The election is over. The suc
cessful candidates are or should
be, your oaudidates now, whether
tbey were your choice before the
election or not. They are now
?Aiders of Houston County, and it
Is your duty as a loyal citizen to
cooperate with them in carrying
oat their oath of office.
In Collier's Weekly of Decem
ber 27, this important information
is given: more than 2,000.000 boys
and girls are comiag of age each
year; only one out of, eight is u]
high school graduate, and hardly j
a fourth of them have had any
high school training at alb We
neoi mors schools, but meanwhile
our universities are doing a won
derful work for those who m*ed
more schooling through Ihoir
Extension Department. Nearly
every >tate university and many
others uow give these correspond
ence courses and extension
lectures. Phis extension work is a
wonderful work and it is not fi
aauciallv expansive Many < f the
best men und women of Georgia
are taking advantage of this rx
ten*ion work. We have learned
tkat severa! in Houston County
? re takia:' such r\ course. This is

THE HARVEST IS GREAT
TRAINED WORKERS ARE FEW
The smAtl number of students
selebtiag courses in rural educa
tion in the normal schools in some
sections of the country is noted bj
the Bureau of Education of the
Interior Department. The exam?
pit' of a populous state cant of the
Mississippi is cited. That state
makes ample provision for two
ye^rs normal school training of
fcitfh school graduates who desire
to become teachers, liberal courses
being offered to prospective rural
teachers. A. comparatively small
number of students elect the rural
school courses, although the need
for trained rural teachers is very
freat.
Why do students shum the ru
ral school course? It is because
they can not afford to sacrifice two
years of t.hoir time to prepare for
poorly paid work. In that state
the law provides a minimum sal
ary of $800 a year, $100 a mouth
for a minimum term of 8 months
for teachers in the districts most
ly rural. In the districts mostly
nrban the minimum salary is $1,
000 a year for the trained begin
ner. Pour annual increments of
$100 bring the salary up to $1,400
Why should a teacher prepare ex
clusively for a $800 rural position
when the sains amount of prepara
tion for village or city school work
-would place a $1,400 position
within her reacM This state has
not recognized the principal of
?qua! pay for equal service of
equally trained teackers.
PEACH GROWERS SHOULD NOT NEGLECT
SCALE SPRAYING
Tho 1924 season bas been one ?(
tke Most fiirorable for the prop*
agation of the San Jose scale ia
Georgia peaeh orchards. Gravid
females and young scale are more
or less abundant in all orchards
that have not yet received the
dormant spray, aad growers are
urged to take advantage of the
flrst period of favorable weather
far the scale spraying. At the
present time perhaps three fourths
?f the acreage in (he peach belt is
yet to be sprayed.
On aocoaat of the great pro
lificacy of the San Jose scale a de
lay in applying the dormant spray
er the oaissioa of the aannal treat
neat may prove very costly. The

Giants Credited With
Building of Causeway
Die Giants' causeway i.s a group of
b&*a?tic rock* on the north coast ol
Antrim, Ireland. This promontory,
which is a portion of the basaltic for
mations found in the country of An
trim and near Londonderry, projects
Into tlie North channel. It Is called
Giants' causeway from the legend that
It was tli? beginning of a road which
tlie giants began to build across the
chunnel to Scotland. In past geological
periods the basaltic rock seems ?? to
have been forced upward. After long
periods of erosion a long line of per
pendicular cliffs 500 feet high is left.
Kor u distance of about f<00 or (KM) feet
ure many thousands of vertical coi
ns. Most of thein are six-sided, n!
ttiough some of them have tive, seveu,
eight and even nine regularly formed
bides. In diameter they range from 20
30 Inches. The tops of these pillan*
form an uneven pavement, hence tin
n?me "causeway." Strictly speaking,
the Giants' causeway Is formed of
three causeways, the Little, Honey
comb and Grand causeways.?Path

Mistaken Atmoaphere
The pastor had been holding revival
services lor some time. Much Interest
had been taken In them, but on this
particular e\ nlng the meeting had
been-more than usually Interesting.
As the service drew to a close the
j pastor said In his concluding remarks,
f "What a heavenly atmosphere there Is
\ here this evening." Happening to
glance, us he said it, at the pew where
his wife and sister sut, he saw a broad
Kmlle overspread their faces.
Wlitui the congregation had gone, he
said to them, "What made you girls
smile so when I was speaking?"
"Oh," said his wife, "we couldn't
help It. Juck Smith (a noted village
character) had been out hunting
skunks and he came into the meeting
without changing his clothes and sat
down right behind us, and when you
spoke of the heavenly atmosphere it
was too much."?Harding Herald.
Our Debt to Children
Iietter teachers, fuller school equip
ment, it matters not what they cost.
We owe them to our children, And we
owe them more. We owe tliem our
own example. What we do, and the
lives they live with us, will affect them
most, Cilve theiu a chance to be useful
in their childhood, to practice economy,
to do for themselves. If the greatest
men have usually been born in the
country and later gone to the city,
there is a reason. Huxley warns us
not to let a child's schooling Interfere
with Its education. It ought to have
the best schooling our brains and our
purses can procure. But Its deepest
education is in the hands of its parents.
?Norman Hapgood, in Hearst's Inter
national.
Sexton Kept Track
"I canna git ower It," remarked a
farmer to his wife. "I put a twa
shlllln' piece In the plate au the kirk
this mornin* instead o' uiy usual
penny."
The beadle had noticed the mistake,
and in silence he allowed the fanner
to miss the plate for 23 consecutive
Sunday?. * ?
On the twenty-fourth Sunday the
fnrnter again Ignored the plate, but the
old beadle stretched the ladle in front
of him and, in a tragic whisper,
hoarsely said:
"Your time's up noo, Sandy."?Edin
burgh Scotsman.
"From Pillar to Po?t"
. "From pillar to post" means from
one thing to another without any defi
nite purpose, hither and thither, to and
fro, from one court of appeal to an
other without any decision. The origin
of the expression is somewhat obscure.
Some authorities say it refers to the
tennis court. Others ballere it to b?
an sllusfoa to the schools *f horseman
