dren of school age residing within the
district. In some localities it may be
difficult for the clerk to list all the
children in a district that covers a
large area, and parents can assist in
the work by voluntarily supplying the
desired inform alton. The apportion-
ment of school money is based upon
the census returns from each district.
The clerk must make return to the
county superintendent within fifteen
days after the completion of the cen
sus, that il by October Is, 1913.
As this report to the county super.
intendent is now to be made in dupli.
cate, the clerk will have to make
three copies. One copy to be deliver.
ed by the clerk to the school trustees.
Two copies to be sent to the county

Ecelir1 Heat and Cold.

The principal reasons that we feel
objects that are cold when brought in
contact with the skin quicker than
those that are warm is that the skin.
being Il very poor conductor Of heat,
absorbs heat slowly from IN object of
= higher temperature than itself, while
other objects which, are cooler and
which in nearly every instance are
better conductors of heat than the skin
absorb heat readily from the skin, and
hence a sensation of cold is felt at once.

MOVING TOWARD CHINA.

America, Il . Said, 10 Being Pushed
Westward by Ice Pressure.
1t may be news to most people that
North America has travelled from Flu.
rope across the Atlantic to its present
position on the globe and that it Is
still moving toward China.
According to the calculations Of Pro
fessor Wegener of Marburg. Germany.
North America in the last twenty-six
years has moved 300 feet away from
Europe. and Greenland in eighty-four
years has travelled the appreciable dis
lance OF 3,OS3 feet. also away from
Europe. Professor Wegener believes
that this movement westward is due
to surface pressure eXerted by ice.
Not only does this pressure force the
continent or island upon which it is
exerted to sink: but. just as a lot of
cakes OF ice lying upon each other in a
pan OF water move the lower strata of
the ice cakes sideways. so does surface
pressure of ice force an island or eve
a continent to move sideways. Green
land. so much smaller than the North
American continent and loaded down
more heavily with ice because OF its
northern latitude. would uiUve much
more rapidly than our W continent,
as 1t actually does. if Professor Veg
ener's computations be correct.
1t Professor Wegener be right. then
it is not merely possible. but probable,
that America and Europe We're ut one
time either one and The same continent
or so close together that even the rude
craft and meaGer se0inanship OF the
| early Hebrews and phoenicians could
carry men and women from one cont
nent to the other.
The average breadth of the Atlantic
ocean is about 5000 miles. Each mile
contains $50 feet. \ simple aritll-

formed man, and completely ION to"
his present job, is an unusually grace
tul and convincing writer lie con-
tributes frequently to various agricul-
tural publications throughout the ma
ton. and articles from him are regu-
larry solicited by number.
Mr.. Hughes has been in the office
OF Commissioner of Agriculture as as
sistant for little more than four

plain that James D. Price, the head of
she department, made no sort of mis-
young South Georgian as his first lieu

Between the two. Governor Slaton
and Commissioner Price. the various
State fairs will have been pretty well
covered by the time the last one is held.
Both have strained every point pos
stble to visit those TO which they have
been invited, and those that the Gov
ernor has been forced through circum-
stances over which he had no control,
to miss. Commissioner Price generally
has succeeded in getting to.
Both men are enthusiastic advocates
OF the county fair idea, and neither has
left undone anything that might tend
to encourage them. There have been
around seventy fairs held in Georgia
this year-and every one of them has
constituted an exceptionally, good Elk,
nibit.
Eventually II is hoped TO have a fair

ropean Governments have been in
formed of the future American pol
icy toward Mexico, there is no rea-
son why il should be withheld from
the people Of the United States.
The one significant development of
the past As hours is that the rela-
tons between the United States and
the three European powers most di-
rectly concerned in MeXico-Great
Britain, Germany and France-now
are on a much better footing. This
Is Cue not only to the speech made
by Premier Asquith in which he dis
claimed all intention of opposing the
American policy, but also to the frank
Interchange of views which the State
Department initiated some days ago.
