2. Latin figures very largely today
in modren advertising. Did you ever
hear of Lux? Pedemode? Vita phone?
Do you know why the figure of Mer
cury is used sc much. Do you know
that the word "advertising” itself is a
Latin derivative ?
3. Do you know that most of the

grammar, medicine, and law are Lat-
Do you know that many legal
terms are in Latin? That medical
prescriptions are written in Latin?
4. Do you know that most . state
mottoes, inscriptions on coins and on
public buildings are in Latin?
6. The study of Latin will help you
to understand English grammar.
6. A Latin background will help
you in the study of Italian, French,
and Spanish, for Latin is the “moth
er tongue" of these languages.
8. Do you know that you have a
big “blind spot” in literature and his
tory and general reading if you have
not a knowledge of Latin history ana
mythology? You will meet such
references as the “Winged Horse”,
the “Wanderings of < Ulysees,” Helen
of Troy,” and the “Labors of Hercu
les.” In your junior and senior years
you will feel the need of this back
ground most sharply.
8. Do you know that the modern
Latin course gives you plays in Latin
helps on English spelling and gram
mar; gives interesting accounts of
the way the ancients lived, ate, talked
traveled, etc.; shows where many .of
our words come from and how they
were made; tells you about the ge
ography .of Italy and Rome; gives
you aids in science, English, mathe
matics, and other subjects; includes
interesting stories from mythology
and history such as Hercules and his
Labors, Ulysees and the Cyclops, Ho-

dozens of others together with a
study of such great Latin writers as
Caesar, Cicero, Ovid, Livy and Vir

The eleventh grade has been having

subjects were those of vital interest
today. In order that the members of
the class .could get practice in
judging debates, the members acted
as judges.
The Committee on Reorganization
of Secondary Education .of the Na
tional Education Association, in its
bulletin called “Cardinal Principles of
Secondary Education” set up the to-
lowing seven objectives towards which
all schools should strive. Dr. J. S.
Stewart, of the University of Georgia
had the honor of being a member o‘
this committee.
Cardinal Objectives of Education
The ideal of the American public
schools is to attain these objectives
for every child:
. A healthy mind and body.
2. A thorough education in the
fundamentals.
3. Sufficient knowledge and skill
to earn a good living.
4. Training for wholesome and
happy home.
5. Training for active, useful citi
zenship.
6. The development of appreciations
and interests which lead to a wise
use of time.
7. A character that is trusted and
admired.
WE WONDER—
Why some of the teachers congre

Why “the lab” is so popular?
Why a certain girl keeps looking

Why horseback riding has been
given up as a past time by certain
young ladies?
Why Billie Garrett runs around
yelling “Gee”. Could it be that he has
“horse sense”?
Why a certain young 10th grade
boy has so much studyiny to d,o at

Why Miss Cobb wears her “Christ

Why Miss Gunter arose early last

Who instigated the idea of having

Who the distniguished looking

Miss Felley last Monday at schoiol ?
As we start out cm the journey of a
second year with our news column, we
look back over the year and find that
thru this contact we have been privi
leged to get acquainted with some
very dear friends, for if you have ever
had experience of conducting a news
column in a newspaper, you know
that at times a contribution for in
sertion seems as tho it were a God
send. A contributory article is always
welcome, but there are times when
the receipt of some seems as tho they
have saved the day, for this job as all
others has its lean days and its full
days. Sometimes we wonder just how
we are going to take care of all that
is sent in, and then at other times
we wonder what has become of every
one and why they don’t send in con
tributions.
The Journal- has offered space
in their paper for the use of the mem
bers of our association jind others
Whom we might admit and wo want to
admonish the carriers and patrons of
the rural delivery service of Georgia
to make use of this generous offer that
has been extended and let’s make the
news columns more interesting and
worth while during this next year
that we are entering into. We had
eight or ten brethren who were ex
ceptionally loyal during the past yeai
and sent in their share of articles for
publication, and the, most of them
were exeedingly good. In talking with
some of these brethren about con
tributing articles, several said that
they wree delighted to send in articles
but felt that the brethren might feel
that they were trying to monopolize
the whole space in the columns shouhl
they make their appearance too often.
We have approximatelv 1,300 carriers
in the state now, and if every one of
them should send in an article right
away, it might possibly take us all
the year to get around t.i each one,
but they are not going to do this, n^r
am I expecting all of them to send la
articles, but we do have a large num
ber of carriers scattered abed. over
the state who can writ? interesting
letters and who would add consider
ably to the interest of our new-! col
umns with contributions.
I know that they can write inter
estingly for they write to me, but I
want to ask that more of the breth
ren send in articles and letters for
publication in our news colmns. Let’s
make this feature a worth while one
and an addition to .the Journal that
its publishers will be pnoud of.
Emanuel Carriers’ Meeting
As was announced in these columns
several weeks ago, on next Wednes
day p. m.,.Jan. 31, the carriers of
Emanuel county will hold their quar
terly meeting in Swainsboro at the
courthouse. Brother Temples writes
that they are expecting all the car
riers of Emanuel county to be present
end that every other carrier adjacent
thereto who can come is invited to
meet with them.
Emanuel county is one of the three
largest counties in the state in num
ber of rural routes therein, and the
carriers of this county have always
shown an interest in the promotion if
those things which were for the best
interest of the carriers and the serv
ice.
It is sincerely hoped that mors of
the counties will begin to have these
county meetings. In the smaller coun
ties possibly it might be best for two
or three to group together. The car
riers of the northern states have the r e
local meetings and through them they
are privileged to form a contract of
social intercourse that is ideal. Where
there are only a small number of car
riers, it would be nice to have these
ment maintenance allowance to be
paid rural carriers. We published an
order from the comptroller’s office
which was not clearly understood and
your secretary wrote the department
for more definite information as to
the future status of the equipment al
lowance that would be granted rural
carriers.
We are in receipt of this informa,

practice should have been in vogue
all the while. We all have the same
purpose to look forward to, and the
| same problems to discuss and solve
with each other, so why shouldn’t we
meet more often on a common plane
than we do? As a rule, our lady folk3
do not see each other except at
church or some social gathering, and
we men only are with each other in
the office while we are arranging our

portunity of talking over and solving
our problems at such gatherings Is
out of the question. Try a few of
these local gatherings and see just
how wonderful the spirit of brotherly
love will manifest itself.
Equipment Allowance
As stated in our news columns last
week, we promised to give more defi
nite information regarding the equip-
gram should be prosecuted to the ut
most at this time, so that employment
could be given to tho many millions
out of work. The lenders in congress
are pushing legislation that he has
suggested and it is hoped that thru
the enaction of laws carrying out his
wishes’the purchasing power of the
American people will be greatly In
creased, thereby bringing about the
recovery of prosperity.
He felt that government workers ac
their present wage scale could 1 keep
abreast of the times f r the next few
months, and so recommended that
their salaries stay at the present
| scale until July 1, after which time
I they will be increased.
To most of the government work-
; ers, this proposal has been most un-
l welcome, but when we stop and ana
lyze the present situation, taking irto
consideration the whole purpose and
1 desire of our president, who is looking
to the future good and welfare of our
1 country and its citizens, I fully be
lieve that the government worker will
come into his own at the proper time,
and will be given full reward for his
or her faithful loyalty and devotion
to duty, and that they will share more
abundantly after prosperity Is
reached.
So I would admonish the rural let

our government, to take courage and
