The regular session or term of the
South Georgia Normal College is
ended commencement over) and
the pupils are at their homes. but a
summer session of select classes is
now in full blast and Miss Marie
Craig is employed as one of the teach
ers and hence she will be detained
for time at this special work. L
think it is the purpose of this sum-
mer work to teachers. Qualify
those seeking sucn work to know
how to do it. 1t is no child's play
to take such interesting work in
hand. therefore, Miss Craig's pecu
liar fitness for the work in hand
Keeps her here from home and
friends for a time, just what 1
wanted to say Ito her family when
introduced her name.
1t has been suggested recently or
advocated by some of our lcadirs
men that biennial sessions of your
legislature is ample for your de-
mands. If there is opposition to
such a change, L think the voters
and tax payers of the State should
make that ar issue at the next gen
eral election. The change will save
the State practically 100000 every
year the Legislature failed to
meet. One session every two years
can enact all the laws you need and
more too) then why spend so much
money for nothing. Georgia needs
badly such change and I think Il
VIII soon come. Politicians are Of
ten to blame that needed changes
are not promptly made.
