the weather yesterday?
Who says the Dutch are not on top?
M. Karneback, of Holland, has just
been elected president of the League
of Nations.
With an increase of 157,000,000
bushels in the world’s wheat crop this
year it is inconceivable that there
should be any hungry people in the
world. ’
New York baseball is busy on the
job of winning that world series pen

that New York Just can’t lose the hon

Reduction In the express rates on
fish, oysters, clams, etc., will enable

And still Mexico munages to get

Some of the Georgia railroads are
asking for Increases In freight rates
that reach the high total of one hun
dred and thirty per cent. The chan
ces are that the rail lines need the
money, but what Is tho shipper to do?
The endorsement on tho part of the
Glynn county commissioners of that
proposed Florida trip, at thoir moot

Is growing on the Brunswick mind
and promises to be a great, big suc

Critics In Washington ay that the
speech delivered in the senate a few
days ago by Senator John Sharp Wil
liams of Mississippi, was tho ablest
address delivered In that body in
twenty-five years. Senator Williams
is. perhaps, tho üblost orator in the
Senate.

In the death of ('has. G. Hell, of Sa

WHY THIS ARBITRARY POSITION?
When the Board of Education meets
this morning it will be presented with
a petition of the loca 1 schools be
seeching that body to return to the
time honored system cf school hours
in Brunswick.
In all frankness, The News does
not feel that the Board of Education
has shown the proper the
sentiment in the that
subject or fwrrthose who awggfcnoat vi
tally concerned in the par
ents of tlija f children —largely the
mothers, uptfe . whose shoulders the
real burden the child falls,
To these women have,
time petitioned and mem
orialized CbeSSfcard to the
common .courtesy of consideration; it
has not yet to do this
and The News understands, has de
nied representative women of the
city, a hearing on the subject at its
meeting scheduled for today.
It is not a pleasan thing for The
News to be forced to remind the
Board of Education that.it is but the
servant o fthe people after all. Like
all other functioning bodies in our
system of government, it is created
by the will of the people and the will
of the people ought to be the highest
sort of mandate with it!
It is also unpleasant to remind this
Board of the fact that early in the
present year, a movement was on foot
to legislate it out of office, in fact a
bill was drawn and submitted to the
representative from Glynn county, in
tended to bring that about. The News
very stubbornly resisted that move
ment and from the very beginning
raised its voice against such a harsh
measure. In view of the attitude of
the Board on this subject, which is
both arbitrary and unfair may we
express the opinion, that there may
have been more cause for that propos
ed legislation than we then knew?
In any event, we are again appeal
ing to the Board of Education of
Glynn county to respond to the senti
ment of the people on this subject and
restore here in Brunswick the same
system as to school hours now in
vogue in a vast majority of the cities
and towns in Georgia. Reasons for
this change have been submitted from
every viewpoint and we are forced to
opinion th%t the refusal of the Board
to accede to these requests is not
bpsed on wisdom or justice to the
people more directly interested in the
§jtuatlo)a. Then again, we desire to
ur very emphatic protest
/against the edict sent forth to the la
■ dies at the head of this movement by
the Board of Educate n that they
must present a petition containing
the- names of eighty per eent of the
patrons of the schools, in order to se
cure the remedy and the relief they
so devoutly desire. Since when and
by what source of reasoning hus eigh
ty por cent become n majority of any
given number.
The truth of tho matter is that this
ill-advised plan of keeping children
in school from 8:ito o'clock in the
morning to 4:30 o'clock in tho after
noon. was adopted in the face of the
opposition of u great majority of the
putrons (and the teachers, too if they
ware free, as we are, to express a sin
cere opinion) and it has boon arbitrar
lly maliltalncd merely because the
power to do so for the time being has
been placed in the hands.of the tew.
who control things on the Hoard of
Education!
That's all there is to it and we sub
mit that it is unfair, without reason
and controry to the will of the vast
majority of the people who, after all
is said and done, pay the expenses of
the schools.
if the Board of Education has good
reasons to offer for Its position, then
in justice to itself. It should give them
to the public falling in that we regard
it as the duty of the Board to bow to
the popular w-ill and give the patrons
of the schools what they have asked
for and what they had a perfect right
to demand!
FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
Governor Hardwick has issued a
prcclrtimiilpt# designating October 10
as “Fire Prevention'’ day ! Georgia,
and he asked life various cities
of the stdtk ttv*fcooperate with* him in
making the day a successful as well
as a vnluakg* one in Georgia.
The proclamation of Governor
Hardwick n* the suhjeet follow*:
# p a prociatomktomi is
sued by the president of the Unit
ed States, designating Oct9ber 10
as “Fire Prevention day” and
calling upon the governors of
their respective states to lake
such action as will bring to {he
attention of their people the enor
mous loss of life and property
annually, due in most cases, to
preventable Urea, and the neces
sity of conserving the resources
of ihctr states, especially at a
Uttm when a shortage of homes,
and bgMduo*. house* confront* n*. ,
Therefore.' I Thomas W Hard
wick. governor of the state of
Georgia, do, hereby name October
I<# s “Fire prevention Day" In
t v -i ate sa pr#*
venting the spread of disastrous
fires.
The News suggests to Mayor Ogg
and the city commission that it would
be a very fine idea for the city to is
sue a proclamation on the subject and
ask the people of Brunswick to aid in
the observance pf the day, which is
of vital importance to all of us.
Discussing the observance of the
ssday in esteemed Co-
Enquirer-Sun remarks:
Mhyor Coueb*ii3*. k fssued a sim
ilar pgroclamatibnp'eßliing the at
tention of the people of Columbus
to the importance of taking pre
cautions to prevenfc jires, and im
pressing upon them .the impor
tance of doing so. - “■
The week beginning October 9
will be known as “Fije Preven
tion Week,” during which time
the hope is that the fact will be
demonstrated that by proper care
and caution fires, for the most
part, may be prevented. It is said
that he average annual fire loss
is about 6300,001),000, which is
nearly $1,000,000 a day. During
the first eight months of the pres
ent year the losses on account of
fire have reached almost o $225,-
000,000, lyhich indicates a larger
total loss this year than usual.
Most fires can be prevented and
they should be. Carelessness is
responsible for the vast majority
of fires and a million a
day is a staggering sum to be pay
ing for carelessness, to say noth
ing of the inconvenience and
hardship it entails, even if there
be no loss of life.
Now, during this fire prevention
week it is hoped that everybody
will exercise care and caution in
order to prevent fires. It can be
done; there isn’t any doubt about
it, and it should be done; not
only should it be done that partic
ular week, but it should be done
every day of every week. There
ig no excuse for carelessness in a
matter that is of such great im
portance as this; where not only
the accumulations of a lifetime
may be swept away within a short
time, but where lives may be lost.
The person who is so careless
as to cause destructive fires is
nothlg short of being guilty of
criminal negligence. There may
be nc law to reach such a person,
but he is morally guilty.
So let us all be impressed with
the importance of exercising cau*|
tion to the end that fires may be
prevented; let us form the habit
of exercising this care, not only
for our own safety end protection,
but for the safety and protection
of others as well.
THE EFFICIENT WOMAN.
We hear a great deal nowadays
about the efficiency of women. In the
farrhal mucus from the intestinal tract
novels of fifty years /go, who ever
hoard a woman praised for her execu
tive ability, force and energy, in the
sense thut it is used teday? The frail,
delicate, helpless ideal of womanhood
has passed away. How is it possible
to measure up to the ideals of mod
era womanhood? In the first place.
w\* must kr p our bodies in the best
pnjl sible condition.
