tim MEETS
Address Of Miss Powell on Or
ganizing School Forces
Feature.

The Jackson County Teachers
Association held its largest and most
successful meeting at the courthouse
Saturday, there being large num-
Der of teachers from both county
and town schools present, also many
patrons and trustees.
The feature of the meeting was
an address by Miss Susie Y. Powell,
the substance of which was organ
ization of school forces, with definite
objects in view, viz: Neat and
clean schoolhouses, well equipped;
sanitation, school gardens, Libraries,
etc. Miss Powell gave instructions
for organizing the school forces, and
promised that organization of this
kind would receive plans and sug-
gestion for the work from various
sources in the State.
Miss Powell also made suggest
IONS for vitalizing the class work,
and showed how 1t could be con-
nected with the daily life of the
pupils, and the activities of the COM
munities.
The county teachers are planning
to accomplish more along the line OF
school Improvement that has been
done in any year before. The
patrons of the rural schools are to
meet at the schoohouses to give the
houses and grounds good cleaning,
and the teachers are to meet with
them to organize the local assocla-
| ton. With this early start, and
liberal aid from the interest-bearine
! school funds Of the county, the
teachers feel confident that the re-
port of school Improvement this veal
will be better than any made before
The association was organized by
electing S. P. Walker, Pascagoulal
president, and Miss Chloe Lockertl
Orange Grove, secretary. District
organizers for each beat will be ap-
pointed later.
The county schools will oper
Tuesday with bright prospects for
successful year.

AT THE WAKEFIELD.
THURSDAY NIGHT

Last Thursday night the Warfleld
Theatre open for the season with
the Eddie Black Co., in My Dixie
Girl" Owing to the threatening
weather the crowd was small on the
opening night. The cast was un-
usually strong and the play was
very realistic. Miss Claire and her
violin were especially enjoyed by all
lovers of music in the house. The
play while it had its many sad feat
ures kept the house in an uproar for
the entire time by the many laugh
able predicaments that developed.
FRIDAY NIGHT
Friday night the Eddie Black Co.,
presented "Our jim comedy
drama. AS in my Dixie Girl
| the cast was strong and the play
was well rendered. The plot was
hidden and while the audience could
guess as to part of the outcome
| hose not having seen the play
before were agreeably surprised at
/ the wind-up. Miss Claire again
starred with her violin.
SATURDAY NIGHT
Last but not least of the plays
presented at the Warfield last week
was "A Mexican Border Romance. =
/ This was perhaps the most thrilling
of all the plays that were presented
The plot being laid along the border
where there is so much agitation at
present. The scenery was so per-
! feet that any one having been or
the border at Ell Paso, Tex, woul(
readily recognize it. The play was
well staged and was thoroughly en-
ioyed by all.
