinary score
of l55, beating his former record by one
point. So far as is known this record
has not been beaten anywhere In the
country at least not within recent years.
The remarkable fact Of such a score hav-
ing been made is readily understood. when
IL is known that only 120 points are re-
quired TO qualify a rifieman as a sharp-
shooter.

can teacher prepare herself for her work.
However, we believe that salaries will grad.
ually take an upward move, and this will
mean better prepared teachers and more ex-
cellent schools. In the meantime, let all
teachers work to make the above possible
in the near future.
Teacher" has sent his article too late to
do any good for the present AS House Bill 81
has been unfavorably reported by the Com
mittee on Education. The committee consid.
cred the plan as provided in the bill i'm
practicable. We are glad, however, to have
the opinion of knight of the Round
Table, even at this late hour.
A bill has been introduced into the House
of Representative which is intended to help
advanced pupils in rural districts obtai in
addition instruction without a..dircet charge
for tuition. The bill provides that after a
pupil has reached certain proficiency he
may enter the academic department of a
town school provided there is room for
him. How best to give further instruction
to advanced pupils in the country school
has for some time occupied the attention of
the educators of the State. At the present
time some of these pupils after leaving
their own schools, enter town schools, their
parents paying for their tuition. Others
who cannot afford to do this are compelled
to stop going to school or to continue going
to a schoolwhere the the teacher is already
crowded for time. In the latter case harm
results from the fact that time must be
taken from the lower grades where it is
needed most in order to instruct the higher,
in which there may be but one pupil. As
many pupils leave the school about the age
of twelve or thirteen, it is necessary for
these to get as much instruction as possible
from the time they enter school, nor is it
right that parents under free school sys-
tenn should pay directly for the instruction
of their children. Yet the town schools
cannot be compelled to take such pupils
free Of charge, for the tax rate in the towns
is nsnally much higher than that in the
country. The present bill proposes to pay
to the tire asurer Of the town school board
twenty-five dollars for every pupil who
comes to the school from another district'
If this bill becomes law it will do much
to better our schools. TEACHER"

rAsTER.

Nature is awakening from her long
winters night. She has broken the
icy locks that bound her and shaken of
the grave clothes that enshrouded her
in darkness and gloom. She brings the
first Easter message, and tells the re-
surrection story in natures own Ian
guage, known to all tongues. the voice
of spring. The fields are green and
beautiful; flowers everywhere filling the
air with their fragrance, and the birds,
whose sweet notes are never out OF
tune, are singing Easter Anthems
taught them by God himself. That
soul must be dead indeed that is not
stirred as it hears the robin sing, the
red spot on his breast telling OF the
Cruciied Christ, his glad triumphant
song telling the world of ga Risen
Lord" It is a beautiful legend that
tells how when the worlds Re
deemer hung upon the cross, a little
bird hovered about his head and
plucked one thorn from the brow SO
c.uelly piel cad by man. The blood flowing
from the wound, dyed the robins breast
and wherever Robin-Red.breast is
known, the story is told of the cruci-
fed Christ.
Ttisa clad Easter to the soul that
knows its Risen Lord, and to find the
Christ life within, the hidden, in
exhauatible: source of Life, Love and
Truth, is the gladdest Of Easter gifts.
