School Improvement Increases Efficiency
 of Schools and Promotes Community Spirit

School improvement has passed the ex- perimental stage and has come to be an important factor. not glerely in the school for the public's sake. but in the school and the community for the community,s sake. Cities, villages. and neighborhoods are interested in school improvements in it's larger sense of being community im- provement and development of commun- ity welfare
 School improvement associations are one of the best things that have been added to schools for they mean an in- crease in the attention given to comfort in schools, more interest in the school from patrons and an arousing of civic pride; and how much these finally mean and how far-reaehing are their results one can but imagine. For instance, there Is the schoolhouse that is neglected, unattractive, and insanitary. The school improvement organization takes up this matter and soon there is better build ing, more equipment, and altogether, a school of high standard. Again, there is school that, has never been really eff cient A school improvement association is organized and successfully conducted and soon patrons and teachers are work ing understandingly and sympatheticaiiy to perfect their school In another in- stance, the school may be efficient so far as class room work is concerned, but it has no reai influence. the community. The question is taken up by the school improvement association,a with the result that the spirit of the community at large is improved and the welfare of the town is realized to depend upon the townspeo- pie. And the spirit it creates is one of the comnlendable points Of school inn provement. It does not only do big things, but it creates a wholesome spirit and arouses interest in the community i'll itself.
 From a number of sources come reports of such work. One is from a community just outside of Birmingham, at McIll- wane. MT. and Mrs. Baker, who have one of the few dares that rank in the

Week ly records showing weight health at tendance. cause of absence, and sucI points are kept in each grade indoors and outdoors. and are compared from time to time. Tn addition to this the teachers are careful to observe anything bearing on the subject.
 The work has continued from day .o day, in spite of the cloudy, cold days of the winter. and the records show a steady increase in appetite, weight, and in gem eial health. The children have suffered from few colds. and headaches have been almost unknown in the open air rooms It has been noticed especially that the work does not drag at the end of the day and that there has been no irritation and not single instance of disorderly behavior The last is matter of com nent us several children in the open air school had previously given particular trouble.
 The actual grade work as seen by the supervisors. shows improvement over he same work done in closed school rooms.
 Tt is one of those very happy and sue cessful things that is delight to every one concerned. and in that instance at least, has proved the great advantage Of fresh air teaching. It seems to have

and cider down comforts worn over the shoes. The school furnishes the blanket bags one being provided for each child and marked so that they are not ex- changed Each child furnishes his own cap, mittens and sweater
 The school Is not a fad. but rather is very thoughtful attempt to im- prove school conditions, especially in the matter of health and in the amount of energy and effective work that Is related directly to the condition of the teachers and children's health.
 IL is Atlantas own demonstration of tie advantage of open air schools, which have already passed the experimental stage in a few other places. The parents, teachers. and children who are concerned in this school are enthusiastic over it Teachers who were somewhat dubious of it at first say now that they greatly pre- fer 1t to indoor teaching and find it less exhausting than the same work would be In closed room There have been more applicants for admission to the open air school than could be seated
 As 1t was to be a demonstration of the advantage of open air teaching the chill dren of the model and training school were evenly divided, with a first, sec- ond, a third. and a fourth grade in the open building and with parallel grades in the regular school building, winch IS

above a5 per cent class. have been in terested in this school for some years and it is considered one of the best of it's class. The school improvement organ ization there has taken up the matter of making the school a community center and has made of itself neighborhood club, The meetings are held at night, when the fathers of the school children can attend. instead of in the afternoon when only the women can go. There are debates. talks, games; the school li- brary is open to the patrons as well as to the school children, and the school is as much, approximately. for the pat rons at night as for the children in the day.
 At West Blocton. in Bibb county the improvement association has reiuvenated the school and has made it really alert. wide-awal1e school. One rather unusual feature of their work was in furnishing a club room at the schooihouse. There was no place for social gatherings, club meetings, and for the Improvement society and the ladies of the society fur nished an unused class room as a club room. 1t is very attractive and popular. It is used at the music studio, and Miss Weaver. besides having her piano pupils there. contributes through her music to whatever entertainments are given. In one corner is a lounge, there are com fortable chairs and in q little cupboard are plates and cups. so that tea may be served at the meeting or the association may serve dinners to raise funds. This association has been signally successful in a material way. and in the cordial interest it has brought about
 One from which many goods things have resulted is the association at Boyles Its latest work has been to pay for en- closing the schoolhouse. underneath. with lattice and to pay for a machine for the sewing class of older girls For two or three years. it has fostered the manual arts and the domestic science departments. and it now pays for mate rial used in the cooking class. It was largely through this association that in terest was first created for the location Of the Jefferson County High school.
 The improvement society of the Huff man school, above East Lake. has this term had q rock wall put around the school grounds. The schoolhouse is in a beautiful grove on a low hillside, and the wall has added to the already at tractive appearance of the grounds.
 At Inglenook the association has bought a piano for the school, besides contributing to current expenses of the school
 At Mountain Home one of the country schools, the association made part of it's money by bale of cotton that was con- tributed from the farms in the neighbor- hood.
 As to entertainments provided by the associations at the schools, one of the cleverest given this year was at Blocton, Bibb county.
 Invitations printed on rough brown pa- per were issued, announcing that "Ye be all invited to a gathering to be held on ye evening of Friday, ye 12th day of ye second month of ye year of our Lord. nineteen hundred and fifteen, at ye No. l Schule House.

 Atlanta's Open Air School
 Along the line of school improvement, Atlauta has something of interest in her new open air school
 Last summer one or the elementary schools of Atlanta was reorganized as a training school for teachers. In connec- ton with this training school witch was opened in September, are 15 practice and model classes, and four of these are taught in open air rooms
 These four classes are in a separate building. an attractive little bungalow with four rooms and a hall, and built especially for this school The class rooms are closed in one the sides next to the hall and next to each other, and these sides are used for the blackboards. On the two outer sides of each room, whether boarding extends four feet. and above this the space is entirely open. Heavy curtains made of duck are in place and can be lowered in case of rain or very strong wind. The santing roof has an outward extension of four feet so there is ample protection against bad weather. There is no artificial heat, which is cer- tainly an innovation in school rooms. Proper clothing is used instead. There are bags made of heavy army blankets, sweaters, warm toboggan caps, mittens,
