XvUlffler the direction of Principal E. B. MelJ, assist- niby-Miss Mamie Turnbull and an excellent and offi- cient'Jorps of teachers, the High School has grown re markably in the last few years. It Is interesting to note that the graduating class this fear, ninety-six in number, was larger than the total enrollment the first year of the school’s career. Th0 large enrollment, over six hundred students, which the school registered for the 1922-23 term was not By chance. The period of a child's life between the grammar school and High School is one in which it gets the idea that it has had enough of school and the fact that so many have gone ahead and entered the High'School testifies to the ability of the school’s di- rectifjf head. The l|igh School has not only attracted a large numl$f>of students each year but the number is growing^ and in addition to an increased enrollment, the graduating class has also grown larger. This, too, is endoysement of the school and its training staff. It U ope thing for a child to enter High School and still another to keep it interested enough in the work to hot! Jt there until the four year course is cdmplet- High Schools everywhere conteniPwith the diffi cult problem of keeping the students,in school until tho graduation day arrives and large numbers of themwdrop out before pie course is finished, because of lack of interest. Fortunately for Athens and its boys and girls, the High^School here is so conducted that the students find there constant inspiration to continue in their studies’and finish the work they undertake on the first day of entrance. The influence of Principal Mell upon the lives of the hoys and girls of Athens cannot be measured'by words. ■ >It can be determined only by the lives the graduates make upon leaving the High School. The splendid record the majority of its graduates have made inj college and after their university course is ended is such an to place the High School principal along with the most useful citizens of this state and one ol its leading educators. ' \ ADVANCE STEP FOR FLORIDA t The action of the members of the legislature of the Slate of Florida in passing a measure abolishing the convict lease system is a step forward for better govt- ernment, to say the Jesst, more humane government. Like ail other statps, the lease system proved little short of a torment on earth for those ho-were so un fortunate as to be incarcerated in the camps operat ed by men who had no feeling for the preservation of the health of-the convicts sold to them by the stato officials. In an investigation conducted by the mcm-. bers of the Florida legislature it was brought out and proved that in the average canfp of that state tho con victs 'were whipped unmercifully, and often to the point of death for having violated some trivial rule or regulation of the camp. The, whipping bosses were shown to bo brptal in the extreme and regard less of the condition of the man who .wore stripes, whipping of the most serious bharacter \y$n resorted to sometimes resulting in the! death, pf iwcoftvlct The sat e of the young man from .Dakota,Twho was confined in n camp in that state, was one of the most horrible in the annals of penitentiary life ever record ed. Th i evidence in the case showed that the young man while sick and in a helpless condition was forced to work and when his physiol strength gave out and he could no longer follow the gang of convicts he was taken to the camp and whipped unmercifully, dy ing a Tew days later from the punishment he re ceived at the hands of a heartless nnd hn„«i boss. hands of a heartless and brutal whipping Tliat the State of Florida has abolished this system' will attract nation-wide attention and counteract any criticism that such practices are winked at or con- donej by the law-abiding clement in that state. It " ! S rovc elevating to the citizenship of Florida and will have a moral effect which will be far-reaching and yipful to those who are trying to stamp out such practices in other states. —^Gd&rgia is to be congratulated on abolishing the 1,10 sus P ension of whipping rules in 'arious state camps of the state.
