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

Atlanta. 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. Friday night there
will be a special entertainment in the
dancing tavern and gold room at
the DeSoto. There will be a special
floor show for the occasion and
everything that is customary at a
modem night club will be provided.
Breakfast will be served the mo
torcade guests at 7 o’clock Satur
day morning after which they will
leave for Jacksonville where they
ill witness the football game in th?
afternoon between the University of
Georgia and the University of Flor
ida. 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.

NEED FOR BETTER
TAX SYSTEM SEEN
Mere Thu Free Hu4re4 Ttacfc-

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

were designated as hosts at the din-
During the afternoon sessions sep

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
