SUMNER SCHOOL IS TO
Be LARGELY ATTENDED
Record Attendance Has Been
Indicated Already

Atlanta, May 14.-Reports made &c
the office of the state board of edu-
cation at the capitol show that the
summer normal school for teachers at
Athens, will be more alrgely attended
this season than ever before.
There is special reason. When the
Legislature created new board OF
education and changed the state
school laws radically last year, o le
of the new provisions was that. all
public school teachers, whether IN
city or town or country must have
their license Heretofore many classes
of teachers in cities and towns have
been exempt. Now they must all
pass examinations for licenses. A
good many teachers will stand their
examinations this month, but great
many more will spend the summer
preparing and will take the examina
tions after their course at the sum
mer school.
The school opens July LIST and
closes August 3rd. Many teachers
have already been enrolled and many
others are coming. 1t will be held at
the University of Georgia, with teach
ers from both the normal school and
he university.

It's getting time O. year just now
when May swings into bloom,
And all the peach and apple trees are
reeking with perfume.
A panoramic glory glides the morning
in the East,
With an iridescent glamor of mighty
sumptuous feast.
The blackbird in the hollow and the
robin in the tree,
Are shouting hallelujahs up to heaven
and to me;
The forests trees are budding with a
freshness rich and rare,
And pronounce benedietion through
the blossom-scented air.
The south wind in his rambles,
searches every shady nook,
And gathers sweetest perfumes from
the blossoms by the brook.
The sun in gorgeous splendor smiles
upon the sprouting grain;
The flowers nodding to and fro are
welcoming the rain,
/ love to hear the droning of the hus-
ky bumble-bee,
AS he tumbles through the meadow in
a muffle ecstacy
! love to hear the ripple of the bustl
ing little rills,
And the music of the breezes as they
kiss the daffodils.
There's something that is pleasing
ev'ry minute of the day,
When Maytime brings the blossoms
out and fiaunts her banners gay.
All the glories of the seasons in sin
gle bunch appear
For the bloss0ming of nature is the
sweetest time Of year.
Its a part of my religion | would like
to have you know,
That a loving smiles an antidote for
ev'ry human woe.
It's a tIite and useful saying and its
secret I'll impart,
When your thoughts are with the
flowers there's no winter in the
heart.

TEDDY
TO FACE MUSIC
At CHICAGO
MAKE A Big PLAY There
May Direct His Fight There
In Person

Chicago, May 14-Taft leaders III
Chicago openly charge that Theodore
Roosevelt intends coming to Chicago
to make last stand" during the re-
publican national convention.
Never in the history of the republi-
can party it is said, has a candidate
openly seeking the nomination gone to
the convention or to the convention
city to plead his cause.
Taft leaders assert that they have
positive information that Mr. Roose-
welt has this in mind and that his
present expectation is to direct the
convention fight personally. They as
sert that such action could be taken
only for the purpose of causing a
stampede.
Whether Roosevelt intends to come
here or not it has not been made clear
that his campaigners will be in evil
dence. Extensive reservations of
rooms have been made at the Congress
hotel among the allotments being the
famous gold ball room. This will be
nsed as a general reception hall. The
headquarters will be IA floors below
the suite of rooms which is to be &C.
cupied by the Republican national
committee.
The present idea is for the full
committee to meet in Chicago June g.,
and begin the hearing of the contests.

"demagogue surrounded by coterie
of millionaires." That explains where
