NAME BOOKS AND RULES
FOR USE IN SCHOOLS
Principals of Colleges In
Session.
ADOPT BOOKS AND MAKE RULES
However, Action of the Principals is
not Final and Will Be Submit
ted to District Trustees
For Ratification.

Supt. j. NJ. Collum of the Third Dis
trict Agricultural College at Americus,
has returned from Atlanta where he at
tended this week a meeting of all the
principals of the eleven State Agricul-
tural colleges, at which they discussed
the curriculum to be adopted, the pro-
posed text books, rules and regulations
for the government of the schools, and
prepared lists of the supplies and
equipment which they will need for
the proper conduct of, the schools when
they open in the fall.
These lists ofsupplies will be turned
over to the purche sing committe, which
will advertise for bids in bulk, and
distribute the supplies in accordance
with the demand for them.
1t is stated the agricultural schools
will not follow closely the text books
used in the common schools of the
state, but will rather use books deal
ing more specifically with agricultural
topics. The action of the principals at
this meeting was not final, as each of
them will have to submit it to his board
of trustees.
There is little doubt that the trustees
will approve what was done at the At
lanta meeting.

is ADOPTED IN COMMITTEE
tiardeman Drought Bill Passed UnanimOusy---EaTIy
Vote Expected,

Atlanta, July 11.-By unanimous
vote the joint temperance committee
of House and Senate has adopted the
Hardman state prohibition bill, and
the Senate in session tomorrow will
pass the measure. 1t will go to the
House next week.
And there the bill will be railroaded
through with the same celerity.
OF this there seems to be little doubt
in the minds of those who are advised
regarding the situation. An early vote
in the House is certain-and just as
certain will the dry bill go through.
Then it will be up to Gov. Smith to
sign the bill. And he will do it, al
though opposed to state prohibition.
Several delegations of citizens APP
peared before the jointtemperance COM
mittee in opposition to the state meas
ure, but little attention was given
them. The committee was all one way.

The ordinary's convention held re-
Gently at Indian Springs, recommended

Georgia Code in regard to lunacy
trials. In amending the section Capt.
Cobb says the words ''Lunatic Asy-
lum, was changed to estate Sanitar-
ium" to conform with the change
made by the legislature several years
ago. The most impol tant change now
asked, Captain Cobb thinks, is to al

which works very harshly in great
many cases. sometimes death resulting

ment. In some cases it causes con-
finement of patients in county jalls
Demented people are not criminals and
