The educational conference Friday In Atlanta of fifty business men, with leading educators of the state, wav a notable event. Many able and thoughtful speeches were made, discussing ail phases of the educational problem in Georgiu, and it developtd that Georgia stands fori \- e.v« nth among the states 1n point of Intelligence; that only 46 per cent of her white children attend school; that, her school teachers are go "only paid that even our convicts bring a hlgh« r price per month for manual lubor than Ahe teachers of Georgia. These and other deplorable conditions are a reproach to our peo ple and a disgrace to our state. The education of her children Is the high est duty of the state, and the Inade quate and sorry school houses |n many places no house at nil- the ut terly ridiculously low salary paid those who have prepared themselves for this noble work, and the short, terms provided for country schools, forms a chapter in our history that should stir the while people of Georgia to action. Governor-elect Hoke Smith prom ised to do all in his power to change our existing conditions, and asserted that, he was going to pay the teachers of Georgia hereafter when their sal aries were due. The country schools are especially deserving of better houses, longer terms and decent compensation for teachers. Country schools are enti tled to Just as good and as well-paid teachers as the towns. This committee of fifty represen tative business and professional men decided In substance to recommend to the approaching Legislature some changes In the present school laws to attain the following: — 1. A professional State Board of Education In lieu of the present hoard of state house officers. 2. A State Superintendent of Schools substituted for the state school com missioner, and this officer given pow- to unify and supervise the educa tional work of the state. The county school commissioner changed to county superintendent , of schools for more effective supervision. 4. An amendment to the constitu tion favoring the development of high schools, especially rural high schools. Local taxation strissid for in creased school funds and longer terms. Increased appropriations also asked. 6. The teaching profession put on a footing with other professions. 7. An effective organization of teachers. The press of Georgia will be urged at the editors’ convention next week In Sandersvtlle to begin an educa tional campaign for • better schools, longer terms and larger attendance by white children throughout our rural districts, and it Is the hope of all patriotic citizens who love their state to wipe out the distressing il literacy prevailing in Georgia. The Seventh Congressional district was represented at this conference by Hon. J. J. Connor, of Cartersvllle, and Mr °v Coleman, of Cedartown.

A good fire departmnet and mili tary company are two organizations of untold value to uny community. And Cedartown has reason to be proud of both. The railroads are enforcing the In ter-state law .against free passes, and all who go to the Jamestown Exposi tion or elsewhere out of the state are told to “pay your fare or count crossties.“ Mr. \V. G. Whitlow, one of our cleverest citizens, had the highest standing of any in the list of ellgi- bles In the civil service examination for rural carriers’ appointment, and has accordingly been commissioned to succeed the late Mr. Thurmond Col bert as carrier on Route No. 5. An addition of five miles will be made June 1st to the route of Mr. S. L. Baldwin.the clever carrier on Route No. 6. The new line runs from Joel Landers’ place to Young’s, thence to the H. M. AJidersdh place, to Rev. J. Davis’ placo and Friendship, thus ex tending the benefits of the service to quite a number of families. TIIK CLOk'K OF SCHOOL. COWMEN! EM ENT SERMON SUNDAY BY HR. SYH.NOR.

The Atlanta Journal says: “The friends of annexation desire to make it. very clear that there is not the slightest design or desire to coerce these surrounding municipalities. If they come into Greater Atlanta they will come of their own free wull and accord.” We believe this is the proper spirit in which to approach such mat ters. Cedartown wants to annex her suburbs, and hopes to make it to their advantage to come in.
