NEW PACT OF POWERS TO BE NO ALLIANCE
YOUR SCHOOL AND MINE
Impressions of Trip Through the City System
By Group Of Representatives of Various
Civic Organizations.

If you can get across this single
thought, that Americas parents and
4itizens generally should visit the
schools more and see what wonderful
work they are doing, although they
need many things, you will not have
written in vain"
This remark was made to the
writer by ]. Ralston Cargill yester-
day after a party of Americus men
and women, representing several civic
organizations, aad spent several
hours under the direction of Supt j.
E. Mathis inspecting the city school
system. The writer had just remark
ed upon the many things he had seen
and the utter inability of any per-
ION to put into words tho message
hat spread Itself before those school
visitors.
1t was a splendid day and a splen-
lid days work. The committees
representing the Rotary, Kiwanis and
Lions clubs, the Woman's club and
the American Legion Auxiliary gath
eled at the Furlow Grammar school
at $50 o'clock, visited the various
grades and departments of that
school,, saw the classes at work and
the children at play, called at the
Prospects Heights and East Americus
Grammar school and observed the
work there, circied back to the High
school where the classes, crowded
but enthusiastic and eager for learn
ing even under somewhat adverse
conditions, were viewed. and ended
by sitting down to a splendid turkey
dinner prepared and served by the
junior class girls in domestic science
under the direction of their teacher,
Miss Martha Cobb. 1t was a splen-
did day indeed
Smiling Faces Everywhere.
Everywhere the visitors met kind
ly, sympathetic, smiling faces. Near
iy everywhere there was an apparent
timidity among the pupils in proceed
ing with their work in the presence
of outsiders, for, the teachers re-
marked, school visitors are all toe
few, and the novelty rather divefted
the attention of the children. Some
how, the parents of Americas do not
take the interest in the welfare OF
their children in school that they
should, the teachers said-not COM
plainingly--and they would be more
than welcome if they would visit the
classes often. The parents, too,
would profit by it; there would grow
up a closer bond of sympathy and ap-
probation between the taxpayers and
the schools--and it would not be long
until the people of Americus would
be DEMANDING better school facili-
ties and better equipment than is
now possible under the meager al
lowances made for them.
The youngsters seemed greatly TO
enjoy the visitors presence, despite
that they were bit awed here and
there; they seemed to understand
that their school, after all, meant
more to the grown-ups than just a
place where tired or party-busy moth
ers can send their children to be rid
Of them for the day, which happens
in TOO many cases. In some rooms

Tax Receiver, found said books and
records neatly and correctly kept.
The committee appointed to exam
Inc the courthouse and Jail found
botn buildings in excellent condi-
ton, clean and sanitary in every re-
spect, but do recommend that new
water supply pipes be run to the Jail

bridges found same in very good con-
dition with one or two exceptions
The committee on the poor farm
reported same in good condition and

good idea, one entertained in the in

OF the general community, 10 arrange
for the construction Of Spooners

It will be easily accessible, and where

OF enveiling clouds.
You see by having a spooners
park the rank and file Of our citizen
~ would have no call to butt In and
look on, whereas, as things now are.
with no place TO spoon save in the
picture shows and the Chautauqua
tent, ordinary mortals cannot help
noticing the sooners and wondering
if the fellow is hugging his own wife

Understand, We have no objection
TO fellow hugging his girl and press

A Bumper Wheat Crop.

Last autumn there was q hullaba-
loo about the certainty that the Amer
ican farmer, now that market quota
tions were shooting the chutes, would
not raise wheat as he had been rails
ing II during the period OF war peak
prices. But here is the United States
Government report with an estimated
winter crop of 6o0,oo0,000 bushels,
which Is the fourth largest in the
history Of the country.
With the 3O0,0O0,000 to 100000
600 bushels Of carry over on March
10 this winter crop would be q pretty
good supply for export as well rs do
nestle demands. By Itself 1t would
be quite enough, IL not a single bushel
were in prospect from the spring
wheat crop, to feed the nation and
provide the farmers seed supplies.
The American farmer is nobody's
fool. He knows that 1t pays better to
grow plenty of wheat for normal
market, when the cost of raising and
handling II is normal, than to be COM
PEELED to put into his wheat abnormal
costs of production that Will eat up
all the crop can be sold for in even
an abnormal market
The American farmer, like every
other producer, has had to take some
bitter medicine, when after he had
put high wages and high supplies
into his crop last year his selling
market collapsed under him. But
when he can buy his materials and
supplies at something like rational
figures, as he now can, and when he
can get his labor on a similar basis
as he will be able to get II this year,
the American farmer Is not going to
reach the poorhouse on his bumper
crops; he is going to make money.
And this Is what the nation wants the
American farmer to do.
