ONE DAYS WORK.

/. 1t took just one working day Of
eight hours to transform a Tennessee
rural schoolhouse that was in very
bad condition into a building OF which
any community would be proud. What
was accomplished in this instance by
community cooperation could be car
ried out effectively by any county SUI
pertntendent, teacher or school Inn
provement association.
This unique and practical demon
stration in public school Improvement
was engineered by Prof. D. Riley Ha-
worth, Of the East Tennessee State
Normal school. Prof Haworth first
secured the cooperation Of the county

in which the demonstration was car
ried out. He also secured the CO.
operation of the public school teachers
OF the county and of the patrons Of the
what any neighborhood can do In one
day by united action in the improve
ment of school buildings and grounds.
A band of teachers. school patrons.
and normal school students, marched
out to the Neil school early In the
morning to begin operations. An Of
ficial photographer was taken along:
he made photographs Of the school
grounds, the building. and interior at
8 a. m. before work began and again
at I p. m. when the days work was
completed. The before and after"
pictures made 1t look AZ IL q miracle
had taken place.
The building at 8 a. m. was in az
a condition as it could be
and still be used for school purposes.
The workers were armed with shovels.
hoes axes, carpenters tools. paint.

floor, renovated the entire interior.

and hung pictures. The old desks
were removed and new desks. supplied
by the school district, were placed in
the building.
The outlay aggregated. In cash. $35.
1t included IL gallons OF paint. s gal

a number of books to start a school
library, and one American flag.
When the work was completed the
building presented az attractive an
appearance as the best one-room
country school.
One of the most delightful features
of the day was the social enjoyment
that resulted from the gathering to-
gether of such a large group Of work.

served by people in tho neighborhood
of the school. It il planned to repeat

echpses OF the sun and moon, to oc-

OF the planets. and the determination
OF their periodic and synodic times. to
the construction of tables of the fixed
stars and the mapping Of them into
consultations and to settling the exact
length of the true solar year. It is fair
to presume. then. that they had tel
eecopes to aid them in their work.
Egypt was also the mother Of litera-
