out at Tatums in school district No.
80 including twenty section of land
not white man lives. The town IS
controlled by the coloroi folk, they
have their mayor and their other city
officials and their school Officers. The
schlol board employed w II. Lewis
and his wife to teach the schools.
Lewis is graduate of the Fiske
University at Nashville, Tenn, and
his wife Is graduate OF school In
st. Louis where she took Il course IN
domestic training The morning hours
are devoted to teaching in the primary
grades by the woman and in the lt-
tcrnoon she teaches the children how
to cook. make preserves. clean house
and sew.
Mrs. Nitlack has returned from
there and she vas dolighted with the
work the school is doing. She
brought with her samples OF Citro0
and peaches that had been preserved
by the classes in domestic science.
Samples of cooking were also given
hor. An Irish potato pie. different
kinds of cake and samples Of fruit were
brought back by the county superln-
tendent.
The samples of sewing that the girls
in that school are showing Is truly
remarkable They are taught TO
match stripes. patch. darn, make but
ton holos, crotchet, hem stitch, feath-
er stitch and to do do7oN other
things with the needle. Tne 1atums
children are certainly getting the
kind OF education they demand. the
old idea that scnool training shall
consist OF examining the head with a
little knowledge of arithmetic belongs
to the past and the age IL here when
the school room Is place where chill
dren are taught to do something with
their hands as well as taught correct
thinking and correct living. The Ia
tums people are certainly fortunate in
securing this man and woman to take
charge of their schools.
