FROM THEM THAT
HATH NOT

From them that hath not shall be
taken away even that which thew
have This must be the permeatinc
thought of those legislators who would
take away the agricultural schoolsof
Georgia at this time. Surely no one
thinks that the agricultural interests of
this state are sufficiently served even
Wi'h these district colleges doing as
effective work as they are everywhere
acclaimed to be doing. This is an ayr
cultural state and the business has
hardly yet been touched as it will ul-
tmately be, but it will be sooner by
the aid of these schools and all Other
possible educational means. The alter
native of county agent or of voca-
tional teacher for agriculture in
central high school in every county
might be weighed with some distinct
advantages in the latter plan, for
young men and boys will easier learn
at school and demonstrate more read
lily to their elders new methods and
scientific facts about their work than
can the county agent dealing with the
farmers of settled ways and opinions.
But let us add to, not subtract from,
our present facilities for making our
boys and girls OF Georgia fitted to the
work OF bringing the largest possible
results from our natural wealth OF soil
and climate, affording themselves
well-earned livelihood and bringing
prosperity to their communities.

THE NEGRO AS A

Claiming the negro spirituettes as
American folk songs, along with In
dian music which is of another distinct
class, it might sometimes seem that
the American people were disposed to
appropriate something not altogether
their own. An editorial in the Atlanta
Journal would seem to substantiate
the claim by the following: The

JUDGE CRUM coMMENDs ON RURAL
SCHOOLS-Judge d. A. r. Crum in his charge
20 the Grand Jury Monday, took special occasion
TO refer to the progressveness of Fitzgerad's
fuDlic school system, which has been in operation
now twenty-six years and which has furnished
iree school books to all of its pupils white and
colored, throughout the eleven grades of the city
SCHOOLS Judge Crum went extensively into the
condition OF the rural schools of the county and
gave some interesting statistics, which no doubt
was mostly new information to the grand Jurors
as well as the large number of citizens in the
court room at the time. Judge Crum stated in
part:
When your county was created IN 1907 the
entire revenue for that year went to the parent
counties and neither the schools of your county
nor the administrative part of the county had any
funds with which to start housekeeping The earl
lest records show that the schools outside of Fitz-
gerald at that time consisted of eighteen noOrlv
constructed school houses with practically no
equipment. No definite data is available for the
first years of the countys school system Begin
ning IN 1915, the record shows that there were Is
white teachers employed at an average salary OF
S48 per month for men and $50 for women, with
an enrolment OF 1000 pupils and daily average
attendance of about 500 During 1915 500 was
spent by the Board for equipment and 81 Ol6 for
new buildings The income consisted of S82l5
from the state and $500 from the county for
school purposes. From 1915 to 1920 the county
id state funds increased from $4,000 to $4,000,
but even this increase was not in proportion to the
advance IN teachers salaries the cost of equipment
or buildings material In 1922 the county shows
1t had 81 white teachers at an average salary of
$9l& Tor men and sos for women teachers The
enrolment had reached the number of 1900 with
daily attendance of 1900 white children
AS Judge Crum states, settlers Of desirable
class OF czens, can best be attracted through good
schools in the rural districts and whatever if NAV
cost to the property owners, to secure the full
school term and competent teachers, is well in
vested and will bring large returns in increased
property values and better citizenship
Judge Crum is to be commended upon this fea-
ture OF his charge to the Grand Jury

the payments come due
There are approximately $50 water
users on the project paid in full to

hind. making total of l,500 who, we
may judge, are reasonably successful
OF the total number OF water users.
1900 are more than one year behind
in their payments. Sixty-hve per cent
OF the farm units on the project have
changed hands one or more times, and
Is per cent of the units are occupied
by tenants; and 1900 acres show an
indication of seepage to such an ex-
tent as to make drainage necessary.
THE most desirable results to be
obtained on this project may be real
lied, it would seem. by a reaffirmation
OF a steadfast purpose to redeem ev-
cry obligation to the government, and
thereby reinstate confidence and make
possible a program of construction
and development. Farm lands in this
project should be made desirable to
the homeseeker. which in itself would
attract an influx of new settlers. This,
it would seem, is not only desirable.
but necessary. New settlers create
new opportunities. new opportunities
create greater development. and de-
velopment creates prosperity. Now.
il would seem, is the opportune time
to set in motion the engines of pro-
gress. and nothing will contribute to
this end more than a firm and deter
mined purpose to demonstrate to the
members of congress that their con-
idence in the Boise project was not,
md will not be. misplaced.

ect may be considered as pioneers in
