New High School Building Needed.
The growth of the high schools in
Georgia during the past few years has
been remarkable. Following are some
statistics from the report of I’rof. Jos.
S. Stewart, State high school inspec-
t0 ''The total enrollment in the accred
ited schools in 1D05 was 3,554; gradu
ates, 502. Ten years later the total en
rollment was 16,080; graduates, 2,502.
This makes 500 per cent, gain all told,
in ten years, in both enrollment and
graduates. During these ten years $.3,-
220,000 has been expended on our new
public school buildings.
"Last year we reported 95 four-year
schools; this year we report 105 Buch
schoolB. , ,
"Last year 94 schools reported some
apparatus for teaching the sciences.
This year we have 117 with apparatus.
This is a gain of 23 schools.
"Last year 24 schools reported do
mestic science courses. ThiB year the
number reported is 49, an increase of
over 100 per cent.
“Last year 13 schools reported com
mercial courses. This year we have 39
-200 per cent, increase.
"Last year 7 schools reported manual
training equipment. This year we have
21—200 per cent, increase.’’
The growth of the Newnan high school
during the past few years has been
marvelous. In 1911-12 there were three
teachers in the high school department,
and three rooms in use. For next year
(1914-15) six teachers have been em
ployed, and six rooms will be needed to
accommodate the high school pupils.
During the session of 1911-12 there was
one vacant room at Temple avenue and
one vacant room at Atkinson school.
Next session both of these rooms will
be ia use, in addition to the new room
built last summer.
Departmental work is done in the
high school, and, under this plan, all
classes must be in the same building; —
thus the seventh grade pupils at Tem
ple avenue will have to go to Atkinson
school next session. This is the best
possible arrangement that can be made
for 1914-15. From present indications
two more high school teachers will be
necessary for the session of 1915-16.
Every room in every building is now in
use. If a new high school building isn’t
ready for occupancy by the fall of 1915,
what is to be done? One of two things:
Either two of the high school classes
will have to be discontinued, or the
seventh grade pupils from Temple ave
nue school will continue at Atkinson
Bchool and rooms rented, wherever they
can be found, for the fifth and sixth
grades at Temple avenue, which grades
will have to be moved to make way for
the extra high school classes. In 1915-16
there will be three sections of the
eighth grade, two of the ninth, two of
the tenth, and one of the eleventh,
thus requiring eight teachers and eight
rooms tor the high school department.
From three teachers in 1911-12 to eight
in 1915-1&, and the same rate of in
crease of pupils, is truly a phenomenal
growth.
Athens four years ago built a sepa
rate high school at a cost of $35,000 and
increased its attendance threefold. As
this is now outgrown, another building
worth $60,000 is being built.
Rome bought the Shorter College
property for $100,000, and in four years
jumped from Class III to Class I, with
more than double its enrollment.
Marietta has finished a $30,000 build
ing and Toccoa a $22,000 one. Ameri-
cus’ $35,000 building is already full;
Albany, $30,000; Valdosta, $27,000, and
crowded; Fitzgerald, $40,000 three-
years ago, and now adding to it; Savan
nah, $125,000, and full: Macon, $130,-
000, to open in September; Columbus,
$110,000 for industrial high school;
Ashburn, $20,000, and full; Cordele,
$20,000, and full; Thomasville, $50,000.
We should have at least a $50,000 high
school in Newnan. In arranging for
this building we should look fifteen
years ahead and build for the future.
In addition to an adequate number of
recitation rooms, there should be spe
cially equipped rooms for science;
rooms should be arranged for domestic
science; the best heating, ventilation
and lighting should be provided for; —
in fact, the best of everything. We
should have a building the equal of any
in the State the size of Newnan.
The Newnan children deserve the
best advantages, and they cannot have
these advantages unless steps are ta
ken at once to build an up-to-date high
school and equip it with the best appa
ratus and furnishings.

Another Cured
BY LIV-VER-LAX
TURIN.
It is with a sense of deep regret that
we chronicle the death of Judge Wrn.
A. Leach, of Aberdeen, which occurred
on Friday last. He was Justice of the
Feaco of his district, a deacon of Line
Creek church, and highly esteemed by
all who knew him. He" lost Ins wife
about two years ago, ami, following
this sad affliction, his health began to
fail, terminating finally in his death.
He is survived by Ins aged mother,
three sons and two daughters, besides
a number of grandchildren. Having
been for years his pastor, the writer
tenders his sincere condolence to the
bereaved family.
We understand that Mr. Tobe Chan
dler, of the same community, died on
Tuesday of last week, after a long ill
ness.
Embracing the second Saturday and
Sunday in the present month, the
County Sunday-school Convention will
be held at Turin I’resbyterian church.
All Sunday-schools in the county are
asked to send delegates, and all’ min
isters and other church officials are
urged to be present also. A sermon
and an address on Sunday-school work
will be delivered each day.
The annual meeting of Turin Metho
dist church will embrace the third Sun
day in the present month. The pastor
will be ably assisted by visiting minis
ters.
The annual singing at Standing Rock
church will be held on Friday and
Saturday before the third Sunday in
the present month. A number of "well-
known vocalists will take part in the
exercises.
Query? If the State appropriates $2,-
500,000 for common schools, why local
taxation for the same object? Is it
right?—is it fair? Moreover, it is an
open question as to whether the school
districts have been legally laid off, or
legally officered.
We see that a bill has been intro
duced in the Legislature requiring that
applications for marriage license shall
be advertised four weeks before they
shall be granted. The bill should be
defeated. If enacted into law it would
be a hardship upon the poorer classes,
and serve no practical end.
The excessive heat is damaging corn.
Cotton is doing well, but poor stands
are reported from many sections of the
county. The pea crop is making a fine
start, and, with favorable seasons, will
give a fine yield.

The average man may have music in
his soul, but his voice spoils it.
Here is what happened to a country
editor:
The hridegroom was a man by the
name of Gunn, whose father, Abraham
Gunn, was a leading citizen. The edi
tor wanted to give the young couple a
good send off, hut turned in the copy
and trusted to a drunken printer to see
thut it got in the paper ull right. Next
morning he read the announcement,
"Gunsmith." (The girl's name was
Smith.) The notice went on to say the
blushing bride was becomingly arrayed
in a dress of "white mule” instead of
white mull, and that she carried a large
red "nose” instead of rose. He had
written in regard to the groom that he
was the well-liked son of A. Gunn. The
compositor set it up "the wall-eyed son
of a gun.” The editor tired the com
positor, but he never was able to square
it with the bride or the groom or old
man Gunn.

"How is it,” inquired a young bride
of an older married friend, “that you
alwavs manage to have such delicious
beef?”
“It's very simple, ” said the older wo
man. "I first select a good, honeBt
butcher, and then I stand by him.”
“You mean that you give him all
your trade?”
“No; I mean that 1 stand by him
while he is cutting the meat.”
“A bacteriologist says millions of
germs ride on crowded trolley carB.”
“I’m not surprised to hear that. A
germ is about the only thing that could
ride on a crowded trolley car with any
degree of comfort.”
Every woman likes to go away on a
visit—if it's only across the street to
borrow an apron pattern.
It sometimes happens that after a
man haa made his mark in the world
his wife makes him toe it.

able to catch up with their great fu
tures.
