THE GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR
GIRLS

Y DO not believe the average citizen of
| Georgia has ever really comprehended
A the fine morale of this state institution.
If they had comprehended it's necessity at
any time during the dozen years of its exist
ence there would have been greater efforts to
enlarge the scope of it's usefulness
Before this school was founded in 1913,
any girl who had to be disciplined by the
courts or considered needful to be detained
as Witness forcibly was carried to the
nearest Jail and kept in more or less contact
with all sorts of jail inmates Along in the
SOS two white women in the city of Column
bus, Ga. were sentenced to labor the
streets of the city to carry out the sentence
of the court, with black criminals
In my own town girl under eighteen was
detained in the county jail as witness and
had to be kept in the common confines
of prisoners, black and white, and forced to
use the same sanitary cOnveniences. Some
of us temperance women had a committee
appointed, and we went to the Jail and had
the girl sheltered with the family of the
jailer, so far as her employment and sleep
ing quarters want.
Now We have fairly good start with this
training school for girls disciplined by the
court, and it is woodworking affair to
be sure, | have been one of the directors
from the start, and III wager any reasonable
amount that those who visit and understand
the fine influences that prevail will never fail
to say, What wonderful charity! How
far-reaching and genuine as to helpful re-
suits" Last Saturday we held a quarterly
meeting in the largest building the
grounds. We had as an earnest visitor, Dr..
Hart, who has been for years the president
of the Russell Sage Foundation for taking
care of deinquents and he had many good
words for US The directors receive no pay
perhaps the only unpaid directorate in the
state of Georgia-and all politics there
fore kept out. HI said these patriotic un-
paid directors in other states had been extra
good, also. When you next go to Atlanta,
examine the telephone directory and make a
friendly visit of inspection and kind words

IEGE In MILI4EDGENIILE

II OR a good many years / have felt keen
n interest in this great school. | may
truthfully say | was actively interested
in the endeavOr to secure the institution to
the girls Of Georgia in it's very inception and
before.
| have visited it several times and always
came away with thankful heart that Geor-
STA girls had such an opportunity to make
good, even the boys have had opportunity
for more than hundred years at the State
University. 1t was a long time between the
founding of these two state educational insti-
buttons, but the difference between the two
has leSsened until both are deemed invalua-
bic to the state of Georgia for real educa-
ton. The burning of the very large admin
istration building is. in measure, a serious
calamity not easy to reckon with to relief
and rebuilding at once. The insurance on
the building is about one-third it's actual
value, short-sighted policy and very en-
barrassing one considering the public debt
which afaicts all the business of the state
unhappily.
The state should always insure it's own
property. The amount of insurance is insig-
nifcant compared to the opportunity for re-
building after the 'burnings over.
There is a heavy loss in typewriters and
a fearful loss with fifty pianos in the ashes
But the school authorities are among the
best in the state for pluck and energy to
meet such conditions. There will be every
effort used to keep the college in full action,
for the sake of the girls to whom this edu-
cation means so much at this time. If !
could recall twenty years of my life | would
be ready to join in the crusade to beg the
people who have surplus money to give or
loan at low interest.

Morg For Cotton Producers

~ EcEIPT by the Georgia Cotton Grow
* ers' Cooperative association of its
hundred thousandth bale from this sea-
sons crop was of great interest to those who
have watched the development of the pool
ing idea in this state. 1t means that the CO.
operative marketing association has made
tremendous stride in the two and one-half
years that it has been functioning, stride
which many at the start believed to be i'm
possible.
In the first year of its existence the
ear 10000 were handled. This season 1t
appears likely that the total will be between
10000 and 5000.
The increase over all of last season al
ready amounts to nearly fifty per cent
This foreshadows substantial reduction in
the cost per bale of handling the members
cotton. 1t further means a stronger infu-
ence toward stabilizing the price of the
south's premier agricultural comm odity and
ers-who most deserve it--a larger share
of the eventual sales price
That is the fundamental aim of the cot
ton marketing associations. They do not
seek to accomplish the impossibe-that is,
to raise the price above the level which
must always be fixed by free working of
do seek to do and what they can do is:
First-To prevent losses which will re-
suit from the selling of cotton at the dump
ing period when the years supply must be
absorbed within three or four months.
Secondly more direct selling to give
to the producer that share of the eventual
price to the spinners which formerly has
gone to innumerable middlemen, each of
whom has taken his profit in the journey of
the bale from gin to jenny.
There is a third accomplishment possible
and already matter of demonstration. The
pooling Of cotton for gradual sale through
out the season has bouyant effect price.

100000 bales, something like 100000
bales or one-tenth, has been withheld from
the market at the dumping period--that is
the three months orr so during which most
of the rest of the crop has been sold by the
producer at whatever price he could obtain
from village buyers. This one-tenth Of the
crop itself will bring an average price for
the season, since it will have bee1 sold grad
ually and in orderly fashion. 1t was dem
nitely removed from the market when the
season opened, aud the trade generally in
computing the amount of the crop that
would be pressing for sale during Septem-
ber-Octo ber-November subtracted that one
tenth from its guess as to the amount of
the total crop. Hence, with the proba blity
of 1900, 000-bale crop, it was known
fact tina. the Immediately forthcoming
amount for sale was less than 100000
bales. How many points or how many cents
the crop added TO the price can never be
more than conjecture, but certainly the
be that non-members will see that while
they now are prcfting because of the CO.
operatives, they can profit a great deal more
by selling their own product through the
