GEORGIA EXCEEDS OTHER DIX
IE STATES EXCEPT TEXAS
STUDENTS IN COLLEGES
Georgia har more stun cats in its
high schools, normal schools, colle
ges and universities than any other
state in the south except Texas, ac
cording to the results of an educa
tional survey announced Thursday,
in which the educational advantages
of Georgia are outlined.
The statement was prepared by
Supervisor A. E. Pound, of the state
department of education, from a sur
vey made by the United States bu
reau of education, the United States
census and the Georgia educational
repert for the summer of 1925.
Longest School Terms
Georgia has the longest average
length of school term of any of the
southern states except three.
Georgia has nv re boys and girls in
its high schools than any other state
except Texas, and Texas has a pop
ulation of four and one-fourth mil- 1
lion people.
Georgia has a larger percentage of ,
its enrollment in the high schools
than has any state in the south ex
cept Alabama and Louisiana, and in
one of those states, at least, they
count the junior high schools.
Atlanta turned out nine times as
many high school graduates this
year as the whole state had in 1903.
The accredited high schools of this
state in 1903 turned out 94 gradu
ates with 5,000 pupils enrolled. Dur
ing 1924-25, ,we had 42,000 enrolled
in the 275 accredited high schools,
66,000 in all the high schools, and
turned uut 348 graduates from the
.high schools.
Georgia has more boys and girls
in its colleges, university, and nor
mal schools any southern state
except Texas.
The value of the college and uni
verity plants un Georgia is greater
than in any southern state except
Virginia, South Carolina and Texas.
We pay more teachers in Georgia
than apy other southern state ex
cept N'prth Carolina and Texas.

lightning came and turned on about
twenty lights in one row and left
them burning. It would have been
natural if the flash had burned out
the fuse, but for them to be turned
on and left burning was a very unu

All But The Farntsr Haard
From
The recent meeting of the Georgia
Bankers Association in Savannah
came near breaking up in a row'
when a three cornered discussion
arose over agricultural pursuits be
tween a banker, a lawyer and a cot
ton buyer. The banker contended
, that the farmer should plant a larger
! acreage and cell a3 rapidly as gath
j err and. The lawyer contended that
such a practice would prove ruinous
to the farmers, and the cotton buyer
insisted that after growing a large
cotton crop, the farmer should hold
his cotton and sell on the rise of the
market.
As there was no farmer present to
( represent the real side of the issue,
the discussion grew heated, and but
1 for the timely arrival of disinterest
ed members of the association, there
is no telling to what extent this dis
cussion might have carrried these
special authorities on cotton grow
ing.
Newspaper editors and other advi
sers of the farmer as to the best
methods and system to be employed
in succesful farming* are usually
“hooted” at by the farmer and those
who do not agree with this special
class of advisers. But after all,
there is mucji argument to fce found
in the average newspaper on cotton
growing and farming pursuits, which,
if followed, yields would be greatly
increased and a more substantial
condition created throughout the
country.
The average farmer knows his bus
iness, no doubt, and he does not rel
ish the idea of thi presumption of
newspaper editors to exploit their
views and volunteer advice as to how
farms should be cultivated, but often
there is found much sound advice in
newspapers, which, if followed, would
greatly improve agricultural condi-"
tions in this section of the country.
Whether these newspaper editors
be farmers or not, they know what it
requires to make a successful far
mer, and in a majority of cases, the
newspapers do a great deal of farm
ing on paper, and “make believe”
that their way is the successful way,
and oftentimes it is~?aand to be true.
There are some good farmer news
paper editors, ;o say the least.—Ath

GEORGIA LAW IS FOUND
THAT WOULD KEEP MANY
FROM SWIM ON SUNDAY
Patrons of bathing po!s in At
lanta and throughout the state face
the possibility of being deprived of
their natatorial recreation' on Sun
day unless the state legislature now
in session repeals a section of the
penal code of Georgia just brought
to light by a state capitol official
who accidentally ran across the
statute while reading the code.
Coder the provisions of Section
421, as enacted in ISC6 and amended
in 1(195, “any person who shall bathe
in a stream or pi nd on the Sabbath
I day, in view of a road or passway
[ leading to or from a house of re
| ligious worship, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor.”
I Practically every “road or pass
way" nowadays leads to or from a
house of religious worship, and
strict enforcement of the law would
necessitate the closing of most bath
ing pools throughout the state on
Sunday.
It is understood that ah effort will
be made at this} session to repeal the
old code section, as it is considered
obsolete and a needless restriction
upon personal rights and privileges.

BABE RUTH VS. TY COBB
Will Babe Ruth be placed by fu
ture baseball generations on the
same plane with Ty Cobb or has the
Yankee invalid ridden the crest of
‘the 'homerun craze to an inbated
popularity?
Ruth after ten seasons of cam
paigning appears to be on the verge
of enforced retirement, due to his
inability to keep down to playing
weight and still retain his strength.
He is afflicted with a bad stomach,
his ankles refuge to carry his 215
pounds with the youthful vigor of a
few years back. Ty Cobb in his
twenty-first year of major league
play is still physically fit and among
the game’s top-notchers.
Yet Cobb has never been the pop
ular figure that Ruth has been, even
though for sheer technique and
shrewdness the one time Sudbury
farmer never reached the playing
peak attained by the Georgian. A
fairly good fielder and an indifferent
base runner. Ruth’s one forte has
lain in his ability to “bust the ball,”
as the saying goes. Cobb, batting
for .413 today and leading the Amer
ican League has "attained a grand
average of .372 for the twenty years
previous to this; while Ruth in the
ten last years has hit for .151. Ruth
has led the league in hitting only
once, while Cobb has accomplished
that feat twelve times. Cobb at
present is 39, while Ruth is 31.
Perhaps it would be fairer to com
pare the work of the two during the
last five years, during which period
Cobh has batted for a grand average
of .400, as against .375 for Ruth.
Cobb's average nuitiber of hits per
game is 1.56, as against 1.26, and his
average number of runs scored is
.91, as agairrst 1.01. In the field
and on the bases Cobb far outstrips
his bulker rival, for the Georgian has
stolen an average of 77.6 as against
12.8 for Ruth.
LATE CORN AND TOMATOES
'AND EARLY TURNIPS
i
For tbe avenuro farm, throe out-!
standing vegetables to be planted in j
July are corn, tomatoes, ami tur
nips, says Professor Keener of Ihe
horticultural department of the C.
gia Slate College of Agriculture.
Corn planted throughout the rr "th
will afford late re gating ears tv a
[time when they are usually, scarce.
I If a frost ‘comes earlier than n aal
1 the stalks can be cut and th"..ed,
and the ears used for 10 days ot two
I weeks. Similarly, tonur :>cs pi sated
I in late July will give a good Jau- crop
which ran be gathered in c of.
frost and allowed to ripen indoors.
July turnips, both for greens and
! turnips, are sometimes attacked ay
insects, but it is believed worth while
to risk such damage to insure green
, vegetables in the fall. Boa.is are al
so needed for fall use by most fami
; lies. July plantings, especiaty in
those places that have been d-y so
long, will insure a late supply'. It
i is believed either the running garden
. or cornfield varieties will be most sat
! isfactory for July plantings, with
bunch varieties preferred for later
plantings.—Progressive (Farmer.
ASLEEP IN THE GARDEN
<Anna M. Kilpatrick)
He prayed in Gethsemane’s garden,
They slept, unaware of His sorrow—
Not thinking how soon He’d be leav
ing,
Not knowing of the trial tomorrow.
He came to His sleeping disciples
Three times—but they knew not the
• power,
They lost, asleep in the garden
In Jesus’ dark, sad hour.
I slept in the garden of service—
My Master called me to work;
But I—in my selfish slumber
Thought naught that His work I’d
shirk.
He came again to my bod of ease,
I cared not that He was in pain;
I slept once more—He called my
name.
He needed me again.
The third time He came in His pa
tience,
I ros^ —my sleepy heart dismayed
"Too late,” He cried, “My disciple,
The hour is come—l’m betrayed ”
Oh, Lord! forgive my denial
My selfish, unthinking deed;
That I should sleep in the garden,
In this, Thine hour of need.
Give me of Thy grace abundant
Make me Thy disciple inded;
Make me ever willing and watchful,
To help others in their need.
