GREAT PROGRESS
N STATE SCHOOLS
BARRET-ROGERS ACT HAS PROV¬
EN THUS FAR TO BE A
SPLENDID SUCCESS
STATE KEWSJIF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here and
There From All Sections
Of The State
Atlanta.—That the public school of
fie state have already made great prog¬
ress under the Barrett-Rogers act, oth¬
erwise known as the school codifica¬
tion law of 1919, in spite of unusual¬
ly adverse conditions, is shown in the
mnual report to the general assem¬
bly of the state superintendent of
schools, advance copies of which have
just been received from the printer.
The superintendent’s report shows
that the total amount expended for
the public schools last year was $9,-
270,135.29 as against $7,619,267.86 the
previous year.
While "the appropriation from the
state treasury was $500,000 larger, the
imount raised by local taxation had
increased nearly $1,000,000, the fig
ires being $4,295,9*0,66 for 1919 iw
igainst $3,373,193.75 the previous year.
The increase was more apparent than
real, however, on account of the di
ninished value of the dollar, Mr. Brit¬
ain declares.
The total expenditures for education
il purposes in the state, including col
eges and secondary schools, increas¬
ed from $9,904,880.81 in 1918 to $12,
>48,833.68 last year.
The superintendent expresses the
.pinion that the legislation enacted last
f ear was the best Georgia has ever
obtained. He says that the new com¬
pulsory attendance law has crowded
he schools with 40,000 new pupils,
mil has addd greatly to the seating
problem in many of the city schools.
Under the consolidation section of
She act a number of the weaker
schools have been ^eliminated and in¬
terest in education’stimulated by join¬
ing several small schools. The $1,000
high school bonus has enabled the
it ate board of education to place high
schools in nine-tenths of the fifty
bounties which had no high school
before, thereby giving tlieir boys and
;irls opportunities equal to the train
~'g of the wealthier communities.
Second Division Honors Dead
Atlanta.—Inspiring addresses by
Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, com¬
mander of the famous Second divi¬
sion overseas* Maj. GeGn. John A. Le
ieune, who succeeded him, and three
Atlanta ministers, all of whom served
with the American army in France,
two of the$n attached to the Second,
marked impressive memorial exer
:,ases in honor of the more than 5,000
hero dead of the renowned division
aeld at the Baptist tabernacle May
3. The meeting opened the second
annual reunion of the famed veterans
pf the Belleau wood and more than
i score of other fierce conflict and
was attended by comrades of the dead
men from all parts of the United
States 'and by a large gathering of
relatives and friends of the members
pf the division.
lanner Building Year Indicated
Atlanta.—Permits issued by Build
ng Inspector C. J. Bowen during that
period amounted to the enormous to¬
tal of $6,600,000, an increase of $3,-
100,000 over the aggregate of permits
fog, the corresponding period of 1919,
which totaled only $3,500,000. And
yet, Mr. Bowen states, 1919 was the
record year in the city's history, the
past few years of which have done
so much to win for Atlanta the title
of “i-.etropolis of the South.” The to¬
tal permits of last year aggregated
$10,442,000. If 1920 continues to lead
its predecessor in the same proportion
that its first five months led the ini¬
tial five months a year ago, the total
amount of this year’s building con¬
struction will reach $19,600,000, anfi
will, of course, shatter any record
of which Atlanta has ever dreamed
in all her industrial life.
Four Policemen Hurt
Atlanta.—Motorcycle Officer J. W.
Alashburn, Jr„ who was struck by a
3 peeding automobile at the corner of
Peachtree and Seventeenth street,
while chasing another car, is report¬
ed to be improved at the Grady hos¬
pital. Doctors now express tire belief
that his rigtjt leg is not fractured, as
was at first thought. Officer Mash
burn is the fourth motorcycle officer
to be injured within the past few
months while chasing speeding auto
mobilists. Officer George Lee came
near meeting death when run into and
over by a heavy touring «r about
two months ago. Officer Lon Evans
sustained a broken leg about thirty
days ago, and Fred C. Bullard has not
yet ^recovered from injuries received
some three weeks ago.
Street Car Man Beats Off Assailant
Atlanta.—J. R. Leach, division su¬
perintendent of the Georgia Railway
and Power company, told the police
of a physicalxlash he hatpin the rear
of his home with an unidentified ne¬
gro, who attempted to kill him when
he refused to surrender his money
and watch. Mr. Leach said the ne¬
gro sprank out of the darkness and
drew a pistol on him. In the clash
which followed the weapon was dis¬
charged, Mr. Leaefi receiving a powder
burn on the face. The negro fled 1
when the alarm was sounded f

gating 571 days of labor at the city
stockade were imposed by the record¬
er. There were 220 bound over to

ty-two defendants appeared in court

Atlanta.—Joseph C. Cox, member of
the board of directors of the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks, has been in
structed by Grand President E. H,
Fitzgerald to take charge of the strike
of railway clerks of the southeastern
federation temporarily, and President
Fitzgerald and other grand lodge of¬
ficers will shortly arrive in Atlanta
to investigate the .controversy, ac¬
cording to a wire received by the
newspapers from Presdent Fitzgerald.
The telegram confirmed rumors that
had circulated to the effect that Mr.
Cox was being sent here by the grand
lodge in an effort to bring about a
settlement of the strike between near¬
ly two thousand clerks and tlie princi¬
pal railways of the Southeast.
Aged Woman Breaks Hip
Dublin.—Mrs. M. L. Cullen, eighty
one of the most beloved old ladies of
this county, had her hip broken by
a fail between midnight and four
o’clock recently, it not being known
how loir; she lay on tlie sidewalk af¬
ter the fall before she was found. She
had been nursing at the home of a
neighbor aad after this neighbor died
she decided to go home alone. On the
way a number of dogs attacked her
and while fighting them off she fell
and broke her hip. About four in the
morning a negro passing by heard her
cries for help and went to the scene
at once. Policemen were summoned
and the old lady was carried to her
homewhere medical attention was se¬
cured.
Verdict Given For $1,006,310
Savannah.—A million dollar verdict
has been authorized by Judge Bev
ely D. Evans in the federal court at
this place in favor of the Union Trust
Company of Detroit against the Great
Eastern Lumber company of Savan¬
nah, the judgment including, in addi¬
tion, accrued interest of $168,767.80.
The principal sum ran over a million
by $6,310. The Great Eastern was a
pre-war concern. A mortgage against
it was foreclosed in 1915, the prop¬
erty being near Port Wentworth. It
was bought by the Savannah River
Lumber company, which now operates
a huge business on the site of the
defunct organization.
Fund Started For Jamesons
Atlanta.—A movement to raise a
fund of $2,000 to lift mortgages total¬
ing that amount from the home and
farm of Detective Claud J. Jameson,
Who was killed by a negro when he
raided a gambling house in the rear
of a bouse on Chestnut street, lTas
been set on foot here as a means to
bring financial relief to the widow and
four young sons who survive the offi¬
cer who made the supreme sacrifice
for the sake of peace and law in At¬
lanta. Harry F. Williams, well known
bicycle merchant, whose place of busi¬
ness is on Edgewood, is the origina¬
tor o fthe idea and the first to con¬
tribute toward the fund.
Fitzgerald Clerks Return To Work
Fitzgerald.—Members of the Broth¬
erhood of Railway Clerks, who walked
out in sympathy with the strikers
on the Central of Georgia, have re¬
turned to work, having received in¬
structions from the national headquar¬
ters of the union to return to their
jobs. It is supposed that most of the
employees will again fill their for
mer positions. While the business of
the railroad was crippled by the sud¬
den stop of the clerical force, the lo¬
cal public took matters easy and as¬
sisted the road in getting arriving
freight distributed without a great
deal of deiay.
32 Warehouses Would Be Bonded
Atlanta.—Following his request to
the state banks to use their influence
with the.warehousemen in ther terri
tory to join the federal bonded system
made less than sixty days ago, Su
peratendent of Banks T. R. Bennett
annourfbes that thirty-two warenouses
have made application for license and
bond. This is considered a nextraor
dinarily good showing in view of the
fact that there are now only eight
lcensed warehouses in the state, al¬
though the law has been in effect sev
eral years and manf efforts have been
made to get the, warehousemen tc
join.
Floyd Farmers To Hear About Gran.
Rome.—The Rome chamber of com
merce will send out letters to the
farmers of Floyd county and will run
a series of advertisements in the Rome
newspapers setting forth facts about
the impending food shortage and the
scarcity of grain. This action was
decided upon at a well attended meet
ing of the rganization. The situation
was discussed at length and with
much earnestness by many speakers
and this plan of action was afreet
upon.
