TEACHERS CONSTANTLY
KEEP WELL INFORMED.

In proportion to the amount
Of money they receive in salaries,
teachers travel more than the
members of any other profession.
This travelling, as is a well known
fact, is often done under finan-
cial difficulties. The city of Tulsa,
Okla, has hit upon a novel meth
cd to aid teachers and at the same
time encourage travel, and the
same plan might work well in
cities like Americas. Every third
year a teacher is paid his or her
full salary during the vacation
period providing the major portion
Of it is spent in travel of a GER
tain nature calculated to inn
prove the teacher for classroom
work,
1t is needless to explain that
there are certain moderate and
reasonable conditions to be met.
Before departing on such a tour
the teacher must submit to the
superintendent an outline of the
proposed trip and how he proposes
to benefit thereby in an educa-
tional way. On his return the
teacher must make a written re-
port ON the educational features
that may be used in making up
library travelogs for the school
children Al copy of this report
remains as the permanent possess
sion of the school. Although not
required, the teachers are encour-
aged to prepare lectures on what
they have seen for the pupils and
for community gatherings.
, Since the system has been put
into practice it is said a large
percentage of Tulsas teachers
have taken advantage of it, travel
ing over North America and
many of the countries in Europe.
Naturally these teachers. have
-broadened by their experiences
and in turn they will impart much
of their experiences to their pu-
pills, Tulsa should know the world
pretty well by this time.

JUDGE PRAISES
GEORGIA EDITOR.

The Wiregrass Farmer, of Ash
burn, Turner county, Of which Joe
Lawrence is editor, has received
unusual recognition from the pre-
siding judge of superior court of
that circuit--a high tribute to the
paper both as a news and an adj
vertising medium.
The Wiregrass Farmer carried
In recent issue two and half
pages of solid advertising for the
county ordinary's office. This
patronage, it appears, was encour-
aged by the suggestion made by
Judge Eve, in his charge, praised
the paper for the good work it
had done in establishing diversi-
tied farming and in bringing
new prosperity n the county, in The
path fboll weevil destruction.
Newspaper editors in all Sec
tons of the State unhesitatingly
declare that the reference to this
enterprising Georgia weekly was
timely and deserved for no two
men have been more instrumental
in making the Turner county
plan" success at home than have
Joe Lawrence, editor, and r. NJ.
Tyson business manager, and joint
owners Of the Wlregrass Farmer.
They have backed George T. Belts,
president Of the Georgia Associa-
ton in his constructive program
in every particular; in fact Joe
Lawrence might rightly be called
the father of diversified farming
: IN his section Of State.
A strong point in Judge Ewes
charge, applicable to all State
papers, was that "the price to be
paid for this county Advertising
service be left to the ordinary and
the publishers to agree upon"

She sailed from and returned to
the Washington navy yard and de-

ashore handbags, trunks and

spied upon or querried about by
the inquisitive revenue or prohi-

Wherefore, out of the 20 mem

newspaper correspondents who
made the trip on the Henderson
the large majority took advantage
of the opportunity, so it is said,
to bring in, for medical or other
purposes, liquor and other stimuli

consciences and pocketbooks.
One of the best informed of the
junketeers is authority for the
statement that there were just five
men in the party who did not bring
in at least a few bottles of booze.
One member of Congress had an
entire trunk full, they say. An
other was reported to have re-
turned with three trunks more
than he started with.
Junketeqrs who did not care
for the liquors or who gould not
bring their consciences to permit
of their playing rum-runners on a
government vessel got milder
thrill by loading up at Havana with
fine cigars which came Though

duty.

try to set such an example for
the rest of the common folks to
follow. We have come to wonder
not more laws are broken than
there are when men higher up can
break them with impunity.

"The average South Georgia
farmer has not fully come into his
own, but he is well on the way. He
is no longer a one-crop or all
cotton man, but is learning to d.
versify his crops and isalso learn
his product. And as a rule you
will find that the South Georgia
