We are unfortunate in not being
able to retain Mr. C. M. Candler
this commission beyoud the expiration
of his present term, which expires
with the close of the present year,

There is every reason to believe |
that any class iu any school is rneas-'

find an unruly aud troublesome grade
and you will also find that it is woe-,
fully weak in its academic work. This
is due to a lack of concentration,
largely, which is the result of a lack
of discipline. Very few school authori
ties are guilty of brutality although
we can readily imagine that the aver
age teacher would get provoked be

maintained, even to the extent of ex

When the case was disposed of the

Watson's gangsters came very near
lynching him while he wore the man

office in Georgia.
And since that time—since the day
Watson rose to where he could direct
