The Need of Georeia'S Schools

The people of Wheeler county warmly to
be congratulated upon having voted, by ma
jority of more than three to one for local taxation
to maintain and improve their public schools. This
step means a longer school term in the rural dis
tricts, larger corps of teachers, a widening and
deepening of educational opportunities, quick
eRed development of the community's material
sources and a constant enrichment of its common
life. The overlooking majority by which the local
school tax voted in Wheeler is tribute to that
countys progressveness and also to the able
leadership of its school superintendent, Prof W. G.
Hartley.
In the last six months seven counties have
Joined the forward ranks of those having a county
wide local tax to supplement the school fund re-
ceived from the State and four others are to hold
elections for this purpose within the next month.
1t is a cheering fact that of all the counties which
have voted on the question this year, only two
have voted unfavorably and that the list of local
tax counties has grown from a handful to
present strength of fortyeight. In time the entire
State undoubtedly would come to the local tax
plan, as almost every State except Georgia did
long ago Enlightened public sentiment is moving
irrevocaby in that direction.
But why wait ten or fifteen years to give the
commonwealth the benefit of system which It's
thoughtful citizens all favor and which is unques-
tionably the only system under which we can make
our public schools what they ought to be-. Why
go on requiring each county to incur the trouble.
and expense of holding special election to decide
this matter when general election could de-
eide 1t for the entire State? Why not submit to
the people a Constitutional amendment to the end
that local county tax for schools instead Of being
optional as shall be obligatory? If the people
did not want the change, they would vote it down.
Bills for this purpose are pending in the Gen.
eraI Assembly, having been introduced in the Sen
ate by Senator H. H. Elders of the Second district,
and in the House by Representatives Jones, of
Coweta; Smith. of Dade and Landlord, of Toombs.
The principle of this legislation is ncontestably
right and its details have the approval of State
School Superintendent Britain and educational
leaders generally 1t should be noted particularly
that there is nothing whatever in the pending
measures designed to reduce limit the present
State appropriations for schools. The only object
is to provide fair and effective system for supple
menting the State fund by local aid; and that is
the paramount need of Georgia's educational in
terests These measures, we earnestly trust VIII
receive the prompt and favorable action their great
Importance deserves.

a State Market Bureau.

There is a widespread and well-warranted de-
mand for the expansion and perfection'of the Mar
ket Bureau which instituted some months ago
in the State Department of Agriculture. The
service OF such a bureau is needed at all times,
hut particularly when Georgias acreage OF FOOD
crops is larger than ever before and when the
need of sustaining the farmers interest in food
production is more than ever imperative.
Georgia's development and prosperity depend
largely on a diversified opposed to One-crop
system of agriculture But it is certain that the
farmers will not adhere to that policy unless they
have dependable markets for their food products.
A farmer who raises a hundred bushels of pota-
toes and has to let the bulk of them in his
cellar or who raises hundred hogs and is unable
to sell those for which he himself has need
will be inclined the next season to abandon diver
sification and plunge deeper than ever into
ton. Yet, while his potatoes and meat were 60
ins to waste Georgia merchants would be import
ing vast quantities of those staples from faraway
regions and Georgia consumers would be spend
ing millions of dollars abroad for commodities
which their own State raise in abundance
Evidently, then, the surest way to encourage
food production and thereby promote the broad
basic interests of the State is to establish con-
venient and reliable relations between those who
wish to sell and those who wish to buv sucb
products. State Market Bureau is a valuable
means to that end. Through local depots or agen-
cies at every county seat IT can keep in constant
touch with practical conditions throughout the
State regards both the supply of Georgia-raised
foodstuffs and the demand for them. Thus it can
serve consumers as well as farmers. increasing
the profits OF the and reducing the food bills
of the other. Furthermore a wel-equipped bureau
of this kind would be in daily telegraphic CORE
spondence with market centers the country over,

a Good Man for a Great Work.

President Wilson's appointment of DR.. Andrew
NJ. Soule as voluntary Food Administrator for
Georgia is wisely bestowed and richly merted
honor. For the high requirements of this position
DIR. Soule is eminently fitted both by his broad
grasp of scientific principles and his practical, in
innate knowledge of conditions throughout Geor-
ga. AS President of the State College of Agricul-
ture he has been leader for years past in just
the sort of educational work that was needed TO
prepare the way for effective action lin this time
of stress and peril. Thus he will take up easily
and naturally the duties which the Government
has assigned him. and he will receive, We feel
sure, the hearty cooperation of loyal men and
women in every Georgia community.
Cooperation is the prime essential to success
in all plans for increasing and conserving our food
supplies Farmers, merchants, transportation in
terests and consumers all must work together for
their common interests and for the supreme inter
ests of the nation. Dr. Soue's efforts will be di-
rected principally to organizing these forces for the
three broad purposes of encouraging production
eliminating waste and improving distribution. HIS
services, like that of those assisting him. will be
given altogether freely for the labor is purely one
of patriotism.
The food problem is of paramount concern to
Georgias material interests well to the Ameri

to the battleheds of France. What comfort
such a position must afford Germany! What
an idotc position for the greatest and most
powerful nation of all the earth to take!
Sit idly by and tweedle our thumbs while
our allies are in a death grapple with our
enemy on their soil. let our enemy annihilate
our friends. and then turn the captured guns
of our friends upon us on American soil.
What craftsmanship! What nonsense
In part of his stirring statement does our
Congressman from the Fifth district hit the nall
more squarey on the head or drive it home with
finer vigor than when he says:
This is no time to play politics This is
no time to applaud the enemies of your great
President. . At the helm of your Ship OF
State you have a man clear-eyed, with far
reaching vision over the troubled waters
strong-minded standing for human rights
and American liberties; steadfast in the
Christian faith. You can trust him implicitly
in this trying hour
If we cannot trust President Wilson, whom can
we trust in this, the most momentous issue that
America and democracy ever faced? And If we
do not support the nations leader then what
hope have of the nations security and honor?
Congressman Howard does not belong to that
school of statesmen who had rather be wilful
than right and who fancy they. turn the sun
TO ice by tanning in its face with peacock feather
He belongs to the school who believe that in
time of all party lines and all factional lines
should he blotted and that no personal pride
or prejudice should stand for a moment against
the nations interests. And that, proud
to say is the school to which the rank and file Of
all Georgians belong.
