~ “A DASH OF DOUBT”
Among other things the Albany
Herald has this to say about tho‘
Crisp county power development:
“Majorities of the Crisp amend
ment were larger in some counties
and smaller in others, but most of
them registered their approval—not
of the project itself, but of a Georgia
county’s right to carry out a local
;dpv?{ppmént program in its own way,
"Mty voterf o cast their ballots
in faygr U(ithe' Crisp amendment
have honest misgiving about the feas
ibility of the project. These are ex
pensive undertakings, and instances
i PEAEEMEIY. rare cin which they
‘have been compleféd within the orig:
“inal estimates. If Crisp county shall
succeed in doing that, The Herald
will be glad. Albany is a near neigh
bor of Cordele’s and has hydro.
electric plants already in operation,
but there id no jealonsy of Cordele
on account of the proposed Crisp
county project. If (ordele can make
2 great industrial center of itself,
either with or without a power de
velopment, this whole section will he
benefited.”
The Herald has more than once
expressed doubt, " It doesn't know
which way we are going—-we don'i,
but we know what the purposes are.
At the same time we are out after
a development of our own, others
are out developing in the same line
as _fast as it can_pogsibly he. done.
This country is today in the develop
nient of hydro-electric power to a
degree staggering in belief. This is
the age of electricity. Its ten, twen
-ty, thirty years in the future will he
J‘f_’ vast in development that our move
‘ean be no mistake.
We can accord others their opin
fons, but to say we will fail is plain
ly to say we are a body of incompe
tents. We have a large task—the
largest this community has ever un
dertaken. But to quail because it is
a large one, is to fail. We haven't
failed in some of the very greatest
trials. For example, this community
stood together in the campaign for
the bonds. It was something rare—
unusual. The power company oppos
ing us simply would not believe it
was possible. They said it was not
—gaid it with their money all over
the state when they were fighting
us. We have overceome j.homwl’fir
money and pernigious, ingidious L ns
saults upon the Jbuhtinpf tax paver.
That was a thing it will take them
some moons to understand. It was
a real accomplishment.
We do not want to be over-confi
dent. We do not want our leading
citizens to misunderstand their tusk.}
And still further we go—we grant
that those find themselves in “dashes
of doubt” are well wishers—strongly
interested well wishers. We accord
them the very fine attitude of a com
man interest in our success because
we think they have a pride in (hls‘
section of Georgia and would be l\:m-!
py to fing that we had ('nutributodl
gomething worth while in making the
section marked for progress. ‘
We want to ask this one favor of
those of our neighbors who doubt——l
we want them to share that (-ommon‘
interest in the progress of this sec
tion till we have made our contribu
tion felt. It is going to be a success
—there isn't anything else that can
come of it—not a soul connected with
it will ever permit it to be anything
else, We are of one mind-—to bnild
that plant within our appropriation
and enough within it to give us a
fine start in transmission costs, If
that ever happens-—and it must—the
financial future of that power devel
opment is safe and secure,
It will not be handicapped hy
taxes, It will not be floored by the
public gervice commission—one of the
members of that body was so blind
ed to the needd of this section nnd‘
the public till he voted against and
worked against the project, He will
not have the pleasure of ruling in
favor of Stone and Webster and
against us on any question, DBut we
have hopes, too, that the members
of that body will realize that we
are trying to give to the public here
what we could not have in industrial
advantages without the power devel
opment. This ig a large undertaking
and will need the friendship of every
citizen, of every business enterprise.
Its very purpose ig worthy of success.
Its foundations have bheen properiy
laid, It will go forward in the same
spirit. We do not believe there is
discord anywhere enough to keep us
from standing man to man and
working with all wisdom \and good
purpose for the abundant power sup
ply. Then ‘it will reveal something
hesides a doubt, Then it will make
great contributions to the other many
i:ulvmx‘tuges for hidustrlal building; in‘i
this 'seetion—~and all our neighbors
will reap a common benefit out of it
—bound to do it. o

. THE SCHOOLS OF CRISP §
The citizen of ACr!s;j:ULQQQ[lty?: who
cares about progress will have to
rise, shake himself and tdke’on new
determination to get what he needs,
in scheols. We cannot remain lax
—unwilling to pay what it costs to
get consolidated schools.
There will be brick batg slung at
us for saying it—but the schools of
this county in the rural sections must
be consolidated and the price of mod
ern schoo) buildings, the cost of trans
portation, and the cost of teachers
to maintain graded grammar schools
must be exracted from the fellow who
heads the family sending the children
there for training. That thing must
come. Human progress will not stand
with hands tied anq watch our drag
ging, miserable excuses for a rural
schoal.system. We arg paying,a fright
ful price today because we have been
trained and have trained ourselves
to dodge a tax payment for the
schools.
We have no hesitancy in saying
that the lack of the consolidated
schools—the )ack of them—is what
is costing us so much in rural im
provement. These large farms we
now have that are costing the opera
tors more money each year than they
bring back in returns under the ten
ant system—these large farms are
going to pieces. The land banks and
the big insurance companies are get
ting them. There are hundreds of
these farmsg in our county today —
good farms—in the hands of those
who loaned money on thmfil :
These are not being 1'05401_;1 \o good
white owners as fast as thqf: should
gO, They would be great” bargains
werg the schools and the churches
such as would justify these icoming
'f:ikxlii'x's in believing they coulg have
:"biulmls and such rural community
surroundings as they need for their
families. You ‘may be reading this
and dissenting in view at this mo
ment, but you would not want to rear
yvour children in the rural surround
!ings in Crisp county. Your greatest
objection ig the rural school. Most
of the people who are getting along
—making the shifts—with what we
have are doing so largely because
they have been frightened out of
hoping for something better by the
ltorrible thought that the taxes will
!\uin everybody and everything.
Nobody ever had a good school
system without vpaying for it. You
need not expect such a thing in fu
ture. Both the city ang the rural
schools of Crisp county ought to be
thrown together into one system and
the rural schools consolidated down
to a creditable need where modern
school methods may be put into ef
fect. 1f those who are using our
present costly dual system— a city
|s:_\'stem and a county system—really
knew what gerat advantages they
‘might have in consolidating systems
“und then rural schools, we do not. be
(Meve they would linger much longen
hdplng for i'eullits for: the children
in the rural sections. Cordele has a
gooq system-—but Cordele pays for it
The county might have hoth ény and
|rural schocls of an excellent type
with but little more money expended
than the peaople of Cordele pay into
their own system, ‘
We waste some money now in the.
dual system—the two system method
in a small county, We waste szome
more in the ancient method of trying
to provide a school and a teacher
near the premises of every worth
while ecitizen in the county. That
waste Is over-topped and crownoed inl
the ultimate with the poorest results
in rural school work that ;;'W-:l‘..,\';

No matter how hard and long toncy.
ers and officials work under such
methods, there can bhe no results in
keeping with what we ought to have.
The Dispatch cares for the feelings
of those who are chargeable wlthl
responsibility in the rural system, We
understand what difficultieg mount‘
up. We know that there are far too
many citizens satisfied with the one-’
teacher school—every farm with a
school on its own premises. We!
%know how hard it is going to he tol
up-root that mistake—that tragedy—
in sghools., But, we, are, tackling it.
We are. going to tell the -rur‘jlf-"beo-‘
plé of Crisp é’dfixiti’TfiZF’tW shame '
—their great shame—ig theitldmno-l

children be cut off from the ghances

them to understand that it is worth
something to keep within bounds
with the tax burdens, bhut worth
xfiore—lntinitely more—to have good
schools through which the farmer
boys and girls may go on to great
successes in life.
Crisp county needs its school sys
tems consolidated — then its rural
schools consolidated. There are so|
many advantages that would ‘come;
through the laying of such a founda
tion for the education of the children
that we must speak out. OQur rural
schools as they are, will remain ai

soo long as they are not fully up to!
the standards maintained in the cityl
schools. That's the plain truth—you,

AN EMPLOYEES WORTH
From the Atlanta Journal:
It is probably true that few per
‘sons gainfully employed by others
do not at one time or another feel
that they ai‘e peing underpaid for
the services rendered. It isn't diffi
cut for the employee to figure that
he isn’t receiving the full measurc
of his worth for the labor he per
forms, He hasn't far to seek for
another similarly engaged perhaps
whose monthly check or pay envelope
isn’t larger than his. He wonders at
the discrimination, if, indeed, he
doesn’t resent the apparent partiali
ty.
Samuel Vauclain, president of the.
Baldwin Locomotive Works, came wp
from the ranks. He worked his way
from the locomotive shops to the
executive office, so that his words to
dissatisfied employees should carry
weight,
“If you want to know whether you
are worth more than the general av
erage of pay for the kind of job
you are holding,” says Mr. Vauclain
“your answer to a few simple ques
tions will tell yon.”
Mr, Vauclain’s catechism follows::
“Do I know, the real significanse
of the work lam doing? Or do I
figure my task as a certain numbet)
of hours between starting and 'quijt-.
ST . i f ;E""i
“Do I make fewer mistakes thanJ
those “about meée ™ — il
L U 3 make, fewer ‘mistakes this
year on the job thau s aig lagt year?
“Do I work faster than othors oy
do T hold myself down to the gen.
eral avarage of broduction? ‘
“Do I always have to be told tg do
or have I initiative? : i
“Am 1 faithfully doing the best
I know how? i
The employee who appreciates the
significance ofh is work, 'steadily“
improves his effidlency and faithful
ly renders the Very best tlflat is in
him is the employee who gets to the
top, and whose upward climb usually
brings to him a &eat_ei:j reward than
that of the clock watcher who takes'
no interest in his work and cares
nothing for its significance. |
