With something like fifty different
kinds of manufacturing enterprises al
ready using electric power from the
plant of the Cordele Electric Company,
the manufacturer considering location
in or near Cordeie has a source of
cheap and continuous power before
him. His power problems are solved.
No matter what manner of plant
it is that contemplates operating here,
the local power company can furnish
the juice with which to move the
wheels, for among the "fifty-seven"
varieties of manufacturing enterprises
now being suppliesd with current from
the big generators are anything from
a lighting system to a cow-milking
machine, which in the eyes of the lay
man, may be considered to include
the whole catalogue.
There are some manufactures that
haven't changed from other kinds Of
power to electricity Some few is right,
for most OF them have learned that
the electric way is the best and cheap
est and have made the change.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-04-22

A system which undertakes to edu-
cate without emphasizing the vital
force of morality and a strong reli-
gious life is worse than no system. A
system which teaches the translation
of Latin sentences, solving of geomet-
rical problems at the expense of NOR
al, social and religious conduct is not
an efficient system We need a system
built upon construction and not de-
struction.
This is a fast age. An age in which
complete revolutions are wrought be-
tween suns. We think faster, children
become grown people at an earlier
age Our commerce is transacted by
the touch of an electrict current. We
move over our highways in horseless
carriages. Our mail routes will soon
be made in roads above our heads,
through the air. After lal this great
progressive movement our educational
system has the same old beaten paths
that our colonial fathers put in oper--
alton. No wonder our high spirited
young Americans balk in such Doggy
roads, in such slow vehicles, under
such a slow system. May the day soon
dawn when our school system will take
on an electric current and move with
modern progress. When the future
historian records the achievements of
Georgia's noble sons, he will not fail
to mention the name of some young
man who has gone from the wooden
walls of this school of boys.

CORDELE,S ELECTRIC CURRENT

When a manufacturer operates on

electricity, he lays worries aside. All
he has to do, when he wants power,
there it is. His only worry is pay
ing the bills for the electricity at the
end of the month, and those who have
tried the electric way and others, say
that electricity is the cheapest. 1t
costs less and doesn't bring on pre-
mature death from worry, as other
methods sometimes do.
The plant of the Cordele Electric
company is located in the heart OF the
city OF Cordele.
The City of Cordele gets all of its
electric current from this plant. The
electricity used in the street lights
and residences is generated by the
Cordele Electric company and sold to
the city.

! County Home Demonstration Agent
The first Canning Club work done
in Crisp county was in the year 1916
when about 30 girls were enrolled by
the farm demonstration agent. Bull
letins and instructions were given out
by the county agent and all assistance
given was by him and the county SUI
perintendent of schools, until the can
ming season when lady agent from
neighboring county was called in
| to give instruction and help girls with
the canning. Only Of the girls en-
rolling finished their canning and
brought up a exhibit in the fall
AT the beginning of 1916, the second
year of the girls club work, a lady
was employed for 10 months to car
ry on the work Fifty girls began the
work and twenty-three completed the
years course, bringing up a display
of their canned products to county
exhibit; also a uniform cap and apron,
a record book, and story book, all
Of which were required to complete
the years work The seven girls who
completed the required work the first
year were among the number com
Dleting the second years course. In
1916 Crisp county won fourth prize i'll
state club work at Georgia State Fair
The third year of the club work has
now opened with an enrolment of
fifty canning club members, and -
Poultry club members, and each enroll
ment is not yet complete. We expect
to make a record for Crisp county this
year and close the years work with
fair for the boys and girls.
Because of the name of our canning
club it is thought by a great many
people that we learn only how TO can,
but we learn how to do many other
things besides this. The purpose of
the club work is to encourage the
growing and preserving of fruits and
vegetables in the home to teach the
girl different ways of preparing and
serving these products for the table,
10 give wholesome remunerative Occu-
patton in the rural home, to teach her
system, perseverance, and Suitability,

Do you know your public library has
possibilities of aiding you and making
your dreams of success come true in
whatever vocation you have chosen?
Dou you know that if you have not
had the proper educational advanta-

and with the aid of the librarian, car

Development of Common Schools
As Told by Pioneer Educator

LIST, 1896, the Cordele High school ceas'
ed to exist and the present public
schools of Cordele, under a state char
ter, was organized.
In May, 1866, a public meeting was
! held to elect a board of trustees. Col.
| j. T. Hill was elected president OF
! the school board, ]. w. Bivins, vice
president, J.. H. Webb, secretary, John
! S. Pate, A. kirkland, j. A. Perry and
| C. ]. Thomson, trustees; Prof. A. F..
Ware, superintendent, ]. G. Jeffcoat,
principal, and MISS Maggie NJ. Bass,
intermediate department, and Miss Alb
bolt Spratlin primary department,
Miss Dora A. Brinson and Mrs. L..
Brown, Jr., music teachers.
There were 234 pupils enrolled dur
ing the first year with four teachers
in charge.
Pateville school is among the old
est in the county, organized in 1880 in
little pine log house, taught by Mr..
w. H. Blesdoe for three years, after
wards the principalships were E. g.
, Green, R. L. McMath, ]. D. Mckenzie,
J. A. Bryan, T. ]. Macarthur, A. L. Nc
Arthur and others.
The first board of trustees were D,
M. Williamson, w. S. James, J. D.
Pate J. S. Pate, S. B. Pate, J. A. Story
S. NJ Hunt, J. 0. James, and q. Har-
den. Pateville still has a flourishing
school. Mr.. ]. A, Story has served
as trustee of this school continuously
for twenty seven years.
These were trying times upon teach
ers, especially. Cordele was new
town, the Magic City of the Pines"
composed of a cosmopolitan people
All had ideas of their own, so it soon
developed that he who succeeded must
do so by eternal work, with an in
domnible will and persistent effort The
prime movers in all great enterprises
are never fully rewarded for the self
sacrifices for public good.
The public school system is excel
lent in priciple; the next step is to
work out a rational curriculum. The
average high school graduate today
has learned little of what he most
needs to know, how to earn his living,
how to spend his money wisely, how
to live. The average girl knows little
of housekeeping, less of the duties of
motherhood, the moral value of flu
ture citizenship. The great dangers
and perils of all youth, the poisonous
effect of alcohol and narcotics are sell
dom effectively taught, Moral and re-
ligious education is, owing to our sec
tarianism almost absolutely neglected.
The evils of political corruption and
unscrupulousness in business, the So
cial problems that so insistently beset
us. are little taught in school. Boys
and girls can be brought to an eager
interest in moral and social problems.
Glass after class could be sent out
from our schools fired with enthusi-
assn to remedy wrongs and push for
a higher civilization The failure to
awaken more this dormant good will
and energy and to Great higher moral
standard and the solutions of problems
is a grave Indictment against our COM
placent education system. Religious
instruction in our public schools will
be delicate matter for the indefinite
future. In some way, at least, recog-
milton should be made of the important
role played in religious life.
