BIG BASKET BALL CON-
TEST TOMORROW NIGHT

Because of the very cold weather OF
last Friday night the basket ball con
test that was scheduled with the teams
from Lucy High School was called of
and postponed until tomorrow, Friday
night, February 9th.
This gives the local teams one more
week which they are spending in daily
practice for the big contest. The
rough edges are being smoothed off
and the finishing touches put on, and il
is believed that the teams will be in
the pink of condition when the fray
begins.
Reports from down the line say that
the opposing teams, are using every
minute of their time in preparation for
the game. 1t will be remembered by
some that the boys team from Lucy
was badly defeated by the Byars-Hall
boys in game here last year. Realiz-
ing this fact, they are putting forth all
the more preparation for this game,
and say that they are going to win the
decision this time. This means that
there is going to be a sure enough
game, for the Covington boys are no.
ted for their hard fighting spirit.
Mr.. Woodson says that he has full
schedule of games now for three weeks
ahead and the basket bali lovers will
not have to hunger and thirst for
amusement. One of the biggest draw
ing cards of the season is a double
header game scheduled with both the
boys and girls teams from Dyers-
burg high school for Friday night
week, February 16. These teams are
coached by DR.. Joe Joyner, former
Byars-Hall student, and he is putting
forth every effort in order to have his
teams make the best showing possible
against his Alma Mater. Following
this game, it is quite likely that the
local teams viii go to Dyersburg for
return game on the 22nd.
The boys team from Tunica, Miss,
school is expected here on Friday
night, the 29rd.T This team met sad
defeat here last year, but Mississippi
dope says they are in a much better
condition this time and the Byars-Hall
lads are not going to be too over-con-
fdent.
The above program offers something
worth while in the way Of good, clean

plurals of nouns. With such training,
these little folk should be able, in a
few years, to express their thoughts
in writing. Many can talk who can
not write well.
Then was conducted into Miss
Addie Strong's room, whose praise is
on everyone's lips. Here Isaw about
fifty little tots of varied complexion.
From what | could see on the black
board, she had been drilling them in
the intTicacies of arithmetic. At the
time | was there she had class Of
primary primaries. They were very
primary, indeed. She was teaching
them to read. Professor, do you know
that they do not teach them the letters
now? To teach the little tots to read,
they teach them words first. They
never teach them the letters. The lit
tie tots learn the letters while they are
learning to read. When they have
learned to read, they know their let
ters. Methods are so different now
from what they were when | was
primary. How Miss Addie succeeds
with all these little tots. do not know,
but she succeeds.
Who can divine the possibilities Of
a little child?
Who can measure the results of
training the tender mind?
Now, Mr. Super, have told you Of

anything, and that they have to teach
it at home. Don't you think the parent
should at least visit the school first to
see what the teacher is doing, before it
talks against the teacher and tries TO
traduce his name and reputation? If
/ had children in school, / think |
would cooperate with the teacher in
his effort to develop the mind Of my
child, especially if / we're incapable
myself of tutoring it.
Now, Mr.. Super, | have spoken my
mind plainly, but l trust you win not
betray me into the hands of self-con-
ceited Ignorant.
Hoping to have an expression from
you in answer to this letter, am,

STUDENTS NEGLECT
CONTEMPORARY LIFE
What do students read?

What do students read?
Carl Holiday, professor Of English
at the state University, gives it as his
opinion, that few students read the
newspapers or have interest in con-
temporary literature or plays.
with the exception of their text
books, in which some students show
passing interest, books fail to win the
attention of the average student" said
Professor Holiday. Excepting the
students in journalism and current
events classes, the seniors themselves
are Indifferent to what goes on outside
of the campus. They lose much 81
their interest even in looking on at the
game of life and surround themselves
with their text books and their own
self sufficiency. 1t is deplorable that
in the task of getting an education a
student neglects many educational OPP
portunities."

The Evenino Hour.

When homeward wends the weary

the season of the day, For though

only little tads did we not then with
joy await the home returning of our
dads and romp to meet them at the

kids to meet him when the day is done
though he must buy them shoes and
lids, though he must hump to get the
mon., though he hath not a pile of
kale, though many are the bills he
pays. his are the joys of this sad vale.
