High School

Your Senior high school was found
to be in good working condition.
The teachers are mature and we'll pre-
pared for their work. For the most
part their instruction is excellent.
Your students are orderly, busy and
do creditable work.
Some time was also spent in the
Junior high school. 1t may be of in
terest to you to know that yours Is
one of the few schools of this type in
the state and considering the old
building and rather crowded condi-
tons under which pupils and teachers
work, this school is doing we'll. The
work observed was in the main cred
liable. There is perhaps need on
the part of the teachers for more en-
thusiasm in the presence of their
classes. The teaching should be close
and the entire class reached

Grade Work.

Some observations were also made
Of grade work and conditions. The
greatest need of your schools is mod
ern buildings. Aside from your
senior high school building, your
buildings are old and are not adapted
to the best type of modern school,
In two of the grade buildings the ven-
tilation is poor 1t is also problem
to keep the outdoor toilets in a sam
itary condition. The plan that you
have in mind to build substantial,
modern building, adequate for future
needs, and to do away with the pres
ent grade buildings, is to be COM
mended.
A second matter is also i'll need OF
attention. All OF your buildings,
save the senior high school, are seat
ed with double seats of an. uncom-
Portable type. Such seats are con-
ducive neither to good order nor to
good work. Your new building
should be seated with comfortable,
single seats OF good quality.
The inspector was glad to note that
all your buildings are reasonably we'll
supplied with good supplementary
reading material Good libraries are
indispensable to good school work,
and the school board is to be COM
mcnded for their wisdom in looking
to this, Butler has good school, and
| am glad to learn that your board
plans to make it more efficient by
paying salaries that will secure and
hold capable teachers and by the cree
ton in the near future of a substan-
tial, modern school building.
With continued good wishes, am

RUBY c. WANTS
AMERICUS HOME,
Good Place Here Needed For
Lovable Little Sister of
Reliable Joe"

Have you little fairy in your
home? IL you haven't, here's a
chaAas4.tO setsloHes sfrv-~~Sss~----e@--'sr--s-
Remember "Eeliable oe," the Grip
Jrled boy from the Georgia Child
ren S home, who came a few weeks
ago to make his home with DR.. and
Mrs. f. l.. Thurman? Well, one Of
Joe s sisters, Ruby, is without home,
and the Georgia Children's Home So
ciety of Atlanta, would like to find a
place for her where she can be near
Joe, a place in Americus, so that the
two may grow up together without
the family ties being entirely broken.
Ruby is nine years old: Joe is IL.
Jou, you may remember, has been
lame since infancy. But the Drs.
Thurman are treating his weak limb
and getting splendid results. Now
Joe can run and jump, play bali, ride
his bicycle, and do almost anything
else that the other boys can do. And
he has fine boyish face ana sun
ny disposition, so that he makes
friends with everybody. DR.. and Mrs
Thurman have come to love him al
most as much as they could had lie
been their own child
And his sister is fully as lovable
as Joe, il is said. DR.. +. L. Thurman
today showed the Times-Recorder a
letter from Miss Martha Dupree, of
the Gcorgfiia Children's Home So
ciety, telling about Ruby and asking
whether there was not a good home
for her available in Americu$. Her
letter said;
Joe himself is not any more Iowa
BILE than Ruby. She is an exceptional
ly quiet and refined child and whoever
gives her home would be orpud of
her development, am sure. II would
be wonderful ohave one of the sis
ters near joe"
SO who wants Ruby? She needs a
good home right away. Any who are
interested may communicate with the
Drs. Thurman, Americas.

FRIENDLY REFUSAL COMING FROM RUSSIA

MENACECOTTON,
SAYSUSREPORT
Situation Not Promising In North
Georgia-Fruia Outlook
Good

ATLANTA, May 6.-The alarming
feature of the agricultural situation
reported by the government crop
correspondents this week is the pres
ence of the weevi in practically ev-
cry important cotton county on May
1, according to the local government
statistician, 2. r. Pettet. lnfestatlon
SO early in the season usually means
very great damage during the grow
ing season. Even when ,emergenee
takes place at the normal time, the
progeny Of a pair of weevils through
the season run into hundreds OF
thousands
The gloom of the situation becomes
deeper when ii is considered that the
planting averages over two weeks
late in upper Georgia, that the pres
ent rains make farm work almost i'm
possible for several days, and that
cotton must be planted within the
next two weeks il il is 10 have a
fair chance of making crop. Many
farmers are going ahead in the face
Of these facts and hazarding their
Ell in a desperate attempt to make
cotton.
Early indications are that food
crops are being neglected in the up
per sections in favor of cotton. The
situation is SO serious that the crop
reporting service finds it necessary
to issue report that borders on
the sensational. In the sections
where cotton is up to stand it has
suffered considerably from cold.
This would not greatly affect the
final out turn were it not for the fact
that it delays maturity and gives the
weevil greater opportunity.
Cotton in Randolph and neighbor-
ing counties was in good shape on
report date. The major portion Of
the south central belt was in similar
condition, but needing rain.
On May 10 the Bureau will issue
a report with exact percentage of
blowing and planting performed with
quanltative estimates of wheat and
rye.
The progress of the small grains
has been watched with utmost con-
cern. Upon the oats, the farms de.
pend for feed to carry the mules to
next corn crop; upon the wheat,
many will depend for bread this year
Both of these have deteriorated bad
