VOLUME XII. GEORGIA EDUCATIONAL NEWS 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 Grows. example Atlanta has set a worthy to the whole state’In the matter of taking care of the health of hei school children. The more peopk know of. this,important work, as is indicated in the Atlanta situation, tne more they sustain it. Atlanta Journal: At a meeting of the committee of the Atlanta Cham¬ ber of commerce on medical examina¬ tion of school children, held Wed¬ nesday Afternoon, resolutions were adopted 'Recommending to the city council the employment of an addi tional medical examiner for Atlanta schools, and recor mending to the county Icommiseiom rs the employ¬ ment of an examiner for the schools of Fulton county. who has been Ur.

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. Washington. A system of accounting to deter¬ mine the cost of work at all navy yards wan provided for by the house by the adoption of an amendment to the naval bill appropriating $30,000 for that work. The amendment stip¬ ulates that the system to be put into effect shall be similar to that estab¬ lished at the Boston nevy yard in July, 1909. Former Vice President Fairbanks declineo V lie offer extended to him by Presiy J Taft to act as a special envoy of United States to Bue¬ nos Ajrers* *!ext month celebration on the occa¬ to sion of the centenary Wood, be held there. General Leonard who is soon to become chief of staff of the army, has now been designat ed. lllness and his recent return from such extensive travels, influenc¬ ed Mr. Fairbanks in his decision. State elections are not to be in fluenced by political appointments made from the white bouse, if Presi¬ dent Taft can prevent it. He show¬ ed this when he refused to decide a controversy which will have some Influence on the coming elections In West Virginia. The senate bill to amend the act establishing a national military park on the battlefield of Chickamauga, Tf-nn., passed the house without amendment. The measure now' awaits the signature of the president. Ex-President Roosevelt and all oth er e -presidents of the United States or their widows will be given the franking privilege for mail during their lifetime under the terms of a bill passed by the housfe by a voae of one hundred and twenty to seventy six. Toe measure met some opposl tion on the democratic side. To aid in the establishment of chil¬ dren's playgrounds throughout the United States the treasury depart¬ ment decided to permit the use of un¬ occupied government building sites under its control, by responsible asso¬ ciations or local officials. The de¬ partment controls more than- three hundred sites throughout the country, of which one hundred and thirty-eight are vacant. Heretofore, the depart¬ ment has declined to permit any use to be made of/suth sites than for di rect government purposes.

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. HER WISH. A newly engaged couple were en¬ joying some blissful moments alone after dinner. They had broken the wishbone at the table.
