imposed war tax on beer and a gen.
eral discussion of the prohibition

riod the year previous.
The trustees reported that a care

CoIIinston Crop Conditions.

Collinston.-The farmers have prac.
tically completed picking cotton and
gathering their corn and potato crops
The mills are busy grinding cane and
a very fine quality of syrup has been
produced. The crop is short. The
hay crop has been gathered under ex.
cellent weather conditions and Is OF
good quality.
The cotton crop is not quite up to
last years yield, though the acreage
was 20 per cent greater than in 1913.
The yield of corn is very satisfac-
tory and almost double that of 1913.
Most Of the farmers have sown q
large acreage in fall oats. At least 20
per cent OF the 1914 cotton acreage
has been already seeded to oats and a
large acreage remains to be planted.
The cotton acreage for next year
will be reduced from so to IS per
cent. The corn and hay crops will
be increased accordingly.

TO TAKE SCHOOLS
OUT Of POLITICS
SUPT. HARRIS HAS BEEN ACTIVE
IN A GREAT EDUCATIONAL
MOVEMENT.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
baton Rouge.-T. ii. Harris, state
superintendent of education, has re-
turned from New York, where he and
superintendent ]. Y. Joyner of North
Carolina and w. p. Shawkey of West
Virginia met to devise plans for the
Improvement of the educational sys-
TENS of the Southern States. The SUI
perintendents were appointed to male
the investigation by the conference of
Southern state superintendents, which
was held in Nashville this summer.
Mr.. Harris announced that the COM
mlttee had decided to make the fol-
lowing recommendations to the con-
ference:
!. All educational posts, including
state superintendent, county superin-
tendent, county school board members
and teachers, should be treated strict.
ly professional and not political.
2. Growth of educational system IL
dependent upon continuity of direc-
ton, therefore legislation should place
of any school officials.
3. The county should be the unit Of
school administration and taxation.
4. The county superintendent
should be a thoroughly qualified
teacher, and should give all of his
time to the work Of the schools. He
should be eligible for reelection and
should be selected ty a small county
board.
5. The schools should be taught By
thoroughly qualified teachers, this ap-
plying to country schools as well as
to town schools. Teachers should re-
main in the same positions through
long periods of time, and in order thai
this condition may be realized, the
state government should subsidize the
salaries of teachers who remain in the
some positions. Homes should be pro-
vided for the principals of country
schools:
6. Industrial and commercial work
should be introduced into the town
schools, and in the larger country
schools. In the consolidated country
schools the form of industrial work
should be agriculture and shops for
the boys, and domestic science for the
girls.
z. When possible, the country
schools should be consolidated, pro-
vided with proper physical plants and
taught by competent teachers.
s. The one-teacher country school
should be limited to a maximum of
live groups of children.
9. A thorough system of supervi-
sion Of schools should be provided by
both county and state.
10. School revenues should come
from three sources: The state, the
county and the district.
"The committee" said Mr.. Harris.
"will proceed at once to ascertain
what the different Southern states are
doing with reference to each of these
topics, and when this information is
in hand. the committee will hold an
other meeting, probably in Atlanta, for
the purpose OF formulating its report"
