THE SOUTHERN SERVBS THE SOUTH
Will the South join in
* financing its own
railroad needs?
Southern capital is being invested in
many new enterprises along the lines of
the Southern Railway System.
An even greater gain in production and
prosperity in the South in the next ten
years than was witnessed in the last ten
seems inevitable.
But industry can expand no faster than
the railroads that bring fuel and raw
materials, and carry the finished prod¬
ucts to the markets of the country. Money
must be invested in railroads as well as
factories, if industry is to be efficiently
to served.
That much of this new railroad capital
should come from the South itself seems
a natural result of the growing invest¬
ment wealth of the South.

poorly paid, untrained teachers are
withholding progress and wealth from
his community, county and state, he
believes steps will be taken to correct
the condition.
A recent study of educational sta¬
tistics compiled by J. O. Martin, state
school supervisor developed the fact
that in 1924 there were still 1,757 one
teacher schools in Georgia; 1,674 two
teacher schools, and 84 per cent of the
one teacher schools were taught by
persons without college or normal
school training; 55 per cent of them
taught by teachers who have never
even finished high school.
The municipal school systems in
Georgia have been vastly improved in
recent years. Some counties have de
veloped modern rural consolidated
schools. Others are neglecting Geor
gia’s greatest crop,—her future citi
zens! Still others are financially un
able to provide good schools for their
children without more aid from the
state.
Business men in the municipalities
are accustomed to making inspection
trips to determine the condition of
the crops in the county, to discover the
state of repair of the county high
ways, to encourage the farmers to
trade in the county seat; but how of
ten have they gone out to inspect the
little one room schools—too often
leaky and windowless, with broken
benches, no books or maps or charts.
Educational leaders believe that if
Mr. Land’s suggestion is taken ser¬
iously there will be a great awaken¬
ing to cold facts, throughout Georgia,
and that the movement toward more
school funds, better paid teachers and
consolidated schools with modern

equipment will have been given a
great impetus,
World’s Work has recently adver¬
tised to the world that Arkansas and
Georgia are spending a smaller per
centage of their per capita wealth for
education than any other states in the
union. And yet it is contended that
money spent on education is probably
the most productive force that civili- j
zation has created. If we permit other
states to spend a larger part of their
wealth on education than we do, we
will see them far outstrip us in the
production of greater and greater
wealth.
Statistics compiled by the National
Education Association show that
America expends upon tax supported
education only one and a quarter bil
lion dollars, which amounts to only
.0056 per cent of the nation’s total
wealth, and only 2.77 per cent of the
nation’s annual income. Education
consumes but a minor fraction of our
total supply of economic energy, while
it has contributed more in the past
decade toward increasing the earn
ing and saving power of the individual
than anything in American life, in
creasing savings, deposits 109 per
cent.
But education also makes Ameri
C ans good spenders. What market

^ Million Dollar Centennial
Judged by every conservative stan
dard, the Butts County Centennial,
held in Jackson last week was a mil
lion dollar show.
Not that the celebration cost a mil¬
lion dollars or anything in that neigh¬
borhood. As a matter of fact, the cost
was insignificant and the funds were
raised by popular subscription, every
citizen of the county being given an
opportunity to play a part.
It was a million dollar centennial
because Butts county is worth a mil¬
lion dollars more today than it was a
product if the tastes of American peo
pi e were similar to those of the un
civilized savage? The man who has
little appreciation for good wearing
apparel, a comfortable home, good lit
erature and music is likely to be a
p oor customer. The educated man is
a g 00 d earner, and earning power is a
prerequisite to purchasing power. If
the business men of Georgia will
realize that school costs properly ad
ministered are not a burden but an
investment which pays handsome divi
the state would soon catch step
with the rest of the country in pro¬
viding “the goose that lays the golden
eggs.”
wo ok ago. How? Because we have
found ourselves, because we have
learned to put over big things in a
big way, because we did not let a dry
year, which was providential, hinder
us in staging the celebration, because
we feel better because our property is
worth more now than it was a week
ago. The million, some of it, is tangi¬
ble and may be noted in increased pro¬
perty values. But the larger part of
the million is in intangibles, such as
inspiration, renewed faith and cour¬
age, enlarged vision, a deeper respect
