HIGH SCHOOL, NOTES

! Over Atty books have recently
been added to the high school Ii
brary by the teachers and pupils in
Star Bright. More books have
been ordered and will arrive soon.
We are giving reviews and writ
tests on much of high school work.
This will be continued during bal
ance of school year SO that the sub
jects may be thoroughly mastered
by the students who are in regu-
lar attendance until the close.
The question: "Resolved, That
life in the country is more pleasant
for young people than life in the
city,, was discussed recently by
members of the class in English
composition, six on each side, and
created considerable interest in
composition work. All the, speech
es were written on theme paper and
the students were required to
hand them in to be graded, the
mistakes marked with blue pencil
and returned for correction.
The Musical Recital which was
given by the Students of the High
School was a grand success. The
pieces were rendered in such a man
ner as to reflect much credit to both
pupil and teacher. The special
feature of the program were the
readings given by Miss Ruth Quinn,
She first read That old Sweetheart
of Mine, while Miss Turman played
Silver Threads among the Gold
very softly on the piano. As an en-
core she gave Georgia Watermelons
We hope the pupils will give us
several more Of these interesting
recitals during the ensuing months

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
THE RURAL SCHOOL
Editor Morgan County Press.

Editor Morgan County Press.
Coincident with scientific farm
ing we need improved rural
schools. If I should attempt to
to suggest the need of any county
in the state, any district in any
county, 1 wA1suld say more and bet
ter schools, educators, newspapers.
magazines have advocated this for
centuries.
There are two main factors com
posing any school. If they be good
factors the school will be good in
proportion. These factors are a
competent teacher and co-opera-
tion of the parents. A competent
teacher, necessarily, is not one who
knows every principle in books.
His natural qualifications such as
temperament, disposition, love for
children and appearance should be
the prevailing thought in selecting
a teacher. have no patience with
the method of selecting teachers on
the hypothesis that he solve 50
many problems in arithmetic and
discarding altogether the other
qualifications. The better plan
would be a rigid oral examina-
tion by a board with the county
superintendent as chairman.
This would fortify against the
criminal methods which the appli-
cant utilizes in riding his way
thru by getting help from his neigh
Dor. Teachers register complaints
for small pay. l suspect that if
the truth wefe known some teach
ers employed at $40 per month is
getting dividend of 40 per cent on
mis- investment. l do not see how
a person can teach a successful
school wholly relying on book
skill. No community can expect
to have schools without competent
teachers.
There cannot be a good school

without the co. operation of the
parents of the children composing
the school. 1t is alarming when a
parent entrusts the value of child
to the keeping and training Of a
tutor who he perhaps never saw.
1t ia lamentable when a phild comes
at night to tell how the teacher cor
rected it, for the parent to side
with the child and Withdraw the
child from school, The child win
always tell the story to his advan-
vantage, 1t is we'll to love our

OF the possibility of drastic govern,

contained in statement issued to.
day by Van II. Manning, director OF
the Bureau of Mines.
The statement points out the needs
of the government for gasoline dur
ing the war and asks the cooperation
of automobile owners throughout the
country.
The warning asks that what is
commonly known as Joy riding" be
stopped and suggests that the man
who usually rides fifty miles on Sun,
day cut his mileage down one-haa
1t concludes by saying that so far i:
is not asked that owners lay up their
automobiles or that prospective pur-
chasers should refrain from buying,
but only asks a more moderate use
of all machines for pleasure pur-
poses.
1t is pointed out that from the bill
lion and half gallons of gasoline
used for automobile purposes, the
army and navy will need at least
three hundred and fifty million gal
Ions. Upon this basis there must be
a great reduction in consumption and
this warning is issued in the hope
that owners will make the reduction
without it being necessary for the
government to take official action of
a drastic nature
