THE CITY GIRL
LEADS THE BOY
CITY SCHOOLS MAY HAVE SER.
VICES OF A TEACHER TO VISIT
IN THE HOMES.

The women of the Federated Moth
ers' clubs of the city met yesterday
AFTERNOON in the auditorium of the
High school, Supt. Richards and
President Hefner of the boald Of ed
ucaton met with them. The ladies
expressed the opinion that the heating
plants are badly needed for the ward
schools and pledged to work for the
bond issue Saturday. The clubs will
also place pictures on the walls of the
High school and committee will be
named to select appropriate pieces OF
art to relieve the monotony of the bare
walls.
Supt. Richards made an address in
which he suggested new work for
the schools. Not necessarily new
work but better manner Of doing
q work that all schools attempt in a
limited way. His suggestion calls for
what he terms visiting teacher"
who should be a lady and whose duty
1t will be to visit the homes where
the girl or the girls of the family
are not progressing with their work.
Prof. Richards is Of the opinion that
the girl is a very important factor III
the schools, where the elrl is high
minded and strict the boy will catch
the inspiration from the girl and
where the girl tires of her studies
falls out with her teacher and forms
associates that care only for the friv-
olous that the tendency will also be
to lead the boy away from his books.
The central point of the suggestion
was that as the girls are, so are the
boys.
The federation was delighted with
the suggestion and agreed to pay one
half of the salary of visiting teach
er If the board of education would
pay the other half. President Hefner
said he believed the board would vote
favorably on the proposition
If such teacher is employed It will
be her duty to ascertain the cause Of
the idleness, of the lack of interest
or the tendency to waywardness on
the part Of the girl and report her
findings to the superintendent, who
will devise some means OF restoring
the girl to active school work.

GRADING GANG
PUSHING WORK
EVERYTHING IN READINESS TO
KEEP OUT OF THE WAY OF
THE TRACK LAYING GREW.

The grading under the direction OF
Farley Richmond is making rapid
headway on the Ringing right OF
way.
The grading was begun at the west
boundary of the city near the Weeks
and Watson places and last night
nearly two miles had been complet-
ed. Two other contractors are ex-
pected to arrive in the city the first
of the week to assist in the grading.
The Kenefick Construction company,
which has the contract for laying
The rails and ties, will be here the
first of the coming week and will
Immediately begin putting down the
track. Farley Richmond stated this
morning that he was prepared to
work every team that would present
itself at the works, so far he says
few have taken advantage Of the
offer. There is probability that the
road will be completed and in opera
ton in time to haul this years cot
ton crop from the west to the city.
This the promoters say may seem i'm
possible but with the advanced stage
of the grading 1t requires but little
more time in which to finish that
part of the work and the track can
be laid at the rate of over a mile
a day.

COMMITTEE
CLOSE CONTRACTS
NECESSARY FUNDS AVAILABLE
COMMITTEE is PREPARING TO
ADVERTISE.

The committee appointed to make
arrangements for the big picnic On
the 2Sth and 29th will wire contracts
to managers of the different attrac
tions that they have decided upon this
afternoon and the concessions will be
let to the successful bidders.
This morning the question of adver-
tising was taken up and a plan de-
cided upon to give the picnic all the
publicity required.
The committee after yesterdays
meeting decided that basket picnic
was the only thing possible to give
this year, owing to the enormous
cost of barbecue. 1t would cost $4,000
to give a barbecue, and in view Of
the fact that the merchants and busl-
ness men of the city have been called
upon 10 contribute many times to
several propositions this year, 1t
would not be right to ask them 20
raise this amount. However it is
the intention of the committee to
make this the biggest and best basket
picnic ever held in this locality and
the necessary funds are on hand to
insure the success of the picnic AMI
the program will be pu'I'shed in full
as soon as the committee have COM
pleted arrangements.
