WE ARE KEEPING PACE OF THE
times as far as economic
CONDITIONS ADMIT.
There are four fundamental prob
lems In consolidation as the writer
heffins to think about this question.
Whether these points stand out pro
minent or not they are nevertheless
fundamental In the rural problems.
They are as follows:
1. The fcktonomie conservation and
the co-operation of the people of ‘he
General rural community.
3 The expensive transportation
problem which Is compelled to be met
eooner or later by the common school
funds of 'he County Board.
3 The added expense of establish
ing and maintaining a common con
solidated school over what It takes
to run the common rural schools.
4, The character of teaching com
pared with our present schools.
Mr. Francis O. Wadsworth, agent of
tho State Board of Education of
Massachusetts, who seems to be the
originator of the plan of consolia
tlon for better education gives ns the
following:
PROBLEMS
(a) Inadequate provisions for trans
portation.
(b) The getting too many ‘o-gether
end not having adequate supervised
play during recreation.
DIFFICULTIES
(a) Securing appropriations or aub
scrlptton for the installation or con
struction of the new building.
(b) Bad, Impassable roads for the
season of the year that school is in
progress.
(c) The difficulty of getting good
careful drivers who will care for the
children as they should.
(and) The difficulty of many of the
children having to walk and meet the
busß whereas others will have the
Ims come Just in front of the doors.
UNHANDINESS FOR CHILDREN
AND PARENT*
(a) It taken 'the children farther from
home usually for a longer period of
time and the boy or girl may not be
able to do as much at home as they
now do.
(b) It just gets the school too far
away from the parents so that they
will not know as much about the dls
cipline and teaching of the school,
hence they will be less Informed
about what their children are doing.
(c) Every school has its moral Influ
ence in the community and to consol!
date and take the school farther
away so that It would leave some
blank along this line would be wrong.
To the writer who Is advocating
consolidation It looks like a mere
waste of money. We have onr school*
well es'ablished and have spent a
great deal of money preparing the
houses for the purpose of sending our
children to school. All our former
work would be thrown away and we
would have to start all over again. !
We would not realize anything from
the structure but would have to build
by subscription. Every jpatron am’j
trustee the writer believes would be j
honest about it but to begin with !
there would be a disagreement about
where the structure should be located
Rather than split up the community
in that way, let well enough alone. |
Some schools which have been con- 1
solldated have found that it did not!
work and have gone back to the old
way of small rural school.
THEN SECOND THE EXPENSIVE
PROPOSITION OF TRANSPORTA
TION.
Tlie proposition if transportation
has actually taken the time of some
of our best educators to try to ferry ,
out satisfactorily and they have thus'
failed to do it satisfactorily. Just how
to do this so that it may meet the
needs of all the pupils and at the
same time get a bus driver who will i
take the proper care of our children
as they should be, is 100 big a preb- ,
lent for the average man. The anxiety
of our weimen for their little tots who
have to ride the bus when they are
out on the road will be too much for,
us to think about in the yield lo this
proposition.
THE THIRD PROPOSITION
The expense of contructing a great
large house, with extra added equip-,
meat when the past generation got ■
along and did fine so far a.s the peo
ple know without all this extra s’ruct
ure. It will take up in the thousands
of dollars to make the preparation
to begin the trial of consolidation and
it looks like a useless expense when
cur boys and girls who desire to get
an education can get to some school
where they may he able to complete
the high school if they desire. The
depressing times demands economy.
FOURTH THE CHANGE OF
TEACHING.
The change of teaching lines is so
practical In the consolidated school
that we want to ask the question:
"Why go to school and learn so many
new things which was not taught to
us? Why give up our little school
when it is serving the practical pur
pose of preparing our children? Why
take our common rural' school away
front us when it takes away a vital
part of our community? Do you think
it is right to take this little school
when it is serving the communities
purpose and thus detracting from the!
value of our real estate? Why under-'
take to consolidate schools when the,
hills and streams hy reason of their j
lay Just forbid this more? Why con-|
solidate when our needs are being
■erred to our satisfaction? Why un
dertake such a big thing when time* |
demands that we can not afford it?
Our children are getting the found-
ation of the education from a practi
cal standpoint. Is that not enough?
Mr. Reader do you think we are
keeping pace with fhe times? Begin
to take stock of the things that are
about you and see If you do not say
yes we are.

Does Advertising in
The Forsyth County
News Pay Cumming
Business Firms
A citizen of Cumming came to the
brink of disaster last week, when he
approached the editor of The Forsyth
County News and. after some discus
sion of the subject of advertising,
asked ns: "Do yon really believe in
advertising for the merchants in Gum
ming as a business proposition,".
We wondered whether the emphasis
of the questioner was accidentally on
the word "really" in order to suggest
that our opinion of advertising in The
Forsyth County News was piped up
by the profits taht come out of it.
However, we passed that over, be
cause we instantly realised that the
only reason the speaker ever thought
of being in business, or of doing any
thing, was to get the money.
However, the question can be fairly
asked by many merchants of Cum
ming who might put it this way: "Is
advertising a profitable business in
vestment for the merchants of Cum-
ming.
To answer the question theoreti
cally. as it is asked, eliminates from
onr argument the proof that is fur
nished us by successful examples of
the nse of advertising in The Forsyth
County News and causes us to dis
cuss, in an admittedly hurried way,
the query that comes to every busi
ness man, as he contemplates the
expenditures he makes for advertising
The [returns from hdvertising in
The Forsyth County News are two
fold. There is the direct return, as'
for example when a sale of shoes
brings customers into a store to buy
shoes, and there is the indirect, but
possibly as valuable return, which
conies in increased prestige that
grows upon the consciousness of the
reading public and causes them to
appreciate a difference between the
regular advertiser and the non-adver
tiser. This can be illustrated by a
bank, offering ostensibly the same
service as other banks, but which,
nevertheless, through the medium of
a series of advertisements identifies
iitself, in the public mind, with mod
ern. up-to-date, efficient business
policies.
About Stranger* In
Our Home Town
One of the ways in which the peo
ple of dimming can assist in the 1
growth of this 'entire sec ten," ar.d
especially their own home, is to be
helpful and considerate to all strang
ers. with whom they come in contact.
The growth of a city is merely win
ning newcomes. When strangers come
to Gumming how long does it take
them to feel that someone is inter
ested in them. If they move here to
begin work, how many months elapse
before the rest of us make them real
ize that they belong to Gumming.
MEASLES
During the month of December,
1933, 1,683 cases of measles were re
ported to the Georgia Department, of
Public Health, and for the first three
weeks of January, 1334, 2,413 cases
were reported, which, according to
the average number of cases reported
for December during the past five
years (IlG), is far beyond expectancy.
Since the measles problem is acute at
present, and, although contrary to
opinions held by some, causes serious
illness and death, it seems fitting just
now to call attention to the danger
and to suggest some control meas
ures.
Measles is most dangerous for
children under three years of age,
and it is, therefore, tremendously im
portant to postpone the attack until
after the fifth or sixth birthday. It
is, however, a fatal disease at any
age among undernourished and un
derprivileged, particularly where pro
per care has not been exercised. Fat
alities are also high among the aged
especially those living under unhy
gienic surroundings.
When a case of measles is suspect
ed the best procedure is to put the
patient to bed at the very beginning
of the illness, other people should be
kept away, and a phyaician called
immediately. The fewer people who
come into contact with the patient,
the lees will be the opportunity for
the patient to contract pneumonia or
infiamation of the ear, aa meailee
pares the way for pneumonia and
pneumonia kills. The patient should
be ke.pt in bed in a separate room
during the fever and ahould not be
allowed to get out too soon. Some
times patients suffer relapses through
getting wet, chilled, or over-fatigued
soon after getting out of bed. Pneu
monia may then develop.
At, least ninety per cent of the re
sponsibility of the spread and control
of measles rests with the parents.
Since measles Is highly contagious for
at least 3-4 days before the rash ap
pears, In order to prevent to others,
it is highly important that the patient
be isolated and put to bed at the very
onset of the disease. It frequently
happens that persons are able to state
definitely the time and place of ex
posure to measles. Such persons
should be watched carefully for 18
daya from the date of exposure. Ob
servation should be particularly close
from the seventh day. If the temper
ature rlees at any time to *11.5 degrees
j or if any other symptoms develop the
patient should be isolated immediat
ely and regarded as having the dis
ease or until such time that tt ia quite
certain that measles or some of the
other contagious diseases has not yet
developed.
Any attempt to prevent the spread
of measles may be the means of sav
ing the lives of young children, or
aged, as well as those underprivileged
or undernourished. ,

NIGHT NOT BEST
TIME FOR STUDY
SAYS EDUCATOR
The proverb that “one hour's sleep
before midnight is worth two hours'
afterward,” usually is |rtdiculed by
physicians.
Most of them maintain that while
eight hours’ sleep is necessary at
tome time during the twenty-four, It
makes little difference when it is ob
tained.
A recent German tsvestiss-lon
tends, however, to cast doubt on this
medical opinion and to confirm the
ancient proverb, says Dr. E. H. Free,
in his Week's Sclenea (New Tork):
“Dr. Theodore Stockmann, principal
of a school in Duisburg, noticed that
one of his pupils was falling behind
in school work, and was becoming
more and more lazy and sleepy.
“Inquiring into this young man's
sleep habits, Doctor Stockmann found
that he was studying Ist* at night and
sleeping late in the morning. Change
of this habit so that the pupil slept
before midnight and woke very early
in the moraing to stady caused re
markable improvement ia school work
and in health.
Doctor Btochssaaa thsa tasted the
same idea on sevaateea athar pupils,
averaging aboat nineteen years old.
All turned out to ha Is hatter health
and to do better school work when
they habitually got four or five hours’
sleep before midnight and got up at
three or four o’clock In the morning
to do their studying.
“Two pupils who worked part of
the day also found themselves in bet
ter health and more successful in
their studies when they went to bed
immediately after supper and did
their school work between midnight
and dawn. His observations also sug
gest, Doctor Stockmann reports to the
German medical profession, that less
than eight hours’ sleep may be enough
at least for young people, provided
all of it is obtained before midnight.”
