The little school frOck here Sketched
Is an ideal garment Of its class. Either
plaid serge, plaid taffeta or plaid velvet
may be used for the dress, with guimpe
Of plain color, which may blend with
the plaid or be In sharp contrast. OF
: course, white guimpe may be worn If
desired, but one in color would be
much smarter. The neck may be fin
ished with frill of self-fabric, or with
q plain facing, over which dainty
white collar is worn.
This dress may be arranged in two
or three different ways. according to
the figure Of the girl for whom it is in
tended. If she is very thin and without
hips to hold skirt properly the skirt
may be attached to the guimpe, with
the plaid coatee q slip-over, or the
guimpe may be separate and coatee
and skirt attached, in which case the
coatee buttons in the center back. II
It is slip-over, buttons may be
eliminated.
The big generous pockets are Inn
portant. They are, Of course, extreme
" convenient. and give smart style

To make this dress for the average
fourteen or fifteen year old girl four
Nrds OF plaid fabric 36 inches wide
and one and half yards Of plain-color

Backache Of any kind IS often caused

Our interest in better schools in
Crisp county has been rudely handled
and considerably shaken up by the
head of our two school systems and
our good impression of the single sys-
tenn which has been in operation in
Bibb for forty years is all shot to
pieces. For all-every little bit of this
we are sorry.
But we said the people of Cofdele
and the people of Crisp county will
want Just such system when they
know the difference. They are good
av erage people, capable OF progress
in schools just like other people. We
have not missed it very far.
The people of Bibb however, did
not get their systempthrough the state
constitution of 1877. Please bear that
in mind. The people of Georgia do
not get good schools in that way. They
cot their schools through an act OF
the legislature The people of Bibb
planned the system themselves, just
like we can plan any system we want
and get it through the legislature. The
constitutional convention Of 1877 gave
Georgia it's present constitution, but
it did not constitute a school system
for Bib county any more than it pro
vided system for Crisp. Our law
makers have at all times left it to us
to adopt advanced methods as we
may desire.
We have had terrible shot hurled
at us for suggesting that our schools
may be improved, and the head OF our
two systems will not admit that such
a thing is possible. We are reminded
that forty years are gene and other
counties have not adopted the single
system idea. There are lots of Other
good ideas they have likewise not
adopted, and why? But this is moi
sufficient reason for our continuing
to run two systems in the small coun
ty of Crisp. 1t is not sufficient rea
sen for levying a school tax in COrdelt

lies to run good schools here alone
1t is not sufficient reason to levy an
