THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CORNER

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CORNER
(By County Supt. S. II. Spencer)
For some time it has been my be-
lief that much good can be accom-
plished, particularly in school better
ment, by a frequent and suggestive
use OF our county newspapers. The
editors OF these papers have readily
and generously met the suggestion
for school Corner" in their papers,
irons and myself for the publication
of school articles. suggestions and
compliments.
Personally, desire that the schools
shall be benefited by knowing each
others good points. s.-only the indi-
vidual schools themselves being told
their weak or inferior points. Since.
also, many parents do not visit their
schools 1t will thus be possible In a
measure for us to have the schools
visit the parents.
Again, for us to know the accom-
plishments of others engaged in the
same vocation we have chosen is for
us to be encouraged and spurred TO
greater efforts. Rivalry in healthy and
right-spirited quantities is one of the
most indicative and promotive signs
OF progress to be found, while earn
est efforts are never without reward
The Corner" then, selicits from
you, teachers and patrons of all the
county schools, the good things you
encounter, the school questions of
public interest you have TO ask and
the praises of merit you have to sing
Let's present our bouquets to living

pull together for the end universally
desired
To the Teachers:
Undoubtedly there il much good
can be done the pupils under our di-
rection by our suggestion of suitable
books for them to read. We are thus
not only presenting wholesome stor-
les to them but are also helping
them to form reading habit.
suggest that boys and girls be en-
couraged to do supplementary read
] ing in connection with their school
subjects. I am submitting short lists
of suitable supplementary readings
for history and geography and also a
list of other good books.
It will not be difficult for the teach
er. to keep monthly record of pupils
readings and at the end of each
month give the pupil an extra credit
Of two per cent on his monthly grade
for every 100 pages of supplementary
reading. / ask that the teachers keep
such a record and that the pupils

PLENTY ot WOOD IN
 THIS VICINITY FOR ALL
Business Men Offer to Help Relieve Fuel Shortage If People Will Cut
 and Haul the Wood.

| There is very little excuse for any able-bOdied man complaining of the cold in this city this winter. for a number of prominent business men have responded to the call issued by County Fuel Administrator Harry I. Holderness and offered to give wood from their lands to the people of this city and vicinity, provided they wil' cut and haul it.
 MT. Holderness stated that there are 1000 cords of wood, already cut, on the lands belonging to Dr. O. w. Clark west of the Arkansas Short Leaf Lum' ber Company, and anyone applying to that physician may have this wood if they Will haul it.
 Reese N. Burks, a prominent planter of this section; N. A. Anderson of the Southern Oil Company, and the off cials of the R. H. M. Mills & Co. have offered to contribute wood from their lands. Mir. Anderson has rendered the use of a truck and the services of one man for one day, should they be needed.
 This will greatly relieve the fuel situation, and if the coal and gas shortage becomes so very serious it is expected that a number of the local managers of industrial plants will avail themselves of this opportunity to keep in operation.

Quality of Knowledge Counts.

What is needed to elevate the soM
 Is, not that a man should know all
 that has been thought and written in regard to the spiritual nature-not that man should become an ency- clopedia; but that the great idea, in which all discoveries terminate, which sum up all sciences. which the philos. opher extracts from infinite details, may be comprehended and felt, quotes William Ellery Charming. It is not the quantity, but the quality of knowl- edge, which determines the minds dig nifty. A great mind is formed by few great ideas, not by an infln- ity of loose details. have known very learned men, who seemed to me very poor in intellect, because they had no grand thoughts. The illumin. ation of an age does not consist in the amount of its knowledge, but in the broad and noble principles of which that knowledge is the foundation and inspirer. ..#-.

Purest 1rish Blood.

The purest irish blood is not to bs found in Galway proper, for the town was long held by the English, and cen. turies ago it did an immense trade with Spain that resulted in mixed mar. riages, producing sundry heads of black hair and black eyes. But across the little river, by the bay, is a fishers colony where the oldest Irish blood is still pure. This little group have mar. Tied strictly among themselves, and their stock is said to go back to Irisb natives who even antedateI the Irish Celts.

As 1t Should Be.

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence; 1; it is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious cold ness which this world forces us to war in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communica- tions of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of ten derness gush out without any sensa' ton of awkwardness, and without any dread of ridicule.-F. w. Robertson.

When Fruit Juices Are of Value.

Fruit is recommended especially for the rheumatic, gouty, arteriosclerotic (preliminary period) and numerous other classes of invalids, for its con- tent of organic acids. Curiously enough, 1t appears to have value in chronic diarrhoea and even irritable stomach. although it would seem to be contraindicated. "Where there Is danger of dehuency disease, as in the case oe bottle fed infants, sailors, etc., the value of fruit juices is also well- known. Hence certain classes of sub- jects profit by being fruitarians to a considerable extent, but exclusive fruitarianism is chimera for many reasons. Exotic fruits are always ex- pensive-even the banana delivered in the Northern states Is not alwayG cheap when reckoned by calory cost. Exchange.

PRIVATE SCHOOL ID
 OPEN 0N OCTOBER 1

Taking small classes that they might give individual instruction, Mrs. Vic tor Redewill and Mrs. Herbert C. Par sons will open a private school in Phoe- nix on October l. The first and second grade work, the full public school course, will be taught only during the forenoons, leaving the afternoons free for outdoor play.
 Mrs. Parsons has maintained pri- Vdte school during the past year and will continue her sixth grade work 8 few months longer, at which time she and Mrs. Redewill will give their en- .le attention to first and second grades. This is new feature in pri- vate school work in this city for one teacher to give all her time to one grade which is of unquestionable ad vantage to the children.
 Both Mrs. Redewill and Mrs Parsons are college women, have had experience in public school and private teaching, and both have substituted in the Phoe- nix city schools and hence are in close touch with grade work
