ROUTINE workers whether in the
office or the factory perform
functions necessary to the com
munity, but their numbers are so
great that their remuneration is
small and their social importance
seldom recognized. The young man
who wishes to be something more
than a routine worker must train
hUnaelf for higher positions. There
are many subjects dealing with
business which it may be advan
tageous for him to study. One of the
most important of these is Ac
countancy.
I No one course of training gives so
I wide a knowledge of the major actl
j vities of business as Accountancy.
In addition. Accountancy affords a
training in rigid thinking and in
habits of accuracy and thoroughness
that are essential to business sue
! cess.
Moreover, the operation of every
department, however small, is based
on facts and figures which are sup
plied by the accounting department.
Management judges the success of
every department head by facts and
figures supplied by accounting. The
’ person who expects sometime to be
, i in charge of other people must be
' ; come accountancy minded and the
. i best way he can do this is through
I training in accounting.

After the business session Mrs.
R. A. Hogan our president, re*
ported on the Garden club school
which she attended June 14-16 in
Athens. A summary of her report
follows:
The fourth annual Garden
school opened on Wednesday
evening with a brilliant reception
at the home of Mrs. O. H. Arnold,
president of tbe Athens Garden
club.
The opening session was held
in the Pound Auditorium which
had been attractively decorated
by members of the Athens Club.
Magnolia blossoms, which are
so much a part of the picture of
Athens’ lovely old homes, were
used with pink gladioli and
hydrangeas on the stage. Dr,
Caldwell, president of the Uni
versity, gave the address of
welcome and thanked the Garden
Clubs of Georgia for their part
in making the Memorial Garden
a reality. Mrs. Reynolds Flour
noy, State Garden Club Presi
dent gave an inspirational talk
on gardens, describing them a
“silent partner that leads us to
God.” A scholarly lecture on
Bulbous Plants for the South
was given by Dr. H. H. Hume, of
the University of Florida.
“Fertilize your bulbs after they
bloom if you would have large
flowers from year to year” was a
practical thought from his
lecture. Mrs. Fae Huttenlocker,
associate editor of Better Homes
and Gardens was the last speaker
of the opening session and her
talk on table arrangements, ac
companied by colored slides, was
both inspirational and instruc
tive. She showed table arrange
ments with with flowers placed
at each end on at one end of tbe
table as an atrractive departure
from the prosaic center arrange*
ment. Luncheon followed in tbe
colledge dining hall. The tables
were attractive with garden
flowers arranged in widebrim*
med garden hats trimmed in
pink satin ribbon.
In the afternoon, your reporter
attended, the course devoted to
judgingof flowers. Dr. McHatton
and Mr. Roy Bowen gave lectures
on the principles of judging and
arranging the flower show. Dis
cussions followed each lecture
and questions were showed
pitilessly, upon the instructors-
A trip to the Memorial Garden
followed and it was a pleasure to
know that our club had a small
part in starting this fitting
memorial.

US PEOPLE
By G. C. Barnhill
Our nation is swapping some
cotton to another nation for
rubber, would’tit be fine if we
could swap surplus produce for
tax receipts. Looks as if we will
have to get some kind of a sub
sidy to prop the price of cotton
seed up. Unless profits show up
little better may find the tax
collectors getting on WPA.
CARD OF THANKS.
Through this medium we wish
to thank the people of this com
munity, for their kindness and
help during the illness and death
of our father. May God bless
each and every one is our prayer.

A second lecture by Dr. Hume
was the feature of the evening
meeting which followed a banquet
in the college dining hall. Dr.
Hume stressed the versatality of
Georgia’s resources and insisted
chat we plant more pines, azaleas,
and other native plants. His
lecture was illustrated with
colored lantern slides of flower
ing trees and shrubs both as
specimen plants and as a part of
landscape backgrounds. He spoke
of the care of trees and shrubs
and said that these women who
were eternally moving things
around in our yard could get
satisfying results by this method
provided —we know when we
were satisfied!
On Friday morning, we studied
with Dr. McHutton the selection
of exhibition material for a flower
show and Mn Bowden discussed
in detail the judging of such
flowers groups as Roses, Dahlias,
Perennials and Annuals. The
high spot of this morning session
was a second illustrated lecture
by Mrs. Huttenlocker on th®
judging of florial arrangements.
She discussed tbe characteristics
of each school of arrangement
and showed examples of each.
The general principles of ar
rangement were explained and
practical suggestions given.
This concluded the school with
the exception of the examination
on lecturesand general informa
tion regarding flowers which
was entirely optional.
The entire meeting was thoro
ughly enjoyed and it is hoped
that this very brief report will
interest others so much that our
club will be well represented
oext year.
Delicious punch and cookies
were served by the officers at
the close of tbe meeting.
