THE VIDALIA ADVANCE
N. C. NAPIER, Editor and Publisher.
FRIDAY,'APRIL 1. 1921
OUR SCHOOLS GOING FORWARD
The Advance takes great pleasure in present
ing in this‘issue a photograph of .he New Branch
Consolidated Bchool, the first consolidated seltool
in Toombs county. The photograph l this modern
building ,ncatl\ painted, with attentive grounds,
with four properly lighted class rooms, with large
auditorium, when compared with tne one-room Un
painted school building which it supplanted, tells
a storv of progress not mcessarv to be elaborated
by words,.
Pioneers in every worthy line ot progress de
.serve a mead of praise, and the citizens of
Branch consolidated district have won the .thanks
of the county for their efforts to improve their
school.. We are glad to know that their example
has been followed by th£ Johnson Corner consoli
dated district which is soon to nave a modern
school building of six class rooms. Center Church
district is discussing consolidation and the leaven
is working in other section gs the county. It was
a matter of regret that the citizens of Cedar Cross
ing section, after voting for a consolidation ,of
seven school districts, defeated local tax tor their
schools, which makes it impossible at this time to
proceed further with consolidation. It is but a
question of a short time we believe, until the eili J
zens of this section will again take up their pros
grant for consolidation and carry it forward to a
successful consummation. The seven districts
around Cedar Crossing, when consolidated, would
have a school of eight or ten teachers, and a ftigh
school could be built here which would do as ex
cellent work as either Vidalia or Lyons. In the
heart of the best farming section of the county.
such a school would make Cedar Crossing one .of
the greatest rural communities of the state . -
In a neighboring state some years ago several
country schools were consolidated. One of the
patrons summed up the benefits of the change in
these words:
“The results of consolidation nave readied be
yond our fondest expectations. vVe have four
advantages which we never could iiave in the stnall
•erdistricts —namely, a junior high school, agricul
ture, home economics, and music. Interest has
been awakened in modern homes, better roads, pro
tection of the soil, and home ownership. A num
ber of excellent families have moved in, and the mi
gration of leading families to to»\n has ceased.
Many hoys and girls who had quit school have en
jisted again and will soon finish the course. Social
life, manners and ideals have made rapid improve
ment. In addition to its cgular work, the school
has atheletics, group games, social meetings, com
munity fairs, debating clubs, and contests of dif
ferent kinds with other schools of like grade.
These things have given inspiration and taught co
operation.
More prejudice and jealous in the community
have been effaced than could have been preached
■out in ten years.”
“Our young people are getting a better start
in the race of life than the older people of the com
munity got.”
I he consolidated school helps to give the coun
try boy and girl a better start in life, and that of
itself is worth every cent that it costs; and then a
Consolidated school becomes a real community cen
ter, whose beneficent effects reach old and young
alike. \V e arc glad Toombs county is going for
ward in this great work.

FIGHTING THE BOLL WEEVIL
For some weeks this paper iias been carrying
a striking advertisement inserted by Richmond &
McArthur, asking the farmers which they are go
ing to feed this year, the I'orker or the 801 l Weevil,
and asking which will fatten their bank account.
Now that hog cholera has been conquered.
South Georgia is becoming one of the greatest hog
raising sections of the country. Nowhere else
can hogs be raised and fattened so cheaply, and the
tanner who neglects hog-raising is shutting his
eyes to a signboard directing him along the road
of successful and profitable farming.
Farmers in the middle west make splendid
raising hogs, and farmers of South Georgia can
make much more motiev in this line of farming than
can farmers further north. We want to see more
pigs fattened in this section, and few er boll weevil 8 .

GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS
- Last week the Advance discussed at some
■ lengt h the failure of the .grand jury to recommend
! the adoption of the F,!lis Health law and the em
ployment of a county demonstrator. Some things
the grand jury did met with our hearty approval
■ and we are glad to commend them for their wise
action with regard to the city court and the con
tinuation of the state highway from the Montgom
ery county line.
From the burden it is taking off the superior
court, the Toombs County .city court seems to be
throughly justiwying its creation. Certainly it is
entitled to a fair trial. At the end of a vear, a
balance can be struck and it can easily be seen
whether its continuation is justified.
We are enxious to see Toombs county take up
tlie work of building the state highway from Amer
■ icus to Savannah. Montgomery is constructing
‘ the highway through that county and our county
should con title this work and build the highway to
the Tattnall county line. By each county doing its
part, the highway can be built and v\ ■ wi’d soon
have a concrete illustration of out state’s solendid
highway svstem, and we are glad our grand jury
endorsed this highway.
The grand jury recommended that the SO*'
district of Kmanuel county, which desires to join
Toombs county, be welcomed to our family. Eman
uel county is so large—a population of 25.862, and
an area of 889 square miles—that she will hardly
miss this district.. The district lias a population
of 1.704, has a splendid citizenship and contains
much fine farming land. Toombs county has a
population of only 13.897 and an area of 393 square,
so the 50th district of Emanuel, if it decides to cast
its lot with us. will make us a right sizeable coun

What Good Is a Lid?
Several otherwise excellent burial vaults have tops that are simply laid
i over the casket and left to their own devices. This, of course, is
handier and much cheaper. But what of its safety? The Norwalk
Vault letves nothing to chance; its top is securely cemented on by hand,
and top and bottom become one solid piece of masonry. Naturally, there
fore, the Norwalk is sold everywhere the best is wanted; and naturally the
best undertakers always recommend the Norwalk —it gives them a chance to
guarantee the burial.
