Send Your Boys and Girls To Hartwell Schools—A Modern School System M PAGES IN THIS ISSUE VOL 50 jCity Schools Open Wednesday, September 2 Hallman again heads strong faculty for 1925-26 session Large Enrollment Expected For Approaching Fall Session Everything In Readiness For Open " ing Two Weeks Hence Faculty Chosen With Much Care The 1925-26 session of the Hart- ! well Schools will open on Wednesday, | September 2, or just about twenty I days from now, and every indication points to another successful year’s work. Much interest is being manifested in the approaching session of the schools by parents, pupils and M friends. The outlook is bright for the Hartwell schools, with a Board of Education in charge thaf is com posed of progressive business men, and citizens who are willing to de vote their thought and energies to this important part of our commu nity life. The buildings and grounds have been put in shape, repairs made in various places, and every detail prac tically worked out for the opening -j day. ’ Splendid Faculty. Headed by Supt. J. I. Allman the Board of Education has selected with great care a faculty that bids fair to accomplish much in carrying out the program of progress that character izes the school life of Hartwell and community. Not only is Hartwell interested in her schools, but since being named as the Senior High School for Hart county, between 50 and 100 boys and girls are attending here, after * having completed the ninth grade of approved Junior High Schools of the county. Through the aid of the Barrett- Rqgers act the county boys and girls may take up the work here at a very nominal cost, and indications are that the attendance from over Hart this year will surpass by far the 1924-25 record. On Accredited List. » No expense has been spared to 'equip the Hartwell schools, and it is due to this fact, together with the selection of a splendid corps of teach ers, that Hartwell High now is rated as A-l on the Southern Accredited List of Colleges. In this week’s issue of The Sun appears much valuable information for pupils and parents, including the course of study, rules and regula tions, etc. The names of those composing the faculty appears on this page. 4 . o Calcutta has only 470 women to each 1,000 men. o Before 1487 the Cape of Good Hope was called the “Cape of All Storms,” there being a storm there almost every day, no sailing ship ever having been able to pass it be fore the time of Diaz.

Allman, and holds an enviable place in the eyes f the people of this section of Geor gia. Supt.

Highway Will Come Via Hartwell HEAR ROLAND TURNER FRIDAY AT 3:00 O’CLOCK • The address of Mr. Roland Turner, Agricultural Agent of the Southern Railway, to the farmers of Hart county Friday at 3 P. M., in the Court House, is being looked forward To. not only by those who have heard nim talk before, but by those who have never heard him. Indications point to a record crowd at the court house, and we hope that it will be necessary to have his ad dress out on the court house lawn, in order to accommodate the crowd. Mr. Turner is a practical farmer, having been born and reared on the farm, and having considerable farm ing interests now. He knows the farmers’ problems, and is able to sympathize with him in the solution of these problems. Along with this, he has the rare ability to talk with farmers about these problems in a way that gives inspiration and en thusiasm to his hearers. Mr. Turner is a splendid speaker, the equal of which you not often hear. He will present facts in his address that ought to be heard by every land owner and renter in Hart county, along with every business man who has dealings with farmers. It has been said that the address which he will give here Friday has been worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to counties into which he has gone. Come out and hear him Friday at 3 P. M. Insist on your neighbor coming. Offer to bring him if he has no way to come. Now is the greatest time to hear an address of this kind, o Faculty Assembles Monday, August 31 The teachers in the Hartwell schools are requested to meet on Monday, August 31, at 10 A. M. Hartwell is fortunate in securing a splendid corps of teachers for 1925-26. At the meeting Monday, the 31st, they will be in conference with Supt. Allman, planning their work for the new year, which opens on Wednes day. i -o Many Interesting Talks Made At Regular Session Kiwanis The unprivileged child, the unpri vileged man and the unprivileged town and community,—-these three subjects were discussed interestingly and candidly at the Kiwanis meeting last Friday, the speakers showing ' that one was naturally the result of I the other. I Introduced by chairman W. S. ; Long of the program committee as ! sneakers of the hour were Kiwanians Z. P. Barron, Thos. B. Thornton, W. B. McMullan, McL. Brown and Steve i Skelton, all of whom brought some i good thoughts on these matters. Better educational advantages i mean better boys and girls, conse quently better men and women, and then better communities. Health and other angles were also discussed during the meeting which was taken up with this subject so important to the Kiwanis Club, which fosters a movement to give every boy and girl of the land better opportunities than their parents had along these lines. President J. A. W. Brown intro duced our fellow townsman, Hon. julian B. McCurry, former member of the Kiwanis Club in Athens, who i has now become a member of the Hartw.ell club. He made an enthusi- I astic talk to the dub and pledged his | continued support of its work. The club had as a visitor of the day, Mr. Thos. L. McMullan, one of Hart county’s oldest and best known citizens, who wis the guest of his son, Hon. W. B. McMullan. Mr. Long urged every member to hear Mr. Roland Turner in his talk here Friday afternoon of this week. Miss Mary Linder favored the club with a number of musical selections, among them one of her own composi tion, “It’s Florida,” which was very pretty. The words to the song, we might mention, were written by her i father, Kiwanian F. P. Linder. op— Doctors get by.

S. HIGHWAYS”—WILL MARK WHOLE SYSTEM Eight Roads Chosen In Georgia— Every Federal Aid Highway In U. S. Included In Syatem of Good Road* Washington, D. C., August 12. Fifty thousand miles of roads, honey combind the United States from the Canadian border to the gulf coast and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, were selected Thursday by the joint board on interstate highways as “United States highways” to he de signated with uniform road markers. All Federal Aid Road* Included. Every federal aid highway in the United States is included in the sys tem, which provides for no through routes, but embraces every state ' capital and most points of national i and sectional interest. When the routing of the highways is completed they will be numbered iso that tourists traveling on any road may know from its number the territory through which he is passing j and where he is going. The routes i also will be posted with uniform i signs informing the traveler of i curves, roilroud crossings and other ; conditions of the road. U. S. Shield 1* Marker. The markers, which will show mo torists their routes, will be the shield of the United States bearing the num ber of the road, the state in which the sign is posted, and the letters “U. S.” No new road construction is in volved in the system other than roads now planned under the federal aid program. The board has no power to maintain the road., or to make any alteration in the present regular high ways, but will devote its funds to the purchase of the signs. The system literally forms a net work oner the entire country, includ ing stretches extending over several states, along with short spurs of only a few miles. Under the plan of the board a motorist at any point in the United States can be constantly in formed of his location by the markers which will be placed at frequent in tervals. Georgia’s Road*. Roads designated in Georgia as a part of the system are as follows: Georgia: Two cross-state highways, one from Tallapoosa to Augusta, via Atlanta and Greensboro; another road from Columbus to Savannah via Dublin and Swainsboro; one road from the northwest to the southwest, beginning at Ringgold and ending at Folkston, taking in Atlanta, Knox ville, Perry Hazelhurst, Alma and Waycross; another road from Atlan ta to the South Carolina border via Decatur, Winder, Danielsville and Hartwell; another road from Augusta -south via Swainsboro, Mount Ver non to Alma; another road from Per ry south to the Florida border via Ashbury, Tifton and Valdosta, and a road from Savannah south via Dai ren to Kingsland. o Jud T.
