worthy to control a system of schools.
The faculty IF the Roswell Public
I Schools will stand innocent of this
charge.
1t will take patience to establish a
system of complete thorough work
in our schools but we intend to attain
his standard. Nevertheless, the pres
lent thoroughness Of our schools is a.
bove an average of the city schools.
Many city superintendent and each
carry this important principle and,
as a result, many systems of city
schools are ~honeycombed with weak,
shoddy work and promote from grade
to grade many pupils unable to do
the work in order to gain the good
will of misguided parents. We do
not do this kind of work in the Ros-
well City Schools.
The teachers will hold the first OF
their regular monthly city Teachers
o'clock at Central building. An inter-
esting program will be carried out.
All citizens interested in educational
work are cordially invited to attend.
On Wednesday afternoon at four
O'Clock, the primary teachers held the
first grade meeting. The teachers dis
cussed their work, the problems and
difficulties that they have and how
to meet them in a practical way. The
meeting was verv interesting and
helpful.
On Thursday afternoon at 4:3O the
teachers of the grammar grades had
their grade meeting. They discussed
methods, their monthly work and al
so talked v their difficulties. This
meeting was very interesting and of
great profit.
The High School teachers are hav-
ing their regular monthly meeting in
the superintendent's office this after
noon.
The teachers of the Roswell Public
schools without an exception are put
ting all the time and energy into their
school work. 1 have never known a
more self-sacrificing set of teachers,
teachers more willing and ready to
extra work thar these teachers.
Many of them are found in their
rooms an hour before school and
many remain an hour after school do
ing school work. This is what tests
real worth of a teacher.
The Board of Education has pur-
a set of the. International En-
for Central School and
they had made arrangements for an
encyclopedia for North Hill School.
The Board, as it's finances will ena-

.SWARTHMORE MAY

Jeane'S Request

Alumni and alumnae Of Swarthmore
College are said to be earnestly dis
cussing a new plan whereby that in
stitution may accept the bsquest Of
Anna T. Jeanes by complying in every
particular with the terms Of her will.
According to rumor, it is now pro-
posed TO change Swarthmore into an
institution for the education of women.
The exclusion Of men, II is contended,
win pave the way for the acceptance
OF the bequest. in that the necessity
for abandoning intercollegiate athlet-
les. as demanded by the terms Of Miss
Jeanes' viii, would not arise. it being
taken for granted that a girl student
body would not desire to enter into
such contests. With the male student
body eliminated there would be no one
to consult except the board of direc-
tors. for the problem confronting the
school as a coeducational institution
would disappear.

All that prevents the sanitarium

the admittance Of free patients alto
