The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1913-11-02

Hueytown is an attractive country
place three miles beyond Bessemer. Be-
fore the Civil war the land was owned
IN one large tract by Mr.. Mortimer Jor-
dan, a pioneer Of Jefferson county. In
the sixties the land was divided and sold
70 several different people, among whom
were Samuel and Jesse Huey. twin
brothers. These brothers settled about
a mile apart. One of them, Samuel Huey,
bought the old Jordan homestead and
lived there for number of years. The
house has stood. shaded by a huge old
oak, until a few weeks ago, when it was
TORN down to be replaced by a modern
residence.
The defendants of these two Huey
brothers made their homes near the two
old homesteads and the place became
known as "Hueytown." Nearly 100 people
of that name are now living in the town.
Others who were among the early resi-
dents and whose defendants have made
their home near by were the Crooks, the
Robertsons and the Waldrops. There

desks for the new school room. The next
enterprise is to be the buying OF a full
set of mounted maps and some other
charts. After this is done the school
grounds will be improved.
Among the Teachers
The teachers at the Hueytown school
represent one of the very highly capa-
bic faculties OF the county. Mr. w. r.
Copeland, principal. is a graduate and
post graduate OF the Normal school at
Jacksonville. He has been principal at
Hueytown for several years and has been
most successful. His work with the boys
IS praiseworthy. His attitude is that of
a leader and he finds that his pupils are
willing to follow. He says of the school
A regular High school course is offer d,
as we have the 10 grades. Vocal music
and drawing are taught in every grade
and instruction in mechanical drawing
is given In the High school department.
A department of instrumental music has
recently been added TO the school. Miss
Meigs Is in charge of this department
and has % pupils.
I'm the High school department we are
trying to teach the children how to
study and are teaching them that the
effort they expend is more important
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1913-11-02

our Tomato club of last year. Each of
them had one-tenth of an acre and made
from SIS to $i5 on their plots. Miss Lilsi.
Huey cleared $685. 10 on her tomatoes. The
prospect for a corn club Is good. A Glee
club has been organized and is getting a
good start.
I'm the matter of health our pupils are
urged to have dental work done when
needed and practical instruction in hy-
e.ene is given
1T will be remembered that this is a
country district where truck growing is
the chief occupation: but it is so near
Bessemer's industries that many of its
citizens work there at the shops. 1t is
expedient that up to date methods of
truck farming be taught in school. To
do this more effectively and to dignity
that kind of work in the estimation of
the pupils, | cultivate with my own
hands two acres of land at my home.
BY planting a variety of seeds have
fresh vegetables or fruits every month
of the year This work gives me a vital
and personal interest in agriculture and
horticulture and makes my teaching OF
these subjects more enthusiastic and eff
feetive. Circumsta noes have prevented
our having school garden, but we hone
to have one next srring. This defice rcy
is overcome by individual gardens. Pupils
are taught how to figure up the value of
4
strict account of all expenses and all
profits. In this way price of farm labor
is compared with price per day at the
shops. In most cases we find that the
farm in this locality pays better. This
Is further proven by the fact that most
of our farmers own their homes.
Many of our boys who do not take up
farming go TO the shops when they finish
school here, we find 1t well to keep
this fact in view In our teaching. We
correlate shop work with our mathemat-
les. and give instruction which will be
practical for those who take up this
work The school boys who may go to
the shops are urged to fit themselves
for places of foremen by being able to
do all necessary brain work as soon as
the mechanical side of the trade is ac-
quired in the shops. This is made moro
effective by old shop hands of the COM
munity telling how much they need to
know mechanical drawing. arithmetic
geometry and physics. An effort is being
made to apply everything taught in
school to lifes needs. in industrial, bus
mess and social circles"
Miss Florence Huey, first assistant is
O "Judson Girl" with all that that
means. She is a granddaughter of Sam
uel Huey, and has lived IN the village all
her life. She is deeply interested in the
school and in her thorough teaching is
doing a significant work.
Miss Cecil Vines was school girl OF
Hueytown before She attended the Louie
Compton Seminary in Birmingham. Since
her graduation from the seminary she
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1913-11-02

has been teaching and has been IA the
Hueytown school for several years. Miss
Vines instruction in public school music
is exceptionally good, and has been very
highly praised by the music supervisor.
She has done much to bring the school
up to its present substantial basis.
Miss Cora We drop is the happy little
teacher of the happy little primary fol.s
She graduated two years ago from the
Jacksonville Normal school and has
studied in the University Summer school
She is using the primary methods taught
there by Miss Gardner and is making a
success of the primary department at
Hueytown.
Departmental Work
The school day begins at O'clock when
teachers and pupils assemble in the au-
ditorium for devotional exercises. Two
recesses and a 40-minute luncheon period
provide ample time for recreation. De-
partmental work is a feature of this
school Mr.. Copeland has charge of tie
High school department and mathematics
in the sixth and seventh grades. Miss
Huey teaches the other sixth and sew
enth grade studies, and the High school
English and music. Miss Vines teaches
the third, fourth and fifth grades, and
at certain periods of the day exchanges
rooms with the other teachers. AS has
been said, she specializes in music. Miss
Waldrop has the primary department
and the drawing. She is in charge also
of the supply of material which is kept
M the school building. Advantages OF
this departmental teaching are many.
The teachers can become better acquaint-
ed with all the pupils of the school and
can understand the school as a whole
much better than If they had only a
small, exclusive department. Beside.
they may teach those branches in which
they are capable OF giving specially good
instruction.

than the mere getting of results. Ihde-
pendent effort Is encouraged and the
children are taught that mental devel-
opment is the greatest asset they can
possess, and is acquired only by contin-
ued and systematic mental activity. The
reasons for studying given subjects are
discussed with the pupils and they are
made to understand the plan of their
course OF study.
Comparisons and calculations are made
to show the children the value OF a
school day and q school year in actual
dollars and cents. The children are en-
couraged to appreciate the value of the
years they spend in school and to be-
leve In their own ability to succeed.

and out. Pupils are taught to be prompt

one big family.
The School
This spirit is shown most delightfully."-
in the Hueytown school. It has been
well managed and successful since its be-
ginning. The old school house was a
neat, comfortable building of two rooms
1t was the pride of the community. and
was really better school house than
that of the average country town. 1t
was burned in 1907 and was replaced by
another two-room house built nearer the

an important part in the development of
the school. Mr.. c. L. Dabbs, chairman,
is always ready to help in any way. This
year he gave a stove for one of the school
rooms. Dir y. L. Huey takes a part in
all activities of the school. The mare
itself suggests that, for the Hueys have
never failed in loyalty to the school of
their village Mr. Coston has already
been mentioned. The handsome and well
arranged school building represents his
interest in the school. This spirit OF
good win toward the school prevails
throughout the community. Last SUM

book case was bought two years ago,
and the books are arranged in 1t by
grades, the shelves being marked to cor

according to the grades for which they
are intended, Is open to the children.
Pupils are allowed to get books at GER

return them within a stated time. Miss
Cecil Vines, one of the teachers, gave
her services as librarian until this sys-
tenn was perfected, and then one of the
pupils was put In charge. The present
librarian is one of the boys, Milton

ago by Betsy Hamilton. Beside the eight
entertainments of the Lyceum course
