Increased taxation is not the only
answer to educational problems of the
state. II is conceded that there should
be more revenue for school purposes,
and this will he provided by the adop-
tion of the proposed amendment in
creasing the district tax TO the maxi
mum Of eighteen mills. But there Is
principle involved much deeper than
that of money. Our educators are
working out practical plans for the
Improvement of our public school sys-
tenn whereby an equal opportunity may
be given every child in the state. W.
NJ. Shelby, Editor of the Batesville Re
cord, who has given much study to
the question, sounds the keynote in
the following editorial;
"The question of change from our
present public school system will be
made an issue to those seeking legisla-
tive honors in many of the counties of
the state at the coming democratic pri-
mary In August,
"The matter of increasing the limit
of taxes that may be voted by special
districts, will not solve the big prob
lem in our public schools. This will
not give EQUAL opportunities and
adequate facilities for instruction in
the rural sections, with those of the
towns and cities. And until system
Is devised that will do this, our public
schools will not render the greatest
possible good TO society, or to the in.
dividual pupils.
"Some are advocating the county
unit system, but il is our opinion we
should go even further than this, and
make the state unit And under a
state unit system, provision should be
made for consolidation Of weak dis
tricts supplying capable teachers, and
proper equipment.

DR.. L. G.. Harriman, who is
asking for the Dem ,ratic NOM
ination for governor, is . busi-
ness man of the type sorely
needed in Georgia. Standing
feur-square for clean and con-
structive methods in business
and in politics his public and
private life defiss criticism. It
is a significant fact that despite
the charges and counter charges
his opponents are filing against
each other, not one of them has
ventured a single criticism of
DR.. Hardman.
DIR. Hardman is aligned with
no faction. He is frankly COM
mitted to the interests of the
people as a whole, and when he
is elected the people who have
been using the machinery of the
state to further their own per-
sonal interests will find that for
every dollar of public money
they receive they must give an
honest value.
DIR. Hardman knows the han
dicaps under which the Georgia
farmer has worked for 80 long.
He knows the possibilities Of
Georgia farm lands, and knows
that Georgia can only hope to
become permanently prosperous
when Georgia farmers are max
ing money. He can be depended
upon to do everything that is
humanity possible to improve ag-
ricultural conditions, and his ex-
perience as a practical and sue
cessful farmer and orchardist
has given him a practical in
sight into these problems that
will prove of great value when
he is governor. q

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, December IL.

Astrologers read tomorrow as
most fortunate day, for Venus, the
sun. Jupiter and Uranus are all In
benefic aspect.
Women who desire positions or EN-.
ployment of any sort should make use
of every opportunity to seek the right
place while this configuration prevails.
It is a lucky wedding day. making
for success in marriage and rapid rise
to prosperity.
Theaters again come under the best
possible sway, for 1t indicates ap-
proval from the most august person
ages and interest among the intel
lectual
Motion pictures also partake OF the
good fortune that apparently will af-
feet the stage, and many new inven-
tions will promote their vogue.
Amusements of every sort are to be-
come more and more popular In the
United States, where athletics as we'll
as other recreations will benefit.
The signs are most encouraging to
persons in the sun, including gov
ernors of States and heads of big bust
ness enterprises.
Again merchants and manufacturers
should benefit. for the stars forecast a
holiday expenditure that will bring
large profits.
Uranus gives good hope for educa-
ton and all sorts of intellectual de-
velopment. Many new college build
ings are to be constructed, and uni
versities are to receive large endow-
ments.
There is a sign indicating inven-
tions of a sort little dreamed OF, even
by the most advanced scientists.
Aviation IS under the most sttmu-
lating influences, and astrologers fore
cast the common use of airplanes
within a decade.
Hotel keepers should rejoice, for the
stars promise them prosperity. They
are to harbor many more guests next
year than ever before in this country,
1t is predicted.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have
the augury of a year of extraordinary
progress and prosperity.
Children born on that day are
believed to be rarely fortunate. These
subjects of Sagittarius usually have
no difficulty in finding for their life
work just what is most desired.
