By reading what other men have

than he could without the reading.

what is known as the “Fee System.”
This is an age when respectability
has become a very great force
among our people and to force
county officials to live on “tips” is
anything but complimentary.
It opens the way for graft, and
lacks everything of being on a square
basis. There should be fixed charges
for everything that is done for a
citizen, and a system that is not a
basis is bound to be wrong, because
it opens the way for an official to
set his own price and compel pay
ment, or do great harm to one re
fusing it.
This is not meant for a thrust
at any official here or elsewhere It
is a simple statement of facts.
To force faithful and competent
officials to live on "tips” reduces
their position to that of a porter or
waiter, and to self respecting of
ficials cannot be other than humili
ating.

Men who have devoted years of

two or three years, certainly not

The U. S. Commissioner of Educa
tion publishes the State Normal
school among the best fifteen Nor
mal Schools In 197 such schools in
the United States.
Five hundred an 1 eleven students
have been registered this fall in the
State Normal School, Athens with
one hundred and thirty in the Mus
cogee Elementary School; making a
total enrollment of six hundred and
forty-one.
There is rooms in the doinitories
for only three hundred and sixty
students, therefore more than eighty
students are hoarding in the homes
of the immediate neighborhood.
The enrollment this year repres-,
( ents one hundred and fourteen ccun-
ties of the state.
The counties most largely repres-1
ented are as follows: Baldwin 4; Bul
loch 9: Burke 5; Chatam 6; Screven
5; Tattnall 6: Thomas 4; Quitman 4;
Houston 6; Pulaski 4; Sumter 7; Car-
roll 4; Coweta 9; MeriwetherS; Mus
cogee 6: DeKalb 6; Fulton 13; New
ton 7; Walton 8; Layette 4; Henry 5;
Pike 5; Spaulding 7; Cobb 4; Floyd 4;
Whitfield 4; Elbert 8; Franklin 10;
Greene 10; Jasper 8; Madison 4
Morgan 12; Oconee 9; Oglethorpe 9;
Putman 4; Wilkes 11; Dawson 4;
Gwinett 7; Hall 4; Jackson 14; Mil-
ton 6; Stephens 7; Colnmbia 4; Han
cock 5; Lincoln 10; Richmond 4; Tel
fair 4.
The other 67 counties have each
one or more students in the school.
There are forty-two teachers and
officers and eight school buildings
not counting the infirmary and the
dairy barn.
There are one hundred and thirty-
eight in the school holding diplomas
from other schools.
A unique item is the number of
students who have earned the money
they are spending for an education
here, one hundred and fifty-six in
all.
Another item of significance is,
the number of students in the school
who have had experience in teaching
who have came to the school for
better training and who go right
back into their schools to return to
the state more than value reeieved.
On January 2 of every year more
than a hundred such teachers come
I in the common school reviews. It
will be necessary this year for. such
j applicants to apply well in advance
I of their^coming, on account of the
crowd.
No other school in this or any oth
er slate keeps closer to the common-
school problem than this school.
More than three hundred of the
students are the children of farm
ers.
The authorities of the school have
made it possible for seven worthy
students to get an education by work
ing their way through wholly or in
part. Ten students of the school
are kept here with their expenses
pa.d upon scholarships created by
private beneficence, the Orphan
Asylums of the slate, the Club
Women, or the Daughters of the
Confederacy. During the last ten
years, the friends of the school have
spent nearly $36,000 in helping
along worthy students in this school.
No tuition, of course is charged
Georgia students. The expenses of
board in the dormitory is $100.00
for the full session. And yet for
these small charges the young people
of Georgia have the advantage of
instruction in seventeen different
dspartments. The new library lias
of course, immensely increased the
culture value of the school.
A little census taken the other
morning shows that three hundred
and forty-one students brought their
bibles wtth them into the school.
Three hundred and fifty-two of
the students have volunteered to
take the four-year course in Bible
studies. Seven devoted teachers of
tiie faculty are doing this work from
week to week.
The Y. M. C. A. has this year a
resident secretary, Miss Willie Fagan
and their idea! is the registration of
every student in school in either the
Y. W. C. A; or the Y. M. C. A.
Brief twilight prayer services have
been held in the domitories of the
school without a break for sixteen
years.
Several departments of the school |
have been immensely enlarged this
year. There is an additional teach
er in the Domestic Arts and Science
department; also in Elementary
Agriculture, with two additional
teachers in the department of music.
' The school is offering superior in
struction in instrumental and vocal
music and the expenses Jof “this in
struction is about half the usual
charge.
This department has recently called
for two new Knabe Grond pianos and
eight Haines, Bros, upright pianos.
Instrumental music is included in
the course because of the steady
call on the graduates for musical ac
complishments.
As usual the school has this year
again escaped an epidemic, as it has
done the past sixteen years. Very
unusual attention is paid to hygiene
and sanitation.

New Style Furniture
New and old, jf that be possible, old for the reason that
it is built anlong lines of usefulness, and new because it
meets with modern conditions. Fancy curved bandy legs
on chairs and tables, heavy and incrusted ornamental was
right in days of leisure, and such furniture was designed for
that period, but the new style called Mission, Arts and
Crafts or other similar names is designed to meet modern
conditions.

Curious Prayers.
Of curious prayers u writer says:
“I have heard a layman utter this
E etition during his prayer: ‘O Lord,'^
c thou with us in our upsittings '
and our downrisings’—a variant of
the text in the Psalms, ‘Thou kno'"-
est my downsitting and mine upris-
ing.’ A minister occasionally in-;
trodueed a Latin sentence into hisj
prayer and forthwith proceeded t«j
translate it. Another minister in'
his early days experienced consider-;
able difficulty with the long prayer!
before the sermon. In nonconform-j
ist churches this usually occupies a-
quarter of an hour, but’long before
this period had been reached lie,if
was wound up. On one occasion,
while in this dilemma, he startled
his hearers with the words, ‘And ^
now, O lord, I will relate unto
tfiee a little anecdote!’"—
