SYSTEMATIC SAFETY
STUDIES

Chicago is instituting thorough
and classified study of Safety as a
part of the public school curriculum
While graded the study is not introdu
ced as separate branch but is rath-
err systematic direction of attention
to the subject of safety and correlated
with other studies. Beginning with
the first grade the study will be
made adaptable and continuous, thru
Jingles and slogans, classroom games,
dramatization and debates; also some
i statistical information introduced in
the studies of arithmetic, grammar.
and geography will give incidental EN-
phasis to accidents that might be pre-
ventable. Through the fall term at
tention will be given to street dang
ers, fires and weapons; the next three
months to burns, scalds, asphvxiation
and electricity; and from March to
June railway accidents, falls, careless
ness in play and drowning.

FACTS IN THE HISTORY OF ROAD BUILD

lNG-Good roads were first built by the more &C
tive and prosperous towns or townships. The large
centers OF population attracted the road traffic OF
adjacent communities. Such traffic did not help build
or MAINTAIN the roads it partly DESTROYED This
destruction resulted in demand for county appro-
priatlons for road building The moneys were first
distributed among the towns or townships on some
agreed plan, and were spent by them, or under the
JOINT authority OF county officials Under these
conditions most of such money went into politics
and not into roads, and there was no uniformity in
construction or care.
| AS result there reaction in favor of county
roads built and maintained by the county officials
lhen and only then, did the bulk of such aDproDri-
atons get into roads, and there was beginning of
efficiency and uniformity.
But history repeated itself The more active and
prosperous counties built and maintained good roads
These were again destroyed by the traffic from
adjacent counties This traffic did not help bui1d
or care tor the roads it DESTROYED There followed
state wide demand for state appropriations toward
road building. Again history repeated itself in the
form OF state aid to the counties and towns to be
spent by them, or under joint authority of the state
officials. And again most of such moneys went
into politics and not into roads, and lack of efficen
cy and uniformity persisted
AS result of this waste, history once more re-
peated itself, and there demand for state high
ways built and maintained by the state under its
highway commission. Efficiency and uniformity
were the result, and the moneys went into roads
TENS have three-fold system, each under the ex
elusive jurisdiction of its properly constituted att
thortles This has produced the largest mileage Of
good roads for the least enxpenditure 1t has
brought efficiency and uniformity out of chaos and
the money has gone into roads.
Why not four-fold system, with the Nation do
ing for states what the states have done for coun
ties, and the counties for townships?
BY this four-fod system Of roads there will be an
impetus as yet unthought of, given to road building
throughout the Nation Authority and responsibility
will be logically and economically divided and fixed
without conflict arising. Uniformity and efficiency
will be established Standards of construction and
maintenance will be raised. The entire Nation will
be given Good Roads Everywhere" by well-bal-
anced, connected system of National State county,
and Town Highways reaching out to the most re-
mote parts They will be built in the shortest pos
slble time and with the utmost economy The mon
ey will get into roads, where it belongs, and the
cost will be equtably distributed upon those com
minutes best able to bear the burden. In other
words, the farmer will thus get what he needs and
what he wants.

ASKING FOR A NEW
CABINET OFFICER

The large organizations of women
throughout the country are asking the
president by petition to create a de-
partment of education with a secretary
in the cabinet. At present all education
al activities of the federal government
are carried on through seven of the
ten executive departments, which ar
rangement does not give education the
recognition that is commensurate with
its supreme Importance to the nation.
All the other countries of similar rank
with ours has such a department and
this fact gives emphasis to the re-
quest. The same national committee
that is working for this federal de-
partment is also waging a campaign
through subcommittee in the various
states for the Legislative endorsement
of the Demonstrating bill, when it
is enacted by Congress as it is fully
expected to be-

MRS. w. T. MORELAND

Though she had been absent in per-
son for many months from her Fitz-
gerald friends, the news of the death
of Mrs. w. T. Moreland gave them
poignant sense of loss, as during her
three years residence in Fitzgerald,
Mrs. Moreland had won the high es-
teen and cordial affection of all The
persons fortunate to come within the
range of her wonderful sympathy and
influence. She was the organizer and
the teacher of the T. E. L. class of
the Baptist Church during ali the
time of her residence here and in ev-
sort of church activity or any uplft
work was a leader or a counsellor.
Her health was not good at any,
time but was not made an excuse for
leaving undone anything of helpful
nature that came within her vision.
Ever since April first, again living
in her old home at Columbia, S. c.,
she had been most active teaching a
Philathea class numbering $50 in the
First Baptist Church there. She had
also been weekly visitor and speaker
to the women inmates OF the state pris-
on at Columbia.
Just preceding her fatal illness she
was making visit of several weeks at
Asheville, N c., the guest of Mrs. D.
B. Ware. Seized by an acute stage of
her malady, an internal cancer, she
was taken to the hospital for an oper-
alton which resulted in her death on

GOVERNOR WALKER SHOWS WISDOM

Governor Walker has demonstrated his sincerity
in his effort for tax reform in Georgia by the ex-
Ceent selection of the commission to submit a
plan to the Legislature called by the Governor for
that purpose to meet in November Few men in
Georgia are better qualified to advise the Legis-
iature than those who have consented to serve on
this important advisory board each of whom has
the confidence of the public. Industry agricul-
ture, business and the press is represented the
commission by men recognized throughout Geor-
gla successful leaders in their spheres who have
in many instances in the past proven themselves
capable of putting public interests above their own
personal advantage.
We expect to see these men present to the Leg
islature model tax law which will in a large meas
ure remedy the existing fiscal situation OF the state
and more equally distribute the burden of taxation
at the same time raising enough money to meet
the ordinary expenses of the state and enable the
Governor to make good the Democratic platform
pledge for free school books for the common
schools of Georgia.

FROM ONE EXTREME TO
THE OTHER

The extensive areas of unoccupied
land connected with the DUPONT ex-
plosive plants in different parts of the
United States are to become game
preserves and bird sanctuaries. Some
have already been stocked and the re-
malnder, totalling more than 10000
acres in "a separate locations, will be
immediately supplied with insectivor
Gus birds, the land in most cases being
wooded and otherwise adapted to
such use. Thus the centers once of
deadly purport to human existence be
come the sanctuaries for bird and ami
NAL life.

schools closed two weeks earlier in

shortage of seats what other facilities
may not also be lacking for the best

overcrowding although other buildings

classes temporarily. Atlanta? Well that
