THE NEW BOND ORDINANCE

Residents of the city of Americas
are pleased at the action of the city
council at its recent meeting in issu-
ing another call for a bond election by
the introduction OF an ordinance to
that effect. This serves to place in
motion once more the necessary legal
processes which will place the question
of bond issue for the public schools
before the people once more.
The action OF the mayor and board
of aldermen in placing themselves on
record as favoring an issue of bonds
for schools is to be commended by
every thoughtful citizen, who has al
heart the interests of the schools. 1t
will not be until the next session Of
council that final action on the matter
of the bond election ordinance viii be
taken, but it is certain that the mem
bers Of the board of aldermen will be
on this important public
issue.
AS the laws Of the commonwealth o.
Georgia require that thirty days must
elapse after the favorable action of
council in the passage of such an ord
nance before the election requested
may be held the election to decide til,
matter of the issuance of these bonds
for public education cannot be held
until some day in March. If the earl
lest possible day is chosen, it will be
very near the close of the coming
month before the issue can be sub
mtted to the people for their ratifica-
ton or rejection.
There can be little doubt, howeve:.
that the people of Americas are ready
to give their approval to the issuance
Of the bonds that are desired for the
Improvement of the public schools
The fact that the issue of bonds had
8lready been considered by council
prior to the recent introduction of the
ordinance has served to attract public
attention very strongly to the need of
the school bonds A spirit of inquiry
and eagerness to learn the merits q:
the issue has been manifested here.
and this is a wholesome indication
that the people are interested in the
ratification of the bonds.
Every citizen of Americas shouli
take the matter of bonds for the
schools here to heart so strongly that
he will do everything in his power 20
win support for this worthy cause.
II is a cause in which every ratnc.
and mother in Americas should feel

AWAITING THE PROOF

The professional SkeptlclSm ana OPP
position which Dr. FREDERICK Franz
friedman encounters in having his
incubation serum for the cure II
tuberculosis accepted by his fellow
physicians is inspired less by profess
sional jealousy than by deep sense
of conservative responsibility peryad-
ing the medical profession. There have
been so many theories advanced and
so many cures and sacrifices pro-
claimed, whose after testing proved
them fallacious, is not actually fraud
uent, that the great mass of physic-
ians have assumed a general attitude
of skepticism. They will accept moth
ing until it has proved itself under the
most rigid scientific tests Especially
will they not accept or approve any.
thing which maintains in any way an
ir Of mystery or remains under private
control For this reason the arrange

culine to be submitted to the imperial
medical authorities Of Germany for
scientific test, analysis and expert
ments meets the approval of the med
ical profession of the world Even
favorable report from so eminent a
source will not save it from the puri-
flying fire of worldwide criticism. It
must be able to stand every test.
Ever since DR.. Koch nearly a score
of years ago proclaimed the discovery
of the bacillus of tuberculosis, and
established his claim against just
such opposition as this, controversy
has run high in medical circles. 1t

isolated and identified, and preventive
serums developed, until many diseases
formerly considered incurable, or of
high fatality, are now preventable ami

are diptheria, typhoid fever. men in

Medical research is progressing along
the same lines to discover remedies
