LOCALS MUST
get READY
FOR LEAGUE
OTHER CITIES ORGANIZING
ORGANIZATION Here Should Be
Made at Once

Mr.. G. S. Gardner, who represented
local fans at the recent meeting nj
the various cities at Waycross for the
purpose of organizing new baseball
league in this section of the state
stated yesterday that he found that
several of the prospective members of
the new league are already organizing
their teams.
Brunswick, according to Mr. Gard
ner has five or six players engaged;
Cordele has several, and Waycross
has four or five. At this rate it be-
hooves the local fans to be up and do
ing. An organization to be effected
here Immediately is advised by Mr..
Gardner, as Americus must either get
into the new league or get out of the
game altogether. This will be true
because tne new league Will lnCluuS
practically the chief teams against
which the locals have been playing.
The next meeting of the league or
ganizers will in all probability be
held here, according to Mr.. Gardne".
Several of the cities CT the league are
working for this purpose, and it seems
cry likely that the meeting will Ii!
held here.
The Importance of the Board Of
Trade in the work of organizing was
Slso mentioned by Mr.. Gardner, as
he noted that in every city that had
representatives at Waycross the va
rious boards of trade had been large
ly instrumental in working up enthus-

TEACHERS
LISTENED
TO TALK
BY Com. LAND YESTERDAY
Regular Exercises. We're De-
fGfrGd For Day

On account of the fact that Mr.. I,
f. Land, county school commissioner
of Terrell county, was here yesterday
as a visitor, the regular exercises of
the teachers for the day in their
monthly meeting, were suspended. In
stead of the routine program. leo
ture by Mr.. Land was enjoyed.
Mr.. Land spoke to the teachers upon
matters that pertain vitality to the
teachers in the rural districts. He
stressed the matter of the economy OF
time in the rural school. To secure
this, he said, it is necessary that High
School pupils be eliminated from the
public schools in the country. The
reason assigned is that these students
who are usually very few in number,
take up about third of the total time
of the teacher
Another plan suggested by Mr.. Land
for remedying this trouble is the les
sening of the number of recitations
and the shortening of recitations ac-
cording to their Importance. The lea-
ture given by Mr.. Land was greatly en-
joyed by the teachers, as it was prac-
teal and the outcome of active expert
ence in the school room.

Now this is duty we owe to
ourselves. to gain an education
early. in life. My thought is that
if YOU educate a boy he will not
work in the field, nor can we blame
him very much, because the jobs
awaiting him in the city are great
compared with what the average
man has to undergo when he starts
life on the farm. True in one

is a hard one, while in another
