Vacations.
Fourteen boys and twenty-three
girls will receive diplomas at the Sew
enth District A. &. M. School next
Tuesday, having completed safisfac-
torily the prescribed four years
course
These 81 girls and boys will go out
into the world with practical lmowl-
edge and training above the average
for young people of their age. The A.
| q M. School is one of the most use~
full and practical schools in our coun-
try and tn efficiency of the seventh
District school is we'll known and ap-
preciated by the people of every coun-
ty it represents.
Nearly 800 students were enrolled
during the past year and received in
structions not only in literary edu-
cation, but were trained in useful we
cation which they may immediate
ly follow on leaving school.
A capable and we'll organized fac
ulty has added to the thoroughness in
which the students have been train
ed.
A splendid High School course is
taught, but the practical side Of life
is stressed. A girl may elect not to
study language, but she is obliged
to study Domestic Science! A boy
may drop Latin but he must study ag-
riculture!
There is an enrolment Of 287, and
out of that number az are from Cobb
county, and on the roll Of 81 gradu-
ates, are from Cobb, which shows
the good this 7th district school is
doing in our own county. But it is
not enough, for there are a number
of towns and settlements in Cobb that
are not represented at all and it is
a great pity, for all not to take adj
vantage Of this wonderful opportun-
ity for q thorough practical eduear
! ton.
Domestic Science.
Miss Pauline Able, appropriate
namely of G. N. & I. c., is the very
efficient and enthusiastic young tea
cher of Domestic Science. She is q
niece of Miss Lora B. Abel, long time
Head of Domestic Science at G. Nc
!. c., and she inherits her distinguish
ed aunt's talent and ability to impart
knowledge, for she has worked won
ders with the girls.

tion) absolutely ignorant of the art
of sewing, don't know which finger
wears the thimble, don't know which

Miss Abel begins with teaching
'hem the elementary stitches, the
simplest forms Of needlework. The
class PROGRESSES from outlining, to
hemming towels, from making laun-
dry bags to hemstitching bureau
scarfs, finishing the first year with
the neatest, of bungalow aprons.
1t must be remembered that these
children have only two lessons week!
The Sophomores begin with plain
underwear, progressing to bought en-
broidery and lace ruffles, most attrac-
tive kimonas, learning to use pat
terms and finally wind up with simple
but pretty Bingham dresses.
The Juniors are quite ambitions:
they have lovely lingerie with much
hand embroidery, cross-stitching, fea-
Their stitching, etc; at first they stick
to the patterns in stylish frocks, thew
make, but add many original touches
and changes, finally discarding them
altogether. They end the years WORK
with the making of tucked and ruf-
fled organdies that are as attractive
dresses Of the kind as could be. found
in any big department store.
The Seniors make beautiful appli-
que spreads and bedroom sets. en-
