COUNTY SCHOOLS
MAKING PROGRESS
SAYS Mr.. GRAHAM
MOST OF THEM HAVE RECOVER
ED FROM THE EFFECTS OF
CLOSING ORDER.
ATTENDANCE GENERALLY is GOOD
In Spite Of Unusual Difficulties County
Superintendent Is cratifed over
What He Finds on Tour Of Inspee-
tion.

Public schools of Maury county hav,
recovered surprisingly and most graft
fyingly from the epidemic of induen
"a that for time completely demor
allied them, according to a Statement
made by County Superintendent Johr
r. Graham. Superintendent Graham
has visited a large number Of the
schools of the county recently and is
very much pleased with the attend
ance.
The schools are suffering most from
sickness in the sixth district, the
school at Enterprise having been fore
ed to again close because of recur
renee of sickness among both pupils
and faculty But in other sections oi
the county there has been an almost
complies recovery and the attendance
compares favorably with better years
in the past.
In spite of all the difficulties under
which the schools of the county have
operated this term, from present indi.
cations they are going to make most
fayorbale record. AT the beginning
the educational authorities were badly
hampered because of the scarcity of
teachers and inability to make up fac
ulties at many places until the last
day. and in fact in some schools the
opening was actually postponed for
this reason. Then after things got to
running smoothly came the epidemic
and that stopped school work entire.
ly for time
superintendent Graham takes a
most hopeful view of the situation and
believes that despite all these difficult
ties a good record for attendance is
going to be made over the county.
Some of the hurriedly organized and
inexperienced faculties are doing fine
work. The great thing lacking in the
schools of the county and one one
thing that causes those directly re-
sponsible for the educational interests
more worry than anything else is the
lack of equipment.

i0S FAMILIES AIDED IN JANUARY

One hundred six families, white and
colored, were given information and
assistance by the Home Service de-
partment Of the Maury county Red
Cross chapter during. January, ac.
c0rdlng to the monty report of Mrs
Virginia Lamb, recently filed with the
Southern division headquarters. OF
this number 26 received information
only. while the other so were given
assistance in the form of letters writ
ten to the war department, advice on
the management of their private af-
fairs, financial aid and other forms OF
help that was beneficial to them. Only
five families were given financial as
sitsance from the revolving fund,
which is paid back when the period OF
stress ha sheen passed by the recip-
lent. The amount used was $5S, most
of which has been returned.
The Home Service branch has been
removed from the Maury National
Bank building to a building on North
Main street where four rooms have
been occupied across the hall from the
Office of J. H. Dining. Tae ileadquar-
ters Of the chapter also viii be locat-
ed there. The Home Service, Of which
Mrs. Lamb is secretary, and the Coun-
ty Chapter, Of which Miss Elizabeth
Whittlorne is chairman, will each
have an Office at this place. Another
room will be general waiting room
and another as a rest room for women
and children. Each room will be prop
erly furnished to meet the needs of its
USE
In the future the knitting works will
be conducted in the sewing rooms of
the Red Cross in the Maury Dry Goods
Go. building, but all other Red Cross
activities will be centered at the head
quarters on North Main street.
1t Is the purpose of the chapter to
make the Home Service permanent
and to extend it to civilians of all
classes as we'll as to the families who
have men in the service. A survey
of the situation is being made for
the plan Of more general service to
the people of the county. The Janua-
ry report shows that majority Of the
families given assistance were from
rural sections, and it is thought that
the service will continue to be of
special benefit to these sections.

PARIS, Feb. 6.-Success or failure
of the league of nations depends al
most wholly upon the United States.
While America from purely practi.
cal standpoint, has more to lose than
gain through the league, its duty to
the peoples Of the world compels its
! leadership in this international fellow
ship Of nations.
This frank statement was made to
the United Press today by Major Cen
eral Frederick Maurice, British ex-
pert on military and international af-
fairs. He was director of military op-
erations for the British general staff
until when the British were oppos-
ing the German drive practically un-
aided, he made his famous "Where is
Bleucher" statement.
Maurice declared that not only must
the United States furnish financial
support for reconstruction Of the war
stricken countries without which as
sistance the league would be still
born but that a great American navy
is absolutely essential to maintenance
of the leagues chief administrative
weapon economic pressure.
81 am absolutely certain that real
league of nations is going through"
said Maurice. Every day it Is more
fully realized that the league is not an
ideal, but working proposition. When
the question OF its exact form is
brought up there will come the real.
ization that its real efficiency de-
pends upon the United States. This
doesn't mean 1t will be necessary for
the United States to undertake terri
torial commission outside of her own
continent.
Practical difficulties, from the
standpoint of the United States, prob
ably will override the advantages she
may obtain from the league But 1t is
absolutely vital that America shall
assume a moral leadership of the
league affairs.
Americas most important contribu-
tions to the league come under two
heads financial and military.
."The necessity for an agreement
by the United States to support the
league OF nations financially become
clearer the more closely the matter
of restitution and restoration is gone
Into. The more actual information is
obtained the more certain it is that
we2wiil ont get enough out OF the cen
trail powers, either Of money or ma
