The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1911-06-21


superintendent F. E. Land was made
to the board of public school COM
mfssioners of Dawson at the last
meeting of that body:
The year which closed May 31st
shows some gratifying advances. The
enrolment was 354, with an average
attendance of 3O4.
In the colored schools there was
an enrolment of 334, with an aver
age attendance of 1876 for the
year.
The largest class in the history of
your schools, twenty in numbers
girls and 7 boys-were graduated
from the high school. Upon investi-
cation l find that in proportion to
enrolment this is about the second
largest class in the state.
To me this is most gratifying, for,
as I have said to you before, one of
the most serious hindranCes to the
usefulness of the public schools is
the tendency of the students to quit
school before reaching the high
school department. 1t is estimated
that only about 33 per cent of the
pupils admitted to the public schools
ever reach the eighth grade, and
much smaller per cent of course that
complete the high school.
In a system like our, where there
is only one course open to a pupil, /
that looking to college education, !
the percentage is lower than would
be the case if we offered more practi- /
cal courses as an option for those
who do not expect to attend college. !
It is difficult to hold boy to the |
classical course when he feels all the
while that his needs demand some
thing more practical.
My recommendations therefore,
would be that you consider the ad-
Instability of broadening your high .
school course, adding another year
and putting in business department
and domestic science.
The time is coming, in my opinion,
when the high school will largely
take the place of the small college,
giving the boy or girl a foundation
that will fit them to enter any voca-
ton or profession You should, !
therefore, plan for high school that
will equip boy for life, even if he
never sees college.
1 am convinced that the medical !
inspection which has been tried in
our school for two years now and the
dental inspection ordered by the
board this year have resulted in great |
good to the children, and brought
the school up to a high standard of
efficiency. The attendance has been |
better this year than in previous |
years, and this may be attributed in |
part to the good health of the chill |
dren. l think that these inspections |
have served in measure to bring |
to the attention of parent and child |
the Importance of good health. Quite !
number of children have been
treated as result of the inspections |
medical and dental. In this |
connection I might say that the
books, Good Health" "Emergen-
Hes'' and Town and City," adopted
this year for the fourth, fifth and
sixth grades respectively, have prov
Ell most helpful and interesting to
the children, and have awakened |
thought upon the subject of hygiene,
and general conditions of
health in many of the homes.
I am not altogether satisfied with
some of the arithmetics now in use
in our schools, and possibly one of |
the spelling books might be exchang- |

PROGRAM
BEING ARRANGED
IN THE SENATE
Many Hearings Will Be Held.
Committees Preparing for
Business.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Senate
today began consideration of a tariff
program when the finance committee
which has before it the Canadian recip-
rocity bill, took up that measure and
discussed plans for hearings on 1t.
Members of the committee r dis
posed to give a generous amount of
time to those who desire to oppose or
advocate the measure before it is re-
ported to the open Senate, but no one
would venture a guess as to the ex-
tent of the committee hearing.
Many of the other newly appointed
committees were in session today. Con-
siderable business accumulated during
the committee fight.
The House continued consideration
of the free list bill. In the House this
really was the legislative day of April
20, that body on Saturday having taken
a recess so as to avoid having to take
up the recall calendar, the regular or
der for Monday.

HOTEL STOCKTON,
COAST LANDMARK,
FINALLY DOOMED
Cape Mays Great Historic Cara
vansary, Famous on the
Coast, TO Be Demolished.

CAPE MAY, May 1.-The famous
Stockton Hotel on the beach front,
built by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in 1869 at a cost then deemed
immense, of $500, 900, is about to be de-
molished. 1t has been the great land
mark of h South Atlantic coast, and
is full of interesting associations. The
hotel is a massive structure, built of
wood of Greek architecture, and Is
Of imposing appearance. 1t is sur
rounded by great pillars. reaching from
the broad piazzas to the roof. The
halls, dining-rooms and ballroom are
very large in size, and the many rooms
are spacious. ,
The Stockton for many years was the
social centre of the overcrowded cottage
colony at Cape May. 1t vas largely
patronized by Southern families, and
women who now are grandmothers
danced as young girls in it's great ball
room. Many national notabilities APP
peared at the Stockton everSAyear, and
in the height of the season the scene
at the great hotel in the evening was
full of life and commotion. There was
a refinement in the patronage of the
hotel that made it's greatest charm.
PrcstuentS were GueStS.
President Arthur was a guest there
in 1883, and President Harrison in 1892.
Men of national prominence have been
its guests each summer season, n the
wealthy of the nation have made it
their summer hoine
The hotel was sold by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad to Messrs. Kempton &
Patterson, n they disposed of it to
F. Theodore Walton, of Philadelphia,
who failed in 1894. The property was
then bought by John F. Betz, a Phila-
delphia brewer, with a penchant for
buying property and letting it go TO
decay. Betz carried out that policy
with the stockton until his death. The
hotel gradually deteriorated, the wood
decayed for lack of paint and the
patronage fell off. Different managers
had charge, prices were cheapened and
the hotel lost its character.
The site of the hotel is a splendid one,
and Upon the grounds attached half a
dozen large hotels might be built. 1t
is proposed to build a modern hotel and
cottages. The best patronage of Cape
May now goes to the splendid Hotel
Cape May, which stands close to the
ocean on land a mile up the coast that
six years ago was a noisome morass.
In the foyer of the hotel is a gigantic

John NJ. Lederer had a broad smile
today for everybody as he is busy re-

number Of years.
Mr.. Lederer takes possession of the
place today with the best wishes or his

A.. R. BEGINS
ANNUAL NATIONAL
CONGRESS TODAY
Historian General Pierson, of
Orange, Says Washington's
Birthday Most Observed.

LOUISVILLE. KY, May 1.-The
twenty-second national congress Of the
Sons of the American Revolution for
mally opened here today with descend
ants of revolutionary warriors here
from every State. The congress will he
in session through Wednesday. William
A. Marble, New York, president-gen-
eral, presided at the opening of the
congress and the delegates were well
coined by Mayor Head.
The report of Historian-General Da-
vid L. Pierson, Of Orange, N. j., was
in part as follows:
W~ashington's Day Most Observed.
ut would appear from the reports
received this year that the. day most
generally observed throughout the
country is the natal day of the i'm
mortal Washington. Truly the spirit
of patriotism was rife the 22d of Feb
ruary last, from Maine to California,
and in nearly every State in the Union.
"At the Washington headquarters,
Morristown, on this day, the exercises
were of a most dignified character, and
while not held directly under the aus
pieces of any of the State societies many
of the compatriots of New Jersey at
tended. DIR. Edwin A. Alderman, presi-
dent of the University of Virginia, was
the orator, n his message was most
heartily received. This is an annual
custom of the Washington Association,
which has been organized for the pur-
pose of retaining the building Identical
ly as it existed when Washington made

of 1779-17S0. 1t is we'll worth a visit
by any of the compatriots who are in
the vicinity of New York. and can be
reached within an hours travel. 1t
may not be out of order to state that
Morristown Chapter. Daughters of the
American Revolution, has taken up the
project of marking the route that
Washington took while on his way
from Princeton to find a camping place
for the winter 1776-1iH.
Paul Revere's Descendants Donate.
ut is also worthy of note to record
that direct descendants of Paul Re-
we're, the midnight rider at Lexington
and Concord. have given large sums of
money for the placing of an ornamental
base at the bottom of a Liberty pole
at Morristown, which will also be we'll
worth visiting when on>a pilgrimage to
this patriotic shrine.
AT the battle-ground of Springfield, in
New Jersey, which has, for some reason
unknown, been given an unimportant
place in the annals of the Revolutionary
war, a further tribute to the memory
of the patriots of that trying engage
ment of a century and a third ago, was
given on June %, 1910, the anniversary
of the battle, by the dedication of a
liberty pole, from which the Stars and
Stripes will now be displayed on many
of the anniversaries of battles and
patriotic holidays"
