Consolidation
When Geiger was founded it was de-
cided to consolidate these small schools
and to locate a large school at Geiger.
There was no doubt that one large, COM
Portable, well furnished, well GRADED
school would be very muoa more desir-
able and more successful in every way
than these small unequipped schools.
School wagons solved the question of
transportation to this central school.
So IT was that the Geiger High school
was built. 1t was completed during the
past school year. 1t is a brick building,
containing six class rooms cloak rooms,
halls and an auditorium. The walls are
of rough sand finish painted brown and
frescoed. The ceiling is crimped gal
vanized iron painted in cream tints.
The class rooms are furnished with sin
gle patent desks and teachers desks and
chairs. The auditorium is seated with
opera chairs The blackboards are of
pressed paper pulp. and dustless crayon
is used The blackboards are neatly bor-
dered with molding, and there is picture
molding in each room. The building Is
well lighted and is heated and ventilated
by the Peek-Hammon system. New
shades have been added this fall clocks
have been put in the recitation rooms,
and chairs have been bought for the stage

GEIGER HIGH SCHOOL
ANOTHER CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL OF SUMTER COUNTY

Another and larger consolidated school
of Sumter county is the grammar AMI
high school at Geiger
Geiger is a new town in the black belt,
the famous farm land in south Alabama.
z 1t was planned from the outset to be a
prosperous country town. a residence
town for planters and a market and ship
ping point for produce from the sur
rounding country 1t is located on the
Alabama, Tennessee and Northern rail-
road. Everything about the town is new
and all the townspeople are interested IN
its success. There are several dry goods
stores and grocery stores, a drug store,
a bank and a hotel. All these are IN
brick buildings.
! One of the largest buildings is a new
12.0Qo schoolhouse which was completed
last spring, replacing several other build
ings at points from one to six miles away.
Until three or four years ago, before the
rounding OF Geiger, the three adjoining
school districts in that part of Sumter
county had small. separate, one-teacher
schools. One of these schools enrolled
rs pupils. 1t was furnished with patent
desks and a teachers desk but with al
most no equipment. Another, with an
enrolment of about 30, contained seven
patent desks and some rough home made
benches. The third, where 20 pupils were
enrolled, contained no furnishings except
rough board seats This building was
made of straight up-and- down planlxs and
had two plank windows There were
large cracks In the walls and the floor.

added that the children are being
taught something of scientific farming.

land.
To return to the auditorium and to
the different affairs given there these
were begun before the completion of
the new building. In anticipation Of
furnishing it, a tag day was included
of 1912. The money collected was used
in seating the primary room. Lunches

Nature Study
An attractive departure and one that
indicates the trend toward an apprc-
citation in the rural schools of outdoor
life is the nature study in this school
Last spring the children In Miss Mar
tins room were studying moths. They
succeeded in Matching two beautiful
moths and were eager to find out all
they could about them. They read ev-
erything available on the subject Of
moths-the rural school library again.
When the leaves turn to bright autumn
colors the children carry to school the
prettiest leaves they find and use them
for patterns for memory-gem booklets.
They color the covers of these little books
and write their names, ages, grades and
the date on the fly leaves They print
the quotations and tie the leaves together
with raffia. In preparing these booklets
they learn much about trees, as they find
for different leaves. The spring and au-
tumn flowers are used for calendars and
drawings and the pupils unconsciously
learn the flowers Of their locality. In

Trimble supplied the auditorium with
school song books. In addition to books
bought from the state library fund, a
friend of the school gave all of Scott's
and af George Eliot's works, and the
children have bought about 40 volumes of
fiction poetry and fairy stories. Some
of the books are especially dear to the
children, and they feel that certain ones
are essentially their own, theirs to read
and enjoy, to discuss and share with
each other. There are three cases filled
with books, and a reading table supplied

PLANS A TEACHERS
COLONY ON HERLAND
Indian Woman Offers Site
for Home for Broken
Down of Her Sex

Muskogee. Okla. December 13.-(Spe-
ial.l-Mrs. j. a. Wood, Cherokee In
dian woman of Muskogee who owns sew
eral hundred acres of land on Brushy
mountain, eight miles southeast of Mus
hogee, has originated a plan to establish
there a club colony for school teachers
which shall become a sort of home for
those teachers who are out o. employ
ment or have broken down in the Sorry
Ice.
Mrs. Wood proposes that the teachers
who are in active work shall contrib
ute small amounts annually to build the
clubhouse in which the teachers may live,
and she herself has given 800 In addi-
tion to the land to start it.
She proposes that each teacher who
goes to live in the colony shall be al
lotted a small portion of land, as much
as can be cultivated well by the indi-
vidual, and upon it raise enough to prac-
tically support herself. This would make
the club self-supporting
The mountain is beautiful woodland
With abundant, sparkling springs. an
ideal location for such a colony, and
1t is close enough to the city to have
market for everything that is raised
in the way of surplus vegetables.
Mrs. Wood has unusual ideas about
the land. She will not sell it, but is
willing to make a contract for the teach
ers to use it as long as they want it.
She does not consider that the patent
which the government gave her to the
land as allotment gives her the right
to deed it away She believes that she,
as an Indian has only the occupancy
right to the land and that when she can
no longer use it it should revert to the
Indians in common.
She says she is also willing to fur
nish a plot of ground to any poor fam
lily with children who will go on the
land and build home. tent or other shell
ter, and the land will be theirs free to
use so long as they will stay on it and
keep their children there. She does this
because she says she has more land than
she can use and believes it ought to be
put TO use to serve those who need it.

connection with spelling, parts of flowers
are distributed for their names to be
given and spelled. Flowers are taken
apart and pasted in composition books,
the name of each part being written be-
side it.
Grains are studied with geography. The
members of the geography classes make
large maps of the United States and
place the grains in the sections in which
they are grown. Corn, wheat, rye, oats
and cotton are used in making these
maps. In the maps of Alabama, they
place all the important products of their
own county.
Paper pulp maps are made showing
the location of valleys and highlands,
modes of transportation. reasons for Ger
tain animals being found in certain sec
tions for growth of cities and other
points
An exhibit of this work, including draw
ings, pulp maps. animal maps, product
maps and practical cardboard construc-
ton, was shown during the closing ex-
ercises last May.
Successful Undertaking
This school has been fortunate in hav-
ing loyal friends Mr.. j. H. Pinson and
Mr.. w. L. Waller gave the school build
ing to the town. Mr.. Galloway, county
superintendent of education, and Mr.
Elliott, member of the county board of
education, are frequent visitors in the
school and have been glad to give all
the support possible through their Off
cial connection with the public school
system.
Last year the Geger High school was
a combination of the three schools al
ready mentioned, the children going from
one were conveyed in a school wagon
made especially for that purpose and
drawn by two 1500-pound Percheron- Nor
man horses. Those going from another
direction used their own conyeyances.
This year fourth school has been added
and two school wagons are sent every
morning to gather the children from a
distance of four. five and six miles. The
expense of these school wagons is borne
by private subscription, as there is
state appropriation for that purpose.
Five teachers are. employed this year
Miss Gibson, who has been teaching near
Geiger for four years, is principal. Miss
second Miss Hudnutt is teacher of the
primary department and Miss Curling
is in charge of the music department
The work of combining these schools
and transforming the four neglected little
groups into one well graded school has
been an unusual undertaking, and the
results are phenomenal. The school sem
timent is good The parents are glad to
send their children, even If 1t be neces-
