MISS SANBORN READS
ESSAY BEFORE CLUB

To the Rotarians at their lunch
con Wednesday, George Riley spoke
of the necessity Of a permanent
camp in Americas, declaring that
one would be of great financial ad-
vantage to the community. He sug
gested that "The Dell' was an idea
place, that only lights, sewerage and
water was necessary.
On motion Of Carr Glover, pres
dent Walter Rylander viii appoint
committee of Rotarians to work
with the chamber Of commerce in
an endeavor to secure more tourists.
Mr.. Glover said that other com
munities, such as Albany and Thorn
asyille were after the tourists, rails
ing funds to attract them, and he
thought Americas should cooperate
with these other towns.
Bill Cage spoke of the great good
to be derived by the community
from the bringing in Of farming
families into the county. 'EVienna
and other smaller communities than
ours are at work and will have a
cotton mill before we do unless we
get busy" he said
J. A. Foster, of Fitzgerald, R. P,
Stackhouse, Eugene overly, Rus
sell Thomas William Mathis and
DR.. A. G. Primrose were guests of
Rotarians.
In introducing his grandson, VIII
liam Mathis, who has just returned
home from Emory, Prof. j. z.
Mathis said that the boys and girls
going to colleges from Americas
were fine, outstanding lot, that
they would make their mark and
would be credit to their home city,
that they were not of ''the flapper
class" and that the future is safe in
their hands,"
DR.. L. F. Grubbs was in charge
of the program and introduced w.
A. Joyner, who spoke or the sub
ject, what do you do more than
others"
He said too many men who rise
to place of Importance are salts
fled with themselves, pats theln-
selves OH the back and try to get
by with as little effort III the serv-
Ice of others as he could "get away
with.
Get the right thing to do, then go
and do it with all your might, he
said to the Rotarians. Do it a little
better than any one else has done
it, he said, do more than any other
man has ever done, if you would be
an outstanding success in your com
munity.
Too many of us try to get by
with the least where it should be
the most that we can do. You
must not only serve, but you must
serve more than others if your club
is to be success, he said.

HIGH SCHOOLS IN
GEORGIA GROWING
Enrolment Has Increased 355
Per Cent During Past 2 Years
Figures Disclose

ATHENS, June Enroll
ment in the high schools Of Geor-
gia has increased 355 per cent dur
in the past seven years, according
70 records compiled by DR.. r. P.
Brooks, alumni secretary of the Uni
yersity of Georgia. This remark
able growth has been due to the
leadership of the University o.
Georgia through its department of
Secondary Education, it is pointed
out.
DR.. Brooks has prepared a chart
which outlines the Euolber Of stu
dents in high schools Of Georgia in
1911-12 until the present year. In
.1911-12 there were from 1000 10
5000 students in the high schools
and this number has increased
steadily until 1929 there $4,000
students in Georgia high schools
The same chart shows the enroll
ment of students in the University
of Georgia since 1908 when five
hundred were registered until 1928
"a when slightly over 1906 stud
.ents were enrolled.
However, as favorable as this
Showing might be DIR. Brooks points
out that fewer high school grad
yates are entering the university
now than in 1911 in proportion to
the number graduated. The univer-
'sity can not accommodate the mum
Der that apply for admsson.

ABOARD THE S S. BEREN-
GARIA, Aug. $50 far the Prince
of Wales has foiled numerous debs
and doting mamas who rushed to
obtain passage on the boat on which
ne is sailing to America.
He hasn't danced or mixed in
other gaittes aboard the vessel, con-
tentin2 himself with long strolls on
the top deck He usually is &C
companied by General Trotter and
Captain I.ascelles. He sings to him
self on these strolls.
Sunday the Prince attended
church but did so inconspicuously
as possible He sat hidden behind
the choir and appeared restless
throughout the services. He peered
from the window from time to time
as though sizing up his travelling
companions, while the choir, made
up of bell boys and stewa rdesses
sang several numbers in his honor.
There is to be no let up in the
Princes athletic life. He has made
arrangements with the instructor Of
the gymnasium for daily exercises.
These will be in addition to the long
strolls on deck.
The Prince has been content with
a plain lounge suit so far on the trip,
even wearing 1t Saturday night
when he gave several American
girls a disappointment by glancing
into the crowded ball room and then
leaving without dancing.

Darrow began, When we find a
diseased mind we speculate on how
1t came about" Darrow said.
Let's take Dickie Loeb first. I
don't know how it happened. but I
do know that some combination of
things is responsible for the mad

lay my finger on 1t. but I'll do the

Too Much Opportunity
Loeb, Darrow said, was given too
much opportunity by wealth. OAR
row laid much stress on the influence
of Dickie's governess, who was with
him all the time.
The governess. Darrow said. drove
him along the line Of learning, fore
ing him to read books beyond his
years. Due to her severity and re-
straint, Loeb was forced to practice
subterfuge. In secret he read de-
tective stories day after day, even
up to the time he was a senior at
the University of Michigan. This
diet of crime stories made a pro-
found impression on his life
EARLY in his life he conceived the
idea that there could be a perfect

in his childish way that a crime
could be so perfectly planned that
there could be no detection. It could
involve kidnapping and murder"
In order to make 1t a perfect
crime, ransom entered into it. Oar

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-The Ku-
Klux Klan today threatened to re
main an Issue TO the end of the presi-
Dental campaign.
Even denunciation Of the Klan by
President Coolidge will come too late
now to head off the issue, in opinion
of Democratic leaders.
Instead of removing the Klan
from politics. the Sea girt speech Of
John W Davis. the Democratic
standard bearer, has had the effect
OF imbedding the issue more firmly
in the campaign. 1t was thrust
deeper by General Charles G. Dawes
by his Augusta speech.
A "Straddle"
Although Davis has no comment to
make on the Dawes speech, anti
Klan leaders are ridiculing Dawes
utterances as a "straddle." They
intend to capitalize it locally, no mat
ter what position Davis may be in.
They believe that it can be used eff
