Hours by Normal School
Teacher and Pupils.

Rural School Letter No. TO-" of Feb.

this story of "One Days Work on a
Country Schoolhouse."
II took just one working day of eight

iition into a building of which any
community would be proud. What was
accomplished In this instance by COM
munity cooperation could be carried
out effectively by any county superin-
tendent, teacher or school improve
ment association.
This unique and practical demon
stration In public-school Improvement
was engineered by Prot. u. Riley Ha-
worth of the East Tennessee State
Norman school. Professor Haworth
tirst secured the cooperation of the
county board OF education OF McMinn
county, in which the demonstration
was carried out. He also secured the
cooperation of the public school teach
ars Of the county and Of the patrons
Of the Neil school, the plan being to
show what any neighborhood can do
In one day by united action In the i'm.
proyement 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 otii-
cial photographer was taken along. He
made photographs of the school
grounds, the building and interior at
5 a. M, before work began. and again
at D. M, when the days work was
completed. The before" and after
pictures made Ii look as Ii miracle
had taken place.
The building at s a, M. was In as dis.
reputable condition as ii could be
and still be used for school purposes.
The workers were armed with shovels,
hoes, axes, carpenters tools, paint,
whitewash and soap They nailed ON
new boards where they were needed,
painted the building. built chimney,
cleaned up the rubbish. scrubbed the
door. renovated the entire interior.

or, tinted the walls a pearl-gray color.
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. $3s.
1t included IL gallons Of paint, s gal
Ions OF linseed oil. paint brushes,
one-half bushel of whitewash. So worth
of weather boarding and lathing, 2
| pounds of nails, window shades, ma,
terial for sash curtains, pictures, a
number of books to start school
iibrers and one American flag. When
the work was completed the building
presented as attractive an appearance
as the best one-room country school.
One OF the most delightful features

that resulted from the gathering to

BUSINESS RECORD
1t is Likely to Surpass Even Great Brit
aims Greatest
Year.

Washington, Nov. 27.-By the end
of the year the United States will prob
ably have broken all records for all
nations in foreign business. 1t will have
surpassed Great Britain's greatest year
of export business. American exports
will probably reach the S4,000,000 mark,
For the twelve months ending with
October, the United States has export
ed goods worth $3,3l8 ,634,636. This fig
ure sets new American record for ex-
ports the greatest foreign trade in
American history.
On the other side of the ledger, the
imports for October alone 1884 ,63S,57S
were also new high record.
1t was in specializing on the POSSIBLE
ity of thus breaking all records that
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld yester-
day secuted the possibility of there be-
ing any big slump in American foreign
trade at the close of the war, due to the
cutting off of trade in munitions of war.
'In considering the state of business
there is too much of tendency" he
said, ITO view 'the preponderance of the
coin phrase We should
look beyond immediate causes and imme-
date effects into the future. Foreign
nations after the war will come to us
for machinery, their steel, their railroad
stock and other supplies. In the mean
time, if ! am not mistaken, the United
States will set new worlds record for
foreign business"
incidentally, the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce yesterday pointed
put that for the year ending with De-
,ober American imports totalled $l,60l,- |
74s,Ol3, compared with sl,ss0,4l4,50l in
he preceding period. The total of all
American foreign trade, therefore, (
