COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD WILL
FURNISH INFORMATION THROUGH
PUBLICATION BULLETIN MONTHLY
Plans Perfected Fo r
Conducting Summer
School, With Misses
Tyler and Webb in
Charge Enrollment
Already Large, and
More Teachers Expec
ted to Attend—All of
Thfem Urged to Make
Plans at Once.
The Board of Education of Bartow
County met Tuesday for a short busi
ness sesion in the office of the County
School Superintendent.
The most important item of new
business, was the adoption of a res
olution providing for the publication
of a monthly school bulletin, which
will carry a number of items of in for
maturfg relative to the various schools
throughout the County. ,
The purpose of the bulletin is to give
information in a comparative way of
school conditions, and equipment, and
financial status of every district.
It is hoped and believed, by the
Hoard, that such information will
stimulate a better school spirit, and
result in improved conditions, relative
grounds, equipment, and
efficient teachers.
The announcement was made to the
Board, that plans had been perfected
providing for a summer Normal for
Bartow County Teachers, to begin
Monday, June the 11th.
Miss Alice Tyler, of Cartersville, and
Miss Sara Webb, a memebr of the
faculty of the State Norma) School of
Athens, have been engaged to assist in
the work.
Miss Tyler has had former experi
ence in this department of Work, and
,bas proven her ability and skill in
presenting subjects in the Cartersville
High School for the past two years.
Mi*a Webb is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Georgia, and also of the
University of Chicago and is known
and recognized as one of the best Pri
mary Teachers in the State,
The enrollment to date is mtich
larger than was anticipated, and shows
that the teachers of the county appre
ciate the value of this effort on the part
of the Board of Education to assist
them in obtaining the very best Infor
mation necessary to better prepare
themselves for the noble profession of
teaching.
It behooves every teacher to take
this or some other course for teachers,
ks the general public and school offi
cials desire and will require better
preparation on the part of teachers,
because of an increase in the school
term, and in most instances, an in
crease in salary.
The school officials of the state, in
session recently in Atlanta, were unan
imous in their agreement that the
greatest need throughout the state and
nation is better qualified teachers.
Great progress has been made along
this line, according to reports, but the
need is still impertaive.
Chamber of Commerce Thanked.
The Board of Education of Bartow
county desires to express their keen
appreciation to the Cartersville Chum
>ber of Commerce for the hearty co-op
cratiOn of that body in furthering the
interest of the rural schools of the
county, and desire also to express their
eagerness to co-operate with the

‘ Each State Bankers’ Association in

there are 142 members of the council.

there. The meeting lasts for a week,
and is a busy place, with committee
meetings, reports and symposiums. Of
course it is not all work, as elaborate
entertainments are prepared for the
evenings, and certain days are set aside
for golf, which is ‘a popular game with
the bankers, as well as all business

With Mrs. F. J. Vaughan presiding.
and some of Georgia’s distinguished
women on the program, next Tuesday

Life Insurance
Subjects Were
Well Handled
Insurance in all its interesting phas.
es was interestingly discussed by a
number of speakers at the Tuesday
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.
After Dr. L. E. Dut'ton had asked
the blessing, the guests present en
joyed another one of those line menus
prepared by Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Omer,
and then Mr. Elbert G. Shaw, as toast
master, presided over the meeting in
a very happy manner. He said that
Joseph of old was the first insurance
agent, in that he provided against the
want of his people through a seven
year period of saving. Since then, he
said, insurance has been improved so
that to-day It is one of the greatest
of a!' businesses.
Mr. Horace W. Howard, speaking on
the subject of life insurance, said it is
to-day the biggest business in the
country, with three of the larger com
panies having assets running into the
billions.
“Life insurance," he said, "keeps the
hom<' together, after the bread-winner
has passed on. Life insurance cornea
at a time when ready cash is the most
needed thing in the universe, and I feel
certain that no man would fall to carry
all the insurance possible, if he but
realized its necessity."
Mr. James R. Whitaker, speaking on
the subject of the necessity of farm
insurance, brought out some facts and
figures as only he is capable of doing.
"The heads of families must be pro
tected," he said, “and there is no bet
ter way than to take out life insur
ance. Then, our residences, barns and
machinery should be fully covered by
insurance, for fire is no respecter of
persons, and one never knows when his
property will go up in smoke."’
Bradley Howard was next, outlining
in an interesting manner various forms
of life insurance, particularly partner
ship, group and corporation insurance.
“Insurance,” he said, '‘is defined a®
'To make sure and secure.’ In the
business world to-day it is regarded
as imperatively necessary, and its im
portance is growing in esteem as the
general public realizes what it can do
tor every o*ie.’’
Mr. J. ,W. Vaughan, speaking of in
surance from the bankers’ standpoint,
said that banks were .rapidly coming
to the point where they" would not loan
money without the borrower being
fully insured. “Why, you take a man
without insurance and then take that
man, five minutes later with a five
thousand dollar policy. His estate is
worth five thousand dollars more than
it was before he took the policy. A
n.a may be forty years saving five
thousand dollars, but he can make his
tstate worth ten thousand dollars more
in ten minutes, by taking out a ten
thousand-dollar insurance policy. A
tot of men there are, too, who can take
Insurance pay for it, and leave their
families in better shape, if they would
only take the time to consider how
easily tbe> r can pay for life insurance,”
’said Mr. Vaughan.
With the announcement from the
chair that Mrs. Frances J, Vaughan
would be in charge of the next meet
ing. and that it would be held in the
evening of next Tuesday, Tuesday's
luncheon ended.

Members State Utilities
Commission, in Com
pany With Railroad
Officials, Greeted by
Citizens.
Making a tour of inspection of ihe
states railroad property from Atlanta
to Chattanooga, members of the State
Utilities Commission, headed by Chair
man Paul Trammell, spent a short time
in Cartersville Wednesday morning
just before noon.
Ir. addition to Chairman Trammell,
others in the party were Commission
ers TANARUS, Boifeuillet, James A.
Perry and Walter McDonald, Mrs. Mc-
Donald, Albert Collier, secretary of the
commission, J. Houston Johnson con
sulting engineer; J. A. Baldwin, gen
eral superintendent of the N., C. & St.
L. railroad, and Hunter McDonald, Mr.
Baldwin's secretary.
Mayor T. Warren Tinsley President
J* U • Vaughan and Secretary George
Woodrow, of the Chamber of Com
merce, and other representative cit->
izens were at the station when the
special train on which the party trav
e'ed stopped in Cartersville,
The officials made a brief tour of
inspection about the depot property,
and had their attention called to the
deplorable condition of the underpass,
south of town. They assured the local
committee they would take due note of
the suggestions made, and felt certain
that conditions would be remedied
within a short time.
Chairman Trammel is a North Geor
gian, and a native of Dalton. He Is
well known to many Cartersville peo
ple and received a specially cordial
welcome. In his present position he
is following In the footsteps of his
father, who was also chairman of what
was then the State Railroad Commis
sion, but now known as the State
Utilities Commission.
Mr. Perry likewise is well known in
Cartersville. In addition to being one
of the best known officials in the state

is held In the highest esteem, and is
very popular throughout the state.
Col Boifeuillet was the center of a
group of friends who gave him a very
cordial welcome. He has for many
years been an outstanding figure in
Georgia affairs, and deserves to con
tiue as such, for he is a gentleman and
scholar of the first rank, and a man

possibly any other public official in the
state at this time.
Mr. McDonald, who is a native of
Augusta, is the blind 4nember of the
commission, having lost his sight when
a youth. His wife a very charming,
gracious young woman, goes with him
on his official work, and is his "eyes,”
as he facetiously remarked to those
who met the party. One would not
believe him totally blind, to hear his
casual remarks about state affairs,
showing a grasp of the duties Incum
bent upon him that would do credit to
any man with two good orbs.
The other member of the commission,
Hon. J. D. Price, was ill. and corld not
make the trip.
