FIRST WARD P. T. A.

Interesting exercises by the second
grade pupils of Miss Janet Barfield
opened the meeting of the P. T. A.
Mrs. G. w. Turner and Mrs. F. M.
Malcolm in charge as president and
secretary. The treasurer's report
showed a paid membership of 113, a
banner enrolment due tt the recent
drive made by the grades to enlist
their mothers. Expenditures have
been made for flag pole and rope, for
posts and fencing to protect the flow
er beds and shrubbery and for rest
room equipment.
A donation of So to the sixth
grade for help in purchasing bas-
ket ball was voted. Officers elected
for the next school year were Mrs,
David Paulk, for president and Mrs.
w. f. Hoyle for secretary. Delegates
elected for the state convention in
Macon in April were Mrs. G. w. Tur-
ner, Mrs. ]. 7. Hendricks and Miss
Jewel Williams. On adjournment a
social half hour was enjoyed, the sec
ond grade mothers as hostesses with
Mrs. J. T. Hendricks as chairman.
The next meeting will be held out of
usual date to avoid conflict with the
state convention. 1t will probably
be on the third Tuesday of April

OUR AUDITORIUM

At last we have an auditorium, not
quite ready for use but something tc
see and be proud of as the walls now
reach above the window frames anC
the size and slope of the floor and the
stage are discernible. The workmen
say that it can be finished by the first
of May which is welcome news in
deed. The P. T. A. has already a
plan for procuring the stage curtains
and if the committee of the organi-
cations who started an auditorium
fund some years ago will donate their
fund toward the seating, it may be
possible to hold commencement exer-
cises in the new auditorium this year.
Of course there is not enough money
in hand to pay for the entire seating
in cash but perhaps someone can sug-
gest a method that will solve the
problem. The capacity will be about
$50. The stage is large and can take
care of hundred more people such
as might be seated there for COM
mencement occasion, including the
class, the faculty, the school board,
the special speakers and musicians.
Some have complained that the audi
torium is too small but the occasions
are rare indeed when more than 500
people can be interested in one kind
of a program, even commencement.
We suppose the auditorium will be
available on request for demonstra-
tions or entertainments by any of the
grades but not all at once, as the Gus
tom of mastering the entire rank and
file Of school children from the tiniest
to the largest has gone out of date.
This saves the hardship that the little
folks have suffered in former years as
their interest cannot be the same as
their elders and their presence is a
matter of endurance rather than
pleasure when long and mixed pro-
grams are put on for adult audiences.
Youth answers to youth and child
hood to childhood, but praise be the
parents are responsive to either and
both.

FITZGERALD FOLKS SEE
AZELEA EXHIBIT

Flower lovers from surrounding
towns visited Thomasville on Sunday
to see the gorgeous display of bloom
ing azaleas, on the Harry Payne Whit
ney estate. The unusual privilege of
admittance to these grounds was a
concession to the Woman's Club of
Boston, Ga, who acted as hostesses
for the day and received from the Wis
itors free will offering for their club
benefit Hardly less beautiful than
the azaleas were the blooming dog
wood trees on this and adjoining es-
tates. The strictest rules are en-
forced as to driveways and no one is
expected to alight and make free with
the growing things on view, Some of
the local people who enjoyed the visit
were Mrs. Lon Dickey and daughter,
Marcia, Miss Ethel Boyd, Miss Paula
Harrison and Mr.. Alton Harrison;
Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Vinson and son,

ORTHOPHON'
&c VICTROLA SHOWN

The audience at the Woman's Club
room last Friday night Thoroughly
enjoyed the demonstration of the lat
est device in Victrolas, that of auto
matte change of records which allows
undisturbed enjoyment of an hours
program without touching either a
record or the machine during the en-
tire rendition. Mr.. E. H. Schmitzler,
who demonstrated the machine for
the Bradshaw Music company, very
pleasantly explained the operation OF
the automatic device, which seems al
most human in its control. A special
arrangement for rechecking or dis
carding a record from the group as
previously arranged calls for moth
ing more bothersome than pressing a
button. Instantly without a jar or
sound the discarded record slides
into it's leather lined chute and gives
place to the next one of the group.
Another button controlling the light
in the compartment where the auto
matte device is placed is pressed with
the closing of the door so that the
light is automatically turned off in
case it is otherwise neglected which
is still another item of economy added
to those of entertainment and comfort
so we'll provided with the automatic
orthophonic victrolas.

GARDEN DIVISION
ORGANIZED

The first step in departmental work
of the Woman's Club was taken Tues
day in the organizing of garden di-
vision. Mrs. S. G. Pryor was appoint
ed chairman of the department by
Mrs. G. E. Kicker, club president.
Mrs. Pryor chose as sub-chairmen
Mesdames Harold Beall and Stubs
Dorminy. About 16 ladies met for
organization electing Mrs. w. Raw
Inns as secretary, The meetings will
be held on alternate weeks with the
regular club meetings. Any club
member is eligible for membership
in the garden division and following
a precedent of some of the city clubs,
non-club members may also join by
the payment of small fee, probably
25 cents. This concession is made
for the benefit of many women, who
are more interested in flowers and
gardens than in the regular club work
or who have not time for both. The
object, of course, is to stimulate the
making. of more and prettier gardens
throughout the city. A program COM
mittee was appointed composed of
Mesdames Beall, Dorminey and c. M.
Wise. At each meeting new ideas
will be offered, and exchange of sug-
gestions and exchange also of seeds
or plants. Before the next meeting
each member is asked to plant one
new or different thing in her garden
that she had not had before. Proba-
bly, there is greater interest being
taken this Spring in the planting of
beautiful shrubs and flowers in the
home gardens and the parks and pub
lie grounds than has ever been mani
tested before.
