MISS ILAH BURCH
THALEAN PRINCIPAL
Dublin Woman Selected to Head
Consolidated High School
Near Americas

The trustees of Thalean Consoli-
dated school, located five miles
west of Americas today elected
Miss uah Burch of Dublin as prin-
cipal. There were a hundred ap-
pIicants for the position.
Teachers all over the southwest
sent in their petitions for this
place, said a member of the board
today, but Miss Burch was elected
because of her peculiar fitness for
the position. Miss Burch is a
graduate of Georgia Normal at
Millidgeville.
Since her graduation she has
taken a special course in normal
training at Athens and two years
at Columbia University, New York.
She has taught school since taking
her degree two years. The recon-
mendations of Miss Burch are most
flattering for the schools prospects
for another year.
The trustees have delayed elect
ing a principal as they were de-
termined to secure the services of
one best equipped and qualified to
make this school the greatest sue
cess.

TEXAS COMMISSIONER
WANTS UNIT 0RM LAWS
Uniformity of Action, He Says,
Would Aid Cotton Growers
of Southern States

ATLANTA, Aug. 2O.-Uniform-
ity in action by southern states in
activities designed for the welfare
of cotton growers is proposed in a
statement received by the commits
sioner of agriculture of Georgia,
from Commissioner Charles E.
Baughman, of Texas. The proposal
has been approved in principle by
Commissioner Brown, he stated.
For many years the several
states, the federal government and
the producing interests Of the coun-
try, have been busy in the matter
of working out plans that would be
beneficial to the producer Mr..
Baughman wrote, yet this work
seems in a very large measure to
have been Independent, the one Of
the other.
Il am enclosing herewith a cir
cular letter. 1t is my candid and
honest opinion that if We can I'M
dertake and put over a plan look
ing to the uniformity Of action on
the part of the state government
in line with the activities Of the
producing element, we can, indeed,
render a service worthwhile; there
fore, your careful attention to the
matter presented in this circular
will be very much appreciated, and
hope that we may have an early
reply from you with a frank state
ment of your own ideas about
same"
In his QUESTIONABLE, Mr.. Baugh-
man proposes;
Il We should have uniform
warehouse acts, all state acts to
conform to the federal act.
90 We need uniform graders
and cIassers acts, providing for the
licensing of classers and graders in
order that the producer may secure
these services at nominal expense.
"3 We should have uniform state
rural credits acts, also patterned
after the federal acts.
"a We need uniform laws relat-
ing to the ginning industry.
"5 We need uniform system
in the Standardization of grades
and classes Of all agriculture
products.
IS We need an educational
campaign to inform the people
along the line Of closer co-opera.

state and national Let the people

by these agencies for the benefit
