LIKE CAESARS WIFE

To hold the confidence and esteem OF the
pupils the teacher, like the preacher must be
above suspicion, must have the full confidence
Of his pupils for integrity and square dealing,
otherwise his or her influence in the school
room will vanish and the hurt done to the
character of his or her pupils is beyond COM
putation. The insstence with which the
young pupil refers to every act and word done
or expressed by the teacher, should impress
the teacher with the importance of saying or
doing only those things which will retain for
him or her the respect and confidence of those
under their charge.
What parent has not had the experience OF
meeting from their children the decided state
ment that 'the teacher said sO-and-sO" and
no argument would change che correctness OF
that statement, should the parent be thought
less enough to attempt to change it; SO teach
ers must assume the responsibility of being
right in every instance and allow no suspicion
to arise in the minds of the pupils that either
through ignorance or prejudice or any other
cause, are their decisions made or their infor-
nation impaired. IF teacher is found that
cannot or will not carry high standard OF
integrity into the schoolrOom, the only wise
thing for Board of Education to do, and the
only fair one for the interest of the children
in their charge, is to let the offender go and
hold the confidence of the pupils so far as the
Board is responsible, at least.

THE MODERN GIRL

Those who have observed that the average
girl of today is healthy pretty and trained to
work REQUIRE no defense of the modern young
woman. Still there are some who, misled by
the excess of talk about fappers, have the no.
ton that the average of the girls of today IS
not as high as in former times
The girls of today probably do more work
than those of any other time, for the reason
that the modern world has brought more oc-
cupations suitable to them. Nor are all those
called fappers to be thought of as light, flip
pant CREATURES; certainly not as, being i'm
moral. Of course there are extremes among
them, as in all classes and in all periods. But
no class should be judged as whole by the
few in it who may be unfortunate. However,
the worst flappers of today could not possibly
be inveighed against more severely than were
their sisters of ancient times.
Cato the Censor had his troubles with them,
and the Bible also has many commentaries on
their dress and conduct dap
DER could act in a more flippant manner than
the daughters of Zion described in the SIX
tenth verse of the third chapter OF Isaiah;
daughters who were naughty, and walked
with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes,
walking and mincing as they went, and max
ing tinkling with their feet? The rest of the
chapter also has much to say of their dress
In all ages there has been extremes just as TO-
day.

Better Homes Week

There will be more zoe
thousand local Better Homes cam
paigns throughout the country, April
25 to May 1. Though the primary
object is cultural rather than COM
mercial, being sponsored as rule
by women's clubs or similar Organi-
cations, the demonstration is one of
strong advertising appeal to all kinds
of firms dealing in home equipment
Of any kind. BY the cooperation Of
these establishments very handsome
and appropriate appointments and
the most up-to.date and complete
conveniences make the exhibit of
model homes very valuable in sug-'
gestions to buyers or builders and of
intensive advertising value to real
tors and home Quitting firms. Fitz-
gerald will have a Better Homes
demonstration, employing the new
cottage residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mark Mathis on West Jessamine
street, the Better Homes committee
of the Woman's Club and the Do
nestle Science department of the
high school planning the furnishings
with the cooperation of the city
merchants who will loan them for the
demonstration.

BETTER ToWNS-BETTER BUSINESS

"A town which is vitality concerned about its
growth and the prosperity of it's people is one
which is not sef-satisfed so far as industrial
development is concerned and is putting forth
concerted effort both to acquire desirable new
industries and to aid established ones 10 ex-
pand Fortunately, there are few, in any
towns which should not be placed in the above
class 1t is true, however, that some are more
active than others and the results accom-
plisheCf are, as q rule, in direct proportion 10
the quantity and the quality Of activity put
forth Too often it occurs that some business
men become so engrossed in their own par
ticuar business that they depend on others to
look after affairs which so affect the entire
community, and which require the united sup
port of all concerned. No one questions the
value of large industrial pay roll to every
business or profession in community.
Hearty cooperation of all concerned should
prevail in making this possible and it must
prevail if community is to fully capitalize its
possibilities.

CLEAN UP

Now is the season of the year when Mother
Nature gets busy and cleans her world by
sweeping winds, gentle rains, and then beau
tifes il with green grass, flowers, and trims
the trees and shrubs with leaves. It would
be well for us to follow such excellent ex
ample and clean up our small world. Now
is the time to rake up all the rubbish, burn it,
bury it, rdispose fit in some way that it
won't be an eyesore in your community. Now
is the time to paint everything paintabe so
the buildings can present shining counte-
nance to the springtime world. Now is the
time to plant flowers, shrubs, gardens, vines,
some kinds of trees, to assist nature in beautl-
flying the world. We ar eendOwed with fine
bones, surrounded with lovely old trees, and
it is our inheritance, and our duty to care for
chem Many of the trees are dying, or are be-
ing cut down along the old trails. If we would
make our community more beautiful and
better place to live, we should aim to replace
them.
In the meantime, let's get the sprngtime
urge, and clean up, pick up paint up and
plant. :"

ADVERTISING SCHEMES

There are merchants in Fitzgerald as well
as other towns who will Jump at most any ad-
vertising scheme some stranger brings around.
1t has been our observation that where mer-
chant refuses for any reason to advertise con-
sistently in his local newspaper there is very
little good to be accomplished through the pet
schemes of professional travelling advertising
SPECIALISTS. There are merchants of Fitzger-
aid who have not yet put an advertisement in
the newspaper, but who buy such space on
many woud-be advertising schemes consist
emily. Now, if you just will give your money
to foreign advertisers let us suggest that you
send it to a foreign advertising agency SO he
can charge q reasonable commission, and then
send the balance to your local newspaper
where it will do the most good in the begin
ming.

Extra and Extraordinary

The Music Festival Association of
Atlanta is often called upon to fur
nish extras in the caste Of grand
opera during their one week season.
A baby has sometimes been the want
ing element, but this year the re-
quest has been issued for donkey
that will be a suitable mount for
Sancho Panzo in the presentation OF
Don Quixote." 1t is the rare good
fortune for the singers in this opera
that handpicked trained donkey out
of herd of eight trick donkeys will
be chosen for the part. There is a
wide difference it seems between a
trick donkey and tricky donkey,
which are all the kinds there are.
The ladies of the caste are assured
that this one will not use his feet In
an unpleasant way and that he will
not join in the tenor parts In I'M
harmonious style at critical points,
making travesty o Tragedy.

HOSPITALS EXPENSIVE

If we were a millionaire we would erect a
big hospital where the suffering could secure
treatment at reasonable rate. Not, free, but
when one comes back home he would not be
broke for years to come to pay what he had
expended trying to regain his health. Getting
sick these days is an expensive luxury. Bet
ter study your health before you have to visit
the health restoring institutions, where it is
so much per.

Il THINGS
Muaie On the Stage
y - By NJ;

NAWA4S Ma NM$ 0NASE
Chautauqua brings to Fitzgerald
audiences good class of music sell
dom heard on our local stage, and
should be the more appreciated for
that lack. With. music the rule
works the other way, however. The
more familiar people become with
good music the more they wish for
it and appreciate it. One of the
benefits of Chautauqua is the good
taste it leaves for more of the same
kind. A choral club IN Fitzgerald
would be fine thing. Since most OF
the singers are already in the church
choirs, an oratorio like NE "Crea-
ton" or 1.-The Seasons" learned
through wipseFs practices c9Nld BE- PIT
on in the Spring, Easter week or Nae'
ional MusicWeek It would give a
great deal Of pleasure to the singers
and would be a real event IN the
public rendition. A permanent Or
chestra would be another musical as
set to our city. The high school or
chestra is already real credit, but
the members will so soon separate,
pursuing their college studies else
where that no degree of permanence
is assured. This applies equally well
to the high school glee club. II may
afford the nucleus for larger per-
manent organization, but will not
keep its identity for any length of
time. From these beginnings and
splendid community band we already
have, let us hope and work for more
and always better music for our COM
munity.

VALUE OF FRIENDS

Have you friend whose loyalty you would
not question, who always seems understand,
who does not expect more of you than you
know your capacity to be, who is interested
when you are pleased or sympathetic when
you are sad, who shows you that he values
your good will more than he does the dollar
in your pocket. Think twice before you, an
swer, and if you have, stay by him, stick to
him, and if ever need be give him the shirt off
your back, even if it's the last one in your own
wardrobe A good friend and true is a God
eiven asset in this day of dollar chasing COM
mercialism.

The Poor Indian

There has been more done for the
negroes in sixty years. and for the
Filipinos and Hawaiians in thirty
years than has been done for the
Indians in century and half, ac-
cording to the Scientific American.
From 1916 to the passing of the In
dian homestead law one hundred
years later they were allowed no
rights under the government. Now
their status is that of wards under
the entire control of Congress, which
may be good, bad or Indifferent just
as the will of the majority decides.
In numbers there is strength and for
tunately there is justice, too. as a
rule, as the same prejudice will hard
ly actuate a large number of men,
and they, statesmen at the same time.
