Athletics Gipe Poise to Girls and Aid Them

Bv FLORENCE E. YODER.

The girl and athletics are no
longer two widely separated sub
jects. Athletics in the larger sense
for ROnen are coming to be more
and more sanctioned every day.

grade schools and athletics is fast
becoming one of the most impor-
tant issues of primary education.
Are her athletics coarsening

What exercises should the young
girl be gipens

which come into the minds of par
eHtS and educators as the World OF
sport opens day by day broader and
more aHuring to the woman in the
making.
Dr.. Rebecc0 StoHerOad, director
OF physical training in the grade

TEACH RE SHOWING rs
Z 6bVOC ETED BE EDUCATOR.

The illustrative method of teaching
was recently presented before the Nor
NAL College Summer School and In
|stitute by E. l.. Hughes, superinte
of the city schools of Greenville, S. c
This method was devised by Mr.
Hughes after many years of investiga-
ton and effort and is being received
enthusiastically by the North Caroli-
ma teachers.
Besides showing how readily chill
dren will grasp lessons in various
studies when simply and naturally IL
lustrated, Mr.. Hughes shows simple
n. n.ethods for making the apparatus
In the training school teachers are
given lessons on globe and map max
ing with apparatus devised by Mr..
Hughes, after years of experimenting.
Daily before the assembled teachers
maps and globes are constructed by
the instructor.
In his lectures and in private con-
versation Mr.. Hughes says the child
will grasp lesson the quickest when
it is illustrated, process which saves
much talking and explaining and
which avoids repetition and unsatis-
ography is most readily understood
He has adopted method for MAX
ing globes which requires only mate
rails that may be found near any
school. When completed these globes
are as serviceable as those which cost
1925 or $50. Many teachers are beng
taught how to make them. With
ttem children can be taught both po-
litical and physical geography.
An illustration of teaching the child
to read was given by means OF the
seven primary colors and by descr1p-
ton of sunrise. First, on looking to
ward the morning is the red which
serves to make objects defined, or de-
inition. AS the light changes to
orange the objects are discernable' or
defined Then there comes yellow
with objects emphasized, or enunc1at-
ed. Similar methods may be found IN
teaching the other subjects that are
taught commonly.

this would raise $4,000. In other

EXPERT SAYS CITY HALL CAN
BE MADE SAFE FOR $500
Mr.. Mcleod Says Bulging Wall Can be
Remedied and Safety Insured for
- Small Amount.

The city hall, about which there is
occasional talk of remodeling with the
view to making it safe for occupancy
and a revenue producer, was visited
b. a committee from the Greater Hen
dersonvife club some weeks ago with
the view to ascertaining the cost Of re-
pairing the structure.
The committee was accompanied by
Robert M, Mcleod, superintendent Of
the erection of the HendersopviIIe fed
eral building and recognized authori-
ity on construction work While the
committee. has made no formal report,
Mr.. Mcleod; when seen by a repre-
tdtiVe of the Democrat, said that he
was confident the leaning wall, which
caused the building to be condemned,
could be repaired for 5000.
Mr.. Mcleod stated that the investi-
cations of the committee were not very
extensive and that he was unable to
speak as to the safety of joists, but as
far as the safety of the building from
the leaning wall was concerned it
could be made secure by the expendi-
ture Of about $500.
These figures will come as quite a
surprise to some who have estimated
that it would take several hundred OF
possibly a thousand dollars to make
the building safe.
There was recently some informal
discussion among the city commits
sioners as to making some disposition
of the building but the lack of funds
in the city treasury prevented further
action
