[ RURAL SCHOOL HANDICAPS,
{ The greatest defect of the rural
ls« hools is not in the barrenness of
’llw subjects taught, nor that the sub
[ jocts matter does not fit the surround
!ing conditions or that the methods
employed are so antiquated, These
are defects and should be remedied.
But the rural schools suffer on ac
count of the moving, shifting popmla
iti(m more than from any other cause.
‘Mm'(c than two thirds of the farmers
iln Georgia are tenants, Tenants
tmm'u on an average every two years.
[ln forty five countries in Georgia,
;s(-vt-n out of ten farms are cultivated
lhy tenants, These people usually
move about the middle of the school
term, so that in some communities
the teachers teach almost a new
school after Christmas,
This handicap cannot well be met in
any school system alone, The only
visible remedy for this is the broad
I]‘bn‘nib“ily of grading and carrying
the schools upon a single uniform
rvste,
In Crisp county much can be elimi
{ noted by having the same studies and
the same course for each year, both
in the high gchool and the grammar
school. This ought to be true as ap
plying to rural and city schools. A
{ child making the fall months in a ru
-lal school ought to be able, through
the grade arrangements, to come into
the city school and take up the work
of the year without losing any of the
work,
Careful work will make the grading
all the same in any county system,
Some day we will arrive at the time
when all the schools, both city and
rural. will start in the same weck
ane end in the same week, and the
sraded courses should then make it
negsible to eliminate the trovbles
cauged by moving from one point to
another, A state school system that
i« founded on right principles will
{ raake it possible to maintain uniiorm
grades everywhere with the length
of term for all the children.
very county the state over ought to
be required to start with all other
! counties at the samg time and close at
I the same time., When we start out to
‘unfm‘(:e the compulsory Jaws some of
this will be necessary.
NEGRO INDUSTRY,
Over at Tuskeegee Institute
Booker Washington’s school, the
negroes are making 107 different
products trom the sweet potatoes
and nearly as many from the pea
nut, KFrom the peanut they are
making milk, meal, cheese al
mond cream, hay and even ink.
All of these products were exhib
ited by a committee in Washing
ton last Saturday.— Valdostiv
Times.
And at Tuskeegee Institute the ne
oro is being taught many things that
will in the long run make better ne
groes of those who go there. This
’instilulu is the greatest negro monu
‘ ment to real betterment of the negro
\ race there is on the tace of the earth
%ln(lu,\'_ If it fails, the negro has no
‘ hope,
But it cannot fail. It is given to
the right kind of negro training—
the only king that counts for most in
negro uplife, It teaches the negro
industrially how to make a living. It
is not concerned with his hard hat
and walking cane and stogie, It
counts only the negro gain in ability
to make an honest living. It stands
for real negro training without the
frills or make believe.
Booker Washington will in some
day in the future be hailed as the
founder of correct negro education.
He saw more clearly what the south
orn negro needed than any negro who
has had to do with negro upliit. He
really came nearly up to his own ideal
in Tuskegee Institute and that school
has dong much for the negro.
Here the negro youth is given as
much of the meaning of energy and
thrift, personal initiative and effort as
the negro can absorb, The aim is to
make him see where improvement
lies, where he can attain betterment
for himself, and the purpose of Tus-
Kegee is to put the negro on this way
by doing things. The negro is taught
honest faith in negro ability to tak?
care of himself. e is made to per
form some of the things needed to
STYLE FOR GEORGIA,
Cotton is to be excluded Irom
the demand for a high tariff,
even by the Atlanta high stariff
advocates, Tariffs are usually
levied to help the privileged class
es and not to help producers,—
Valdosata Times,
The Atlanta tariff convention was
to introduce new style politics in
Georgia, As Atlanta does, so does
Georgia, and the tariff advocates
worked with that belief, But the tar
iff advocates will not get Georgia s 0
easily.
You should know the value of the
early garden and plant it, This does
more to reduce home expenses thaun
any other one thing you can do.
We hope our people will continue
their fine campaign for more flow
ers and pretty lawns. We are doing
much in that line now that shows how
well we can respond to a call for a
pretty city,
One thing sure: Berger cannot
charge it all to the prejudices of
Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis
when he puts his case before the
members of congress, He can shake
a deserved sentence for his lack of
loyalty to this country in war, but he
cannot have everything he wants
while he is doing so. Technicalities
in court are different from approval
for a seat in the world's greatest law
making body.
S s e S S
lead him to believe he can do things.
We hope more of the negro leaders
will stufly the good that has come of
Tuskegee and why,
't
hasn THESE are days of change—of
'] i innovation—of imitation.
C ange it’s good to find one thing that hasn’t
® changed a bit—Piedmont Cigarettes.
a blt The same fine native tobacco, the
same lively, appetizing flavor, the same
mellow fragrance that has kept men
smoking Piedmonts, and nothing else, for
so many years—it’s all there. Hasn’t
changed a bit.
After all, there’s nothing like ‘‘down«
home tobacco’’ for cigarettes.

THE CORDELY: DISCATCH
; LET HOME FEED HOME. i
il"z'um the Atlanta Constitution:
| “We have too long had our smokr:-'
| houses in the West,” says The Ade!l
' (Ga.) News, in an article urging
greater production of food crops here
l at home,
The advice of the Adel paper to
the farmers of South Georgia is to |
limit the cotton acreage and keop‘
{ the general home supply plan well to
' the front. '
| “Our hope lies not in quitting any
!f)ne thing, but in raising such a var
; jety that we will be able to get alony
| it one crop fails or the price drops
to where nothing can be made from
it. ‘/An abundance of food is needed
above all else. When the farms are
well supplied with food and feed
stuffs we will not suffer, We need
to raise in Georgia all the meat antl*
all other things that we need,”
That is, indeed, the only way to |
move the smokehouse from the West
| back home. .
Ang there are assurances that that
is going to be done this yemfl—vnml
only in one section, but in every fei
tile farming and stock raising district
of the state,
And it is noted that, In addition to
the food crops raised on the farm,
more attention will be given to home
gardens,
“Kvery one on the farm,” says The
Ashburn (Ga.) Wiregrass Farmer, “is
] planning for a good garden, and many
gardens are already well on the
way.”
Gardens grow dollars, as well as the
farms,
They made no inconsiderable con
tributions to home supplies; and
they’ll help in the work of bringing
the smokehouses back from the west.
More work on the home supply plan
I is what is needed.

THE EARLY GARDEN
From the Atlanta Constitution:
Is the city garden “forcing the sea
son,” or is this “homey,” neighborly
acknowledgement in The Cordele
(Ga,) Dispatch, only another evidence
of garden growing in Georgia the year
round:
“The Dispatch this day enjoys a
meal from a seven-pound turnip in
the city garden of a local bhanker.
And now we have renewed strength
and courage to go out and fight the
day's business battles!”
Our splendid climate is indeed fa
vorable to the all-year garden, and the
banker and the home owner gener
ally, may all reap health, pleasure
and profit from it.
Where flowers grow in the open
far into the ‘“winter season,” there
is an equal chance for the products
of the garden.
And the intelligent home gardener
knows what those products mean in
cutting down living expenses, They
make the home market at the home
door,
Colorado ranches are advocating
an open season on deer for the rea
son that the deer run with the cat
tle and consume the hay intended
for the steers.
