THE VALUE OF EDUCATION Every parent and guardian should see to it. that every child of school age is enrolled in the schools of the city. From the first grades to the High school age, children should be encouraged and if need be required to attend school. There should be no “back-firing” on the part of those responsible for the child. • An education is an asset worth more to the child than a legacy of worldly goods. Educate the children of the community and they will be pre pared to support themselves and accumulate a bounty for old age. The United States Bureau of Education has caused a survey to find if possible what an education means to the average boy or girl in dollars and cents. Here is the report after r.n exhaustive research of the con dition : _ Every day spent in school pays the child $9.25. Here is the proof, based on the wage scale of 1913: Uneducated laborers earn on the average of $500 per year for forty years, a total of $20,000. High school graduates earn on the average of $1,000 per year for forty years a-total of $40,000. . This education required twelve years of school of 180 days each, a total of 2,160 days in school. If 2,160 days at school add $20,000 to the in come for life, then each day at school adds $9.25. The child that stays .out of school to earn less than $9 a day Is losing money—not making money. This gives some Idea of the value of the days spent at school. The figures will be «urprising ta many and convincing to those who want to give serious consideration to them. If there is A child of school age in Athens not in , school, some one should be held responsible and an effort made to provide a way in .which the child can be given the opportunity of attending and re ceiving the behmiuL-fur an education as provided for by the municipal!^. Education is a heritage which should be given to cvfery ohild. STRICTER LAWS SHOULD BE ENACTED '-Georgia is sadly in need of a stricter ia,w regulat ing and controlling the use of the deadly firearm. There are more, murders and self-inflicted deaths arising from the use of pistols than from any other source. The Donaldsonville Nows in commenting on what the legislature did. not qo has the following to say on the subject of firearms: More than 1,200 murders have been recorded with the state bureau of vital statistics during the last three years in Which firearms were tl)o weapons used. Each year shows an increase of .approximately 10% over the previous year, , Firearms were used in 896 homicides in 1920, Kg' The records of 1921 show an increase of 86, , with n total of 405, and 1922 an increase of 22 over that of 1921, with, a total of 427. _ The bureau has no record of the ones committing the murder, but the record included 302 whites ' ' and 896 negroes. Of the whites 23 were fe-> males and 279 males. Of the negroes 188 were feihaies and 763 males. EmSI During the same three years firearms were used by 269 people in comlnitting suicide and 550 were killed by the accidental discharge, making n total of 2,010 deaths due to the use of pistols or shotguns. The record of 1920, 1921 and 1922 show a total Of 1,611 homicides. In 72 per cent of this total firearms were-used and^in 93 per cent of the murders by firearms the piste! was the weapon used. Is it not about time to restrict the promiscuous sale and use of this deadly weapon 7 The News is absolutely right in its view on the subject There should be strict legislation passed by the members of the general assembly as to the sale and use of firearms. The number of murders and suicides recorded during the past three years from the use of pistols is alahning. It mav be are-nod that tne peraon who Is intent on killing or the one who is ( determined to commit suicide will -do so through some other agency or means but this is not sound. The ease with which firearms can be secured ap- - ?if- to t * le wou *d-be murderer or suicide to use ^ . thu mean* f " r Ms <* her purpose. Only a few days - ago in this city, in a fit of despondency, no doubt, a prominent citizen chose this method of destroying his life for the reason that it was the least trouble of any and a pistol was purchased as easily as it would have been for him to have purchased a pair of shoes, No law to require questionnaires or affidavit as to the intended use of the firearm was to be put. If some re.trictions of this kind were required by the laws of the state, it may be that that man would be alive to day and in a different mood and frame of mind—one far from committing any act of this kind. , The press of the state and the public should urge and demand that strict regulations be enacted by the next legislature controMii.g th‘d i*£cral use and pub- chase of firearms. ■ Bo **t [i 7 WERE Do Ve \ i Go ?i?cw\ Hebe 1 Around Athens I a chees With Col.
