Cotton Expert From the . State Agricultural Col lege to Speak. POINTED PARAGRAPHS ON RURAL SCHOOLS Answer this question in one word: What is needed to make the rural schools as good as the city schools? M-o-n-ety. To make the rural schools as good as the city schools we are told 1 that the country schools should be kept open at least nine months in the year, should be taught by better teachers re ceiving better pay, in better school- houses with better equipment. Money will buy these and all the other things that now go to make our city schools better than most rural schools. How can money be raised to make our rural schools as good as those enjoyed by the rich and poor children of the cities? This is the leading question which should be in the mind of every citizen during Education Week, The average length of school term in the cities is over nine months in the year, while the country schools do not average seven months. Does this spell equality or opportunity for the country boy and girl? A citizens and farmers mass meeting has been called to meet at the court Huckaby, j j n Fayetteville Thursday, Decem ber 14th, at ten o’clock in the morning, for the purpose of hearing an expert cotton man. A State cotton specialist from the Georgia State Agricultural College will be here and address this meeting. The address will deal principally with cotton facts and how to briqg the product back to normalcy under' pres ent conditions. C. V. Shirley, County Agent, will also address this meeting, and a permanent organization is advocated for the pro jection of the best interests in agri culture development. Ways and means to secure sufficient calcium arsenate for Fayette county farmers will also be arranged for at this time. This is the first move toward a per fect county program. Shirley put Jef ferson county on the map, and with an organization to move solidly for county-wide benefit, Fayette, with its magnificent soil and splendid co-opera tion of all agricultural interests, under Shirley’s leadership can soon be one of the best, if not the very best county in the State. Cotton is our money crop, cotton can be raised profitably under present con ditions, enlist in this meeting, put yourself into it 100 per cent and Fay ette county will go over the top in 1923 — better times, better roads, bet ter schools, better churches and better people. i If the city elementary schools are taught over nine months in the year by teachers receiving $1,200 and the country schools are taught less than seven months in the year by teachers receiving less than $7001; Are the country children receiving a square deal? If your are interested in the better ment of country schools write to the United States Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C., and receive with out cost, copies of bulletins, leaflets and circulars'pertaining to rural edu cation. The United States Bureau of Educa tion now has for free distribution cir culars and leaflets on such subjects as Consolidation fo Schools, Transporta tion of Pupils, Supervision of Rural Schools, Equipment for One-Teacher Schools, System of Agricultural In struction, Salaries of Teachers in Rural Schools, Distribution of State Funds Affecting Consolidation, Home Economics in Rural Schools, Rural Life and Culture Bibliography, and Teachers’ Homes. The rural and village schools spend annually $392,000,0000 for educating 12,500,000 children. The cities spend $488,000,000 for 9,000,000 children, or almost a million more for three mil lions fewer children—and some people wonder why the city schools are so much superior to the country schools.

FAYETTEVILLE DEFEATS McDonough WHY DO THEY LEAVE Only 13 of every 10 children enter ing the first grade of the public schools remain to complete the twelfth grade, or the last year of high school. Of 100 children entering the first grade 86 reach the fifth, 73 the sixth, 64 the seventh, 58 the eighth, 32 the first year of high school, 23 the sec ond year, 17 the third year, and 14 the fourth year, with 13 (remaining to graduate. Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or sps- tem respecting it, I can only say that I view it" as the most important sub ject which we as a people can . be engaged in.—Abraham Lincoln. Where the state has bestowed edif- cation the man who accept it must be content to accept it merely as a char ity, unless he returns it to the state in full in the shape of good citizenship.— Theodore Roosevelt. Education that fails to fit men and women to play in intelligent, com manding part as sovereign citizens in a great industrial and political world fails of what must in this. day be its prime purpose. It is not enough to have understanding and good educa tion among a few; what we require is good understanding and good educa tion en masse. We must in the mass understand the problems with which we must deal as a democratic people. We can advance and develop democ racy but little faster that we can ad vance and develope the average level of intelligence and knowledge within the democracy. That is the problem that confronts modern educators. That is the problem that confronts democ racy itself.—Samuel Gompers. The American public school has grown piecemeal as the country has been built up, but has not kept pace with the vast sweep of progress that has been made in science, industry, and agriculture. It is no criticism of the great constructive accomplish ments of education to recognize frank ly its shortcomings and deficiencies. Our educational system can not be considered adequate .until it has oblit erated illiteracy and welded our people into one great composite American citizenry with common ideals and pur poses; until it has laid the founda tion for right living, for health and physcal vigor; and until it has provid ed for every American child a com petent and well-trained teacher.—Wil liam B. Owen, President of the Chicago Normal College and of the National Educational Association. New York is now planning to get the sentiment of the people on the wet and dry subject. Thomas Miles Murphy, better known to The News readers as “Primus,” after a lingering illness covering near ly a year’s time, quietly passes away Tuesday morning; at about four-thirty o’clock, entering into his eternal rest. “Primus” was born in Lee county, Iowa, his father — Joseph Murphy — coming from South Carolina. Sarah Murphy, mother of “Primus," died in Iowa, and after her death the family (came to Fayette county, where they settled in 1848. “Primus” served in the War Between the States in Company “A”, 10th Flor ida, attached to “Finnigans Brigade,” j and his life has been spent in the pur-1 suit of agriculture, principally; in the latter period he has been connected with the Fayette Hohie Insurance Co., in the capacity of treasurer. “Primus” has always been an inter esting writer for The News, and, to gether with his companion writer, “Po sey,” of Brooks, both have answered the last roll call and gone forward: to a great reward. As a citizen, his life has been spent in that which makes for the good in (everything, always endeavoring to be on the right side of every issue, in sofar as was his ability; helpful to his fellow-man; a Mason, and member of the Methodist church for some fifty- five years. The funeral will take place at the Methodist church at eleven o’clock on Wednesday morning, after 4 which the burial will be conducted by the Masons ! in the family lot in the Fayetteville; cemetery. “Primus” leaves a wife, Mrs. Eliza-; beth Murphy, daughter of John and Margaret Bottoms, of Fayette county,; and three sons, William T. Murphy, of Griffin, Ga., George M. Murphy, of Atlanta, and Edward E. Murphy, also i of Atlanta; one brother, Joseph H.; Murphy, of Atlanta, and one sister, Sa rah Rebecca Murphy, of Carrollton, Ga.; two grandchildren, Lewis Murphy, son of William T. Murphy, and Eugene Murphy, son of Edward F. Murphy. Fayetteville ,Hlgh school won their fifth game at McDonough Wednesday afternoon. This makes five straight victories to our credit since basket ball started. The McDonough team fought hard, but succeeded In making only three points. A large number of personal fouls were made on each side, but more on McDonough. Three of McDonough’s players were put out of the game on account of second fouls; but two had to remain because they could not provide substitutes. Beadles was the high scorer for Fay etteville. He made seven field goals. The final score was 34 to 3. Our next game in the league wili-be with Jonesboro. We beat Jonesboro by a large score in October, but in the meantime they have been prac ticing and they will be one of our strongest opponents.

FARM TOPICS by C. V. Shirley, ounty Agent It has been asked by a certain cit izen of Fayette county what is it that a County Agent can do through the month of December that would be of service to the farmers. If he didn’t do a thing but formulate plans for another year he would be doing a great work, provided these plans were of the right kind. Not only should the Coun ty Agent make plans but every farmer should work out his cropping system. But we except to accomplish much more than this as you will find by reading on. The boll weevils have played havoc with our principal money crop—cot ton. We have learned that calcium arsenate is very essential in combating this pest, therefore, we want to have a meeting in the next few days and take some active step in buying next year’s supply. Now, this is where you should do some planning. Figure out how much cotton you can afford to plant so you will know the amount of calcium arsenate you will need. On an average it requires about 30 to 35 lbs calcium arseuate per acje for the season. Orchards. If you haven’t already pruned and sprayed your fruit trees ,you should look after this at once. In order to have good healthy trees bearing good sound fruit, trees should be sprayed aud pruned. They should be sprayed with lime-sulphur iu the fall and early spring to keep down the scale. Dem onstrations in pruning and spraying will be given in the different parts of the county. If you need any help let me know at once. The Farm Program. Last week’s paper outlined a farm program for Fayette county. What about meeting and adopting a program so we will have something “to shoot at?” Let’s all pull together and make 1923 a banner year for Fay ette county. Every minute of day and night, 32,- : 331 letters are dropped into mailboxes. The total is 1,400,000 an hour. Small' wonder, that a letter occasionally goes astray. Our destructive sense rages at these isolated delays. It rarely occurs j to ns to give credit for the vast ma jority that are delivered on time, for j the constructive instinct has not yeti conquered the destructive tendency in man’s brain. Observing a few isolated: cases, we accept them as applying gen- j erally—crime in particular. j Smith & Higgins, Inc. 1 2 Price Sale Coats-—Suits—-Dresses In a word—the warm weather at the beginning 1 of the season explains these radical price re ductions.
