GEORGIA A HEALTHY STATE
Georgia can boast of being the healthiest state in
the union—that is the death rate in this state is
lower than in any pther state in the south and muoh
lower than for the whole country; its death rate being
10.4 while that of the United States shows by statis
tics to be 11.8. This is a splendid showing for
Georgia, but there is room for improvement. The
state board Of health and the county and city
boards of health should employ every means to re
duce all causes, for producing contagious diseases
and inaugurate a thorough sanitary system in every
community. Too much care and diligence can not
be exercised in formulating health restrictions and
causing them to be enforced. Georgia can be made
the health garden spot of the nation and with its
resources backed by the proper requirements of
health laws there is no telling to what degree of de
creased death rate can be secured.
Possessing climatic conditions favorable to health;
pure water and desirable seasons; soils adapted to
the growth of all agricultural products, this state
has a future for development before it superior to all
other states in the southern section of the country.
Our people .are progressive and alive to every in
terest for the protection of its people from disease
and sickness and in our commercial and industrial
activities there is no state in the union which has a
great force of moral determination to succeed than
has the people of Georgia. The opportunities are
here and it may be depended that every advantage
supplied by nature will be accepted and developed
and this state made one of the most inviting fields for
homeseekers and investors.
(A realization of the great opportunities possessed
by this stato will cause an awakening and a revival
in all lines which has not heretofore been experienced.

WHY MEDICAL INSPECTION IN SCHOOLS?
One of the most advanced and important inaugura
tions for the protection of school children has been
the introduction of medical inspeotion by the authori
ties in the various communities throughout the coun
try.
The Dublin Courier-Herald in commenting on medi
cal inspection in schools has the following to say on
the subject: o
The medical inspection of schools is no longer
an experiment, but a pressing necessity. It is
found on a recognition of the • close connection
which exists between the physical and- mental
condition of children in the whole .process of
education. It seeks to secure ultimately for
every child, normal or defective conditions of life
compatible with that, full and effective develop
ment of its organic functions, its special senses,
and spiritual powers which constitute a true
education.
The object of medical inspections of schools
ia not primarily the treatment of disease, but
rather their prevention. One of the objects ia
the early recognition of physical, defects such as
errors of refraction,imperfect hearing, malform
ations of the body from abnormal positions, ad
nolda, enlarged tonsils, and other obstructions
of breathing and sources of inflammation. An
important object of medical inspections of
school children is to determine their "fitness to
enter school and to recognize mental and nervous
disorders; also the early recognition of com
municable diseases and measures to prevent their
spread; the supervision of vaccinations and
disinfection; the teaching of personal hygiene to
the pupils and teachers, and the sanitation and
cleanliness of the school building and its sur
roundings^ and the medical supervision of
mental and physical work of the child.
In Athens and Clarke county the worth of such in
spections has been clearly demonstrated through the
work and efforts, of Dr. Applewhite, health officer.
His reports published recently showed a large per-
■ centage of the school children in this city suffering
from various affectations which; if allowed to go
untreated would have destroyed the health of the
children and pdksibly brought on death at an early
age. ✓
It is po be hoped that the authorities will see to it
that every aid is given to the Ijealth officers-of the
schools and that every precaution is taken to, remedy
the-condition- which Is bound'to arise in ail communi
ties and among children at a tender age. Checked
by the proper treatment and operations practically
every child of school age can be made a healthy and
robust child. We owe it to ourselves and we owe it'
to the citizenship of tomorrow to provide service and
' treatment for the protection of those who are unable-
. to secure treatment and to furnish to those who are
able, but not aware of the true condition of their
children information of their condition. Ailments
of the slightest can become serious unless the proper *
attention and treatment is given at th6 proper time.
I.ct the officials continue their work of medical in-
rpetcion in the schools and see to it that every child is
given the opportunity of freeing itself from disease
and complications which may bring on broken health
and early deaths.

After all, the escape of Ger

the old adage of the "evil wind 1
and so oft is applicable to this
case. Through prosecution of this
case, Aesletant District Attorney
Goree, of the federal court, met
and wooed Mlaa Ramey, the star

their ,own. "Mr. Editor,” said a
patron one day, “How Is it you
never call on me to pay for your

replied, “How do you manage to

gives to tho actor the better of the

At a dinner a well-known come

as he sat down a lawyer arose,
thrust his hands into hi, trousers
pockets and inquired:

When the laughter had subsided

“Doesn't it strike, this company
as a litUo unusual that a lawyer
should hare his hands in hjs own

ATHENS TWELVE YEARS AGO
Sunday, December 17, 1923.
Weather: Colder and clearing.
Vesper carol services were held
at Lucy Cobb Institute.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dow Boy-
mer, of Savannah, announced the
.engagement of their daughter,
(Ruth, to Mr. Hugh Welch White,
Around Athens [
With Col. T. Larry Gantt
Miss Emma Black, of Carlton,!
daughter of Mr. Stephen Black,
died a few days ago. She had
been a sufferer for some time and;
her demise.was not unexpected.!
The deceased lady has many rela-.
tivts in Athens including the
Thornton’s and other families of
our city from Elbert.
Hon. J. D. Price was sn attend-
dant on a convention - held at
Miami, Fla. He says timet are
tore prosperous in the Land of
Flowers, and he never saw so
much money in circulation. Groat
fortunes are being made in land
deals. Mr. Price says had he tho
money to spare he would have
been tempted to invest in some of
the Florida dirt. There are thous
ands of tourists In Florida and
they continue to pour In.
Hon. J. W. Jarrell is again
spending a sdason at his farm in
Oglethorpe county and is doing
nicely. Manager Jarrell of tho
telephone exchange, says he re
cently visited their old home and
they have made good crops and
plenty of food staff for next year.
Mr. King Howard says the
Lexington cheese factory is
great success and made money
from the day it started. Farmers
are adding to their dairy herds.
The county made a much better
cotton crop than expected and
mosf farmers have plenty of eup-
-'ies to do them next year. Mr.
Howard says their banking busi
ness is also prospering.
Mr. 0, T. Adams, on the Dan-
felsville road, seven - years ago
bought eight acres of- land and
began the trucking business. He
has also a beautiful orchard of
peaches, pears, cherries, figs,
plums and grapes, and his trees
are kept- in fine condition. Mr.
Adsms does not sell through tho
curb market, but supplies the
dealers of our city with fruit and
vegetables. He says it is easy to
make 300 bushels of. Irish potatoes
per acre, from tho spring plant
ing. When ha brings a load of
truck to the city he carries back
a load of stable manure. Ho U3os
a ton of high grade fertilizer also
per acre. This truck farm and
orchard is one of tho show places
of our section.
One of onr leading farmers sug
gests that we urge those who in
tend to plant cotton next year to
lay in a supply of calcium arse-
nato when they buy fertilizers, so
as to bo certain of getting a sup
ply. Tho use of this poison will
be greatly extended next year and
tho supply may run short. It is n
waste of time to plant cotton un
less you use poison according to
instructions.
A gentleman who lives on the
Bankhead Highway just beyond
the city limits, says not one-
fourth as many tourist care are
passing ns at this season last
year. Travel has been diverted
by way of Augusta. Tho rough
stretch of road through Madison
and Franklin coutnles ia what ails
Hannah. This highway problem
ia tho most important matter now
confronting our organized bus!-
ness bodies.

Mr. Dorsey Davis has just re
turned from a business trip to
Lavonia in Franklin county. Ho
says they have made good crops in
that section and conditions seem
better than with tbe counties
around Athena. But Mr. Davia
says it looks like farmers are
preparing to plant another bump
er cottoh crop next year, and if
they do,* and a rainy summer seta
in, they will bo in a deplorable
condition, like the cotton section
South Georgia. They are not
sowing so much smsll grain as at
this season last year.
A conservative citizen yester
day suggested that it ia in the
power of our hanks, merchants
and fertilizer men to force farm
ers to diversify their crops and
not plant their house-tops and
front yards in the fleecy staple.
He says before loaning a fanner
money, making any advance or
giving credit, require every farm
er to sign a contract pledging
himself to diversify his crops and
confine his cotton crop; to a tea-
