We recall that some fifteen or
more years ago Congressman j. ..
Patterson stated in his campaign
speeches that he intended to offer a
bill in congress to appropriate s2O,-
100000 for good roads. The idea was
revolutionary, and little Importance
was attached to it, as many folks
thought it would bankrupt the gov
ernment./ 1t is interesting TO recall
this in view of the hundreds OF MIL
lions now appropriated every year by
the national government for high

WHAT is THE LYCEUM?

The lyceum is devoted to improve
ment.
The lyceum has existed in some
form on this globe ever since the
first human being went to another to
learn how to improve. It will exist
a long while-as long as a human
being needs improvement.
The lyceum is the business of tell
ing people how to improve.
The lyceum leaders have been the
prophets, philosophers, seers, sages,
preachers, teachers, crusaders and re-
formers who have told the people
how to improve.
They have told the people about
the improvement they have made or
that they ought to have made, or
that should be made. They have
done it by different ways, some by
teaching, some by questioning. Some
have argued, some have scolded,
some by teachingk7d---SHDR
some have cheered. But whatever
they have done they have improved
the people or tried to improve them.
We got the word lyceum just like
we got the word Chautauqua. 1t vas
derived from the place where it was
first held. The ancient Greek lyceum
was the largest of the Gymnasia OF
Athens, and got it's name from the
temple of Apollo Lycius that stood
near by. Socrates used to sit around
there and tell what he knew to the
folks who would listen. And then
Aristotle made it a business Of sitting
there in the porch or the grove,
while people came from far and near
to drink in his ideas about improve
ment.
So when anybody talked improve
ment he was running another Lyce-
um, in the large sense of the word
And we have to keep the large sense
of the word Lyceum. or we run our.
selves into a corner nowadays.
Noah was giving Lyceum lectures

Commenting on the suggestion OF
The Bamberg Herald that state, coun-
ty and school taxes be collected quar-
terly instead of annually, the Au-
gusta Chronicle says:
There have been suggestions in
Georgia of plan for installment pay
ments- payments-ot tax
es. There are those who contend
that such a plan is not practical IN
AGRICULTURAL countries. Whether or
not the contention is well-foundeo,
the proposed installment system, 1t is
argued, could be extended to all VINO
desire to avail themselves OF 1t with
out putting them to advantage over
those who prefer to pay or can pay
annually.
When he was in city council many
wears ago, the late Capt. PatrlcA
Armstrong stuck to it until ne nao
enacted the law now of force IN Au-
gusta on the manner of payment OF
taxes-that is, one half the hrst haiI
of the year and the other nall IN
two equal payments later in the
year-a half in April, a quarter IN
July and a quarter in October. :,
The arrangement proved most well
come to Augusta tax payers. We are
sure that a like arrangement on
county taxes would be likewise vel
coined. Let Gov.-elect Walker re-
member this when he e>undertakes the
Herculean task which will come oe'
fore him of readjusting the taxing
system of the state.
When the suggestion was made by
The Herald, we were not aware tna'
the installment plan had ever Deer
given a practical application in thl'
section of the country. 1t is inter
esting to note that the system prov
ed beneficial in Augusta. AS tn
Chronicle says, there might be some
objection on the part OF the agrlcui
tural interests to paying taxes quar-
terly. but, as the Chronicle adds, tn
plan as suggested by US, does not re
ouire the payment on the installmen
