IN SOUTH GEORGIA SCHOOL
College at VaIdOSta Forging
Ahead Rapidly

Valdosta, Ga, Jan. 27.-The South
Georgia Normal College, which open
ed les than a month ago, has only
two rooms left in the dormitory and
these will be occupied before the end
Of another ninth. Applications are
coming in from pupils who want 10
enter next term.
The college was handicapped in the
opening by the fact that nobody
thought the building would be ready.
The report went abroad that the COL
lege would not open on time and
many believed it. But the building
is now fully completed and the scat
folding will be removed netx week.
The city has done a splendid part
by the school in finishing the side
walks and streets to the campus and
also in extending the sanitary sewers
and electric lights to the building.
The city hands also layed off the
walks through the campus.
Within the past week orders were
placed for a splendid electric range
and eighteen electric stoves for use
inc the domstic science department.
This department is to be one of the
most complete in the entire country.
Every visitor to the college has been
impressed with the size and beauty
the college building. 1t is decidedly
the prettiest college building in the
state, and is equipped with every
modern convenience.
The members of the faculty have
taken up their work with great en-
thusiasm and teachers and pupils are
proud of being charter members" of
the school.

Let them stop, think and then re-
alize how much they may do by
putting forth their utmost efforts,
with the cooperation of the parents,
in encouraging our school boys and
girls to join these respective clubs.
They ought to think this matter over
seriously, secure the names of pros
pective members from their schools,
and bring their names in next Sat
urday.

ming club rally to be held in East

REALTY VALUES
CLIMB RAPIDLY
IN ATLANTA
SALES MADE BY SQUARE FOOT
Is Suggestion of Real Estate
Men

Atlanta, Jan. 27.-Now that the
prices of Atlanta real estate are
reaching such extraordinary figures,
there is considerable talk of chang
ing the method of selling property
here, particularly central or business
property from the so much per front
foot plan to a price per square fooC
This is the way real estate is sold in
New York and many of the larger
cities, and the Atlanta Real Estate
Mems Organization has taken up the
matter in the belief that it would get
more nearly to the proper valuation
than the front foot plan.
The agitation among the real estate
men recalls a story of the late Wash
Collier, who owned the valuable cor
ner at Peachtree and Ellis streets on
which the Aragon Hotel is now locat-
ed. Before the Aragon was built, an
Atlanta man who saw the POSSIBLE
tiles in this piece of property, told
Mr.. Collier he would cover it with
silver dollars in exchange for the
lot.
All right" said Mr.. Collier, 81 will
do it if you will lay them edgewise, ,
Of course the property was not sold
at this price. 1t would have given
Mr. Collier something like $1,000 a
square foot, which is double the price
of valuable central property in New
York city.
But there is centrally located land
in Atlanta which has sold around 500
per square foot, although all trades
have been made on a basis of so
much per front foot There was sold
day or two ago a piece of Pachtree
street property in the business center
aggregating $50 square feet which
brought total of 100000 or a little
more than $73 per square foot. A
| New York plot at the corner Of
Broadway and Wall street sold a
short time ago for $55865 per square
foot.
Based on population the price of
the New York property was approx
imately 1881 per square foot for
each 100000 of population, estimating
that the population of New York is
approximately six million. On the
same basis the price of the Atlanta
property was $3.50 per square foot
for each 100000 of population, figur-
! ing that Atlanta has around 100000
The indications are from these fig
Tres that Atlanta's business property
is more than holding its own, and
/ yet even at these figures the rental
basis is proportionately somewhat
higher than that in New ork city. In
other words rental received for the
Atlanta property will pay a some
what higher rate of interest than that
in New York.

GEORGIA SPENDS
TWO MILLIONS
FOR SCHOOLS
GOOD RESULTS FOR MONEY
Schools Cost Over Two MIL
lions Yearly

Atlanta, Jan 27.-Although Geor-
gia has not perhaps done so well by
her common schools as some of the
larger and more wealthy states of
the Union, a very gratifying progress
has been made in the reduction Of
percentage of initeracy. and the fig
ures seem to indicate that the state
has made most of the money which
It has expended upon the schools,
The census of 1900 showed that the
percentage of iIliteracy in Georgia
was $50 per cent; that is 1916 per-
sons out of every one hundred could
gathered by the State Department Of
Education showed that this figure has
been reduced in 1912 to 2O.7 per cent
State School Superintendent NJ. l..
Britain is very much gratified over
this splendid showing, and he is Of
the opinion that with the same rate
of progress, this percentage OF Hit
eracy will be reduced by one-half py
the time the next United States Gems
us is taken.
The high percentage of illiteracy is
due, of course. to the large negro
population. Thirty-six per cent. of
the negroes are still unable to read
and write, as compared with 65 per
cent. in 1900; while the percentage
of white iFliteracy has been reduced
from - to rs per cent. in the twelve
year period
The state now appropriates $780,
600 annually to its common schools.
and about every other legislature
makes an increase in this appropriA-
ton. By 1920 there is every reason
to believe that the annual appropria-
ton for schools win be considerably
more than 100000.
or course, every time an increase
is made in this appropriation, it must
depend upon added income. The in
crease in the recent pass has been
gathered altogether from the general
Increase in property values over the
state.
But now with other state institu-
tons fighting more vigorously than
ever for their share, it will be neces-
sary for the schools in part at least,
to depend upon the natural reduction
OF the pension appropriation which
must come with time.
The pension roll seems to have
reached It's turning point, and the
payments this year win be something
like $4,000 less than in 1912.
Whether is decrease continues.
however, will depend wholly upon the
future attitude of the General Assem-
bly, towards pensions. If future leg
islators insist. as some have tried 20
do, that the pension list be opened
wide, it will mean a big increase, at
least for a time.
But if they hold to the present ba-
sis, there is little question that the
turning point has been reached and
that a few years will bring such a
material reduction in pension pay
ments as will allow for considerably
better support of the states public
school system.
