PEACH COUNTY
The creation of Peach county is be
ing vigorously fought It has become
a more thoroughly advertised propo
sition than any other similar fight
the state. By this means It Is quite
possible that there will be sufficient
objections to override the constitu
tional amendment and refuse to create
the new county.
South Georgia has a number of new
counties. These units have become a
factor in the political complexion o’.
the f

g we have heard, has there been
long lived or serious objections

by the subdivisions. Everybody sei
haypy and satisfied.
If there is anything that causes
satisfaction and disagreement,

tt least among the adherents of th<

The new county movements have been
largely due to the aspirations of
>r town to become a county site.
It is probably the same with Port Val
ley, the seat of the new county, al
though this is not the sole issue
volved, and the movement has the
backing and the support of so:

their point. We can well understand
the desire of Houston to keep Peach
where it is. We can likewise under
stand thoroughly how Peach might
want to be an entity and it certainly
has a fair claim to that distinction.
We don't take much stock In the
one-sideness of*the proposition from
either angle. Houston will lose

something valuable. The loss to

Carleton B. Gibson, head of the Sa
vannah school system, former superin
tendent of the Columbus public
schools, Is advocating a twelve months
school term, and It is announced that
several members of the Savannah
board of education are backing him up
in the Idea.
The Ledger can't quite subscribe to
the twelve months’ plan, but we do be
lieve that the summer vacation periods
entirely too long. Allowing for
numerous holidays—many more than
than we should'observe—there are
only about eight months for school
work in Columbus, and other Oeorgla
cities. That Is not enough.
Commenting on Mr. Gibson's propo
sal, the Augusta Chronicle says in
“At first blush, twelve months of
school sounds harsh. But it is not
wholly bad—the suggestion Is not—
and there is not the hardships which
first occurs to us at the least whisper
that ‘commencement’ and the ’vaca
tion' are to be abandoned when June
comes around.
“It is not generally known that
twelve months of school is now in
force successfully In several communi
ties. We are Informed that Nashville
has about decided on them. At least,
the instruction committee of the Nash
ville board of education has gone into
the matter very fully and In a special
report to the board has recommended
that the schools bo kept open for the
entire year. This would make four
school terms of three months each
would keep the school administration
In force twelve months In the year
This would mean more rapid promo
tion and, it is claimed, would also aid
the backward pupil and result in a
e prompt readjustment when it
found that a child was not proper
ly placed In the school.’’
The twelve months' term may not
be In order Just yet. The idea would
doubtless meet with decided opposl-
At the same time, it must be
admitted that it takes entirely too
long to get through the . grammar
schools under our present system.
Here In Columbus, for Instance, the
child entering school at the age of
en Is eighteen or more before he
s through the high school. If he.
she. enters college, it takes four
years In which to complete one's
course, and this Is at least two more
years than ought to be required. The
average student begins to think about
other things after passing the twenti-,
eth birthday, and their education ought
to bo nearly completed by that time.
Wouldn’t it be wise tor us to con
sider a compromise for the Gibson
plan? Wouldn’t it be well to have at
least a ten months' school period 1
And then wouldn't it be best for the
cause to eliminate just about one-hall
of our school holidays?.

Our country with a generosity

to all peoples.
It is known to our Department of
State, that some European countries
have used us, as England once used
Australia, a dumping ground for mis

filled our Jails and given our courts
much work.
