Will BEAUTTFY
SCHOOL CAMPUS
Community Meeting Ar.
ranges To Garry Out
Gardener s Plans

In response to Mrs. j. G. Sellars'
call, last Friday afternoon an i'm
portant meeting was held at the Shi-
loh school near Americus, by the
school and church officials to consid-
er the plans made by Mr.. Harvey,
the state extension worker in land
scape gardening, who recently made
plans for these grounds after visiting
the school. The following were
present: Trustees, Messrs. J. A. Dan
iel, W. C. Jordan, T. J. Reid; Coun-
ty Superintendent f. w. Dupree
representing the deacons board of
Shiloh Baptist church, Messrs. J. L.
Daniel, w. L. Rocks, l.. l.. Dupree,
w. e. Pitcher.
1t was decided to begin work beau
tifying the campus at the earliest time
possible, while the grading will be
done in a few days. After the grad
ing of the grounds the community
will meet to set out native trees,
shrubs and plants. Probably some
social features will be added to the
occasion.
Since the Shiloh Baptist church
and the school are on the same tri-
angular block both will work togeth-
er, as usual, showing the fine pub
lie spirit and cooperation of this
community When the plans are exc
cuted this will be one of the most at
tractive spots of the county.
Shiloh is the largest non-consoli-
dated rural school of the county,
having three literary and music
teacher. 1t has enrolled over hum
dred pupils during the term as well
as winning in other respects an envi-
able place.
For some weeks it has been the
purpose of the school to take up this
work, and with the astsance of Mrs.
Olin Williams, the efficient home
extension worker, Mr.. Harvey's serv-
ices were procured.

were the next to go, one by one.
First the roofs came off, then the
porches, the sides and last the floors.
