AGRICULTURAL
COURSE PUT OFF
INLOCALSCHOOL
Two New Teachers
Elected at Meeting of
Board of Education on
Monday Evening at the
City Hall.
At a meeting of the City Board of
Education, held last Monday evening
at the city hall, it was decided to dis--
continue, for the present at least, the
course in agriculture which has been
a part of the curriculum in the Car
tersville High School.
This step was taken, it is announced,
for tw 0 reasons. One is the fact that
conditions in the schools have become
so crowded it has been found neces
sary to use the room heretofore given
over to this subject for one of the
grades. The other reason is that the
government, which has paid a part of
the salary of the instructor, through
the Smith-Hughes fund, has laid down
certain rules which the local board did
not care to adhere to.
Other matters disposed of at this
ipeeting included the election of two
new teachers to fill vacancies. One of
them is Miss Katherine Stowe i of Mad
ison, who will teach Latin. She comes
with the highest recommendations,
having taught last term in Elberton.
The other one is Miss Lucy Wooten, of
Covington, who will teach History.
Supt. Robinson announces that two
more places are yet to be filled, in
cluding that of principal of the West
Side school. It is his plan to secure a
man for this place, and he is now con
sidering several applications for pre
■ sentation to the board, he announces.
The outlook for a successful term of
the Cartersville public schools is bright,
says Prof. Robinson, who is rapidly get
ting matters in hand, meeting the pat
rons and citizens generally, all of whom
are delighted with the new official, who
comes here with years of successful
work behind him.
It will be of interest to their friends
to know that Prof. Robinson was once
a pupil of Dr. R. B. Harris, who is now
one of Cartersville’s leading citizens.
It was while the genial doctor was a
teacher in Springfield, Tenn., that Mr.
Robinson went to school to him.
MISS KATHERINE C. HOOD
Death of This Good Woman Brings
Sadness to Large Circle of
Friends.

age, died at the home of her nephew,

for herself a place in the hear] s
of her loved ones that time can
never efface. She was one of those
self-sacrificing souls, whose whole life
was given over, cheerfully, and with
out a murmur to the service of others;
in making others happy she found her
chief joy in life.
Until her last illness, she led an ac

Fight The
801 l Weevil
From reports from every section of
Bartow county, the boll weevil has
started in dead earnest, to get the cot
ton crop of 1923 in Bartow county, and
unless a more determined fight is put
up, in the proper manner, with the right
methods to fight the boll weevil, he
certainly will treat the farmers Of Bar
tow county as he has in Greene, Mor
gan, Newton, Rockdale and all counties
where he has started.
I find many farmers have stopped the
plow, because they have plowed since it
rained. Other farmers say they will
not pick up and burn any squares.
Some will not use calcium arsenate,
while on the other hand we find many
farmers using every ounce of energy
they have to keep the plow going, pick
up and burn the squares, and dust the
cotton with calcium arsenate, according
to government Instructions.
Ever since the boll weevil crossed the
Rio Grande, and began to slay the cot
ton fields in Texas, there have been
men inventing boll weevil catchers and
killers concocting some form of poison,
all of these things guaranteed to catch
all the boll weevils or kill them. Each
state in its turn, from Texas to North
Carolina, have been flooded with these
agents, guaranteeing to save the poor
farmer, but all he has been able to do
has been to separate the farmer from
his hard-earned money. The proper
method to fight the boll weevil, as
found after long years of experiment
ing by the government, are simple, and
the application of the poison to kill the
weevil Is the most practical way It can
be used. Why py some company a
large amount for some patent that has
not been sufficiently tried out?
