FOR BOYS

Professor Ware has been very busy
revising his course Of study in his
school. While the curriculum has al
ways been full and of high order, yet
the very latest and best text books
on all important subjects are used.
Professor Ware buys and furnishes
free all books used in his school.
business English, a new text hook,
written primarily from the business
mans standpoint, has been put in the
course OF study for the fall term. An
other very important subject taught
in this school is Problems OF Conduct.
which is an introductory CT Moral
Ethics, This subject is not taught to
mixed classes.
Human life is checked with the sun
shine and shadow of good and evil
JOY and pain. Personal morality
should be well taught and learned or
life is failure. The whole curricu-
lum is liberal, based upon a high stand
ard, generally five years work, but
can be accomplished in three years
by select number of working boys.
Professor Ware says there are two
boys. John Holland of Unadilla, and
Harry Paris of Cordele, who by per
sistent effort, hard study and regular
attendance, may accomplish this
work in two years time. Every boy
is given free reigns for study and has
personal attention
The curriculum of our high schools
must be so arranged to meet the con-
ditions of boys who cannot or will not
attend college. From the numbers of
high school graduates there are ten
girls to one boy. This shows very
plainly there is something wrong in
the high school or in the course of
study. The majority of young men
cannot afford to go to- college. Bus
mess necessities of all departments
are calling for young men who have
had some special work in Business
English, Penmanship Commercial
Law and all higher mathematics. This
course is highly significant and marks
the opening CT a new regime in the
special education of young men. The
business world is saying in egect: If
the public school system is not turn
ing out the right kind of human ma
terial which we can use to the best
advantage, then we must do it our
selves.

SALARIES OF GEORGIA
JUDGES ARE INCREASED
Bill is Passed by Senate-New Coun-

of Tax Equalization Act Not Likely.

Atlanta Aug. 3.-The Senate today
passed a bill to amend the constitu-
ton as to increase the salaries of SUI
perior court judges from $4,000 to S4,-
coo year, and so as to increase the
salaries of judges of the court of ap-
peals and supreme court from $4,000
to $4,000.
The Senate also passed today the
bill to amend the constitution so as
to create the new county of Treut-
len.
In the House the day was devoted
to preliminary consideration of The re-
vision of the general tax act, prepared
by the ways and means committee.
1t increases practically all the special
license taxes now levied by the senate
and adds to the list a large number of
small business concerns, trades, pro-
LESSONS, occupations. etc, not taxed
heretofore. 1t is estimated that the
'N'AN4S' WIN VI OuuCG ptuO,UUU wear
additions revenue.
representative Wright of Floyd, in
presenting the bill, urged the Hause
to pass up the items as rapidly las
possible, or otherwise the bill would
occupy the entire remainder Of the
session and prevent the passage of
the general appropriation bill, thus
making an extra session necessary.
The opponents of repeating the tax
equalization law emerged victorious
from a sharp skirmish with the advo-
Gates of repeal in the House this
morning, The possibility of the re-
peal bill reaching a vote is now very
slim.
The House today again declined
TO hold afternoon sessions, either
for the balance of the session or
for today.
