There is cause for alarm in
tiie sad fact that GEORGIA rates
SECOND high in the Nation in
school dropouts. The Honorable
Ben Huiet, Commissioner of
Labor brings this forcibly to
our minds in an article found
elsewhere in the NEWS today.
Do not fail to read it!
Every boy and girl should
not only have a high school but
a college education today. High
salaries are being paid, but not
to the uneducated, who, if they .
finished school could go right
to the top of the ladder. There j
is not much chance, or future .
for a boy or girl who does not :
finish high school, either in a
financial way, or socially.
The Georgia Federation of
Women's Clubs have always
taken a strong stand on this
and many other issues for the
betterment of our State. Now
with Lois Hay as President.!
they are holding their Club In- j
stitute at Emory - at - Oxford, j
The sessions begin at 2 P. M. |
Tuesday, August 14th. During I
this session they will pay tri- :

The State Highway Depart

eight million dollars in High

according to Highway Board
Chairman Jim L. Gillis.
These contracts will provide

However, as bidding on con

10 per cent below the esti
mates used in scheduling the
improvements under the orig
inal program, Highway Depart
ment officials say that it will
be possible to let a considera
ble number of “supplemental”

The August 9 Highway Au
