GLENN ISSUES
REPORT FOR
YEAR
THE ADVANCE SHEETS GIVEN
OUT YESTERDAY = SOME IN
TERESTING STATEMENTS
ARE MADE.

State School Commissioner G.. r. Glenn
has issued advance sheets of his annual
report which is to be made to the general
assembly in October The report is one of
the strongest ever issued by the commits
sioner and it deals fully with all ques-
tions of education.
Commissioner Glenn discusses local tax
alton and urges 1t strongly upon the peo-
pie. He deals at length against the adop-
ton of such methods in Georgia. He
urges better pay for the teachers Of Geor-
gia, contending that they do not get
enough money for the services which they
render; he commends the summer schools
for teachers and recommends that the
University Of Georgia should begin such
movement.
Regarding the consolidation OF schools
Mr.. Glenn again makes a strong plea, say
ing that the schools should be centralized
instead of being so widely scattered. This
he believes is the best thing for the coun-
try districts. He believes that where the
schools are consolidated the children
should be transported to the schools at the
expense of the county or the state.
Mr.. Glenn gives an interesting table of
figures showing what the various states
have spent during the past year for the
education of its children or showing, rath-
err, what the education of a single child
costs. The following is the table:

TELEPHONES ON FARMS.
Social ana business Life of Rural Come
munIties Changing.

The telephone is transforming the
social and business life of many rur6l
communities of the United States. In
no other branch of activity is the spirit
Of expansion more manifest. Country
folks like the instrument because it
brings them into novel relationship
with the rest OF the world. City peO-
pie who make periodical visits into the
country are sorry to see the lnnoya-
ton. because it takes away something
of the charm of isolation when they
have grown weary of the rush and
fever Of urban life. In some country
communities the dream of Edward Bel
lamy is being partially realized. People
sit in their homes, miles from any
church, and listen to the sermon OF
their pastor over the wire. The most
elaborate systems of country telephone
connection are found in the thickly
populated Eastern states. Where the
houses are close together the cost OF
establishing and maintaining u system
Is proportionately cheaper for the COM
panies establishing them, hence they
first seek out such places to do bust
ness. Massachusetts is, perhaps the
best field for profitable investment In
this line. In that state, especially in
communities where the rural popula-
ton Is mostly well-to-do, the use of
the telephone by farmers is becoming
well nigh universal. IN the more
sparsely inhabited western states the
telephone people have rarely ventured
beyond the wayside villages in the in
PRODUCTION of the phone. That is es-
pecially true of the central and south
ern divisions OF Illinois, but IL is pre-
dicted by observant men that, before
the end OF another decade, the rich
farming communities of Illinois will
all be in full touch with the outside
world through the medium of the
telephone.-Chicago Record-Herald.
