Local Taxation for School Purposes.
Since October 1, two counties in
the state, Newton and Burke, have es¬
tablished a county-wide system of 1c
cal taxation for common school pur¬
poses. The number of counties now
operating In a local tax is twenty-one,
all of these counties, the system
appears to work well and the schools
are ing constantly, but gradually, becom¬
better as a result of this local
self-help.
School improvement Clubs.
The Federation of Women’s Clubs
of Ueorgia is trying to extend its
work in a very practical way. Under
the leadership of Mrs. Hugh M. Wil¬
lett, president of the State Federation
of clubs, it is undertaken to reach
every country district in the state. It
is proposed to establish, as far as
is possible, about each country school
a club, the purpose of which is to im¬
prove school grounds and buildings,
and to aid teachers, in all possible
ways, to develop to the utmost the
school possibilities of each commun¬
ity. if suqeess/ul, this step will^nean
much for the efficiency of country
schools, as it dtid will tend to interest,
in a helpful co-operative way,
the people'and, particularly the moth¬
ers, of each school community in the
education of their children.
The following editorial is from the
Atlanta Journal, March 3d.
In accordance with plans matured
by the park commission at its meet¬
ing yesterday afternoon, there will be
seven well-equipped playgrounds
opened for the children of Atlanta
this summer.
That is evidence that the city is
wholesomely awakening to its respon¬
sibilities in this important particular.
Yet when it is reflected' that in the
public schools alone there are twenty
thousand children, one realizes that
seven playgrounds form only an em¬
bryonic beginning * in great and
a
needed work. We have cause to he
glad over what is already accomplish¬
ed. We are at least moving in the
right direction, Hut we also have
cause to be eager and earnest in the
establishment of more playgrounds.
We must realize that we have barely
begun to toddle in tliis vast duty.
If Atlanta is to keep pace on the
social as well as • commercial side
with her peers among cities she must
bestir herself in those activities
which make tin* life of the whole peo¬
ple more livable, more heatlhful and
enjoyable. And of all such activities,
none is now appealing more deeply to
the country at large than that of es
tablishing childrens playgrounds. At
the meeting of the park commission
yesterday Mayor Maddox pointed out
that three years ago there were only
seventy-seven playgrounds in the
United States; that in 1908 this num¬
ber increased to two hundred and
seventeen; in 1909 to four hundred
and twelve, and in 1930 to one thou¬
sand and twenty-four. New York and
Chicago, he showed, are spending
millions of dollars annually on behalf
of public recreation places. These
arc significant figures. They Indicate
the march of present-day civic
Uieught, and admonish Atlanta that
‘ when she must
the hour l.aa come
fall in line or be left.
Medical Inspection of School Children

Atlanta has set a worthy

taking care of the health of hei

indicated in the Atlanta situation, tne
more they sustain it.

A SOUTHERN BOOSTER.
“Southern Field,” Published By the Southern
Railway Company, Praises Dixie.
Atlanta, Ga. — ‘The South as a
Profitable Field for Stock Raising,'
is the theme of the April issue of the
Southern Fieid, the official organ of
the land and i ustrial departments
of the Southern railway, the Mobile
and Ohio, the Georgia, Southern and
Florida, the Alabama Great Southern
and the Cincinnati New Orleans and
Texas Pacific railroads, Advance
proofs which have just come from the
press indicate that this issue, thou¬
sands of copies of which will be
placed in the hands of desirable set¬
tlers now living in the north and
weat, will preach a great sermon on
the opportunities for profit in the
stock business in the south.
The leading article tells of the
great awakening of interest in this
industry in the south and the opening
of a mammoth packing house in At¬
lanta is pointed out as an indication
that the movement for the south to
raise its food at home is now well
under way. Well written articles ful¬
ly illustrated, tell of the advantage
to be found in various parts of the
south and the northern or western
farmer is assured that by coming
south he can procure cheaper land
with a climate giving practically
twice as much time for work in the
year and still persue the kind of ag¬
ricultural industry too which he is
accustomed, instead of having no al¬
ternative but to raise cotton.
Wiregrass Georgia and the section
along the line of ti» Augusta South
era railroad come In for a consider
able share of attention, but no sec
tion of the south is neglected and
though the raising of live stock is
given chief attention all branches of
southern agriculture and industry are
touched upon.
This magazine, which is published
under the direction of Land and In¬
dustrial Agent M. V. Richards, is a
great booster for the south and all
readers are assured that any one in¬
terested in the south will be given
the fullest information on applica¬
tion to the department’s headquarters
in Washington, where facts and fig
ures concerning any section of the
south are to be had at a moment s
notice and a permanent exposition
of the south’s resources is maintained
open to the investigation of any one.
Railway to Bar Women.
Pittsburg, Pa—A report that the
Iiatlimore and Ohio railroad will In
the future bar the employment of
women stenographers, clerks and f
egraph operators was confirmed here.
No women now in the employ of the
railroad will be discharged because
of their sex, but none will be given
positions from now on.

LATE NEWS NOTES.
General.
Because his discharge from the
army shows that he was one of the
two men who captured Jefferson Da¬
vis in Savannah, Ga., forty-live years
ago, John Wolen, aged seventy, was
released from the Seattle, Wash., jail
on suspended sentence. Wolen was
convicted of “bootleggingj’ Hip dis¬
charge shows that he served in
Company F, seventh Pennsylvania
calvary, during the war.
Governor Stubbs of Kansas in a
Chicago speech defended state-wide
prohibition as practical in his state.
He said that as a result people in
Kansas were now better clothed, bet¬
ter fed and have finer homes, that
they have bigger families and bigger
bank accounts. They had thus, in
his opinion, refuted the cry the abo¬
lition of the saloon would mean busi¬
ness stagnation.
An authority of Captain D- F. Osl
bon,,one of the most active support¬
ers of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, it was
announced in New York city, that
about $175,000 bad been guaranteed
toward a fund to help Dr. Cook prove
his claim to discovery of the north
pole. A prominent western man. Cap¬
tain Osbon said, had pledged $100,000
of this sum. Captain Osbon said that
he was in correspondence with the ex¬
plorer and that he expected the doc¬
tor home by the latter part of the
present month.
Ricardo Martin, the tenor, who will
divide honors with Caruso at Atlan¬
ta's grand opera productions, May 2,
4, 6 and 7, is delighted at the pros¬
pect of coming to the south. Martin
is a Kentucky boy, and obtained his
first musical training in Nashville,
Tenn. He is American through and
through, and proud of the fact that
he is of the sunny south.

effect shall be similar to that estab¬
lished at the Boston nevy yard in
July, 1909.

partment controls more than- three
hundred sites throughout the country,
of which one hundred and thirty-eight

ment has declined to permit any use
to be made of/suth sites than for di

The notion that women teachers
and girl schoolmate** weaken a boy’s
character and vigor and manliness is
based on an entirely superficial and
erroneous idea as to the outward in¬
dications of these qualities, submits
the New York Press. The fact that
k bis polite, well bred, does not
swear like a frooper—- in short, is not
9 confounded nuisance to every
growvi-up in bis immediate neighbor¬
hood—is no argument against his
manl'.aess. A man Is never -more
manly than when his heart has been
captured by a woman. There Is just
*k mzch reason for believing that as¬
sociation with sweethearts and wives
is disastrous to manliness as that
feminine companionship and control
during school days has such an effect,
The real sissy is born, not made. He
is a product of nature, not of educa
tion and environment.

A newly engaged couple were en¬

“Well—il will if you will.”
"X hate to do it—it might not come
