% YEARS AGO

In looking over an old paper we
notice that the Southern Railway
schedule from Atlanta to Washington
was faster in 1895 than it is today,
and the excursion round trip fare
from Atlanta to Boston, Mass, was
$500.
That same year the electric stove
had Just been invented, middling cot
ton was worth 6 Y cents per pound,
and eggs were.S to 9 cents per dozen,
In Marietta melons were plentiful
cantaloupes sold at the rate of five
for a nickel, and P. o. McLain was
City Marshall,
In Atlanta the Cotton States and
international Exposition was opening,
and the escape of Will Myers, who
murdered Forest Crowley, was the
sensation of the day.
Many are the changes in even that
short time! What will the next TWEEN
ty years bring to the world?

STOP EATING FREIGHT
A writer in Farm and Fireside say

A writer in Farm and Fireside says
in the July issue:
'To sum it all up, stop eating
freight. Transportation is the great
est problem of the war, and shipping
space the most precious thing in the
world. Above all-don't eat from
the pantry of the Allies! With a
little planning and much hard work
you can fill your pantry with home
grown foods.
''Last fall one woman who made
survey of five-mile circuit found
that she could get cornmeal, buck
wheat, and whole wheat flour from
neighboring mill, She canvassed
the farmers and contracted for win
ter supply of chickens, ducks, tur-
keys, guineas, and rabbits, a small
quantity of bacon and sausage, and
even fresh fish and ellis.
"When neighboring farmers killed
beef she bought quarter, treated
the family to fresh beef, and canned
and corned the rest. The sugar sup
ply of her family of six she cut down
to 10 pounds a month, and pieced
out this allowance with neighborhood
sorghum and honey.
During the long hard winter her
only call on the overburdened rail-
road was for a little sugar, coffee
vegetable fats, and seasonings. lhlS
was practical conservation. She re-
lieved the railroads Of useless trans
portation, saved the labor of many
hands, and developed the resources OF
her own community"

ROPE TOO GOOD FOR THEM

We note that Clark. Grier, Re-
publican, long of unsavory political
fame in this state, is involved in the
Camp Hancock contract scandal in
Augusta. We can not see how such
a character could have been supposed
to have any influence with any hon
orable Democratic official at Wash
ington.
The source of his influence there,
if ne has any, is with some hold-over
bureau chief, with whom the depart
ments are still filled, and who are
using the present opportunity for
grating, with the knowledge that no
cutlery will be made against the ad-
ministration at this time.
They remind us of the man of
whom Brann said, 1--WE have one tree
in Texas on which we have hanged
thirty-seven better men, and they are
all in hell"

TIME TO THINK

The extract from the Annual Re-
port of the State Superintendent of
Schools, which was printed in the Ma
rietta Journal recently, should arrest
the serious attention of every citizen
for the greatest problem confronting
any people is the education of its peo-
pie. The weakness in our school sys-
tenn emphasized in the above mention
ed extract is one of weighty conse-
quence to the entire body polite.
The teacher should be we'll paid.
His calling should be one of great
dignity and should be held in high
esteem. If it were so, 1910 of Geor-
gia's rural teachers would be highly
trained and efficient men. AS it is
under the existing state of things, not
1870 of those teaching are men, and
of this small percentage most of them
are using teaching to fill in vacation
or as temporary employment. The
average tenure for teachers is very
short. The reason lies in the fact
that large majority of the rural
teachers have neither the training, ex-
perience nor tact required for sue
cessful management of the country
schools.
The future of our state demands
that our school system be placed on
more efficient basis, and since so
much depends upon the teacher, re-
form in the system must begin with
him.
A study of the rural educational
system in the European countries sug-
gests that the teachers salary be such
that will make teaching permanent
profession. AS a permanent profess
sion it would require that the teach
err complete a thorough course in a
regular teachers training school and
possibly before assuming charge of
school be required to teach stated
period as a substitute and assistant.
OF course the betterment of our
rural school system depends on many
factors other than the teachers; but
the class of teachers which could be
secured by adequate pay and proper
recognition would in themselves solve
many of the perplexipg problems.
Would it not be we'll for us to
think more about the education of
our children? In the event of its
dangerous illness we would not think
of trusting the physical life of one
of our children to the uncertain care
of an unknown of untried physician
because his services were cheaper;
yet all to often we entrust the men
tai, moral, and spiritual life of our
boys and girls to the inefficient care
of untried and inexperienced teach
ers. Is it through carelessness, or is
it because it is cheaper?
Let US apply the same judgement
to our schools that we employ in our
business. Have you not found that
the best is the cheapest in the long
run?
Would it not be best for us to in
vest more time and money in our
schools, and then demand more from
those same schools?
Nothing in this article is meant to
reflect on the ability of Cobb's corps
of teachers-they are doing the best
work in the world, and taking half
pay in the satisfaction derived from
the knowledge of duty well done.

LARGELY TRUE

We haven't as much sympathy for
the Irish as some profess. When they
are in power they are tyrranous, and
when otherwise they are sullen and
unwilling to play their part like men.
They are not always good sports.
And yet we laugh with them, and
love them, and wish them well. AS
a rule however when hey are given
what they ask for they don't want it.

Gives Bad Check
For New Uniform
Arrested After Securing Snit on State
ment Had been Promoted to
Military Police.

George B. Smith. with several
aliases. was arrested yesterday by De-
tective Sergeants Wiltshire and Ber-
tucci and Policeman Mitchell, charged
with obtaining uniform from Burk
4 Co. on a bad check.
From information in the hands of
the detectives. Smith has been opera
ting in Richmond since July IS. at
least. They have four checks that
he IL said to have passed ON local
merchants and another that he had
in his pocket when arrested.
When he offered the check to Burk
& Co. he wore the uniform of pri-
vate In the army and wanted a second
Iieutenant's uniform, explaining that
he had just been appointed lieuten-
ant of military police, with his sta
ton In Richmond. He had previ-
ously, the detectives say, attempted
to secure a first lieutenants uniform.
The man had stopped at Murphy's
and Stumpf's and was known around
the Y. Nj. C. "A, where he hung out
considerably during the past two
weeks.
In their search for Smith the de-
tecttves ran across a man bearing that
street. Occupants of that house de-
clared they had no knowledge OF such
a man as that described to them as
having passed the bad check.
The prisoner said yesterday he was
from Camp Lee. having gone there
from Illinois. His case will be heard
in police court today and he will be
turned over to United States oficials.
