One session Plan

Atlanta, Ca, October, IA, 1910.
Mrs. T. L. Griner,
Fitzgerald, Ga.
My dear Mrs. Griner.
will not hesitate to say that
one session a day is much better
than two for the following reasons:
l. In severe weather the teacher
is saved the exposure of going to
school twice day instead of once.
2. The one session a day gives
the teacher and pupil an opportuni-
ty to rest their bodies and minds
after the intensity of the days la
Dor, and to prepare for the next
days work, without the compulsion
of late hours at nighr.
3. 1t affords the teacher little
opportunity for social visiting, a
condition which is essential to the
happiness of the human life.
A. 1t affords the teacher the OPP
portunity of visitiag the parents Of
the children, and exchanging views,
the result of which is better teach
ing and more cordial relations be-
tween the teacher and the parents.
5. 1t affords the teacher an op-
portunity for continued improve
ment and culture, the benefit of
which is received by the children.
6. Poor children have an oppor
tunity to do afternoon work which
greatly helps the parents in pur-
chasing clothing and shoes, and
otherwise contributing valuable as
sistance to the support of the family
7. The teachers and children can
easily carry a lunch to school to eat
at recess.
l regret that the unusual pressure
Of this office, in the organization of
the schools, has prevented an earlier
answer to your esteemed letter,
Very truly yours,

Supt. of schools

Masonic Temple
Grand Lodge Members Complain
Of Treatment Accorded
BY City.

Macon, Ca, October 27.-Before
the work of the grand lodge of Geor-
gia Masons was concluded at the
city auditorium this morning, re-
solution, introduced yesterday by
Judge A. W. Fite and tabled, which
provided for allowing other cities to
make bids for the new Masonic
temple, soon to built, was taken up
and warmly discussed, with the
result that time will be given for
offers from other points and a posi-
BILE chane is given in this move for
Macon to lose the home of the grand
lodge, despite the fact lhat costly
site has already been secured here.
Judge Fite, the author of the reso-
luton; Rev. Thomas Gibson, 7. j!
Patterson and others warmly sup
port the resolution, saying that Ma
con had made no effort, but, on the
other hand, projected fairs to coflict
with grand lodge meeting dates; had
all the railroads to require the dele
gates to buy fair tickets when they
bought transportation, and then pro-
vided insufficient hotel accommoda-
ton at the grand lodge sessions.
The subject reached ared-hot stage,
and finally brought a favorable
vote.
WILL DELAY ERECTION OF BUILDING.
This will mean the grand lodge
will not have a building in four
years. Plans have projected which
will afford a building to accommo-
date 5000 persons at a cost Of $3.50,
600. A large number Of the repre-
sentatives in the body had drawn
their pay and gone home when the
vote was taken.
Chairman j. G. Greenfield, of the
finance committee, in making his
report, expressed regret that such
was the case.
Past Grand Master Thomas jeff
ries, of Atlanta, was called upon
this morning to take charge of the
new year. This over, he presented
to Past Grand Master Henry Banks
a jewel, the token of the high esteem
in which the retiring head of the
body is held. Six hundred dollars a
month was set aside for TIE main
tenance Of the Georgia Masonic
home. The body adjourned at noon.
