Thoughts For The Day The simple believeth every word; but the prudent man Iooketh well to his going.—rrov. i:15. ,It is a curious paradox that precisely in propor tion to our own intellectual weakness, will be our credulity as to the mysterious powers assumed by others.—Colton. HEALTH INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS The system of health inspection of the schools in augurated by the city and county authorities has proved a most valuable protection to the children of the community. Under the direction of Dr. Apple- white this work has been carried on for the past year and has resulted in bringing.to thq attention of those in authority and to the attention of \ the par ents of the children a condition which was unex pected. Out of 1463 examinations during the school year, 943 children have shown physical defects. Some of the affections are serious and, yet the par ent, no doubt, had the least thought of the serious condition his or her child was in. While this report should not be considered alarming, yet it should be given careful and serious consideration and the di rection of Dr. Applewhite caried out in every par ticular as to the treatment required for these child- rC The inauguration of a health inspection for the various .schools has been an advanced step in the protection of the children and for the making of sound minds and bodies for the future citizenry of the community. Parents should co-operate in the fullest and have the proper treatment given to those children who are suffering physical defects of any character by their physicians. FOR THE NEXT YEAR Every town and city throughout the nation should ' adopt a plan for the betterment of conditoins and for i the betterment of the communities for the new year which is near upon us. Jessup has adoptd four prin ciples which if lived up to are bound to help that community. They are: First. Back up the home town business men. They are doing their best to serve you. •^.'Second. Join good civic organizations, and help 1 carry on the good work for your home town, to which others have devoted and are giving so much effort. Third . Make some personal addition to the . neatness and beauty of your town by improving your home place. , . Fourth. Help support the home newspaper, which working in every issue to get good things for your niniity, ..the people of Athens will emulate the augges- ... lions adopted by the people of Jessup, there will be a markd improvement in the conditions here. It is a splendid plan and one which will build and help any -community. ‘ The new year is near at hand and some organiza tion, civic body or the city officials should undertake to outline some plan fer another year. There must be concerted action on the part of the citizenship, if I the community grows and prospers and becomes an ideal place for the homCSeeker and investor. New citizens must be attracted; new industries must be secured if we ever hope to expand and come into our 1 own ns a desirable location for the building of a great city. It requires not only .money, but men of enterprise, thrift and resourcefulness to build citias; morals, educational institutions-and schools. Athens ;is po-sessed with every requirement to meet all de mands for an ideal home and investors seeking such a place will find it to their interest to plant their busi ness and citizenship in Athens and Clarke county. Let the Chamber of Commerce inaugural^ a plan for the new year and let the citizens of the commun ity rally to the movement and help to make a new Tqcprd for the growth of this city and county during the incoming new year, 1924. ter of twq "Yon cerrii too fiis-Mz month*.' it Joke! e n tlrelr l/Vi J J f Berton Braley’s Daily Poems PERFECTLY CLEAR if you have seen a gibberdln cavorting on the green.

The .offisinfn and civic organizations have undertaken to- rid that city of these undesirable characters, but with v l>ttle success. The army of beggars have grown sp -great tinti! the organized bodies have adopted a slo- HsjT with which they hope to check the imposition being place i upon the unsuspecting pul-b’c under the guise of iharity. The slogan given wide publicity says: “Do nrt give until it Hurts unless yau know to whom and for what you are giving.” Not only New York, but right here in Athens our people have suffered from misplaced charity and it is no uncommon occurence to meet on the streets beg gars, apparently maimed or deformed offering shoe strings, pencils, chewing gum and matches for sale; some begging straightout. None of these people are properly questioned or investigated as to their worthiness and from day to day they ply their trade .imposing on the kind and charitable-hcarted citizen of Athens. Misplaced charity ia a breeding source for paupers and undesirable citizens. “Once a pauper, always a pauper” is a true saying. There should' be' L «*me concerted action on the part of the. officials to ■ rid the city of all such characters. ‘ , nee Uint no medleln. for colds, | fnnie anrt Rlnnti'Ftfrirhtm, mot with signal success.
