Dr. S. B. Cousins, Moderator. G. H. Urquhart, Clerk. Communicathd. 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.

S WI N T THE OLD RELIABLE GROCER * 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.

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.— New Orleans Picayune.
