Autumn Thoughts
Autumn colored, red and gold,
The leaves are falling very fast,
Summer is gone, grim winter is
coming
With its stern and icy blast.
The flowers have gone, the birds
have left us,
And the days have shorter grown.
Soon the frost will whiten all
things,
And the wind in the trees will
moan.
When outside it's cold and dreary
And the nights are long and chill,
We must try to be more CHEEKY,
And work and study with good
will.

Cabbages
In autumn when the frost had
come,
A little boy with fingers numb,
Was out in his garden looking at
the plants,
When something amidst his gloom
made him dance.
Frozen vegetables stood in the
rows,
But he said, Cone kind of plant
still grows.
A certain vegetable among all the
rest,
Was able to go through that terri
BILE test.
Answer me now. Do you think
you can guess
Which plant in his garden
Could stand frost the best?

FRANK SHEFFIELD OBJECT

In discussing the necessity of a
bond issue for the erection OF
new high school and enlarging the
negro school, Prof. ]. E. Mathis, SUI
perintendent Of schools, said:
"The Southern Association of Col
leges in fixing a standard for ac-
yates will be allowed to enter these
crediting high schools whose grad
colleges on certificates, expressly
stiplate as one of the conditions, that
no high school teacher shall have
class of more than thirty pupils.
"Nobody has fixed any rules for
the conduct of Grammar schools;
therefore the containing walls has
been the limit for the number of pu-
pills in class. However, if it stands
to reason that thirty pupils shalkbe
the maximum for high school class
of children, who are expected to be
somewhat self-directing; surely,
surely, in all the grades below the
high school no teacher should have
more.
Too Many Pupils Now.
"Your high school has too many pu-
pills now for the room and space out
there, and three rooms at Furlow
school, but have an excess of thirty,
with an outhouse requisitioned to
take care of the then overflow.
81 do not believe there is day
spent in that building that it is not
positively hurtful to the children's
eye, it is so improperly lighted.
"With a new high school building,
our housing would be ideal. The sixth
and seventh grades could be organic
ed into junior high school, the
modern idea, separated from the
smaller children, as they should be,
and quartered in the present high
school building. This would complete
our building program for at least 20
years.
"They are your childden. You
must decide what their chance in the
future race of life shall be, by the
opportunity you give them now.
"There is the need. The next
thing to decide is, "will the money
when voted be judiciously adminis-
tered
Schools Not Burden
"Your schools have never been an
excessive burden on the taxpayers,
but on the other hand, they have
been since their organization most
conservatively managed. Yet they
have maintained a creditable rank.
They are on the accredited list with
our state colleges; on southern ac-'
credited list ard on that of the U. S.
Military Academy at West Point. A.
splendid showing, with the means at
hand, for they have never exceeded
the chartered provision.

port of the cost per pupil in Georgia
schools, the following have been TAX
