The British government struck a
snag recently by permitting a port
wine advertisement to appear in the
little pocket stamp books which are
passed out over the postoffice coun-
tiers.
The National Temperance Fedora
ton, which has branches in every
town and city throughout the coun-
try, has protested vigorously to the
Postmaster General and makes the
point that government property
should not be used for propaganda
purposes for alcoholic liquors. The
foes of drink called attention to a
similar attempt three years ago to
use the postoffice as an advertising
medium for intoxicants and it was
argued that there are more tax pay
ers today who are in favor of pro-
hbition than there were three years
ago.
The Postmaster General has the
complaint under consideration and
will make known his decision next
month. Meanwhile the little stamp
books are being sold by hundreds Of
thousands every week.

When man has reached scarcity

LET'S GO TO MACON!
EDUCATIONAL MEET

The enrolment in the Georgia Edu-
cation Association is growing in leaps
and bounds. | am sure that we shall
reach seven thousand this year. his
great militant host of teachers organ
lied to develop educational sentiment
in Georgia means much to the State
and to the childhood OF our section.
Lut it will mean a great deal more II
a large percentage shall get the intor-
nation and the inspiration which will
come from the assembling of these
teachers at Macon. The individual
teacher in Georgia must realize his or
her responsibility for educational con-
ditions in the State. 1t is not enough
that we shall join the association. we
must attend and throw the strength
OF our influence for lettering the con-
dition of the teachers in the State OF
Georgia. Responsibility for educational
conditions must rest in the final an
alysis with the teachers.
The poorly paid teacher, as well as
the teacher in the centers OF popula-
ton must arouse himself and exert his
energies to better conditions. Sacrifices
must be made in order to attend the
sessions of the Georgia Education AS
ISOLATION. 1t may be that salaries are
so meager that teachers cannot attend.
In this case, the Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation and Boards of trustees should
see that their teachers are provided
with means to attend this convention.
1t is a good thing to enrol. 1t is an
inspiring thing to realize our teachers
are enrolling 100 per cent from cities
and counties. Congratulations and ap-
probation for this splendid effort and
achievement. But let's go one step fur
Their: Let's all go to Macon. A wond-
erful program has been prepared. A
great legislative committee has been
appointed. Everything points to for
ward step for education in Georgia.
Will you as Superintendent, as Prin-
cipal and as teacher do your part by
attending these meetings, and carrying
back to your legislators and to your
community the information and inspir-
alton that shall stir them to action?"
Lets all Go To Macon"

TO STUDY THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR

.
OUR COUNTRY-E ldridgc r. Johnson Of Cam
den, N /. has ordered 10000 copies Of brochure,
The Constitution of the United States" by Hon.
James NJ Beck to which President Coolidge has
written ioreword, a strong appeal for the IN
strument which has thus far meant so much to
the development of free institutions IN this coun-
try and to the protection of the fundamental rights
of it's people The duty of its citizens however
includes a complete respect for the enforcement
of its provisions and loyal support Of each of
its amendments Mr. Johnson proposes to dis
tribute the 10000 copies among the schools of the
country, where the Constitution should be taught
and especial emphasis be placed on living up to its
provisions,
President Coolidge Says: at is of Importance
that the study of the Constitution should be an
essential part Of education of American youth.
"Mr Beck has been recognized for many years
as an authority on our fundamental law. He is a
lawyer of broad culture and wide learning. He
has not only acquaintance with the practical
side of law from experience at the bar, but, as a
student, has deep insight into the theory of our
institutions In private practice and solicitor
general of our United States he has had that in
innate contact with laws which is the best
foundation for a sound understanding of their spr-
it, their truth, and their wisdom He understands
the practical application Of the Constitution to &C
tua affairs OF life.
'While we can not all be trained in the techni-
calitics of the law, we should all have some idea
of our fundamental institutions. We need to know
their relationship to daily life, the reasons for
their existence the benefits we derive from them
and necessity to ourselves for their perpetuaton
We must know that the court is our court
THE Constitution is not self-perpetuating. If it
is to survive it will be because it has public sup
port. Such support is not passive but an act
i've operation. 1t means making adequate sacrifice
to maintain what is Of general benefit.
"The Constitution of the United States is the
final refuge of every right that is enjoyed by any
American citizen. So long as it is observed, those
rights will be secure. Whenever it falls into dis
respect or disrepute, the end of orderly govern
ment as we have known it for more than 125 years
will be at hand. The Constitution represents a
government of law. There is only one other au-
thority and that is government OF force. Amer
leans must make their choice between these two
One signifies justice and liberty; the other tyr
amy and oppression. To live under the American
Constitution is the greatest political privilege that
was ever accorded to the human race

now in Georgia than in the New Eng

Wood of the State College of Agrcul
ture, yet they spend thousands OF dol

gia comparatively nothing. Coopera
