On School at TalluLah Falls

been conscious of beauty in the world
about her, until she came to our
school, and since her eyes had been
opened she found beauty everywhere.
Grounds Being Made Attractive.
The school grounds are being made
attractive with shrubbery. Retaining
walls an dterraces of rock have been
built. A tennis court has been made
OH the mountain top.
Sanitation and hygiene are espec-
iallv stressed A scholarship girl, af-
ter visit to her home last spring, con-
fided to Miss Davis her unhappiness
because of the flies at her home. She
suffered some years past, from typhoid
fever, and upon learning the cause, she
wanted to protect her family.
This same girl was almost bloodless
and lifeless from hookworm infection
which she has learned is the direct
result of insanitation. Relief was
given her
Life at the school was made brighter
and happier through the year by small
Friday night parties and community
baseball Saturday afternoons. At
Thanksgiving Christmas and at the
close of school the village people were
invited. On the Christmas tree were
presents for $50; bountiful boxes were
sent by our friends.
For the first time the school was
kept open the past summer and over
two hundred people visited it. Many
friends were made and the work was
carried on by the scholarship pupils
without interruption.
Two visiting Philadelphia bankers
gave Miss Davis $4,000, which she us
ed to purchase the lumber for enclos-
ing the basement
From Habersham county the school
received $7172, and from Rabun coun-
ty $4,000 the past year.
145 Clubs Assisted.
By actual count las clubs contribut-
ed $1,512.7O to the support of the
school. / had hoped to increase the
number of contributing clubs to 100
even that number would be less than
one half of the Federated Clubs. Many
OF the clubs are giving generously
Forty-one have been added over the
previous year. Unquestionably more
people are interested and the spirit OF
those reached is increasing.
The one serious problem confronting
us is how to reach and get the coop
Grafton of the individual club women;
how shall we get our message to her.
The total sum deposited to the Main
tenance Fund from all sources was

BY MRS. HUGH WILLET, DIRECTOR
Seeing is believing" to all who Wis
it our Federation School. They come
away filled with enthusiasm about its
management. We have at last attain
ed the standard toward which we have
struggled for years. We have the
commentator of our State School
superintendent, Mr.. Britain, and of
Miss Celeste Parish, state School Sup
eryisor.
Our school patrons are now of one
mind, the yare proud of the school,
they are giving better cooperation.
We find them more willing to allow
their children to go forward. A fine
strong school spirit is in evidence
among the children themselves.
Ninety-six pupils are enrolled, an
increase over last year. There are
fourteen scholarship pupils and many
applicants whom we cannot accommo-
date.
Miss Davis recommends returning a
cottage for the overflow, and also adj
hitting pay pupils. When these sug-
gestions are carried out the schools
usefulness will be greatly increased.
AS you are probably aware, the Ex-
ecutive Board of the Federation rec
commended some time ago the appoint
ment of an Assistant Director from
each District to cooperate with the
District President in furthering the
interests of our schools. 1t is one
plan to ask these Assistant Directors
to raise scholarship fund of 100000
each year in their districts (from indi-
viduals, not from clubs, in order that
every district in the state shall be rep
resented by boy or girl at our
school. We believe this plan will
greatly broaden our work. The selec-
ton of the scholarship pupils will be
left to the districts.
Many improvements.
Many valuable improvements have
been made the past year on the school
buildings The basement has been en-
closed and converted into a workshop.
The assembly room has been supplied
with 100 chairs, and the class rooms
with additional blackboards. Both
buildings have been put in through
repair; the walls have been freshly
tinted, floors oiled and much of the
woodwork restained.
System and order prevail every
where. Whatever is done is well done.
In the home and in the school every
thing is simple and tasteful. The
children are taught the love of the
beautiful. One young girl gave ex-
preston to her training recently when
she told Miss Davis that she had never
