Few people realize-the value of good schools, hut the time has come when the training of the mind is being emphasized more than ever before. One wiser than us has said that probably no other agency of man’s creating has such far-reaching power for good in the community as good, live, up-to- date schools. The time has long since past when “just any old school ’ ’ will serve the purpose. In no age of the world has business competition ever been so keen and relentless as at present, and never before was it so imperative that unrymnrg^^eojd^-’^-hr-ains be train ed and developed to their full capacity. Nothing is truer today than that a city or community is known by the quality of its schools —for the school is a perfect barom eter for the community. A real, live, progressive school is never found in a dead com munity. As well expect mush rooms from a barren soil as to ex pect educational perfection'where none is expected or demanded. So, then, the really progressive school presupposes a like spirit in the communifv. Men of observation own responsibility, to Conquer an other nation, that nation would not have much to fear, would it? But if these same men went out together under efficient leader ship, they would he practically resis'tless. So it is with the community. A single individual, however earnest and ambitious in his de sires to advance the welfare of his community cap do little more than agitate. - An entire community of indivi duals prompted by the same de sire hut acting-^eaeh on his own initiative, and without regard to what the others were doing, will accomplish little more. But actuated by the same desire, and working collectively for the same purpose—ah, that is another story. Our town is entitled to the confi dence, loyalty and hearty support of everybody in the community. GOOD ADVICE IS A SCATHING ARRAIGFMENT OF CONDITIONS MADE BY MEXICO IS ALVARADO.

General Salvador Alva^ rado, one of the leaders in the Car ran/a movement throughout its course has addressed an open letter to Car ranza himself and Generals Obregon and Gonzales, in «which he arraign Mexico in scathini in conditions fashion. -Alvarado^, who atracted- afcentlo all the Pan-Americans for his admin istration in Yucatan estimates that the present daily death list in the scattered fighting between federal troops and rebels Is 100 a day. In Mexico City alone, he says, 8,000 chil dren die each year for want of propel food and clothing and shelter. Alvarado declares Mexico has pass ed from one extreme of an irrespon sible, obstructionist congress to the other. The full text of Alvarado’s remark able communication has just reached th^ state department where officials regard It as a sign that members of Carranza’s inner circle realize the danger.

WOMEN VOTERS OUST MEN WHO GAVE VOTE WILSON BRANDS OPPONENTS AS CONTEMPTIBLE QUITTERS Members ftf Atbrnts RemoerwGe !«>»- mittee Beaten at Polls Following Row Oter Fees. Atlanta, Sept. 3.—Members of the city Democratic executive committee which recently granted Atlanta wo men the privilege of voting in the Democratic white primary, appeared tonight to have been defeated to a man. and according to E. C. Buchanan, chairman, the result was due to fem inine rote. Members of the committee are elect ed in the primary at which city offi cials are nominated, and after grant ing the primary ballot to women, com mittee members became embroiled with suffrage leaders over disposal of and intelligence have this*in mind i the $3,766 registration fees the wo- when seeking a location for a home. Probably the two first questions asked by a home-seeker are, “What of your schools”? and “What of your churches”? The really desirable citizen K _with a family of boys or girls to rear, is always suspicious of the town without good school facilities. He is aware of the fact that absence of these facilities argues a lack of interest and progressiveness on the part of the people. So from a material point of view, the high- yr we build our schools, the strong er their drawing power in the ma terial things of life. We have said that the school is the barometer for the community. It is pre-eminently so from a stand point of morals. The old adage, “As the father, so the son,” is fast losing its force in this busy day. Instead we are tending to coin a counter adage, “As the son, so the father.” So that as we build up our schools year by year to a high er state of efficiency, they in turn are building up the individual 'A • members of the community, grad ually trimming off crudeness and coarseness, elevating the character and generally revitalizing the en tire body politic. Then what of our schools? Are they our first men paid. It had been decided by the committee that the money should be donated to charity, the committee re serving final decision as to what char- it>\ Some of the feminine leaders did not approve the committee's^ choice and announced their intention to beat chairman said tonight he was almost sure he had been defeated". Women can not vote in elections in Georgia and it was pointed out by friends of the committeemen that the present committee remains in control of primary affairs until January next, and might rescind its suffrage grant. Mr. Buchanan declines to say publicly whether this would’ be done. There was no mayoralty contest to day and a light vote was polled, only about 6,500 out of a total registration of 14,650 men and 776 women. News paper reports showed that a far great er percentage of women voted than men. Aldermen, councilmen and oth- r ' 'ir municipal officers were nominated in the primary, which normally is equivalent to election. ColiBeum. St. Louis.—In two ad dresses here President Wilson dis cussed at length disputed points of the peace treaty and invited those who oppose it to prove whether they "are not absolute, contemptible quit ters if they do not see the game through."
