EXERCISES AT
HIGH SCHOOL
Colonial Pageant Is Present.
sd--Characters Well Taken.

The Thanksgiving program of ex-
ercises at the high school this after
noon was one of the most successful
and pleasing ever given by any senior
class. The whole of the last period
was reserved for the exercises, but
owing to such an elaborate program
at least fifteen minutes more was
required to complete it.
A pageant of a colonial character
divided into two scenes was present.
ed. TO picture witchcraft as it ex-
isted in 1892 at Salem village was
the ideal motive of both scenes. The
first which was rather humorous at
times, was devoted mainly to the
school room in the village school
house. Miss Lenore Henderson clev-
erly impersonated the teacher or old
dame as she was better known. The
spelling class pupils were as follows:
Misse Katherine O'Brien, Polly"
Helen Runyon, Phyllis" Caroline
Dixon, Priscilla" Myra Elmore,
Virginia." and Richard Pickersgill,
Roger"
The reading class pupils were:
Miss Angie Hagar, Faith" Moss
Dorothy Hanson, Hope" Nathan
Goldberger, Peter" The Pilgrims
chorus was well received in this
scene. Miss Angie Hagar impersonat-
ing Faith entertained by a recita-
tion appropriate to the occasion.
Anther feature which delighted the
audience were the mandolin solos
performed by Miss Dorothy Hanson.
AT the close of this scene, Miss Alma
Parsons charmingly sang the charity
song which received much applause
Between the preceding and the fol-
lowing scene, appropriate songs were
sung from the school song book by
the assembled students.
The second scene which was titled,
"Witchcraft," was very typical of
those days in which it was believed
in. The characters were as follows:
Witch" Miss Minnie Goldsmith;
parish minister" Harry Schnitzer;
Cotton Mather," Oscar Leu; "sher-
ifr,' Miles Browning; Judge, Howard
Lyon; "Goodie Isborn, Miss Elsie
Bernard. The following played the
part of the village people: Misses
Clara Martin, Sylvia Leon, Dorothy
Greenbaum, Helen Banzyk. Mary
Lewis, Rae Jacobsen, and Miss Ma
rie Brown, who delivered thep ro-
logue.
The committee appointed for car
rying on the exercises are as follows:
Misses Jennie Kramer, Clementine
Smith, Marie Brown and Voorhees,

SELLING LOOT
To DETECTIVE
Boy Thieves Surprised When
They Are Locked Up.

Following a vain effort to sell
stolen goods to Detective Sergeant
HUFF, John Betsky, eleven years old,
OF 800 Elizabeth street, and John
Larson, sixteen years old, OF 399
Park avenue, were surprised to find
themselves in the clutches of the po-
lice. They cried and pleaded with
the officer to let them go and each
blamed the other for the theft. They
are in Jail awaiting arraignment be-
fore County Judge DAILY, to be sent
to the State Home for Boys at James
burg.
The boys tried to sell lamp chin
|neys to Detective Huff for five cents
apiece. They are accused of steal
ing them from the store of Simon
Baum at 289 Fayette street. When
the officer espied the lads on New
Brunswick avenue, each carried
about half a dozen lamp chimneys.
They were trying to sell some to a
stranger for five cents each. AS the
detective walked near he pulled his
hat partially over his eyes and
queried, How much do you want
for them?" The lads replied in
unison, "five cents With that
they were arrested.
The arrest led one boy to squeal
the police learned each had planned
other petty robberies for last night.
Among the proposed Jobs was to
have been a theft Of chickens from a
coop in certain back yard.

CHANGES IN A. 4 NIL
COLLEGE FACULTY
Short Sketches Of Several New Men
Who Have Come to Take Places
in This Great Institution.

The most notable change in the fac
ulty of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College for the present year az
fects the department of architecture.
Prof. F. f. Gieihcke, head OF the de-
partment, resigned last spring to &C
cept similar position with the Uni.
versity OF Texas. and Prof. s. J. Foun-
tain has been elected to succeed him.
Prof. Fountain takes up the work
we'll prepared both from study land
practical experience. He graduated
from A. g. NJ. College in 1901 with' the
degree Of civil engineer after which
he was associated with architects in,
\ Austin and Houston. In 1908 ne
served as city architect Of Manila,
Philippine Islands, under appointment
from the federal government. Inj1905,
after a years study at the University
of Illinois. he received the degree OF
bachelor of science in architecture.
He then pursued his studies further
at the EcOle des Beaux-Arts, the
French national school of fine arts,
LOCATED at Paris. Entrance was
through competitive examination with
sixty to be chosen out OF more than
thousand applicants at the time
from all parts OF the world. Mr.. Foun-
tain ranked first among the foreign
students applying for admission, and
third among all competitors. After
two years OF special study in this in
stitution, he returned to America and
entered actively into the practice OF
his profession, opening up an office
In Cleveland, Ohio.
St Paul's Methodist church OF
Houston, the largest church in the
city at the time II was erected; the
woman's building of the Bryan Baptist
Academy in this city; the First Chris
tian church OF Canton, Ohio, the
largest church building OF that de-
nomination; and the Mckinley Memo
rial church In Canton, Ohio. are
among the more important structures
built from plans designed by Prof
Fountain.
He is son OF Dr. G. p. Fountain,

THE CITY, SCHOOLS

We have only had one week OF
school, but the enrolment of pupils
in the white schools is already over
five hundred.
Miss Sunshine Cole, who resigned
recently on account of ill-health, has
worked faithfully in the schools for
| Ave years past and has made a very
fine record till her health failed. AL
ways quiet, always self-possessed, she
has helped many little one who was
on the point of failure to get on his
feet and pass his work. She was so
quiet and unassuming that many per
sons never knew her strength as a
teacher and hardly realized the un-
usual record she made for herself.
To succeed Miss Cole the trustees
selected Miss Lucy Christian and she
is now at work in the room vacated
by her predecessor. Just a few short
years ago Miss Christian was a pupil
in our city schools and We are hoping
to see her record as teacher as good
as was her record as pupil.
The trustees of the Bryan schools
took a very wise progressive step last
spring in deciding that hereafter all
new teachers should have first grade
certificates, or higher, and that teacS-
ers already in the schools might have
limited time to secure the same
kind OF credentials.
But there is yet more needed. Pro-
fessional training has been urged and
pretty soon it should be required. A
man would not live in a dug out"
because the one he wanted to have
the job could not build a better house
for him. He would get somebody who
could build the kind of a house he
wanted. aud let the man who could not
build 1t do something else. That kind
Of thing has come to the schools of
many of the best systems, and in due
llluC IL ulubt ltdSh iCAao tOO. w ny
can't BRYAN he first and lead the grand
march in Texas? Our progressive
trustees having taken steps in that
direction, we are hopeful for the fu-
ture.
Commissioner Kendall OF New Jer.
sey says: "a high degree OF scholar
ship, well balanced study of educa.
ton, and a sufficient and PROLONGED
practice teaching under highly skillful
critic teachers, these are the condi
tions which make for effective train
ing and for subsequent educational
efficiency" Commissioner Kendall
knows what it takes to make good
schools and that the beginning place
is with the teachers. Kendall is the
man Governor Woodrow Wilson
BROUGHT from the Indianapolis city
schools to New Jersey to take charge
of the schools of that state.
You see now why the Bryan suDer.
lntendent is so anxious for high schol-
arship and professional training in
teachers and why 1t is urged so per
sistently. II will be great thing for
the schools when 1t becomes re-

who did not add to their scholarship
a course Of professional study were
bound to be poor teachers, no matter
how much noise they made. You
know that kind make a noise like
boy at a country debating society and
dispense about as much wisdom.
Just what public schools stand for
can be well expressed by the follow
ing quotation from President Hibben
OF Princeton University:
mo pedantry in scholarship.
mo affectation in manners.
mo hypocrisy in morals.
mo. discrimination in friendship.
mo cant in religion"
The following pupils who were grad
uated from the Bryan High School,
May 81, 1912, will attend school the
coming year as indicated:
Miss Ida Wipprecht, University Of
Texas.
Miss Evelyn Sanders, Baylor Uni
versity.
Mr.. Irl Sanders. A. & NJ. College.
Miss Robbie Nicol, Sam Houston
Normal Institute.
Miss Sadie Elliott, Sam Houston
Normal Institute.
The Bryan city teachers institute
held just one week ago represented
the attempt to place the teaching of
the schools on a higher plane, and
was, perhaps, the highest grade OF
such work yet attempted in Texas. A
regular study of pedagogy does much,
both for those who have been trained
and for those who have not. In this
respect, as well as in others, Bryan
public schools are well to the front.
though much Yet remains to be done
before they reach the standard the
superintendent desires for the Bryan
schools.
