there faced the committee In the
question of adequate housing and
equipment facilities, alone, besides
the recommendation* concerning
the same, a problem that *>* * n
Itself of vast magnitude. Nothin*

went earnestly to work and with
commendable thoroughness search
ed Into every detail intimately or
remotely connected with the mo

and county.
For the school year 1921 -22 It
was found that there was an aver

the school*. Figure* are presented
showing that "Augusta's school
building program has not kept pace
with the growth In population,"
and that "many of tho schools have
become so overcrowded that good
teaching la Impossible and that tho
health of the children Is endanger
ed."
Side lights on various questions
concerning tho schools of tho city
and county are obtained from n
careful reading of tho printed re
port that are highly entertaining,
especially to parents and others
who are deeply Interested In the
matter of schooling for the child
ren. It Is not at all lnapropos that
tho following resume of outstand
ing observations In the committee
report be given. However, this
story Is not carrying, for obvious
reason, near ao complete a detail of
tho subject ns Is to be had In the
printed report of the Augusta Sur
vey, copies of which are obtainable
from any member of tho Klwanl*
Club, from the Chamber of Com
merce, or from B. B. Reed, execu
tive secretory of the Augusta
Council of Social Agencies. Those
side lights contain much of the
"milk In the cocoanut" of Rich
mond County's school problems.
ONE-STORY TYPE OF
SCHOOL BUILDING
A type of school building that 1*
rapidly coming to take the plnco of
types that have been in use for, 10,
these many generations Is the one
story type. In such a building
there 1* reduced to a minimum (lie
fire menace that has exacted In
years past such an awful and
tragic tidl of death. Besides the
reduction to a minimum of the fire
hazard, the modern one-story type
of building carries such advan
tages ns "Icsß noise, less danger of
physical Injury to children, more
convenient" In mnnlfohl ways.
"More then one half of the ele
mentary schools for children have
eight room* or less," reads the re
port. and “It Is of the utmost Im
portance thnt larger elementary
school plants be provided" If child
ren are to Ire graded and classified
In terms of tlielr ability to "move
through the elementary school." It
has been found possible, according
to the report. In the larger elemen
tary schools to Classify children In
such nmnenr a* to provide for
semi-annual promotion*, and "In
the three largest elementary
schools a considerable advantage
lias been gained for the children by
organizing them In groups accord
ing lo the rate with which they
can cover the course* provided.”
In so far as It Is possible "these
advantage* should lie gained for
all, children by building fewer and
larger elementary school houses,"
comment* the report.
Attention I* called to a need of
(ho schools being “play space."
Several of the schools of the city
ara sadly deficient In this respect,
and this carries an attenant dan
ger to the echool children In many
ways, who are forced to use other
than regular aehool grounds for
their ploying and recreation.
POTENTIAL FIRE
MENACE STARTLING
I’otential fire menace Is called
attention to as existing In several
of the achoola of the city, notice
ably the Davidson, the 1111 l aehool,
the Centrnl Grammar aehool. It 1*
pointed out that these schools
“would burn very rapidly If fire
should onre start," and "all child
ren would have difficulty In making
their exit, even though fire escapes
are provided and fire drills are fre
quently held." Another startling
statement embodied In tho report,
Is that "the fire escnt>e* which have
been attached to these biilldlncs
may not offer safe passage because
they run past windows which are
not provided with flre-realstlng
glass." Then, the stairways In
several of the school buildings are
of such typo as would be readily
Inflammable and rapid-burning,
and children "passing down these
stalrwnys tn a time of danger aro
led directly Into the main corri
dors, frequently at the points of
greatest danger " Another menace

Improper hoatlng and ventilation of
rooms and buildings.
The report of the Augusta Survey
committee on education contains
the following pertinent statement
In regurd to heating and ventila
tion:
"Augusta has experimented with
indirect heating In two of tin:
nchool buildings. This system has
puroved unsatisfactory, and In both
cases direct heating hns been sub
stituted. In some of the buildings
stoves are found In each of the
class rooms. In one building the
principal reported that In cold
weather an oil heater was placed
In each class room In order to give
adequate heat. In the future, It Is
recommended that direct hent ho
supplied throughout tho building
front a central steam heating plant,
uml thnt the class rooms be venti
lated through tho windows.”
SANITARY AND DRINKING
FACILITIES INADEQUATE
The toilets In most of tho Au-
I gusta school buildings are declared
I to be "poorly constructed and un
sanitary." It Is recommended that
“no toilets should he placed In
basements." and, In each case,
"they should be flooded with light,
equipped with modern fixtures, nnd
furnished with floors and walls of
non-absorbent material."
"An inadequate number of drink
ing fountains are provided within
the buildings," according to the
eommttote's report. This does not
obtain on the playgrounds, how
ever. nnd here It was found that
drinking fountains had been In
stalled that serve the purpose quite
adequately.
As a further emphasis of the
matters of boat, ventilation, toilets,
and drinking fountains, as regards
the physical well being of the
child the report deals with the
questions of standardized class
rooms In the matter of proper size
and lighting, this phase applying
also to school auditoriums ns well
as class rooips. The vnlue of a
school library 1* not un-noted, and
comment Is made that, "with tho
exception of the Tubman High
school, which hns an excellent li
brary, very meagre facilities are
provided In the Augusta school* for
the use of books and periodical* by
children. Every modern school
should have n space devoted to
library purposes.”
Important auxiliary activities in
the various schools are shown to
be; the kindergartens, school kit
chens, tewing rooms, and school
shops. To this list nmy also be
added the night schools maintained
by the Board of Education, three
for white illiterates and two for
negro Illiterates among the adult
populations of the two races. Large
number* of grown men and women,
both colored nnd white, are taught
to read and write in the night
schools nnd are thus given a sturt
on their way to self Improvement,
save the report.
RECOMMENDED NEW
SITE FOR ACADEMY
Among the several recommenda
tions given emphasis by the Com
mittee on Education was one thnt,
because of the recent successful
outcome of the school bond elec
tion. hid* fair to he carried out at
an early date. This recommenda
tion had to do with the Academy of
Richmond County and was ns fol
lo\f»: "The Richmond Academy
should he moved to a new site and
accomodated In a new building as
soon a* the site can he acquired
and the building erected."
Concerning other school* In the
city the committee report carried
the following comments:
"Houghton school—This building
Is rated ns one of the best elemen
tary school buildings In the city."
"Central school—This building
should be abandoned for school
purposes as soon as possible. It

"Davidson School —This building
is Inadequate In practically every
particular. . . . the present David

and the space thus provided used
as a play ground for the children

"D'Antlgnao School—This site

quate play space.”
"Sibley nnd King Mill schools—
It Is recommended that these
schools be abandoned as soon as
new buildings are available.”
"Hill School —The present struc
tures on the site have little to re
commend them. A new building
should he built upon an enlarged
site for the children of this region."
COMMENTS ON THE
COLORED SCHOOLS
The comments and recommenda
tions concerning the colored
schools of the city and county are
about along In line with those for
the white schools, though not to
such extent or detail. However,
the ground Is pretty thoroughly
covered, nnd undoubtedly the print
ed report of the school situation at
large In the city and county Is one
that should be In the hands of
every man and woman In the com
munity. The question of education
thougli being entertnlned by the
people at large to a greater extent
thnn has perhaps obtained before
In the history of the country, Is yet
one In Its Infancy and one In which
there Is ample room for Improve
ment. It Is. perhaps, not so force
fully given thought by the average
person, but If the question Is con
sidered with the concentration It
really deserves there will be a
spacious awakening even though
"Augusta has enjoyed the reputa
tion of having the most progres
sive school system In Georgia."

WASHINGTON, —A memorial to

of the department over which he
presided. Just what form It will
take has not been decided but as
Secretary Wallace fondly looked
forward to the time when he could
give hie time to the promotion of
better living conditions on tho

professorship or scholarship at
some agricultural college has met
with favor. A committee haa been
named to consider the question.
Suggestions for the planting of a
memorial tree in the department
grounds and the placing of a
brouts tablet In the department's
building have been suggested and
probobly will be carried out.

Explorations at Antioch
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The an
cient city of Antioch, In Syria,
which already has yielded rich
treasures of antiquity. Is the scene
of explorations which have Just
disclosed an early church on a site
where Raul and Barnabas are be
'lieved to have preached.
A bulletin from the Washington,
D. C„ headquarters of the National
Geographic Society, based on a
communication by William H. Hall,
says:
"For a thousand years Antioch
was the capital city that ruled the
industries, trade, nnd commerce of
the Euphrates and Tigris valleys.
And now the turn of fortune's wheel
has again directed the stream of
trade past her doors.
"She has become the natural out
let for the wealth of cotton, corn,
and dates produced in the Valley
of -Mesopotamia.
A DRAMATIC
INVASION
"In the (lays of Hs glory the peo
ple of Antioch were gathered in the
great theater listening to a famous
actress while the I’ersians were be
sieging the city.. They trusted to
their splendid fortifications and
feared naught. At a point in the
play the actress paused, while, with
arm outstretched toward the moun
tain above the city, she exclaimed,
‘Behold, the Persians are come.'
There was great applause, the au
dience thinking It a fine bit of
stage play; but ns a showor of ar
rows darkened the sky, the people
turned to behold that Instead of
play It was reality. The enemy was
within the walls, and plunder and
destruction had already begun.
“When we read the story of Ben
Hur and follow him about the
street* of that splendid city, or en
ter with him the palaces of the
rich, or see Messnln gaming with
his friends tn the magnificent pal
ace on the island In the Arontes. or
watch with breathless Interest ns
the hero guides the -four fleet Arab
steeds through the maze of the
chariot race. Antioch sems a fabled
city of ancient times, living in story
only.
EAST AID WEST
STILL CONFLICT
'lt :s hard to come to reality and
think of American Fords and Ital
ian Flat* -ushing along the roads
where Ren llur guided his match
less Arab steeds, or of great motor
lorries trundling across the plain
where the long trains of camels
brought their caravans of riches
from the East. The hippodrome
where Ben Hur, the Jew. contest
ed with Mossala. the Roman, ts In
ruins, but the East and the West
are Just as surely In conflict today.
"According to the Roman reform
er and satirist, Juvenal, from An
tioch also, 'the waters of the Oron
tes overflowed Into the Tiber.' and
thence came superstltltlons and In
dulgence* and excesses that caused
the corruption of Rome. This may
he true, but also ft was 'in Antioch
that the disciples were first called
Christians.'

of Antioch was its great street. This
ran straight through the city from
east and west. At each end there
was an impressive gate. The east
ern gate was later known as the
'Gate of St. Paul.’ It was still stand
ing forty-five years ago, almost
complete; but now scan the
foundations have been removed for
buildings In the modern city. The
western, or Daphne Gate, was call
ed the ‘Gate -of the Cherubim,’ for
over the gate Titus placed the gold
en cherubim he had taken from the
temple in Jerusalem.
"These twu gates were about four
miles apart. Between them was a
grand boulevard.
A FIFTH AVENUE
OF THE ANCIENTS
"On each side of the street was a
double row of columns. The out
side aisle in each case was roof
ed over, furnishing a shady walk
In summer and a dry and sheltered
way during the winter storms. Be
tween the inner rows of columns
was a broad liigliway for chariots
and horsemen. It has been estimat
ed that if these columns were the
same distance from each other as
those still standing in the street of
Palmyra, there would have been 6,-
900 in all.
"Tips street was lined with mag
nificent public buildings, temples,
shrines and palaces of the nobles.
“Imagine, then, this grand high
way, with its long vista of granite,
marble, and porphyry columns, Its
covered promenade rich in statues
and carvings, its marble pave
ments. its beautiful Grecian archi
tecture, and. terminating all, the
golden decorations of the western
gate blazing in the light of the
setting sun.
"Fill this street with its busy
throngs of men and women. Here a
religious procession, the priests clad
in the many-colored vestments of
their office, the animal for sacrifice
decked with wreaths and gar
lands of flowers, and the company
of singers chanting the solemn pro
cessional; there a gay throng of
revelers in wedding procession, es
corting the bridal pair to the beau
tiful Nymphaeum, near the river
side a great circular, dome-covered
building, rich In columns and sta
tues. and with cool, splashing foun
tains, an institution with special
accommodations for the celebration
of nuptials; or. again , down the
great street there might come acme
victorious general, returning in
triumph from his foreign campaign
—slaves, soldiers, sovereigns, all
following his triumphal car. Thus
came the great Caesar himself,
while the city resounded again and
again to cries of loyalty and adora
tion.
•'Many other streets crossed the
Croat street, always at right an
gles, and at every Intersection
arches were erected, called 'tetrapy
ll.’
“About the middle of the city
another broad street, and colon
naded, extended from the river to
the mountain. In this street, near
the river .was located the Nym
phaeum, mentioned previously, and
where it crossed the great street
was created the 'Omphalos.’
“This altar was the center of the
city and was devised in imitation
of that at Delphi, which had been
erected by the ancient Greeks, sup
posing Delphi to be the center of
the world. Here was a sitting statue
of Appollo, the patron god of the
Seleuclde.
"Outside the eastern gate for a
distance of two miles King Herod
of the Jews built a continuation of
the great street.
“Herod's street also had a row
of columns and was paved with
marble. It traversed the portion of
the city known as Herod's suburb.
“From the western or Daphne
Gate, a great highway extended for
some six or eight miles through the
suburb of Heraclea to the noted
Grove of Daphne. This road skirted
the low foothill. At frequent inter
vals there were fountlans, and on
both sides were the magnificent
villas of the nobility of Antioch.”
