The Herald and Advertiser NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JULY 3. Communicated. 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.

There is something wrong with the lofty ideals that run to highballs. 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. Mrs. E. F.

M. 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. Has Your Child Worms?

"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.
