Manual Training.
Since the last report, Miss Ethel
Northern, of the white schools, lee
tured to the Primary teachers at
Pearl. Her lecture was brimful Of
inspiration, as she gave to the teach
ers some valuable information along
the advanced lines in education as
CLEANED from her recent travels in
the North and abroad. The degree
of appreciation for her remarks is
best measured by the enthusiastic
manner in which the teachers en-
tered into the new ideas, and are
putting them into actual practice in
their classes.
Tuesday Of this week was regular
Normal Day. To have been absent
was to miss a very, very rare treat
DR.. h, G. Smith, director of the
Normal meetings, announced that
the meetings for this term would con
slst OF series of lectures delivered
by the very best talent avilable, and
in very able and happy vein intro
Tduced DR.. G. Y. Roman us the speaker
tor the afternoon. Dr. Roman is a
speaker and writer Of international
anne, ana now you know you missed
treat if away. Every teacher left
imDued with nobter view of the
ton to aim to instill higher ideas
into those who come under their
care.
Pupils and teachers who have an
inclination towards athletics feel
deeply indebted to Prof. Fred Randle,
of Pearl High, for having introduced
the game OF Center Ball. The game
is proving to be a drawing card, and
the interest is spreading to all the
schools. In the near future there
will be splendid teams in each. AT
Pearl there are already not less than
ten teams. Some teams are girls. A
trial game was played last week be-
tween Ashcraft and Pearl both girl
teams OF course Pearl won out.
They have done more practicing than
any team. The game is reported as
having in excellent effect on the dis
cipline, scholarship and the moral at
mOsphere Of the schools.
Among the pupils of Sth Grade at
Pearl j. Leonard Byars and Benja-
min Satterheld are spoken of as
brilliant stars.
Quite IN interest is being manifest
ed in the very rapid strides that are
being made at Carter School. This
school has increased in enrolment
from $50 to its present enrolment,
600, within the past three years. At
a recent meeting Of the mothers OF
pupils of that school an organization
vas effected styled as the Parent
Teachers Association. Mrs. Anna
Smith was chosen president and Mrs.
Burns secretary. This organization
is working now very energetically to
institute penny lunches for the little
folks at the schools. To this end
they are now preparing for an ex
cellent concert to be given Nov. q
at the Second Baptist Church on
Stevens street 1t is hoped that
this worthy undertaking will be
literally patroniZed. Interest in
raising the spelling standard is espe-
cially shown there. The following
G-B pupils have made 100 per cent.
in spelling tests for weeks: Lucille
Webb, Libbie Davis, Mamie Owen,
Serena Dillihunty, Oscar Harris, Mat
tie Cannon, Elizabeth Motley, lola
HendIey.
Belleview reports a few splendid
teams in Center Ball at full work UNI
der Profs. Bate and Clinisson In
the monthly test Mary E. Patterson,
of 7-B, and Madeline Cardwell and
George Grady, of 6-B led out with
percentages Of 80 per cent, respec-
lively. Under Prof. B. C. Lewis the
Tbs are doing splendid work.
Knowles School continues to grow
in number Already the enrolment
is past 712. There seems to be
splendid spirit for work among both
pupils and teachers. The Alliance
held a very interesting meeting at
its recent session Parents and
friends feel grateful to note that pre-
parations have been about completed
for installing city water. This will
indeed satisfy a long-felt need A
very commendable class of work is
being done in the geography classes
here. A model map of the United
States, showing the surface products,
rices, ETC., worked out by Robert
Stockard of the GA Grade, deserves
special mention. Considering the
limitations, this piece of work would
do credit to any school of the coun-
try and would not show up bad in
comparison with some models of the
Canal Zone. When visiting Knowles
ask to see the piece of work. Pupils
here are working hard to pull up in
spelling. Perfect pupils for the past
month are as follows: Abs William
G. Foster, Ellis Thompson, Roy Scales
and Eugene Hyde, 5-A's. 5-B's-Neil
Frazier. CHS James Blackwell, John
Frazier, Roberta White, George w,
Lanier, Samson Williams, Nellie
Locl1ridge.
Superintendent Keyes, accompanied
by the instructor In physical culture
from New York, visited here this
month and they were highly pleased
at the physical culture exercises.
An association Of mothers at Mel
son Merry has just been organized.
Seemingly all forces are at work to
make this the banner year in the
history Of our school.
