Will He Head Mercer or Atlanta Schools? Atlanta, Ga., June 18.-*-Two re ports have come to Atlanta of eiforts to secure the services of State Super intendent of Education M. L. Brittain. One that he will be offered the super- Intendency of the city schools of At lanta, a place which was tendered him and declined a couple of years ago. The other that there If a move ment on foot to tender him the presi dency of Mercer University to suc ceed Mr. Pickard. On the former occasion Mr. Brittain took the position that, though the At lanta offer was considerably In excess of that paid by the state office, the work be Is engaged in for the state Is so highly Important and has always so particularly appealed to him that he would not give It up. Why Didn't He Volunteer (From the Windy City Echo, pub lished on the 18th of each month by the 13th engineers In France—written by O. H. Beyer, Co. A.) Why Didn’t 1 Wait to Be Drafted T Why didn't I wait to be drafted, And be led to the train by a band, And put in a claim for exemption. Oh, why did I hold np my hand! Why didn't I wait for the banquet, Why didn’t I wait to be cheered, For the dratted man get all the credit, While I only VOLUNTEERED. And nobody gave me a banquet. And nobody gave me a kind word, The grind of the wheels of the engine Was the only goodbye that 1 beard. Then off to the Camp I was hustled To be trained for the next half year, And then In shuffle forgotten, I was only a VOLUNTEER. And maybe some day In the future When my little boy sits on my knee And asks what I did In the Conflict And his little eyes look up to me I will have to look back as I am blush ing To the eyes that so trustingly peer .And tell him I missed being drafted, I was only a VOLUNTEER. The ANSWER. Why didn't you wait to be drafted? The answer Is simple enough. You needed no brass band to lead you You're made of the right kind of atuff. Your banquet will come when Ita over— That’s when you : will want to be cheered, And when you know you deserved It, Because you volunteered. Don't get discouraged so quickly. From what I have seen I’ve a hunch That out of bis millions of soldiers, Uncle Sam likes you best of the bunch You don't complain ef your duties. Of hardships you have not to fear; You lick np your meals with a relish Because you're a volunteer. You weren't dragged in by a number As thongh you were uotblng at all. And you didn’t go round with a frown on. Afraid that your country would call You didn't buy every paper 1 scan the draft columns with fear; marched right along kith your head up you had volunteered. : if the little draft Willies i more praise; t the kaiser, that we want these Woodmen Prepare For Great Fourth of July Event In City of Athens Arrangements for the organizing ot the degree camp of the Woodmen ot the.World in Athens on July 4th are fast being completed and the com mittee having the matter in charge report the outlook very good. During the past week more than twenty let ters of Inquiry have been received from different rectlona of the state showing the interest being taken lu the movement. Plans are being formulated by which all uniform rank companies ot the order in the sUte will be present and participate in the exercises of the day. Tlte programme of entertainments are about complete but are not yet ready for the public as there alt- several interesting features yet to be added It the plans of the committee can be carried out It Is Intended to make of tills meet ing a patriotic demonstration In keep ing with the spirit of the times. The Woodmen of the World is declared to be one of the most patriotic organiza tions, as is evidenced by the fact that this organization has subscribed to more than two million dollars Liberty Bonds and has lent valuable assistance to the work of the Red Cross organization. A fitting recog nition of the importance of this order bas-been given by President Wilson In appointing the. Sovereign Com mander W. A. Fraser as a member of the advisory board of war risk Insur ance, representing fraternal Incur >nce interests. The fact that the Degree Camp to o organised In Athens on July 4th will be the first one organized in the state gives It a peculiar Interest to the many members of the order here and the success of the movement will a a matter ot pride to them. on Berlin, boys; bran budi ud R, Co.

W. S. S. will help buy liberty and justice. If you save to the utmost of vour capacity and buy W. S. S. and Liberty Bonds to the limit of your financial resources you will be as genuinely patriotic as anyone. But do not fog- get that this means the limit of your financial resources—the limit reached after downright, ftard saving—saving that represents sacrifice. Should we not consider It a privilege to save to help our boys? J. Leonard Replogle, a foremost man In the-country’s steel Industry, and now Director of Steel Supply ot the War Industries Board, says: "This Is a crisis, and commercialism must be absolutely sidetracked. There Is Just one thing that we have to do— win the war?” When one of our soldier or sailor boys mskes the supreme sacrifice we say he died doing his duty. When ono of us over here buys an Interest-bear ing government security we want to be called a patriot. eLt’s buy War 8avlngs Stamps to help our country and not to be glorified. Too much Importance has been given to Thrift Stamps. They are all right In their place. Bnt do not make tbe mistake of thinking you have done yonr duty when you have bought a Thrift 8tamp when you should have bought a $5 W. 8, S. There Is patriotism In trying to deceive your self and your go' ernment.- George M. Reynolds, president of the Continental and Commercial Na tional Bank of Chicago, says: "If we get to be a Nation ot wise savera we shall also be a Nation with a more certain business future.” Are you grateful that 2,040,090 of our boys, enlisted In our Army and Navy, are giving us security at home? If yon are .turn yonr gratitude Into War Savings Stamps. It Is cheaper to spend a a lot ot money to win the war than not to win K. Lend yonr money as freely as our boys are giving tbemseWee.

Reports From College*. Last year 616 boys and 601 girls, graduates ot the accredited schools, entered tbe Georgia colleges. This la 37 per cent of tho boys who graduated In June and 27 per cent of the gins. Of this total of 1,117 students 80 made a record of D in college, which la 7 per L-ont of tbe total admitted on cer tificate. The Teacher Problem. Both In 1916 and 1917 there were more men teachers in tbe accredited high schools than women teachers In 1918 there are 136 more, women teachers and tho difference next year will bs sill! greater In favor of the women teachers. This year tbe Uni veratty cannot supply a single teach er from Its graduating classes aa all of those who were preparing have en tered the new draft age. The normal schools at present organised do noi give the necessary training for the best work in the high schools by twe years. It Is true, however, that G. N 4b I. C. offers to about 5 per cent o’ Its students a college course, but th< emphasis Is put upon the two yea: normal and industrial course. In other states the number of mer In colleges and schools of edneatlor In colleges ot the rank of the Unfver tlty In 1916 was 1,432, and the num her of the women was 5460. in 191" 30 per cent of the men had dropper out and $ per cent of the women. Thi University of Georgia Is doing noth Ing to supply this large number of women who want tho higher trninln/ m that they can tench In the col legee and high school*. From thi demands that are being made by thi trustees and head* of the schools u Menu to me that we most do some hlng to gibe better training for teach tn of high school subjects. I wist to endorse meet heartily Doom Woof- ter’s recommendation tl.at the Pea body School of Education be thrown ipen to women in the Junior and Sen ior, and Graduate classes. W’c aiv ng a cond-'tion mauj necessary tv v.ar, an! : Lope wo .vill meet it s-j that tbe thousands of pupils in the public high schools will not suffer for want of trained teachers. We cannot afford to be the only ataie In the Un ion that fails to give nlgber training to women in its state -Institutions. Funds for Small High Schools. It will be noticed by an examination of tbe accredited school list In cata logue tbat a vast majority of these schools are In the larger towns. Ws are giving 20,030 pupils training In lour year high schools after fourteen years ot campaigning, when there were only 3,500 enrolled in tbe three and four year high schools at tbat time. By local taxation and thorough campaigning tbe secondary school training is now given to six times as many students as formerly. The re suit Is seen In the marked Increase In college attendance and in higher Intelligence through tbe Btate. If we could secure a Constitutional amend ment requiring tbe counties to. levy a local tax It would not be long before equal facilities could be given to ru ral boys and girls for high school ed ucation. Another ten years would show 40,000 high school students en rolled In tbe accredited high schools This result cannot be reached, how ever without local taxation. I trust, therefore, that the University 'board will throw Its Influence back of the Constitutional amendment now In the house, it would be a great advantage also If a hill could.be passed setting aside probably $100,000 from the ren tal of the elate railway! for bonuses for small tygh schools where this state fund la met by local funds, and certain requirements as to grade of school and teaching force and num ber of pupils is met. The great need Is for the' development of rural high schools and the Improvement oi village high schools. Smith-Hughes Schools. - We have given considerable time this year to the general supervision of the Smith-Hughes schools estab lished under the Smith-Hughes Fed eral act. From reports received from Federal Inspectors, Georgia has done her part well In establishing and or ganliing this work. These report* show tbat none of the Southern stites have utilized as much of the funds as tc.s Georgia. ' Medicine. We Issued during tbe year of 1917- 18 101 certificates for admission tbe two medical colleges In Georgia. Medical education In Georgia la noti on a firm basis ivltb all ot the com merclallsm eliminated. There la phase of education on a higher plane and so deserving of the confidence and respect ot the people. As a re sult ot tbe Medical Act, itandardlzlng entrance to medical colleges we have In Georgia this year over fifty men taking their pre-medical educatlou, men who without tbls act would un doubtedly gone into medicine with a partial high school education. Medi cine shows an increase In 1917 over 1916 for tbe whole United States of 3 per cent with a total enrollment ot 6,328 students. Legal Legislation. The results have been so favorable lo the medical education from the state law that the time Is ripe for similar education In behalf of the le gal profession- Now when tbe schools o? law are feeling the effects of the war more than any other schools, a lots of 41 1-2 per cent being shown iu the enrollment ot 1916. 1 have spoken to tome of the authorities of Mercer University and Emory-University and they are both favorable to the pas- sags of a law standardising legal edu cation In this state. Judge John S Candler,, representing tbe Emor) University, states that be would b< glad to O. K. any bill drawn by Judg< Cobb. I, therefore, respectfully re commend that the board take step' to have a bill drawn requiring certal: definite standard* for admission to ■ law school and in conformity wit 1 tbe best practice of tbe other state*.

INTERESTING MEETING OF LEAD- ING FRATERNAL ORDER OF COLORED GEORGIANS. (By • • *) The Grand Lodge of the Negro Ma sons of Georgia was convened :u this city Tuesday morning . Nearly » thousand delegates coming from all parts of the state are in the city. The meeting ia being presided over by Dr. H. R. Butler, of Atlanta. There are many prominent negroes present among whom are Sol. C. Johnson, of Savannah; W. H. Spencer, of Colum bus; Dr. E. J. Turner, of Columbus; C. A. Clarke, of Brunswick; G. R. Hut to. of Balnbrldge; W. C. Thomas, of Atlanta; Rev. Wm. D. Johnson; of Plains; Rev. A. 8. Staley, of AmerF cub; J. H. Walker, of Macon; A. L Felton,'of Montezuma; and many others, too numerous te mention. While the body has gathered here to attend'to Masonic matter*, the enthusiasm to assist the governmen In winning the war overshadows ell things else. One of them aln features of Tues day's session was the address of Dr A. M. Soule, federal food administra tor for Georgia. He was glvoa rapt attention. He told the assembly whv they should assist the country in tho conservation of meat, wheat sugar and icc. Ho referred «o tho wickedness, the degeneracy of the Kaiser and the Gorman met hoi ot warfare Ho dlsp eyed the American fiag and his remarks concerning the flag were greeted with continuous ap plause. He said: “The colored people of Georgia are loyal and true to tbe Food Administration and to the gov ernment. I pay you this tribute and you deqerve It. The only criticism tbat 1 have to make is, 1 am afraid you love the flour barrel too much. Whenever you try to get more than your six pounds you are a slacker and/ a slacker In my estimation Is a most despicable character and Is guilty ot subterfuge and fraud and If 1 had my way -with the slacker* 1 would land them all in France and place them In front pi the Gorman guns. They who injoy “freedom has to -fight for It, li he does not fight tor It then he does not deserve It. The colored men now fighting In France have done some ot the best fighting and shown some of the finest bravery that has been de monstrated during the war.” Dr. M. W. Reddick, of Amerlcus, assistant director of the War Sav ings Stamp campaign also addressed the body. He urged upon tbe men the necessity of every man contributing his quota to the government In the waging and winning of this war. Ho placed especial stress upon the fact that tbls Is tbe negro's country, re gardlesa of what negro hating politi cians might say, and said tbat the negro who would stand around and say "This Is not my country," ought to go and get him a country. Ftom responses given it Is evident that many War Savings Stamps will be sold among, the negroes on the 2Hh of this month'. Dr. L. A. Townsley, of Atlanta, ad dressed the body telling of the work done by the negro women of the state. The Grand Lodge of Masons la made up of the best men of the race in the state, a act of men who are patriotic to tbe core and It la evident that 'they will .go away from Athens with the determination to do their share in the winning ot the war. During the afternoon session Dr. H. R. Butler, Grand Master, submitted Ills annual report. His report showed tbat the fraternity is In a prosperous condition. Dr. C. Maxwell Manning, of Columbus, offered prayer. Tho Grand Master said, "While we are meeting here In a city of peace the world la groaning under tbe burden of sorrow and sadness and though we seem happy, none but God knowi tbe greatneas of our troubles. When our country is tn trouble we are U trouble and each one of ns must dt our part in this great conflict.” H< urged the membership to purchai Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps ant to contribute to the Red Cross fund He reported tbat several brethren ha lost their homes by fire during th year. Sol C. Johnson, ot Savannah, Gran Secretary reported that he had co etted $4,771.79, that 3,002 person lad been Initiated into the mystertf if the order. O. L.

Hi* report shows hat he hoi neeivafi for Marat ou | IMS POT The melting pot! \vwat is it? Wliat Is It for? Where Is It? It Is the pot In which your odds and ends o fold Jewelry, broken spoons, of soft silver trinkets, gold and bits ot copper and brass may be metled and come forth into cheer and comfort for our soldiers as they pass through to, the port of sailing or from one camp to another. This answers your first two ques tions. For answer to' the third notice both paper* each day and you will be Interested to find a way of helping In war work which you had not thought of before. Everybody baa a few bits of jewelry, usaully kept tor reasons of sentiment. Tbls is a time when there can be no Indulgence in sentimentality (which la a thing altogether different from sentiment) and likewise is It a time when no asset must lie useless, so these bits ot the past will become doubly dear to you as, melted with bits from other homes, they come to have a money valui and you think ot them as keeping the defenders of your homes. Depend upon It the men will hear of it and the help will go straight to their hearts—tenderer by far are those hearts than they were In days ot ease and self-indulgence— and when they know that the canteen booth of the Athens Red Cross Is built in part by the melting long laid by treasures (many holding Its heart- story) their hearts will burn within them with an added determination to destroy the powers that seeks to de stroy oar homeland. Still short slghtedly do you say "but this Is an hslrloom?" Surely Is but what la the function of heirlooms? Isn’t It to descend to heirs? Then if the heirs be killed or deported of whic avail that the trinkets have been withheld when they might have been transmuted Into means of pre venting the worst? The Immediate need In the canteen work of th* Red Cross here Is the booth at the Seaboard station which will make It poeslble to "carry on” through the cold' weather the work which has been done with consider able physical strain during the mild month* and which ' will have to be abandoned in very wet or x cold weath er unless the worker* ctn have tbe facilities furnished by the canteen booth. Thi*’ then will- be the first use to which the melting pot fund will be puf, but If It be filled to overflow ing - many time* there will be added resources for furnishing traveling comforts for the men. In one city where the melting pot was filled to running over on the first day of Its boiling, an elderly woman brought a box of trinkets which had belonged to a soldier ot the sixties. A ■mall boy brought a brass beer pump (saying prohibition would make It useless .anyway.) A young girl gave a gold thimble, saying she could uae a celluloid one. There were many contributions from people with ions In the service, one mother giving a lot of beautiful old jewelry and several fine watches. There were many wedding rings the account goes on to say, varying from brass to finest gold. A beautiful samovar of bell metal with the name of tbe Russian makers on the base. In this case the value over and abovo that ot the metal was affixed and it will he sold whenever a purchaser Is found. Of course, coins of all souls are desirable, metal of all kinds and remember nothing Is too large or too small from hot water tanks (surely there are many which were broken lost winter) broken metal beds, stoves which have burnt out their usefulness, to spectacle frames or baby rings. In this all can have part so begin to look them up and have them ready, these things which having served their purpose onet will come forth lo a higher mission. Talk of the plan—the thought Is a flue one and really very beautiful. Catch the vision; it's really worth while that you see it and ice it bow. deposits $23,968 04 and that this amount bad paid bis salary, the sal aries of hit clerks and that he had on band from Interest $11,230.54, thus paying himself find clerks without touching one penny of the money sent In for death claims.
