Gus schools are being continued up
on the accredited list of the Univer-
. s.ty Of Georgia only through GER
tain questionable methods Of report
ing and that these could not be con-
tinued indefinitely.
Competent teachers, too, Mr..
Dykes said, are in growing demand,
and if the schools are to retain the
experienced and able instructors
they now have, or secure others
equally competent, provision must
be made TO pay salaries equal to
chose offered elsewhere.
Mr.. Dykes then said that the
Board of Education was anxious to
agree with city council on a bill to
be presented the legislature during
It's session next month, but that ii
council could not or would not agree
to give that body the 8 mills tax it
needs, and the board demands, that
the board would have it's own bill
prepared and introduced.
In saying this, Mr. Dykes express
ed the opinion that the citizens and
taxpayers of Americas want the
schools to continue to function in
the future as they have in the past,
and that they are willing to pay
whatever sum may be necessary to
maintain their present standard Of
efficiency and excellence. The
board, he said, was SO strongly con
vinced upon this point that they
stood ready to 90 before the people

TRIBUTE TO FAMOUS
'FORTY-NINE' MINERS

Money taIks-the banks realize
this fully as much as the rest Of the
world, for the tenth folder of the
Natural Resources" series Of the
Empire Bank of Americas deals with
gold and silver and is fttingly called
The Language Of Commerce.
The real service of the Forty
Miners" and those who took part in
other gold rushes, it is points out,
goes far beyond the discovery of the
yellow metal that was the object of
their frenziod dash for new terri
.ories. Every gold rush" to quote
from the article, has marked an eX-
pansi0n that has been benefit in
other ways than mining, and far in
excess Of the value Of the gold pro
ducaa." This is notably true in the
case of the famous Gold Rush of
40, with its attendant and, subse-
uuent migrations from the East to
the West, resulting in the opening
up of the great middle western ag-
ricuItural regions. Alaska, too, it
points out, owes much of its produc-
tive development to the discovery OF
its gold fields.
Of equal Importance with the a%-
ricultural development and the set
Element Of new territories that fol-
lowed in the wake of the gold eX-
plorations, has been the discovery
fthe other metals such as copper
and iron, which have proved an even
greater source of wealth than the
gold and the silver which is unusual
ly found in the same ore.
The article justifes the name 1t
has given these two metals The
Language of Commerce" in its ex-
PLANTATION of their use to set the
standard Of money value.

PLENTY OF L0GTC. IN UPWARD MOVE

 NEW YORK. Nov. l5.-While not displaying any remarkable eharac- Aristics. Thursdays stock market lave evidence of continued strength. here are still those who regard the present upward movement as of q petty character, and they may be right. but it seems to have good foundation with plenty of logic on its side.

There is not likely to be a buyers strike where prices are legitimate even if they are high. The margin Of profit in industrial products Is too small.

PHILLIPS LEAVES FOR 'NOOGA TOWN.
Team Changed For Game With Central High
 Eleven

The Phillips High football team is on its way to Chattanooga for the game with Central High of Chatta- nooga in Chattanooga this afternoon. The team has had only two practices since the game with Duval High in Jacksonville, Fla, Monday, and both of these were light, being nearly all signal work, and the practice on de- fense against the forward pass, such as the Chattanooga team used against the Ensley Yellow Jackets in their game here some time ago.
 The Phillips team came out of the Duval game in very good shape, hay ing received no injuries worth men tioning, and is in pretty good condi- tion for the game with the Chatta- nooga boys today.
 Several of the players are nursing injuries that have been with them for some time, but none of them of such serious nature as to keep them out of the game or to material ly hinder their playing ability.
 The lineup will be considerably different for this game from what 1t has been in the early part of the season and even from what 1t was in Mondays game. Big Jim Smith, the most experienced man on the squad and one who has been one of the most consistent players among high school boys in this part of the south, has been shifted from his old place at center to full and will probably start the game at that position today.
 Gravlee has been shifted to half and Captain Holder is at quarter. Dye will be at center, and if Bartlett is not able to start Bostick will be at left tackle.
 The following mon make up the squad on this trip: Holder captain i; Smith, J.; Smith, M; Anderson, San ford, Williamson, Dye. Bowden, Strickland, Hoster, .McArthur, Full bright, Bostick. Hunt. Jaffe, w. Gravlee, R. Gravlee, Bartlett and Cranford.

AT THE LYRIC

Bob Knapp and Cris Caralla pres enting a Pot Pouri of Vaudeville" seemed to please Thursdays audience at the Lyric better than did any of the other four Keith acts. One would judge from the clever presentation these fellows offer and the hearty response it received that the wholly rediculous in vaudeville is preferred. Comedians of their type, however, do not appear every day. These two are rediculously funny without being of fensive.
 Ben Meyer opens with cycle rid ing number staged much after the style of many other similar acts. Meyer, howev1r, offers several new riding stunts enhanced by his clown makeup.
 'The old Timer" with Walter Daniels and Minna Walters is a some what new departure in vaudeville. Miss Walters is one of the most all together pleasing actresses the Lyric has offered. Her accomplishments in- clude good looks, an exceptional voice and mastery of the violin. Daniels is good comedian and proved able, should necessity arise. to portray a somewhat heavier role.
 "Sweethearts" differed from the average act of it's kind in that it fulfills a promise they all make. It's principals can sing. Three pretty girls do. not detract the least bit from the act.
 Love La Carte" offers a. pleas should be rated among the better of late offerings. Its music Is good and it's dancing equally so. The scenic eff fects and costumes add distinctly to the act. The usual picture reels are shown.-R. w. K.
