tors He Urges Their Aid In
Behalf of the Georgia
School Teachers.
' ,
Atlanta, Ga.. July 31. —The
address of Governor John M.
Slaton to the weekly press asso
ciation, declaring that the honor
and honesty of the state were in
volved in. its failure to pay the
•school teachers has proven to be
seed sown on fertile ground.
During the past week from
“Tybee to Rabun Gap’ 1 ’ as the
saying goes. such, a demand has
gone up from the sanctums of
Georgia's country newspaper ed
itors as has never been heard be
fore; demanding that before it
adjourn the legislature make pro
vision to pay the school teachers
without further delay and to pay
them when their pay falls due
in the future.
Seldom is such a unamity of
sentiment aroused on any subject
in Georgia. Leading weeklies
and semi-weeklies have called
upon the represenatives of their
counties in the legislature * to
work for some remedy. ‘‘What
ever else you do, pay the teach
ers,” is the burden of their de
mand.
In his speech, Governor Slaton
said to the weekly editors, “To
you do I appeal, more powerful
by far than the warriors of an
cient days, to lend your aid.’*
A glance over the editorial
of the Georgia papers
during the past week shows how
magnificently they have respond
ed.
Extending- The Parcel Post.
Postmaster-General Burleson, is
to he commended for his efforts to
extend the usefulness of the parcel
post by lowering the rates which
are entirely too high, as the opera
tion of the parcel post has rolled up
enormous profits and profitmaking
;is not the purpose of the act.
He is also anxious to increase the
weight limit so that packages be
yond 11 pounds can be carried
'through the mails. If the Post
master-General can have his way
his service will confer a great bless
ing on the people of this country
and especially the working classes.

MUSINGS OF THE CYNIC
Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly
to have eyes.
Fewer men go stale from overwork
than from overrest.
Look out for the man whose meth
ods should be looked into.
The fellow who is all I's expects the
rest of us to be all ears.
A promise isn’t all it is cracked up

Lots of men don't make nearly so
much noise in the world as the clothes
they wear.
It isn't till he gets pretty near the
top that the world is anxious to give

It's the unexpected that happens,
except when a man makes a fool of

Too many people labor under the
delusion that they can fatten friend

Lots of fellows would rather borrow

LOOK FOR GOOD IN PEOPLE
If there isn’t some good in every
one, what are they here for?
Anybody can point out anybody
else’s bad qualities. If you want to
distinguish yourself go around point
ing out good qualities.
Pick out the man whom everyone
dislikes. Select the one you feel
could best be spared from your office,
from your circle of acquaintances,
from the community in which you
live. Ask yourself if there isn’t
something good about him.
Put him on a mental dissecting ta
ble. Cut him to pieces and see what's
in him. Remember —you are looking
for the good. Throw away the bad
in him and forget it. Make a list of
his good qualities. It will surprise
you how many you can find.
The next time you hear him criti
cized. tell people the things you know
about him —the good things. You’ll
at least be different and you’ll find
that it does you more good than it
does him.—American Magazine.
