LONGER TERMS FOR
COUNTY SCHOOLS IS
DESIRED BY BR|STtR
WORKING THROUGH THE cOUN-
TY SUPERINTENDENTS TO
ENLIST THE INTEREST.
AVERAGE OF SCHOOL TERMS
Seventy-five Counties of the State
Have Less Than Six Months Term.
Effort to Get Minimum of Six
Months.

Realizing the need of a longer
school term for the country schools
of the state Superintendent Brister is
urging every means possible to en-
list the interest and the cooperation
of the various county superintendents
and through them the patrons of the
schools to that end.
The city schools run on an average
1T days, and in most of the large
cities the term is approximately 200
days; the county high schools run
I177 days; while in the elementary
schools of the rural districts the av-
erage term, last year, was only ia
days When it is remembered that
| in this average are included many
large counties whose term is eight or
nine months, it will be seen that in
the small counties the terms are very
short, utterly inadequate for the
proper training and education of the
youth of the state. For instance rs
counties of the state have less than
six months term; Al less than five
months; seven less than four moGths
and in one or two counties the school
term last year was less than three
months.
There is an effort to inaugurate a
movement which will result in a min
imum school term of six months in
every county in the state; and cor
responding increase in the school
term in counties which now have
more than six months until term CT
eight or nine months is reached.
1t may be urged that the question
of school term is not the most vital
school matter before the people OF
the state today. At the same time
no great improvement can be expect
ed in the teaching force, and conse
|quently no better schools, in counties
whose terms are too short to offer a
reasonable income.
If the people of the country dis
tricts can be brought to realize thai
their children need as much school
ing as the children of the city, they
will exert themselves to improve the
,school conditions.
The state has recently added large
ly to school revenues. The main pur
pose of the school fund is to stimu
late local school activities; and this
purpose will not be attained unless
there result longer school terms ant
better school opportunities for al
the children of all the people of the
state.

GIBBS GIRLS LOSE
TO The PICKED NINE
At R|vfRS|.E PARK
NOVELTY OF WOMEN IN BASE
BALL Toes PROVES A DRAW.
ING CARD.
ALMOST THOUSAND PRESENT
Fans and Strikeouts Were Almost as
Seldom as the Errors Were Numer-
ous-Two Hours for Seven Innings,
and Twenty.Nine Scores.

If those who went to Riverside
Park Monday afternoon to see Gibbs
girls play ball with the picked Maury
county team didn't get their moneys
forth it was no fault of the time nor
the score. The time was two hours
for seven innings, and the score was
plenty no less than tWenty-nine heels
cracking the home plate for score.
And the error column was abandoned
entirely ON account OF the lack or
space. There were Ave women on
the visiting team and four men. The
men played the ball and the women
furnished the novelty that drew be-
tween 800 and 900 people out to see
the game. Orly one of the girls
played ball at all, and this was the
lone who guarded the initial sack.
Dozier went III to pitch for the pick
ed nine, and in two innings he wolK-
ed three of the ladies and the men
on the team took to his delivery with
a special attachment, and attached
five runs in the second. Frazier
then went IN the box and during the
remainder of the game She allowed
eight more runs, making the total OF
13. The picked team crossed the
plate each time at tho bat with the
exception of two, and their total when
it came their time at bat in the eighth
was 16.
1t was the largest crowd that has
seen a ball game at Riverside PORK
for some tipe witnessed the farce
and all seemed to enjoy the Play
many; however, with what they re
ceived before the sponge went ur
and the Maury countians declared the
winners.
| There were more country people
present than sometimes come to a
circus, and ground rules were neces
sary on account of the twelve foo,
canvas used.
Gibbs girls and their assistants
went to Pulaski for game there to
day.
