A Splendid Meeting

The Third Ward 2. T. A. is GER
tainly keeping pace with the progress
and rapid strides being made through
out South Georgia. The enthusiasm
of the times is being reflected in this
important organization and the wei
fare of the city's boys and girls Is
being carefully looked after.
Yesterday afternoon another unuS-
ually large gathering of mothers and
visitors marked the February meeting
and the 29th anniversary of Found
ers' Day.
A short, but highly satisfactory
business session followed, presided
over by Mrs. Denmark.
The Third Grade mothers were
hostesses, Mrs. Charles Garwood, The
official grade mother, being chair
man. Most delicious hot tea will
loaf sugar and lemon was passed
along with dainty, crisp lady fingers
The Third Ward P. T. A. is upland
doing, and making history to be re
ferred to in coming years.
The meeting was opened by tn
president, Mrs. A. H. Denmark, ant
turned over to Mrs. E. J. Dormirey
who had the program in charge. Tht
opening number group OF songs
by the pupils of the First Grade witt
Mrs. E. E. Justice at the piano, was
exceedingly enjoyable, as were yhe
exercises by the pupils of the sixth
grade, concentrating the twenty
ninth anniversary of the P. T. A.
Mrs. Jas. F.. Singleton made an ex-
cellent talk along the lines of the p.
T. A. in welfare work for the pupil
and the school.

FIRST WARD P. T. A.

The program opened with several
pleasing songs, and exercises by Miss
Forrester's Second grade. Rev. c. S.
Cliff, of the Central Methodist
Church, gave a scripture reading and
prayer, and then in an especially
graphic way discussed the subject of
"Illiteracy in Georgia. The subject,
though repellant one, was so lucidly
treated as to make a profound i'm
preston on the hearers and later on
was productive of generous contri-
button by the members to the litter
acy fund being handled by volun-
teer state commission from the ranks
of the P. 7. Associations of Georgia.
Letters are being written the leg
islators of the state to take some eff
fective means to obliterate this stain
of illiteracy which puts Georgia so
low in the scale from an educational
standpoint. Rev. CLIFF presented
the contrasting figures of California
spending $3.50 per capita on educa-
ton with 4 per capita wealth of $500,
and Georgit spending $4.55 per capita
on education with per capita wealth
of 1894. From this difference in lib
crafty toward education Rev. Olliff
was led to scriptural inference cit
ing Proverbs II: "a, There Is that
scattereth, and yet increaseth to pow
erty." The relation of ignorance and
crimes was also stressed, showing
Georgia's crimes to be eight times
more in number than New York's.
Natural resources are not enough to
make a state great, neither wealth
nor education because all of these
may be wrongly used. 1t is right
eousness and integrity that will de-
termine the real power of any state
or nation. The remedy for Georgia S
present status lies in the hands of the
legislature to make larger appropria-
tions for schools and for roads so
that education may be more available
to the masses. Our nation. too, is not
above reproach in the amount spent
for education. In one year around
1900 million was spent on education
and 1,S47 million for tobacco alone,
one of many luxuries our people in
dulge in. The association is grateful
to Rev. Olliff for his Illuminating
talk.
During the business session pro-
sided over by the president, Mrs.
G. W. Turner it was decided to hold
a rock tournament to raise some more
money for P. T. A. uses. Mrs. Abe
Kruger, Mrs. w. E. Hoyle and Mrs.
J. Kassewitz with Mrs. Deese, OF the
Ways and Means Committee, were APP
pointed to take charge.
The second grade mothers were
hostesses, serving cocoa and saltines.

Missing Tot Found
Asleep In Pasture
AMERICUS THRONG SEARCHES
SWAMP WITH FLASHLIGHTS
FOR CHILD.

Americas, Ga, February S.-A
score of persons searched through the
swamp lands bordering on Muckalee
Creek here last night seeking Billie
Mcdowell, four-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. j. McWowell, the little
fellow finally being found asleep in a
pasture mile south of Americas.
The child was missed about 600
o'clock Sunday evening and after it
was definitely decided he was lost, an
appeal was sent to various churches
here, asking members of the congre-
cations to assist in the search. A
large number Of flashlights were fur
nished by a hardware concern here
to those who assisted the searchers.
1t was learned the child had been
with several other boys near the
creek, having followed them there,
where they were engaged in flying a
kite. The child was not one of the
party and when these boys returned
to their homes they failed to see that
little Billie also emerged safely from
the creek swamp.
Acting upon information furnished
by these boys, the father penetrated
through a wire fence, calling fire.
quently and after sometime located
little Billie.

Miss Jewel Williams, in her discus

for illiteracy: Foreign immigration,
negro population and poor legislation.
Miss Lucy Belle Nelson read very

Wilson Stewart of Kentucky estab-
lished the first school of this kind in
1911. Since then other states have
established these schools with success.
Mrs. C. B. Ware gave the last talk
on the program. She gave some very
interesting facts about illiteracy in
Ben Hill county, showing that there
are 159 white and POI negro litter
ates in our county. Mrs. Ware urged
that. the association petition Hon. l..
L. Griner to fight for the Equaliza-
ton Fund and the cash basis in the
payment of the teachers of the state.
Mr.. Usher read the Educational
Program outlined by State Superin--
tendent Land. It is as follows:
/. Making the fiscal year-run from
June 3Oth to June 30th.
2. A bond issue of $4,00O,O00 to
provide for the prompt payment of
teachers.
3. Provision for an equalization
fund through which the length OF

be standardized throughout the State.
4. Bond issue to be used as bonus

spent either upon buildings or upon
equipment.
5. A building supervisor to see to
it that all school buildings meet the
standard of requirements in economy,
safety and sanitation.
6. An act to allow Independent sys-
tens to abolish their system and
