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 trade in.

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. tiers L iterally thousands of letters recommending the use ot 8.8.8. —the greet blood purifier and sys tem builder—all telling how 8.8.8. restores the state ot well being by creating red blood cells are re ceived dally by the manufacturers ot 8.8.8.
