FUNDS FOR AGRICULTURAL COL.
LEGES.

Disquieting reports as to the diff
Guilty of getting funds for the district
agricultural colleges are coming from
the seat of the mighty To those
counties and cities which have ex-
pended large sums in building these
colleges, as has Americas and Sum
ter, any failure to provide the schools
with funds to run on will be in the
nature of great disappointment. 1t
would in fact be breach of faith. if
not of contract on the part of the
state
1t is the duty of the legislature to
provide for these schools the coming
year, especially those in the various
districts. Much sacrifice has been
made to get these schools, and the
state could not now afford to fail. The
contract is in equity that these
schools shall be maintained.
Fertilizer tags have been sold this
season, and this fund is for the use
of the schools. Any attempt to divert
it should be promptly headed off,
even to the extent of retrenching on
previous appropriations.
The Atlanta Constitution says on
the subject:
Of all the problems that face the
present session of the legislature and
DANGEROUSLY appeal for solution, one
OF the greatest and most vital affects
the future of agricultural education
in Georgia
The eleven district agricultural
schools and the State College of Ag-
riculture have reached a calamitous
crisis thus early in their career of
usefulness.
The state finds itself with no mon
ey in the treasury to provide for their
maintenance.
In each of the eleven congressional
districts model school buildings with
spacious grounds have been erected
| to give valuable instruction of i'm
mediate use to thousands of Geor-
gians.
That these schools are needed is
attested by the keen rivalry which
marked the contests in which they
were the prize. The successful coun-
ties made donations averaging from
$4,000 to 100000 to secure the
schools for their communities.
When these offers were made by
individual counties to provide for the
erection of the buildings and to Sc
cure needed grounds, it was, of
course, understood that the state
would contribute to the maintenance
and support of these schools
Now comes the astounding report
that the state is not prepared at the
present time to carry out its contract
Decentralization has seized the dis
trict school boards. Many of them
are making no further efforts to Sc
cure scholars. The teachers who
have been employed are in a quandry.
The trustees do not see where the
money is coming from TO pay the
teachers. Unless something is done
to improve the outlook, the teachers
will prepare to depart for other and
more promising fields.

Fears UnfOunded
columbus LEDGER

Those who had an idea, if there are
any such, that the state convention
would reverse the position of the
democrats of the state on the prohibit
ton question were very much mis-
taken. Atlanta dispatches of yester-
day afternoon stated that the state
convention unanimously endorsed it
1t was stated that this plank went
through as if creased.
This is very gratifying to the pro-
hibitiOnists IF the state, some oil
whom had been more or less appre-
hensiye that prohibition might not be
given a fair test in the state It. is
quite likely that a majority of the IL
quOr men would prefer that it be
given a fair test We take it that the
majority of those who are not prohi-
bitionists are as patriotic as other
citizens and that they do not desire
to see any condition exist in the state
that would be hurtful to its inter
ests. If prohibition shall prove to be
a good thing their patriotism will
cause them to endorse it, and if il
doesn't prove to be a good thing the
law will be repealed sooner or later
The action of the convention gives
assurance to the people of the state
that the prohibition law will be Civ
en- a fair trial.
