Progressive Training vs. Pupil Cost
| By DIANA PRICE
~ New York is now to see whether primary school
“ education of the “progressive” type usually under
faken only in expensive private schools can hei
given at a cost near what the city pays per pupil
S 8 & lax-supported system using the elder methods.
Such an experiment has just commenced in a four
storied concrete building in Greenwich Village
which is the new incarnation of the Little Red
Schoolhouse conducted by Miss Elisabeth Irwin.
Until last spring the Little Red Schoolhouse con
gisted of experimental classes in “progressive” edu
ecation conducted by Miss Irwin at Public School 41,
which were given up because of financial difficul
ties.
Tuition for the school year ending June 1 is $125,
which compares with a per pupil cost of $105.11 in
the elementary and junior high schools of New
r:lf’ork city. Many private schools of the ‘progres
';fli‘ve” type charge around S6OO. The new gchool,
‘equipped for an enrollment of 150, begins with 145,
inf whom 25 are paying no tuition. It is part of
m Irwin’s plan to take some without charge and
to provide scholarships for as many as possible,
Bhe now has five scholarships financed.
};Warious economies are counted upon by Miss
Jrwin to make possible the operation of her school
on a relatively low income. One economy is through
the use of large classes—large, that is, for "pro
_gressive” schools. She is to have from 30 to 35
pupils in hers, which brings her classes near the
% age size set for New York city. A second econ
~omy, Miss Irwin points out, will be made by low
ering the cost of supervision.
. “In thé public schools,” she explains, “each teach
~er's work is supervised by two or three other teach
ers. In our school there will be no such duplication
of effort. In most private schools, also, special
teachers augment the regular teaching staff. In our
‘#chool, teachers are selected for different abilities.
In. addition to regular classroom work, each teacher
is able to give some special instruction. In that way
. _v_‘?g!,t«*the salaries for special teachers.”
~ | Other savings are to be made 'by the application
of considerable ingenuity ¢in getting work done.
‘Parents of the children have given their time and
money to fixing up the tchool plant. Miss Irwin
‘says that without -this help it would have been im
possible to launch the school so soon.
~ln the study halls, also, the murals still await the
ni; shing touches. of the children who are decorating
their own classrooms. The pupils will do this and
other work as part of their class activities, for co
%‘ the director believes, is a fundamental
art of ‘the school training. Cooperation is given
recedence over the 'three Rs in the curriculum of
‘the Little Red Schoolhouse. :
% going over resources of the school the inquir
ing visitor notes a certain vagueness as to what
the annual income will actually be from tuition,
seholarships and donations.. One gets the impres-
Sion that the ventue is being put through with high
‘couragesand no little worry. Resources’ must be
1 to meet the $21,000 budget worked out for this
% . The director and her staff say they are pre
_pared to take any salary cuts to insure success.
Jrhu curriculum of the Little Red Schoolhouse
_carries into every meok and corner of the city. The
6-year-olds as well as the older children will go on
“wisits to the Coney Island lighthouse, to see the
_pshead Bay fishermen, on dock inspections ¢nd
80 on. The learning process of this school thus is
“ take place chiefly through experience.
fi* “In most public schools, reading, writing and
arithmetic are given precedence,” Miss Irwin ex
plains. “In the ‘progressive’ school they are subor
dinated to other things which we believe the child
needs to learn before he learns to read, write and
figure. :
' “By this Tdo not mean that a child must not
‘gtrengthen weak points. Each day each child in our
sehool dévotes a half hour to his weakest subject.
During that period he concentrates on gpelling, word
recognition, whatever it is that slows him down.
Whe children read charts made as a result of their
trips. In_this way they build up a vocabulary that
means something to them, instead of a mere set of
symbols or a list of words. It profits a child nothing
readg page in a book unless he knows well what
the words mean.
. “Wor@ recognition, we feel, is made easy through
the sy%m of charts we use. In these charts we
are following the work of well-known educators
who are developing ‘progressive’ educational meth
ods. When our children begin to read they aead
with a sweep. That is, the eye does not settle
slowly on ach }Jvord. ‘lt sweeps across the page,
aking in the meaning of a whole sentence or a para
;t&the same with arithmetic. Children faain
o add and subtract when they go.on trips and han
le money; they pay for things they buy in the
parkets. It is not necessary for a child to under
"m root, but he must know how to add,
Bubtract, multiply, divide.”—New York Times.

¢ Farm Debt Revision .
- By BRUCE CATTON
£ When Senator Borah urges downward revision of
: 'tfi 0,000,000 load of debt carried by the Amer
fjean farmer he is simply pointing out to us a thing
fii§ nation as a whole has been amazingly
jow to realize—namely, that American agriculture
jas skidded down into a situation so critical that

A DANGEROUS AMENDMENT
A dangerous and secretive amendment
to the constitution was slipped through
(the last session of the legislature, which,
(if ratified by the voters of Georgia in the
I’general election to be held on Tuesday,
November 8, will cost the county of
!Clarke, the City of Athens and the schoonls
lnear $100,000.00. This amendment has a
‘misleading caption and not a line in the
’a(‘t pertains to the caption. Besideg the
language describing the proposed amend
ment to be printed on the ballot is couched
in innocent terms, merely stating: “For
ratification of amendment to Paragraph|
il. Section 2, Article 7 of the constitution,
‘authorizing classification on intangible
[property for taxation and the adoption of
different rates and methods for different
classes of such property, to exempt forest
lands from taxation, and to limit the state
ad valorem tax”.
Under the provisions of this amendment
counties, municipalities and school dis-i
tricts of the state would be prohibited
from levying and collecting taxes on in-|
tangible property such as franchises of
public corporations, bank stocks, bonds
and other intangible property. The sole
purpose of the amendment is to relieve
from taxation all intangible property and
place the burden of taxation on real es-‘
tate, farm lands and improved property
and household goods. ‘
In practically every county in the state,
organizations have been and are now
being perfected for the purpose of oppos
ing the ratification of this amendment at
the polls in the general election. Few peo
ple will understand the danger of this
amendment, ‘unless they are informed.
The citizens of Athens and Clarke county
should organize an educational campaign
committee for the purpose of defeating
this abomiable amendment. It was born
in the mind of the special interests and
secreted through the legislature with the
hopes that its real purpose and intent
would not be detected until after it had
heen ratified by the votes of the people.
Now that the scheme has been exposed,
it is the duty of a just and fair public to
see to it that this amendment is over
whelmingly defeated in the general elec
tion.
JUST A POOR MAN
Some days ago a news item appeared
in the press of the country, stating that
Governor Roosevelt’s income amounted to
$%42,5600 a year. There was nothing of a
startling character about the amount, as
for a man of the outstanding prominence
nf Franklin D. Roosevelt, such a sum
would not be considered large nor would
it indicate graft or corruption. However,
the report came to the ears of Governor
Roosevelt, to which he replied, “I wish it
were true’”’. As governor of New York,
Mr. Roosevelt draws a salary of $25,000
a year. There are no emoluments attach
ed to the office, consequently, the Demo
cratic nominee for the presidency of the
United States, is just an ordinary man
drawing an ordinary salary—-the same as
paid to all governors of New York-—no
more, no less, so why the publicity?
Prior to his election and inauguration,
Governor Roosevelt held the office of vice
president of an insurance company for
which he received a salary of $25,000 a
year. No more than he now receives as
governor of the Empire State of the na
tion.
Governor Roosevelt is not a rich man;
he has never schemed or planned to amass
a great fortune, but has plodded along in
an honest and conscientious manner doing
his duty and trying to be of service to his
people. He has succeeded in his aspira
tions and now, if he is elected to the pres
idency of the United States, he will con
tinue to devote his time and talents in the
service of the people giving to them the
best there is in him for their benefit and
for the benefit of the nation.
If Governor Roosevelt is elected presi
dent of this country, he will not change
one iota in his way of living and his man
ners and conduct towards the people; he
will continue in the even tenor of his way,
holding out a helping hand and offering
a word of cheer to everyone with whom
he may come in contact.
His critics, no doubt, are eager to find
something on which to base criticism, but
so far, the shrewdest of the leaders of the
Republican party have been unable to lo
cate a single item derogatory to his char
acter or to his official acts. Governor
Roosevelt is a clean man; a man of high
ideals; a citizen whose every thoug)t and
act is worthy of recognition and emula
tion.
A DESERVED PROMOTION
The announcement of an order issued
by Secretary of the Navy Adams promot
ing Frank Hardeman Brumby with the
title of Rear Admiral in command of the
Battleship Division No. 1, will be received
with much interest and pleasure on the
part of his friends and relatives here. For
some time, Commander Brumby has been
stationed at Portsmouth, Va., as e¢om
mandant of the Norfolk Navy Yard. His
record since entering the service has war
ranted a number of promotions for him.
He will immediately go to the west coast
where his battle fleet is located and as
sume command of his flagship, the U. S.|
S. Texas.
Rear Admiral Brumby is a native Ath
enian, born and reared here, a son of
the late Captain and Mrs. J. W. Brumby,
and a brother of Misses Mary Harris and
Anne Brumby. He is an alumnus of the
University of Georgia and of the Naval

A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
BY HUGH ROWE
The business venture of op
erating one of the largest
dairies in the South, by a
former society belle of Atlan
ta, is told in a news story
~ and illustrated with pictures
~ of the dairy and fine breed
cows.
The brave and resourceful little
woman, who has met with much
success with her business under
taking is Mrs, Ewell Gay, the
daughter of the late W, D. Ellis
and Mrs. Ellis. As Miss Adgate
Ellis she is well known to many
Athenians and has a number of
relatives here. Her mother, now
the widow Ellis, was Miss Blanche
Lipscomb, of -this city, daughter of
the late Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb and
a sister of Colonel Frank A.
Lipscomb, of this eity, She is a
graduate of the Lucy Cobb Insti
tute and spent many of her girl
hood days in Athens.
From the lengthy news item ap
pearing in the Atlanta Constitu
tion, a few paragraphs are here
with reproduced:
“"Announcement was made Wed
nesday of the purchase by Mrs.
Ewell Gay, owner of the well
known Gaymont dairy, of the Oak
Terrace farm - from . Dr, 1. C.
Fischer, and the merger of these
two dairies, which will continue
to operate under the name QGay
mont, makes this dairy the lar
gest in the south.
“The consolidated dairies are lo
cated near Sandy Springs, on the
Roswell road.
“The story of the rapid rige in.
the business world of Mrs. Ewell
Gay, owner of the Gaymont dairy
and socially = prominent Atlantan,
reads like fiction. The story of her
life up to the present time would
make an interesting scenario, filled
with color, romance, pathos and
succesy, all so necessary for a
successful film.
“Born in the lap of luxury with
a background inherited from blue
,)looded ancestors of southern aris
tocracy, this prominent young ma
tron reigned as Miss Adgate Ellis
in Atlanta society during ' her
young womanhood. She was given
every advantage In education and
travel by her parents, Mrs. W. D.
Ellis and the late Mr. Ellis, whose
families for generations have pro
duced renowned educators, Jjurists
and social leaders, —her paternal
grandfather having been the late
Judge W. D. Ellis. :

Miss Ellis continued her social tri<
umphs with never a thought of 1
pusiness career, Three years ago
she was left a wiGow with threa
study young sens, Ellis, Frank
and Kweil Gay, jr. Then it became
her responsibility to assume the
role of father as well as mother.
“It was at this period she enter
ed the business world,' casting
aside all thoughts of society and
its interests.
“Her success in the new career,
for which she had absolutely no
training, is better told with the
announcement of the merger ©f
Oak Terrace with Gaymont, of
which ‘the subject of this story is
sole owner. |
“Three years ago when it fell to
Mrs. Gay to undertake the opera
tion of Gaymont dairy begun int
1893 by her husband’s father, the |
late Captain Edward S. Gay, as ai
hobby, the enterprise appeared 10|
this inexperienced woman s huge |
as a white elephant. |
“But ‘today is another story. i
Thé ' white elephant, which then |
consisted of 35 cows and 33 acres,
has been developed into a large
profitable business over which the
gociety belle of a few years ago '
reigns with all -the dignity and
ability of one who had }mown‘
years of business training.” '
The postoffice department
has announced a number of
material increases in parcel
post rates, effective the first of
October in all postoffices.
According to announcement
made by the postal officials, the
parcel post department of the gov
ernment has been a liability in
stead of an asset, the expenditures
for 1930 showing a loss of $15,-
000,000, It is said that the losses
were confined to certain zones,
athers showing a profit. The new
-s(;alt-s are designed to equalize
the rates- which is estimated will
show an increase of from 1 to 3
cents, depending upon weight ' and
distance. .
The new rates are: First and
second zones, 8 cents for the first
pound or a fraction of a pound,
and 1.1 cents for each additional
