TO PUSH BUILDING OF RED CROSS'HOUSES Sarvloe Work For Army C?mf? ?tlrtiMd In Conference At DWU , . , , #en Headquarter? A very Important conterense toueb? Fork of the American Re* ^ro*a the army can^gp of the SoutJ* ?rn DtTUion-^ffirTeld In Atlanta, a few days a#o. There were present a<* only Col. W. L. Peel, Division Manag er; C. B. Bid well, Associate Manager, 2. Bennett Phelps, Division Dlree t?r of the Bureau of Military RelleC W ?*^#r with a number of the Red Cross field Directors and Assistant Field Directors from the camps, boC also, W. Prank Persons, Director Qen ?jal q? Civilian Relief; Henry 8. Fox, Assistant Director 'of Camp Servicg in charge of construction. A number of important matters were discussed, among them being the personnel in the training camps, the ! building and manning of the Red Cross bouses for convalescents in the camps, and the appointment of directors tor those houses, Instructions regarding I hospital information service, and the relation of the Home Bervloe depar* I meat to the department of Military 1 Relief and the importance of Hotne I Bervloe to the men la the txataAng 1 samps and in the taenches, which fetter was taken up with the field di rectors by Mr. Persons. The volume of Home Servloe work to be done necessitates the appoint ment of an associate field director In eharge of home servloe who will work with the regular field director in the camp. There will also be a Home Ser vice director on every transport that carries American troops to-Franoe, so that every soldier who leaves tamflj or business worries behind may hare someone to whom to turn for help afid advice. The problem of keeping up the morale of the army by making them understand that their famlttas are well looked after while they are away as well as that of helping to maintain a normal standard of living in the families where the men are away belongs to the Home Servloe or Civilian Relief Department. "At _the time of tlio N&pottooto oampaigns," eaid Mr. Persons, 'It waa estimated that the morale of the army was more important than ammunition In the ratio of 3 to 1. In the present war,,one of the greatest English gen erals has estimated tbe ratio as 9 to 1. Home Service is more Important to the United States troops than to those of England and France, becau9e the French and English soldiers have*! two weeks* leav^ 'every 90 days, can return to their homes and look after their most pressing business affairs for themselves. But the American soldier who goes to France will prob ably stay in France until the end of the war, and it is only through fhe Home Service Department of the Red Cross that his mind can be relieved from all worry concerning affairs fci home so-that his entire attention-eftn be concentrated on soldiering." Many illustrations of the value ot Homo 6erv.ee in the training camps of this country were given by the Field Director^, and the duties of the men in charge of this branch of the work outlined. * /' Henry S. Thompson, national direc tor of the Bureau, of Camp Service, spoke on the" duties of the military field directors in the camps and their relation to The Home Service Directors" in the same camps. The ' building of the Red Cros? houses in 40 army camps in this coun try was then taken up by Charles E. Vrw| naawfnnf rHr*r?tr)|- pf Pamp G?i>. vice in charge of construction, and the purpose of these Houses wa,s explain ed to tlw^FHeld Etfreetoi%? and- assist ants who. were present Quarters and a plafce of amusement will be provided in these houfeea for ??cofawriestnMU 5oT~ die*? ?*?fce"ttru' wall enough la leave th? hospitals and yet not well enough to return to active duty, as well as ac commodations for tfce families of men, who are ill', enough -to-make^Tt neces [-?ftry-t<r~send for their relatives. It is being planned that a large part of the furniture for these houses shall be made' by the older boy* in the Junior Red Cross auxiliaries. The construction in the camp? of the Southern Division will be so pervlsed by John R. Dillon of Atlanta, of the firm of Morgan & Dilloh, archi^ tects, who hap volunteered his ser vices to the Southern division for any sort of architectural work.

PUBLIC SCHOOL XOTE8 A Weekly Column Devoted to the Interests of the Public School System of Franklin County. Contributed by Snpt E. L. Best 1. Every 6oard of trustees in each district in PniikliD county was rep resented in the meeting Saturday, M^rch 16th. In a roun .-table discus ?ion achool finances were discussed and various meanft of relieving the situation that now exists. It was de finitely decided that the schools ot Franklin county cannot be run on the same financial basis as heretofore More money is necessary not only to increase the efficiency of the schools, to place them on a higher plane, but to conserve the present standard, to retain what efficiency we now may have. There is ho business in Frank M??Hh.nrnnnl Ih ?, -r-h^ t|,.t l. now run on the same money basi&" that It was three years ago. This U true of the work of the merchant, tanker, professional men, manufact urers ana farmers. Neither can It be expected of the school authorities to run the schools on the game financial basis. It was therefore decided by tile school committeemen of the coun. ty that It ? as not a question of going forward or standing still In the school work but a question of going back ward. To relievo this situation the committeemen unanimously endorse^ a special county-wide tax of 30 cents and appointed a committee of one from each township to go before the Board of Education the first Monday in April to ask the members to give the people lit this county tho oppor tunity of voting on this question. This means that the Board will be asked to give the people of the county an op portunity of saying whether- or not they wish a county-wide tax of 30 cents on every hundred dollars valua tion of property for maintaining and making more efficient-me - public schools. Tills means that each dis trict in the county would have a spec ial school tax. The law provides that a district that already has a special school tax may reduce its levy to any amount not to exceed the. special county levy. As to whether such a district would levy any of the local or any part of It IS left entirely witn the local school committee of that district. This extra tax if voted would be used exclusively for reas onable increases of teachers' salaries and increasing the length of the school term. 2.
