cess. No amount of equipment nor the
best of advantages in a material sense
can replace the genuine interest of school
officials, for the spirit of a school largely
determines its outcome, regardless of
these other things. Irondale school has
been fortunate in having had such teach
ers and trustees, not occasionally or only
recently but for successive years.
As the result of these years OF good
work, 1t is now one of the schools that
may be designated as representative of
the very best in the school system of the
county.
Attractive Location
The school building has an attractive
location in the south end OF the town.
1t is on a large lot with space for games
a garden, and with shade trees at one
side. Across the road is a baseball dia-
mond and tennis court. A grove adj
joins the grounds on the opposite side,
and good roads lead from the building
in three directions. The grounds are en-
closed by fence. and shade trees planted
two years ago border the walks. These
trees were planted by the older boys.

add to the appearance of the school lot.
The flower garden has been a fea-

small plot for each grade. The children
enjoy their garden, and take pride in
the plot of their particular grade. 1t
is especially pretty in spring. with the
early flowers that come first. little
later there are roses, and some of the
teachers are planning to have few
vegetables this summer, to be cultivated
by children who live near the building.
The class in agriculture has had its
work correlated with the garden, and the
children are encouraged to have home
gardens and to use their own yards and
gardens for flowers and vegetables.
Corn and tomato clubs are organized.

and they, of course, have ample oppor-
tunity for this work, while others have
large gardens or can secure the use OF
vacant lots.
Another club of the girls is the sewing
circle which is for work and pleasure
both.
The boys and girls of the eighth and
ninth grades have a debating society de-
veloped from the boys debating club or
ganized year or two ago. From the
outset it has been one of the things
that seem to have given the greatest
amount of pleasure and profit. Some of
the students have developed more or less

THE BLACK WARRIOR

BY Mrs. II. c. Bush.
Behold, the great Black Warrior
Brave and stalwart as of yore.
Treading gently, swiftly onward
Through the hills OF coal and ore.
Bedecked with paint and feathers.
Bow and arrow in his hand,
Standing proudly, long he gazes
At the wondruous works of man.
In the days OF bygone ages
Here he used to meet his foe
in our Alabama forests.
Where the sweet azaleas grow.
Many changes greet his vision.
Scenes and friends he used to know
Since he left tho sunny southland
Where he trapped the bear and doe.
From big Sleep" he wakes to murmur
As Black Warrior traps" a barge
Filled with freight and duslSy diamonds
To supply the trade at large.
when big trap opens wide his door
Boat go inside, he get caught
Black Warrior lifts them up or down,
Palefaces much big thought"
To Ellis, Georg and Erskine
Bankhead and all the rest,
We laud and praise We warriors
Today our honored guests.
Behold, Great Tuscaloosa,
He returns to claim his own
Among the tribes of commerce
Big chief upon tho throne.
