EARNS for Children.

Perhaps the smallest farms in the
world, each four by eight feet, have
been devised by Mrs. Henry Parsons
for the International Children's School
Farm league, and demonstrated in
New York. Each child becomes owner
of his diminutive farm, in which he
works, grows and harvests seven diff
ferent kinds of. vegetables, and these
are borne by him in triumph to his
family About each farm is an 1S-inch
path, which he keeps in order; under
his instructor it becomes a tiny OBJ
ject lesson in good roads

School Display at BiaaerS

The Biggers public school is
carrying out new plan for adver-
tising the work of its pupils. Last
Thursday the teachers gave their
second annual display of the work
of their pupils. A large number of
the patrons and friends of the school
were present during the day.
All the written work of the pupils
is saved by the teachers. On dis
play day all this work is put on ex.
hibition IN the chapel, without ever
having been corrected or graded by
the teachers. Their purpose In this
is to stimulate the child to greater
pains in his work. No papers are
left out for this display is an ex-
hibltion of each child's real work.
What he has done, and the way it
has been done is there to be seen
by his parents and friends, and
naturally, he will try to do better.
The writer had the opportunity
of seeing most of the work on dis
play, and It certainly does credit to
the energy and efforts of the teach
ers. The faculty, composed of
Prof. Williamson, Miss Meeks,
Mrs. Byard and Mrs. Stubblefeld,
is to be congratulated upon the
success of the undertaking.
The upper grades prepare papers
on history, mathematics, etc. while
the smaller folks write little
sketches and illustrate them with
drawings and clipped pictures. The
tiny tots showed match scratchers
and calenders.

GOOD PROGRAM BY
MAYNARD ACADEMY

Inc program, rendered by the
Societies Saturday evening was well
attended, and all present spent a
most enjoyable evening. The pro-
gram was opened with PRAYER by
Mr.. Poynor, after which Prot.
Downs delivered the welcome ad
dress. His words were well chosen,
and his talk was instructive as well
as entertaining, and all Oh the pro-
gram did credit to themselves and
to the Societies, which they repre-.
sented. The musical features rem
dered by the quartet and Miss Viii.
son, deserve special mention also.
The play, "Ihe Old Dairy Home
stead, was one of the best ever
rendered here. Every character IN
this play starred" and seemed to
do what every good actor should do,
namely; put their whole soul into
their work. 1t was one af the most
comical plays ever given here, and
the repeated applause of the large
audience were evidences that not a
dull moment was spent from begin
ming To end, and, no doubt, the
laughs alone were well worth the
price.
We are proud of the two Socie-
ties and their work, and hope to be
able again 10 acquit ourselves as
mobly as we did on last Saturday
night.
The program given by the public
school IN the Academy building

From Fayetteville
Dear Old Reliable:

Dear Old Reliable:
Your smiling pages are a long
time getting here some weeks.
You don't know how interesting
your correspondents are. We like
to see so many places represented.
Would you be angry if we were to
suggest that your clippers cut those
hlg words up or out one? We
can't manage them in their present
form.
The cold weather is all the 90.
The biggest snow of the season in
now on. We are laying this big
snow to the credit of the corn club
men who are here with us at this
writing. They certainly got "cold
reception" on the snowy campus
but it is warm enough for them in
other places. The Randolph corn
club man Is here. The way Mr..
Carter is staying with his place and
the experience he is gaining coupled
with his already acquired fitness,
we can safely predict another win
ming year for old Randolph. Boys,
join the corn and cotton club, do
your best in cultivation, and the
native richness of the soil will aid
you in keeping Randolph county on
the map. Your leader, Mr.. Carter,
will do his part to aid you. We
are sure of your success.
That good road from Maynard to
Pocabontas is something much
needed. We sincerely hope it will
soon be reality and not talk. OF
course, talk must first lead us across
the chasm of inactivety. Fellow
citizens, I'm across, I'll give $75
provided the road is substantially
constructed. THIS amount is more
in proportion to ability than $500
from some men.
BY the way, on the last examina
tion, one girl from Pocahontas made
an E IN every subject but one and
that was (as l now remember) Z
minus. She had only 6 Els. This
was announced in chapel as one of
the best records to be found in the
recorders archives. Maynard has
one representative who will have
completed all his junior math work
in his Sophomore year. He was
one OF the five out of some forty
that passed all his math. 80 per
cent of this class either funked or
conditioned. "TnE BOYS"
