THE ATLANTA UEUKU1AJN AJNL) NEWS. TITIKHDAl, MAY I, IJJKt. CHILDREN FREE, Schley County Representative Will Offer Bill to Have the State Do Printing. BY JAMES B. NEVIN. Representative MeCrory, of Schley County, is very much in earnest in his proposal to introduce a bill In the next Legislature looking to the pub lication by the State of text books for use in the common schools of '• Georgia. The eventual purpose, of course, is to furnish the school children with text books free of charge entirely, but if that cannot be brought about at once, then the State, by undertak ing the publication of the books, can, in Mr. McCrary’s opinion, at least 4 , greatly lessen the cost to Individuals. The gentleman from Schley cites fia State publication of the Supreme Court reports to show how the State oan save money to individuals on books, when It engages in their pub lication; and while he would not put the State in the attitude generally of competing with private enterprise, still he thinks it well may interest Itself In the printing of books used In State institutions. Time was when Supreme Court re ports, Issued by private concerns, cost Up to $7 a volume. These same books mav now be had for abuut one-fourth that cost. The argument that many more copies are sold now- • adays than formerly Is ofTset, in a measure, by the fact that the cost of printing steadily has increased in ' general, while the cost of the reports has decreased steadily. There is no doubt that the ex pense of text books, now put direct ly upon the people, is heavy and bur densome in the extreme to a large number of citizens, particularly in the more rural sections. Mr. Mc- Crory’s effort to lift this burden, in part, If not In whole, will, therefore, find much favor among the people. The question of working out a plan whereby his desire may be wrought In ft workable law Is, perhaps, com plex in a way, but if he presents a bill that is practical. It undoubtedly will receive strong support. To be sure, the book publication concerns will not relish the idea of the State taking over the text book business, and may be depended upon » to fight it. Nevertheless, such a bill ( will be possible of passage, if it comes with the elements of common sense and practicability attached to it—and such a bill, Mr. MeCrory Insists, he will be prepared to offer. Minter Wimberly, of Bibb, who will be a member of the next House, made ^ a greet reputation in the last as the champion man-who-explains-lds- vote. Under a rule of the House, all members are permitted three minutes in which to explain their votes. This ia looked upon as a right personal to the individual member, and rare ly is there objection to it. Mr. Wim berly loves to talk, and talks well, at that, and so he misses few occa sions to arise and explain how it happens that he votes thus and so. It Is doubtful whether the incom ing House will produce among the new members a vote explainer equal to Mr. Wimberly, but if it does, it will require some expert figuring to determine which 1^ entitled to the session's blue ribbon when the day of adjournment arrives next August. The high standard maintained by fhe schools of Tift County is abund antly evidenced in the fact that of the first twelve schools to reach the standard set by the State Board of Education, two are located in Tift. The eighth school in the State to achieve the required standard. was ths Red uak School, and the twelfth was the Brookfield. No other Coun ty has nearly equalled Tift's record thus far. The important news has been her alded forth from Charlottesville, Va„ that young Oscar Underwood, Jr., the distinguished editor of “Corks and Curls”—whatever that iE—has been duly and truly Initiated into the Rav en society. The Raven is a very exclusively lit erary society, and gets its name from Tj ’dgar Allen Poe’s wonderful poem, just exactly what “Corks and thirls" is, however, nobody seems able to say, right off the bat, but it must be something, of course! Young Mr. Underwood has many friends in Georgia, arid was recently engaged in some Government work j near Rome. “Uncle Billy" Wilson, of Gwinette, looks in on the Klnlball House lob by now and then, where Georgia pol iticians most do congregate, and in cidentally pushes along his boomlet for assistant commissioner of agricul ture. He will not be a member of the next House, and more is the pity, for he was much of the sauce pi quant—"Uncle Billie” is assured that “piquant" is a perfectly proper word '—of the last one. He says lie proposes to remain in Atlanta during the greater part of the forthcoming session, where as guide, philosopher, and friend, lie will be ever at the service of the mem bership. The question of cow vs. anti-cows ^is up again In Thotnasville.
