The Summer School.
Several times the question has been
asked me: "Does a summer school
pay?” 1 answered every time that it
did not, anu with the relation of a little
of my personal experiences you will
likely agree with me.
We opened our school on Monday,
July 5, with an enrollment of 43. The
next day we had 16 more, but the next
day we had just 65. Since then our
number lias grown to 90, but we have
practically a different set of children
every day. One of our pupils, a girl of
14, said she was coming to school for
four weeks, but after that time she
would be obliged to stay at home, as
she felt it her Christian duty to attend
the protracted meetings. Another, a
boy of 13, said when August came he
would have to stop school, as they were
expecting company, and his mother
said he must slay at home and help her
entertain them. Still another, a girl of
13, said she didn’t care whether or not
the teachers suspended school for the
“August meetings,” for her mother
had told he" that she might attend ev
ery service. One little fellow is spend
ing this week on the river, and will be
back Monday for two or three days
next week, to be b hind his class, thus
giving the poor, run-down teacher just,
twice the amount of work to do in or
der that he might “keep up” with his
class.
One man said, when asked what ad
vantage a two-months’ school was, that
in his opinion there was one, namely:
A splendid place for mothers to send
the children, so they (the children)
would be out of mischief and give them
(the mothers) a good chance to visit
and talk about the neighbors.
I have had the opportunity to talk to
one of the members of the County
Board of Education, and he is highly in
favor of a seven-months’ term, taught
in the fall and spring. I have not had
the pleasure of talking with the other
members, but am Bure they will also
favor this plan, and I hope this will be
one of the matters that will receive
their careful attention at the next
meeting.
1 asked one of our trustees what he
thought of the present arrangement.
He answered that he could see hut one
advantage in a two-months’ term, and
that, is it gives the boys and girls who
have to stop school in the spring an op
portunity to “catch up. ” I soon con
vinced him that this was no advantage,
because the boys and girls who stop
out for farm work Hro the very ones
who do not come but a few days in the
summer. We have one girl who gives
us a clear demonstration of this fact.
She came to school the first Monday,
hut on Tuesday she was obliged to go
to town and have her hat trimmed.
Wednesday she had to help her mother
with the laundry work. Thursday she
came hack, hut it took her fully half of
the day to find out where all the les
sons were and get sett led down to
work. On Friday she just had to clean
up the house, as Sunday was thejr
“preaching day” and she expected
company. Now, how much did she get
out of this week?
Coweta county owes it to herself, her
teachers and to her pupils to have a
seven-months’ winter term, and the
writer hopes that the time will soon
come when she will realize that she
will always be behind along educational
lines until she does away with this un
necessary hot summer work for her
teachers, and tiresome study for thoFe
faithful few pupils found in every
school. A Teacher.

tives at Tate, Ga.

OLDER BUT STRONGER
To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or cnrcless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength nnd bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

Frank Will Recover, Doctors Say.
Milledgeville, Ga., July 21.—Leo M.
Frank is resting comfortably to-night,
after one of his best days since he was
at acked. His physicians will not yet
say that he is out of danger, but Btate
that he is gradually growing stronger,
and that they believe the crisis will
soon be passed.
Frank has had less pain to-day than
heretofore. He is cheerful and has a
good appetite. Mrs. Frank prepared
him some ices to-day, which he seemed
to reliBh. He has been eating eggs and
other food for invalids all along, having
had scarcely any nausea r-ince the inju
ry.
Interest is now being centered on
what will be brought out in the inquiry
to be conducted by the Prison Commis
sion and Gov. Harris. It is not thought
that much can he added to what is al
ready known. However, further state
ments may be obtained from Creen
He has gone into his cell, asking the
warden o keep people from question
ing him about the attack, saying that
ht is tired and will not talk to anybody.
At 5 p. m. this bulletin wes given out:
“Frank’s temperature 100 1 5, pulse
90, respiration 18. His condition re
mains unchanged since morning. The
persistent cough the patient haa had
since injury has improved.”
—In view of the discussion as to mod
ern methods of marine warfare raised
by the sinking of the “Lusitania,” it is
interesting to note what was the prac-
ticeof theConfederate Admiral Semmes
during our own Civil War. Semmes is
credited with having captured more
vessels than any other commander. In
22 months on the “Alabama” he board
ed 386 vessels, burnt 62, and took 2,000
men off enemy ships. By the North he
was designated a “robber and plunderer
of unarmed vessels,” and every effort
was put forth to make out a caBe against
him, bat all the evidence showed that
he adhered to the usual rules of war
fare, and not a single death could be
attributed to him. Semmes released all
enemy ships containing neutral cargoes,
and all passenger vessels carrying wo
men and children, and in one case the
women and etiildren found upon an East
Indian trader were taken aboard the
“Alabama” and made comfortable in
the officers’ cabins. A full account of
his methods and practices may be found
in the recently published “Life of Raph
ael Semmes,” by Colyer Meriwether.—
