In answer to the letter which ap-

ing himself "A High School Player" /
wish to say a few things. There are
alwaye two sides TO a story. In the
frst place this High School Player"
said that Belmont venue had an in
structor and Eighteenth Avenue did
not. This ia not the truth, az a certain
Mr.. winters has been coaching Eigh-
,teenth Avenue ever since their first de-
6eat at the hands OF the Belmont Ave-
nue. boys. In the second place this So
called High School Player" says that
our Instructor. Horace Butterworth. has
taken the time to play basketball when
we were supposed to be dong exercises.
Our principal. MIR. Gleason. would not
allow Mr.. Butterworth to do anything
of the sort, as the High School Play
ar" well knows. When we go down to
) the gym" to have some exercise. we
have exercise and absolutely nothing
else.
Thirdly, this fellow has said that If
the Eighteenth Avenue fellows could
get an Instructor for a couple of d VS.
he would wager that they would win.
Since this fellow is a High School
Player and pretends to know so much
why not let him coach the Eighteenth
Avenue team.
/ have spoken to the Belmont Avenue
boys and they say that each and every
one Of them is willing to back the
team.
Now let this fellow or anybody else
coach the Eighteenth Avenue team, and
let this fellow put up the amount he
wants to bet, and 1t will be covered.
right off the reel. All he has to do is
20 notify the Belmont Avenue boys.

MEET DEC. 9
CONVENTION is TO CONVENE At
WARDVILLE NEXT SATURDAY
AND ALL ARE URGED TO BE
PRESENT.

The meetings of the teachers of the
county, state and national in conven-
ton, is of far greater Importance to
the average citizen than he may think
1t is true that there are teachers
that may attend that have no other
motive in view, than possibly to have
as they may term it a good time and
an outing. This is only an exception
tC the rule, as there are very few
persons that have chosen the avoca-
ton as teacher, that would enjoy the
addresses, discussions and arguments
of an educational meeting, if they did
not have some personal interest in it
besides enjoyment. or pleasure stand
point. The same motive that prompts
the pupil to acquire a more Thorough
and practical application of education,
with the requirements and duties of
life, impells the teacher to seek for
the experience and views of others so
as to enlarge upon their own ex-
periences and observations.
These county meetings should be
attended to more by the patrons OF
the schools and citizens interested in
the upbuilding of the citizens of the
county and community. The presence
of the patrons from different sections
of the county would lend more zeal
and interest in the school room. than
We could calculate, for it would give
our teachers support and endorse
.nent that your petition and recon-
D1endation could never express, and
your influence would be brought home
with the teacher and put to work in
the Improvement of their school
duties.
OF course we will muster I'D ex-
cuses for our failure to encourage
these meetings by not cooperating
but really there are no excuses that
would prevent each community from
having several go from same as dele
would add to the community interest
. in the school work. A little leaven
! leaveneth the whole.
The teachers meeting to be held at
WardV1lle on the ninth of this month
promises to be one of the most in
teresting meetings that was ever held
in the county by the teachers. The
ton of Wardville and surrounding
community are taking means success
Now the geographical location of
Wardville is not known by every citi-
zen in the county, and for their in
formation we would say that as far
Is the boundaries between It. Bratts
and Walnut Hill or Oak Grove we
suppose is governed by the limit of the
school bounds of each, but the exact
location of the meeting is about three
miles south south of east from Atnore,
Ala It is one Of the most advanced
and independent farming districts in
the county. The lands are level and
underlaid with a stiff red clay subsoil.
The loan on the surface under ordi-
nary cultivation is very productive, as
can be shown in the cribs and smoke
houses. and the citizens of this sec
ton are realizing the necessity of a
more thorough and progressive farm
ing methods. This section of our
county has TO be visited before any
one could form an estimate of what
Escambia county is, and from the in
creased demands for school facilities
. and advantages, We will see by visit

through the section one farm
separated from the other only by
fences, and each farm shows that
spirit of independence that only can
exist in farm life.
The citizens of the community will
meet all those attending the meeting
at Atmore with teams and convey
them to the school and after the adj
journment deliver them back to the
railroad.
Dinner will be served on the grounds
and a dinner at any place in the upper
end of the county means pleased re-
suits.
The railroad no doubt will give
party trip tickets at low rate round
passage, so now if you rake up an eX-
cuse for not attending, We hope that
you will submit them in writing to
the meeting, and we are sure that 1t
will afford the meeting pleasure to
offer a resolution of sympathy, and
this would particularly apply to every
teacher and those interested in the
educational work of our county. Let
every one that can attend, as all are
invited, and as we have predicted at

SCOUTS HAVE
JOLLY TIME
At BAYVIEW
TWENTY TWO OF THEM MADE
THE TRIP, LEAVING THE Y. M.
c. A. AT $50 O'CLOCK IN THE
FORENOON.

One of the most successful trips
that. the boy scouts have made was
taken yesterday. a party of twenty
boys led by Scout Master Williams
and Patrol Leaders Bancroft and
Semmes left the Y. NJ. c. A at $3.50
clock for Bayyiew Park. where they
were to enjoy a day of pleasure. The
scouts made a fast walk of it and
soon arrived at the park. The first
thing on the program was a game of
White Man and Indian in which the
Indians were victors, followed by
some pictures taken by MeSsrs. Nc
Dowell and Cottrell. AS it was then
nearly IL o'clock, the boys returned to
the camping grounds and prepared
their dinner, which was brought I'M
cooked, each fellow cooking his own
food. After dinner another game of
white Man and Indian" was played.
There was some division of the crowd
as to whether they should engage in
boat races, but a scout sighted
launch in the distance. The boat races
were forgotten in their desire to ride
Miss Jennings was kind enough to
take the crowd, and a jolly bunch of
sailors they made. Two of the scouts
were left behind, but, not to be out
done, they too took a boat. and cross
camp site. Another party of scouts
were discovered by these who were
also putting their art TO good advan-
tage. 4 race then ensued for the boat
and one of the fellows came to a mis-
happy by begging up TO his waist in
mud. The rest of the party came to
his aid and proved themselves good
wash women in getting him pre-
sentable to come into town.
Although the scouts were "out in
the wild" they could not leave behind
them the fever that possesses every
American boy-the craving for foot
ball. A pigskin had been carried with
them and after returning TO camp they
devoted themselves to the game for

1t again becomes my pleasant duty

ArbOr Day is the use and value of the
tree in the life of the nation. It
should, therefore, be the aim of the
teacher SO to observe the day as to
convey this lesson clearly and i'm
pressively
Civilization and education develop
finer sentiments toward the beautiful
in nature and art. The same intel
ligence that demands cleaner and more
healthful homes and cities demands
also more beautiful homes and cities.
The most beautiful and the most per-
r2anent adornment for yards, streets,
school grounds and parks are good
shade trees. They add to the health,
the comfort and the beauty Of any
community. They also attract and
keep close to us the best of our wild
song birds. 1t is very proper. there
fore, that special days should be set
aside for the planting of trees, and
the holding of such exercises as shall
arouse in our children a sound and in
teligent appreciation of the beauty and
value Of our birds and trees
