Grammar School Certificates

Last year there were three pupils of
the Bessie school who completed the sew
enth grade and received certificates from
the county board of education Perhaps
an explanation of what this means would
be WELL ~
The grammar school course of the pub
lie schools of Alabama includes seven
grades. In Jefferson county there is an
examination given by the county board
| of education to the pupils throughout
| the county who complete the seventh
| grade. A number of the principals of the
| county schools are chosen to prepare the
questions for this examination, one pre-
pairing history questions; another, artih-
metic; another, grammar, and so on.
These questions are submitted to the
county superintendent of education, who
has copies of each examination printed
and has sets sent to the principals of the
various schools of the county. The sew
enth grade pupils who pass this examina-
ton receive from the county board OF
have completed the grammar school
course. In case these pupils return to
the school after they have finished the
seven grammar grades and have received
their certificates. provision is made for
them to advance. Many of the rural
schools in the county have an eighth
grade and some of the larger county
So, it is that three pupils of the Bessie
school were this year advanced these
certificates as recognition from the
county board of education of the work
they had done. The fact that the school
is now SO well graded that this was posr.
sible. is another evidence of Mr. Vests
ability and tenacity of purpose, Z,

There is thoroughly sanitary provision
for drinking water at the Bessie school.
There are three closed water tanks pro-
vided with faucets, and each pupil Is re-
quired TO have his own drinking cup.
While individual drinking cups are re-
quired in many of the schools, only a
few of them are fortunate enough to have
the closed tanks. b
out in the front yard is flag staff,
and the school has both the state and
the national flags The latter Is of the
new design which bears 4s stars, 3, II.
The men of the town volunteered to pay
something toward the expense of the
school. From this fund all drawing ma
terial and music books are supplied, and
other expenses are met Two of the
teachers. Miss Owen and Miss Heaton,
not only teach school music, but have
excellent voices They have sung sew

Recognition of School and Principal

Mr.. Baker. state supervisor of rural
schools. has inaugnrated a system OF grad
ing schools, according to their equipment
and general conditions. The highest num-
ber of points to be obtained is 125. The
Bessie school scored 10 of these points
and ranks as a Model school.
Tt has taken much perseverance and
ability to success as Principal West has
succeeded at this school, but the result
is worth the effort Having ones work
graded Model is worth trying for, and
besides this recognition, there have been
other less tangible results which are
no less significant A personal distinc-
ton which Mr.. West has won was elec-
tion to the county board of education.
Only one of the five members may be n
teacher In active service. and for that
place Mr.. West was selected from all the
principals of the county.

Python Kills Man
At the Majestic

As thrilling rs any of the wild ami
nal pictures that have been shown at
the Majestic theater is the great
two-reel narrative of In the Coils
OF the Python" 1t is a picture fun
of those tense situations which
makes the strongest men lean for
ward and stare at the pictures un-
reeling before their gaze. The hero
of the story is trapped in the wilds
of the Indian forests and is saved
from the attack OF q Bengal tiger
by the merest fraction of chance. His
betrayer and captor is crushed to
death by 35-foot python Weighing
S75 pounds. The pictures were
among the hardest to secure on rec
ord and the picture man was in con-
stant peril of his life. 1t is fea-
ture that ought to pack the Majestic.

Washington. Nov. 6.-The senate
banking committee today incorporat-
ed in the currency bill provision that
the stock of tine regional banks will
be owned by the public and the re-
Gional banks will be controlled by the
government.
The action is thought to have
cleared the way for an agreement in
the committee and may hasten the
progress of the bill.
Senators Reed and Hitchcock join
ed with the five republicans in yot-
ing for the proposal over the protests
of Senators Owen, Pomerene, Shat
roth, Hollis and O'Gorman and the
remaining democrats. The resolution
is regarded as basis of n comnro-
mise between the white and the sem
ators in control of the committee. A
provision in the house bill that the
national banks subscribe ten per cent
% the capital under penalty of losing
their charters would be eliminated.
If the public do not subscribe the
stock in sixty days the banks Will be
required to take the remaining stock.

WILL NOT BUILD
DOLORES BRIDGE.
Commissioners Reject Petition;
Proposed Span Delayed Un-
til 1915; Disapp0lntS Many.

The county commissioners this
morning decided not to make an ap-
preparation for the erection of a
bridge over the Dolores river at Gate
way. This stops effeotually the agi-
tation for this structure until 1915.
The commissioners stated that they
had investigated the matter thor
cughly and after visiting that sec
ton, taking census of the traffic
and the number of people who would
be accommodated, they did not be-
lieve that they would be justified in
erecting the bridge.
This action will disappoint many
proponents Of the Paradox road, but
will probably meet the approval Of
most of the taxpayers of the county.
