CADETS TO MEET NORMANFRIDAY Stotatici Show That CaReto (tot Pkjred Navy riehea Last Satar- •toy. The G. M. C. cadets will meet the Norman Junior College football team here on Davenport Fie’d at three-thirty o’clock Friday in the fifth game of the season. Coach Butt's team returned from Annapolis Monday and in spite of their hard battle against a heavier more experienced team are in good shape for the contest on their Am field Friday. The cadets made a better showing against the Navy Plehes than the ■ seems to indicate. The statistics show that G. M. C. made twelve first down to the Plebes five and that the Cadets had the ball within scoring distance twice besides the time they tallied their lone touch down. One time soon after play started they carried the ball to the yard line, but failed to score. Another time just before the first quarter ended they lost th? ball on fumble deep in the opposition territory. The only apparent edge the Plebes had over the Milledge- ville team was in the kicking de partment. Watson and McFarlane for the Navy booted the ball for an average distance of fifty yards One of the prettiest plays of the game was a pass of forty yards from Ken- more to Pittman. Jacobs. Butts and Kcnmorc played the best game for ♦he cadets. Big Ed Thomas tackle. Jack Trout man and John Bunch were absent from practice Wednesday and it is likely that they will not be able to participate in the game he.e Fri day. The strength of the Norman team of Coach Bill Bodenhamcr is an un known quantity, though word has been received that they are strong er than last year. The officials for the game Friday are: J. D. Thomason (Georgia) Ref eree; Townsend (Ga.) Umpire- Mor gan. (Mercer) Headlinesman, Slocum (Ga.

Oct. 16.—Celebrating th? completion of Georgia’s historic highway, sweeping in paved per fection from the captial to the sea, the Atlanta Constitution-Savannah Morning News motorcade will leave here the morning of November 1, This “four capitals’ motorcade, starting from Atlanta, the present capital of the state, will stop for lunch and a special program at Mil- ledgeville, the wartime capital of this state. Later the parade of cars will roll into Louisville, another capital of the early days of the com monwealth, where brief exercises will be held. Late in the afternoon, the motor cade will reach its goal at Savan nah, first capital of the colony of Georgia and a city that for more than tv.-o centuries has been known wher ever the threads of friendship reach as the synonym of hospitality and cordial good-fellowship. Hundreds of automobiles, bearing leaders from Atlanta and every city either directly on the highway or served by it in conjunction with feed er roads, will take part in the cele bration. Already the mayors of 26 cities along the route have signified their intentions to participate in the event and it is expected that more will join. Entertainment Planned The official program calls for the motorcade to start from Atlanta at 8 a. m. Thursday. November 1. The party will reach Savannah that af ternoon and at 7 o’clock that night a dinner for Lae guests will be given at the Hotel DeSoto, official head quarters in the coast city. At 10 o’clock Thursday night there will be a grand ball in the main din- g room at the DeSoto. Friday will be devoted to right seeing trips around Savannah md its historically rich territory, with oyster roast and shore dinner at Tybe beach from noon to 4 o’clock Friday aftemon.

Individual cars of the motor cade will return home as and when they prefer. Key Likes Ides Mayor Thomas Gamble of Savan nah. has joined with mayors of oth- cities along the route in issuing formal proclamation concerning the motorcade. “This is to welcome all Georgians along the route of the “four capi tals" highway, the highway that unites Atlanta and the mountain lands to Savannah and the seashore, to unite with the people of Savan nah, first capital of the state, in cele brating the opening of this magnifi cent paved highway in a manner be fitting an event of such great im portance in the transportation his tory of Georgia.” Mayor James L. Key of Atlanta is an enthusiastic protagonist of the motorcade and has promised to take part "Savannah is the birthplace of the Georgia we know iodav,” said Mayor Key. Herschel V. Jenkins, publisher of the Savannah Morning News one of the first men, in conjunction with Clark Howell, publisher of the Constitution, to be approached by Mayor Gamble of Savannah when the idea for the “four capitals” mo torcade first germinated. “I am it hearty accord with Mayor Gamble’- idea,’’ he wrote. “I feel cretain the entire section through which the old capital route runs will respond to the plan with enthusiasm.’’ Mr. Jenkins’ prediction has been borne out with even greater enthu siasm than he anticipated and no small part of that enthusiasm has been due to the manner in which he has backed the idea and given it fullest support in the news and editorial columns of the Savannah Morning News. Many Cara May Enter The program for the motorcade, in which it is expected that at least two hundred Atlanta cars will take part, forming the nucleus to be add ed to at every point en route, calls for the start at this city at 8 o’clock the morning of Thursday, No vember 1. Athens, while not directly on the route, has promised a large delega tion which will fall in line at Madi- Othor cities not actually on highway will also send groups of cars to join at the most conven- ent junction point. The route will be. from Atlanta, through Avondale, Qonycrs, Cov ington, Madison, Eatonton and Mil- ledgeville. A pause for lunch and brief program, as well as fi sight seeing tour of the many histo ric spots at Milledgeville, wartime capital of the state, will occupy sev eral hours here. The parade will then continue through Sandersville to Louisville, another former state capital, where brief exercises and a welcome from Mayor R. L. Bethea and other Louis ville leaders are programmed. Passing through Swainsboro and Graymont summit, the motorcade will reach Statesboro where it will be met with a large line of Savan- and escorted into Savan nah. The official Savannah delegation will meet the motorcade at Milledge- ville, but the main Savannah 'cade will not be met until Statesboro is reached.

President of the Synodical, when she learned that on .account of the epidemic of dan- gue fever prevaling in the city, there was illness in the homes of a large number of the hostesses, and the illness of Mrs. C. P. Crawford the honor guest, immediately called off the meeting until an indefinite date. The members and ladies of the Milledgeville Presbyterian had made all arrangements for the entertain ment of the visitors in their home and a most interesting program had been arranged. It was a source of great disappointment that they could not have the members of the Synod ical as their guests. ILLNESS HITS UNION-RECORDER OFFICE Jere N.

NEED FOR BETTER TAX SYSTEM SEEN Mere Thu Free Hu4re4 Ttacfc- cn Attead UacaHoaal Meet el MiDedgeviBe. The Georgia Educational Associa tion sponsored a sixth district gional conference here Monday which attracted over 500 teachers. Hicks Fort, chairman of the board of education of the city of Co lumbus, gave the keynote address before a gathering of teachers and laymen in the Methodist church Sunday evening. His address fea tured a program that was presided ever by Dr. E. H. Scott registrar of G. S. C. W., and Milton Fleet- wood. president of the Georgia Lay 's Educational Association. A musical program was given by the glee club of the woman’s college. Mr. Fort made a straight-forward presentation of educational condi tions as he found them in Georgia and appealed to the people to bc- educational conscious. He concluded his remarks by suggest ing n sales tax as the means of rais ing the needed revenue to improve the schools, pay teachers adequately and promptly and to operate all schools for a nine-month period. The Monday session was held in the auditorium of G. S. C. W. f and featured by an address by Wil lis A. Sutton of Atlanta. More learn ing and less teaching was urged by Mr. Sutton as he pointed out that is not the school building that made the child’s education, but the development of the child’s person ality. Tax Change Urged Other speakers on the morning program Included Miss Allie Mann, Atlanta, president of the Georgia Educational Association, who pre sided at the session. **,s. Charles D. Center, president of the Georgia Congress of Parents and Teachers made a short address; W. E. Knox, supemitendent of the Jones county schools; Lincoln McConnell, state re-employment director, and Dr. S. V. Sanford, president of the Univer sity of Georgia, also made addrseses. Mr. McConnell advised teachers to study pupils with regard to the type of work for which they are best fitted, and to guide them in the proper direction. Dr. Sanford discussed the state and county tax systems, insofar as they are concerned vnth education. “As long as Georgia holds to prop erty tax. we will be unable to meet the demands of state needs. The ” f e l? able to finance itself and ill do so when people realize that property is over-taxed and use other forms of taxation. Then, and only them, can schools be adequately sup ported. “No money is so well spent as that which a city or state invests education. We should not attempt to patch up the mistakes of yester day. but to create for tomorrow. A unified system of state supported schools is necessary if we are to progress in education in Georgia, and some method of obtaining money for such a system must be found," Dr. Sanford declared. At noon the guests were enter tained at barbecue dinner. Hosts were'br. Guy H. Wells, president of G. S. C. W.; P. N. Bivins, superin tendent of the Baldwin county pub lic schoo’s; Col. J. H. Jenkins, presi dent of G. M. C.. and the citizens of Milledgeville and Baldwin county were designated as hosts at the din- During the afternoon sessions sep arate meetings devoted to discus- si^ of the high school, elementary principles, elementary education and primary education were held. ECHETAH PARTY POSTPONED The regular every other Monday night party of the Echetah Club has been postponed until the night of October 29th, due to the con tinued prevclance of the dangue fever in the city. T. H. R. Over territory through which Grant slowly advanced and to which Lee held desperately for one year at a cost of 60,000 men to one side in one battle at Petersburg, Virginia, eighty-four people in Georgia Mili tary College’s football party dashed in a few hours with the loss 9! only seven points in the football score of 13 to 6 in the G. M. C.—Plate contest of October IS in Annapolis. Md. The game, of course, was the thing, but it was by no means all there wa? to this colorful trip. Sight seeing rang up a high score, not to be reckoned in numerals, but in points of interest. Top place went to Washington, the nation’s capital. Beginning with the Arlington Me morial Bridge, from which could be the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument and rang ing through the maze u' new office buildir s s‘ '■rmpleted and in pro cess o' construction on the new Constitution Avenue on the Capi tol Building and Congressional Li brary, the first glimpses of the na tion’s center served to whet the crowd’s appetite for more. On the return trip, many cadets viewed for the first time the interior of Smith sonian Institution, the Capitol. Wash ington Monument Lincoln Me morial, Arlington, and Mount Vem- Soveral related the feat of walking down the stairs in the Washington Monument. Some were impressed by the guard on constan* duty at the Unknown Soldier’s grave Arlington. The Washington Monument was clothed in an intri cate scaffolding from which work- are giving the structure a two hundred thousand dollar bath. The White House was closed for re modelling, but the cadets saw the President’s yacht, the Sequoia, at Annapolis. President Roosevelt, himself boarded the yacht only a few hundred yards from Bancroft Hall where the G. M. C. football squad was quartered, and left Fri day night on one of his famous week-end cruises. One of the new office buildings which houses the Interstate Com merce Commission and the Depart ment of labor offices is said to be the biggest office building in the world. Constitution Avenue, on which most of the new buildings are being erected, is designed to take the place of historic Pennsylvania Avenue for future parades. A few of the sightseers not on the foot ball team were privileged to see the new illuminated fountains on Capi tol Plaza Friday night, with their gorgeous colored waters gleaming against the snow white Capitol dome. The figure of Lincoln in side the portico of Lincoln Memorial stood out in quiet grandeur under the skillful night lighting. The scene on the waters of the Severn River that flows by the Naval Academy was for some the fulfillment of a youthful drearn. Every conceivable craft was anchor- r moving about there. Tidy lit tle sailboats hugged one shore in a long row. Rowboats manned by husky midshipmen plied about Sea planes were lined up on the deck of carrier ship. A squadron of sub marine destroyers swept in from deeper waters. The Sequoia lay at anchor. Other training ships were evidence. Every midshipman seemed to have a very definite task to perform. Platoons of higher class- marched in formation from tne building in which navigation and seamanship were taught. The heavy, double-breasted overcoats of the naval cadets were the envy of the G. M. C. contingent, for they a.e not included in the Georgia school’s standard equipment and the thermo- r had dropped about forty de gree? since the commencement of (Cnlisaed wi back page) Griffin, Ga, Oct. 16.—Dr. Guy Wells, president of the Georgia State College for Women at Milledgeville has accepted an invitation to speak Griffin on Armistice Day, No vember 11, which will conclude Education Week in Griffin. He will speak Sunday night, November 11, at the Firrt Methodist Church. The schools and churches of the dty and Troy D. Barnett Post of the American Legion will co-operate in the services here. The . meeting will take the place of the usual Ar mistice Day celebration in Griffin. Dr. Wells will speak on "Education 1 Useful and Happy Life"—the slogan of Griffin schools for the year.
