WELCOME TO THE SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS.
The arrival of the hundreds of students at the Summer
School for Teachers at the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College brings to all Mllledgeville a happy feeling by hav
ing these new-comers in onr midst. The News feels called
upon, therefore, to issue a word of welcome to those who
have become, in a great measure, the charming guests of
this city.
The success of the Summer School here has become so
overwhelming as to almost create surprise, agreeable, to
be sure, and the people of Mllledgeville are deeply indebt
ed to those responsible for this wonderful achievement.
indeed, it can well be said that the results obtained in
the undertaking to establish a sunanr school at th Geeor-
Normal and Industrial College is due entirely to unselfish
motives and those at the back of the movement have not
ing in view except to do everything possible to bring about
greater educational advantages in Georgia. With such
aims, desires and ambitions on the part of those seeking
to make a success of the institution which has been estab
lished here during the last two years, it would be out of
the question to give a single thought to failure.
Due to the spirit existing at the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial College, the institution of learning has established
a reputation over this state that demands the admiration
and respect of the people. The high ideals of the presU
dent of the college and the entire college faculty are such
as will stand the test of time and so long as such a corps
of workers put their energies and efforts behind the school
Its continued growth can be expected.
We know that there is a reason for the success of the
Summer School at the Georgia Normal and Industrial Col
lege and likewise the hundreds cf teachers who are with
us this week can clearly define the meaning.
As in the case of every worthy undertaking, sacrifices
must be made in order tc accomplish results and no doubt
those making up the Summer School here could well be
classified as men and women of the type inclined to reach
out and help those who have herd fore been unable to help
themselves. Therefore, Mllledgeville should, and does, feel
highly honored in being selected as a centralization field to-
work out the plans of advancing education in Georgia and
we feel sure that in years to come notable success will ceme
to those so eager to do their full part in the undertakings
yet to be brought about.
.So, we are highly pleased in having the opportunity of
WITH THE EDITORS.
SAVE PAPER FOR FUEL.
\\ e might as well come down to it right now and begin
preparations.
It is evident that nkss some surprises occur, the sup
ply 0 f oo.il next winter will not meet the demand. There
is a most unusual demand, a demand far ahead of the coal
supply yet in sight and far ahead of the transportation fa
cilities yet in sight.
Present prospects are for so limited a quantity that there
seems little chance that mere .than a third of the require
ments of each person can be met. Hickory and oak must
be the substitutes for coal and for household use. Stoves
should be utilized instead of grates and furnaces. Now,
while we have time, we should be getting in our supplies
and getting wood cut, for labor is increasing in scarcity.
Wood that is cut now will be dry and ready for cheerful
burning in the winter, but there is another means of get
ting fuel, recommended by the Government, which should
uot be despised. Uncle Sam tells us that there is an en- j
urinous waste in paper which could be very profitably used j
.or fuel. By r.lling our waste paper into tight balls and
compressing them while dipped in water, we shall, after
drying them, have something to burn in our stoves which
A r ill give out good heat and burn for a surprising length of
time. There is a great saving in this and also a great con
venience. The paper which accimulates in a household is
generally a nuisance for trash and a useless and trouble
some thing tc care for. It takes only a little trouble every
day to roll It into balls, squeeze the balls in water and leave
them to dry; but a steady devotion to the task promises a
comforting reward next winter when we are all likely to be
put to it to find a way to keep warm.—Savannah Press.
DON’T WORRY THE BOYS.
If you have any regard for the boys in France, d n’t
-.rue gioonty leaers. Keep the clouds out of your corre-
pondence. and let it breathe naught but sunshine and
cheer. If doubt assails you, keep them to yourself, and
rive the soldier boy letters breathing optimism and ccntt-
lenca. If family cares and worries beset you, remember
hat his care is Infinitely greater than your own. Your
burden is a personal one, while on his brave shoulders rest
the cares of a nation.
Bright, confident leters from home, breathing of love and
confidence in your cause and in the heroes who are uphold
ing it, will do more to win this war than any other agency.
And gloomy forebodings and wailings will as surely retard
if not defeat us. Y^ur boy should hear none but good news
from home unless It be absolutely necessary. Not that his
love and devotion is any less than of old, rather greater.
This he is proving by his presence on the battle front. But
his one supreme thought now is to strike with the utmost
cf his power for the safety and sanctity of his home, and
his heart should know no other care.
Keep the glooms at home, If they must exist, and send
the sunshine to the boys.—Crawfordvllle Advocate Demo

THE MELTING POT,
The melting Pot—whether inter- pr intra-racial, does not
melt. The cooks whe preside over the desperate mixture
are really making pickles in which the several ingredients
—gherkins, mustard, tomato, cauliflower and kale—remain
distinctly recognizable and, njore often than not, dUWjictly
antagonistic.
We cannot deny thut race mixture may also yield har
monious combinations. Where everything is possible, this
chance is likewise to be reckoned with. Yet, let us be
quite clear that it is a mere chance, so small that every fa
vorable constellation of traits synthesized by luck should
be carefully preserved. But this is also true of favorable
constellations which we have inherited. These, too, should
bo treasured lor they arc nothing less than racial gold.
How true this is can be shown as clearly as anywhere
by tho descendants cf the French Huguenots. Let us pon

THE OUTLAY AND THE NEED.
Though the individual may sigh over the money he must
spend in secure ordinary comforts in these times and look I
buck regretfully lo days of relative cheapm s-s and easy I
ubu.idai . the Government can look back and make even
a.oi artliitg comparisons between its necessary outlays
n w and in former times. Toward the end of tho war of
.51-5 the treasury at Washington was spending money at
the rate of about a billion dollars a yettr, or $2,750,000 a dav.
Li t h i xpenditura was then regarded as stupendous and was
meed without precedent in tlie country’s history, but it
was a mere bagatelle compared with what is and must be
si til now for a lar greater undertaking.
We re; 1 of a pr< scut actual expenditure by our Govern-
i at of n !i st than sixty-live millions a day and of future
net espary expenditures at the rata oi thiriy-fo r billions u
year, or mere than ninety-three millions a day’ it takes
the breath away and one is inclined to ask why must such
things be? The answer is pointedly and briefly made in
the following passage from the President's recent address
to Congress:
“We are not only in the midst of the war, we are at the
very peak and crisis f it. Hundreds of thousands of our
men. tarrying our hearts with hem and our fortunes, are
n the field, and ships are crowding faster and faster the
•i i ts of France and England with regiment after regiment,
thousands after thousands, to join th- in until the enemy
shall be beaten and brought to a reckoning with mankind.
There can bo no pause or intermission.
The great enterprise must, on the contrary, be pushed
with greater and greater energy. The v lume of oi.r might
must steadily and rapidly be augmented until there c in
be no question ol resisting it. If that is to be accomplished,
. einlemen. money must sustain it to the utmost.’’—Valdos
ta Times.
