The Jewish religious year opens season on September 24 at even, day is called Rosh Ha-shana and is ob served not aa a civil but as a religious festival. Modern Jews use the civil cal endar for all ordiuary purposes, but date their feasts and fasts according to'the moon. Orthodox observers still obier, • two days for the New Year t 0 make a distinction between the inhabitauta-.'tof Palestine aud all others, bui Reform J^jjys have returned to the older method single day. The day begins at sunset, a inode of reckouiug that is supported, traditionally, by the Biblical story <of creation, iu which tin* evening is in<m- tjoued before the nwrniug. The year is *41S0, counting from the traditional time of the creation of the world. » The Bible enjoins the celebration of the New Year in the book of Leviticus, chapter U3. and Numbers, chapter 29. The chief rite mentioned is toe blowing of the trumpet or rain's horn, still observed in the synagogue. The ceremonial of. the day is very impressive it includes pPay ers of ancient and medieval origin, elab orate music and the reading of the ac count of Abraham's sacrifice of ItMC. The. greeting of the season is Leshana tovft partraent to another, tikosevu, "May you be inscribed in the book <»f life for a good year.” Tlie lessou of the New Year is that meu review the pust year and look with confidence toward the future. Thus Rosh lla-shana is called the *‘D«y of Kcriiemberaueo" mid also the ‘‘Day of .liidgiucut," The influence of religion on ehanieter, the significance of the flight of time the suggestions of a lurge scoped view of life, uro.the themes of the pruyers and thought, of Rosh Ha-shana. The month of Tishri is the festival season of the Jewish calendar. After the "New Year" eoiucs the ‘‘ten days of penitence," then the fast of the Huy of Atonement, and iinuiiy the Harvest Fes tival. the Feast of Tohfinaeles. This holy season i* universally observed by Jews, stirring iu them impulses for re newed vigor iu their religious and mo- ai life. There is no temple in Tifl^u ami no special service will be held here. How ever. all the local stores owned by Jew ish people will be closed Thursday and Friday in celebration of the New Year.

The greatest asset of Tift is her boy* *v’c und girls; the great task of the teacher \ proper training of these young minds. The teacher needs the help aud ympnthy of the parents in this respon- , 4be task. It has been hard to get teach- rs, this year, but the best huve beeu se- ;■*' 11 red that the present funds will secure, totnc of the communities have been lib ra I in supplementing the county fund, thereby paying their teachers a better salary. The teachers will meet at Tifton Sat urday. September 27, ut 11:00 o’clock railroad time or 10:00 o’clock central time to receive contracts, registers, blanks und to discuss some plans for the year. The trustees n f the different schools can find their teachers here. We would be glad to have as many of the trustees to meet with us us can and will. It is needlc-s to say that the teachers will appreciate it if the trustees, or some one. will see that they get to their com ma nitic» und have u good boarding place. It would be a line thing if all the patrons would meet tin* teachers of their children and become acquainted with them. It ia great to know aud understand people. Misunderstanding!} bring about a great deal of the trouble betwee- -eacuers and patrons. Meet the teachers and discus* the cbihfs interest with them, and thus pave the way for better work. It> will he well if the trustees o r others interested, will have a work day at the school this week uud get everything iu readiness for u good opening. A good start means much. About one-half of the teachers will teach iu the county for the first time. Make them feel at home. The new Compulsory School Attend- ice luw will go into effect January 1, 1020. nt which time there will be an at tendance officer whose duty will be to look after delinquents.
