LEE MORRIS & Jackson St. CLOTHIER The Educational Monthly The January issue of the Educa tional Monthly comes from the press In the netx two or three lays. Most cf the subscribers of this magazine will get their copies about Christmas. This is the first number of the sec ond volume of the Monthly and is larger in size than any of the pre ceding issues. The magazine is print ed in the nsual attractive form and contains 62 pages exclusive of the cover. There are some 20 pages of advertising, both local and national. The growth of this magazine has been phenomenal and Athens should he proud to have been the home of so prosperous a publication. With the January issue the Educational Monthly becomes the organ of the Southern Conference for Education and Industry. This increases the cir culation of this paper very material ly. With the February issue it is ex pected that the magazine will also become an organ of the Southern Sociological Congress and the Social Workers of Dr. Weatherford, who meet yearly at Blue Ridge. Although arrangements have been made, for this representation, the deta ls have not been completed but will be dur ing the latter weeks of this month. The members of these thred associa tions receive the magazine regularly and a member of each association be comes an associate editor with Mr. Merrill. -When the two latter asso- c’ations join forces with the maga zine, the circulation will be more than 4 000 copies per month. The present number is exceedingly rich in material and is the best that has yet been published. The leading article, “The Reliance of Democracy” is written by Dr. Williams of the Uni versity of North Carolina and con tains much that is valuable to the thinkers of today. Coming as it does at this season of the year and in the world conditions that are about us, Dr. Williams’ article is extremely timely. Mr. E. C. Branson, also ot North Carolina, has contributed an address upon “Progressive Schools” that should be read by all social work ers. Miss Lucia Ames Mead has an article upon the “School Peace League.” Miss Mead is one of the prominent Northern workers in the great peace movement that Is now spreading over our country. Mr. E. K. Robinson, a publisher of wide ex perience, has contributed an article uoon “Text Books Old and New.” This Statement of the Condition of THE ATHENS SAVINGS BANK Condensed report to the State Bank Examiner at the close o!

The Southern Conference for Edu cation and Industry conducts a four page department under the supervis ion of Dr. Bourland and Mrs. Nellie Peuers Black.

Dr. Bourland has be come an associate editor with the January issue and will have as co- workers certain officers from the oth er associations as they enter the magazine. The Educational Monthly is only eleven months old, hut it has had very healthy growth and promises still larger development in the fu ture. Its clrcfilation extends from Canada to Mexico and it reaches soma of the moBt prominent educa tors, Industrial and social workers anywhere in the country. It offers an attractive field to the general ad vertiser and will undoubtedly become a prominent advertising medium as time goes on. No paper that we know of has become so well known and so influential as the Educational Monthly. THE VAUDETTE” NEW THEATER HAD CROWDS STANDING IN LINE ON THE SIDEWALKS YESTER DAY.
