MISINFORMATION BY THE BUSHEL. (From the Macon Telegraph ) The attention of The Telegraph i has been called to the appearance in Macon of the supplemental vol- i nines to an encyclopedia called the “Americana." There is given what purports to be a resume of the legislation and educational in stitutions of the State of Georgia. Under the article "Georgia,” j head of religion and education, page 560, it is stated that, "a law making education compulsory was passed in 1908. .' . . There is a county school supervisor in each county. . . . For the higher education, the more important in stitutionsfor men land both sexes) in the state are as follows: Uni versity of Georgia, 502 students; Atlanta Baptist College (negro) 238 students; Bowdoin College, 280 students.” Under the head of legislation its statements are as inaccurate, only three laws being enacted in the entire session of 1910. The effort to have a State com- Dulsory attendance law passed in 1910 failed. In addition to the State' Univer sity, there are a number of other institutions supported by the State —the School of Technology, Georgia Normal and Industrial College, State Normal School, North Georgia Agricultural Col lege, and eleven agricultural col-' leges, one in each congressional district. Among the higher educational institutions not supported by the State are Wesleyan College, Mer cer University, Emory College, Shorter Female College, Agnes Scott Institute, Lucy Cobb Insti tute, Southern (Cox) Female Col lege, Andrew Female College, Southern Female College, La- Grange Female College, Young Harris College, St. Stanislaus Col lege, Brenau Female College, South Georgia College, Bessie Tift College, Riverside Military Academy, Georgia Military Acad emy, and the number of high schools is too long to be recited here. If the “information” given in this alleged supplement to the en cyclopedia “Americana” is on a par with the information about Georgia, it is only fit for the scrap heap. The best assortment of Buggies, Surries, Wagon, and Harness in Middle Georgia, are anxious for you to see and price. I). T. Carmichael. Flippen. Mr. and Mrs. G. H.
