examination FOR
THE new teachers
Superintendent Scott Sug-
geStS That Average OF
IS Per Cent. be
Required
NO TEST UNDER
THE PRESENT SYSTEM

At the meeting OF the Board Of Edu-
cation las. evening Superintendent
Clifford j. Scott recommended that
students of he Wilmington Training
School for Teachers be compelled 10
pass an examination and reach an
average OF SO per cent. before they
are allowed TO graduate and given
diplomas. At present there are no re-
quirements for graduation.
He suggested that the requirement
of SO per cent. be made in all
branches that it be based on 40 per
cent for theory. 80 per cent. for meth
DDS and 30 per cent. for practice. but
in the latter division ihe graduate
should attain a percentage of 25 per
cent. out of the thirty.
Walter J. Campbell thought the re-
quirements were too high. Dr. II. G.
Buckmaster said it was a higher per
centage than physicians were re
quired to pass. The matter will again
be considered at the next meeting.
Miss Carrie A. Lady was appointed
a teacher at a salary of $50 a month.
II was decided TO move back the
fence around No IA school so as to
take IN an adjoining lot and permit
the construction of a school garden.
Permission was given for the use
OF the auditorium of the High School
on April for an entertainment for
the benefit OF the teachers retirement
fund: for April IA for the orchestra
recital and for one evening a week
for the rehearsing Of the senior play
Il was also granted to the Committee
on Military Training Camps for a lee
ture at a future date not conflicting
with the present plans Of the board.
It was announced that the sprins
vacation OF the schools would start
on the third Monday of April and last
until the following Monday. June 2o
was the date set for the final day Of
the present term and the closing day
for the school year.
Supply bills to the extent OF S5,566.31
and labor bills OF S42.2O we're passed
by the board.
Following the meeting the educa-
tional committee of the Chamber or

 'Hulda From Holland" might be called a fairy story from real life, for there is good fairy, the ogre, and the adorable little heroine, who, if she isn't a princess, is lovely enough to be one
 Then, too, there's the fairy prince who is brokers son, but prince nonethe- less, and there's a masculine good fairy in the person of TIulda's old uncle.

 The new Pine avenue school will ac- commodate about 300 children on the west side of Anniston, but the conges tion will still be great and it may be necessary for the city school board to rent additional buildings to take care of the greatly increased number of children who will register in the fall.
