Thoughts For The Day
We are troubled on every side, yet not dis-
( tressed; we ere perplexed f but not in despair}
persecuted, but not forsaken; caat down, but not

, SCHOOL OF INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLICE
i V The Civil Service Commission of Augusta, has in-
v augurated a school for systematic training of police
officers. It is a step in advance and one which is
bound to prove of much value not only to the police
department but for improved service on the part of
the police to the public.
Commissioner Harry Jones in the course of his
i remarks advocating the establishment of the school,
said;
"In the Police Department we have some ex
cellent men; just as good men as you will find in
any department anywhere in the United States,
but the majority of men, I find know nothing
absolutely about a policeman’s duties. I do not
lay the blame on you men for the fact that you
have had no training along these lines. The
trouble lies with oiir system, and this is what
we want to regulate.”
The innovation of a school of instruction for
policemen by the oivil service commission of Athens
would prove of wonderful service to the community.
Such instructions would make the members of the
police force more, efficient, painstaking, conserva
tive, thoughtful arrd considerate of not only the re
quirements of their duties, but of the public and
their welfare. To make a good policeman requires
training; it is a business, a technical business; one
which requires much tact and resourcefulness. A
green man initiated into police service is incapable.
Giving him a badge, a uniform, a pistol and a club
does not make him a good officer. Often it make*
him a very undesirable officer and citizen,. The
personnel of the Athens pMiee department is above
the average, but they lack training and coaching.
Some of them have been on the force for years and
from pract'cal experience they have grown old in
the business and know it from' bottom to top, but
it has taken them years to reach the stage. Others
with only a few years experience cannot bo expect
ed to render service equal to that of the older men in
service—no matter how efficient and capable they
may be. Augusta has set a pace which all other
cities should emulate. Athens commissioners will
make no mistako by establishing a school of in
structions for our police force.
REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE
The meeting here this week, called by State Su
perintendent Ballard, b of more than ordinary im
portance. It affects the public school system not
only locally but of the entire state. It is the be-
gining of a campaign of education for the people
which it is hoped will lead to the adoption of the,
county unit system in every county in the stale.
Superintendent Ballard is bringing to Athens for
the conference a number of educators connected
with the state superintendent’s office,—state school
•upervison, and a’ number of teachers from the va-
rious schools in fourteen counties in thiB section. It
will be an important gathering and one in wjiich the
ptiblic should show everv interest, especially in this
■ county where the unit system for schools has been
advocated for a number of years. Clarke county is
ready to adopt the system and it is only a matter
of some one taking the lead in the campaign for the
inauguration of consolidated schools.
A few yeSTs ago, a number of gentlemen led by
Mr. Aaron Cohen Interested themselves in the move-
ment—an election was held and the establishment of
the unit system failed by a wry small margin of
votes. There was not so much opposition to the
system as there was lack of knowledge of its work
ings. Since that time, however, sentiment has
changed and should the matter now be left to the
voters of the county there would be no question of it
being voted by an overwhelming majority.
After this conference has been held, it is hoped
that some one will see to it that the matter is brought
again to the attention of the city and county authori
ties and that the question of a county unit system
will be submitted to the people for their rejection
or adoption. ’ ».
It is with some degree of satisfaction to learn
that a better understanding is about to be reached’
between France and Germany as to the collection of
the claim of France and the payment of the claim
by Germany. However, there is no question but
that France will continue firm until a satisfactory ad
justment is made by Germany.
The large. increase in attendance in the public
schools of Georgia is a most encouraging indiration
of future prospects for better citizenship. These
boys and girls will control the destiny of the state
and upon them will rest the responsibility of a
greater and better Georgia.
Cotton Is piling into Athens on wagons from every
county in this section causing a brisk revival in all
lines of business.
Athens is one of the best markets ia the stats to

THE BEAUTY BOX
By Ikrton Briley
Thu girl ot today,
With her Vanity caae,
Keeps worklnK away,
Reconstructing her face.
While coffee she sips,-
Ere to labor she goes,
She lip-sticks her lips
And she powders her nose.
In office or shop,
From moraine till night,
Shell freauently stop
To set her face right;
And when out she skips,
With her various beaux,
She-lip-sticks hor lips
Ami she- powders her nose.
If good luck or ill,
And whatever fate brings,
Unfailingly still
To this habit she clings.
When joy’s in eclipse,
Or when happiness glows,
She lip-sticks her lips
And f he powders her nose.
If life proves too rough,
She will smooth it again
With rouge and with puff.
And I'll wager that whejf
Past Peter she slips,
Where tide pearly gat* shows,
She'll' lip-itlcle her lips
' aho’ll powder her nose.
