This community was shock
ed on Tuesday evening when

received.
| The young man had accom-

Ward Co., for a load Of feed.
They were on the return trip
and had reached the dangerous
curve and grade at Stay

emily went wrong with the

loaded truck got out of control
of Hall, who was driving.
The truck ran down thegrade
and crashed into an abutment
on the curve with terrific force,
being completely demolished.
Both young men were caught
in the wreckage, Terry being
so terribly crushed as to cause
his death a few minutes after
the accident. Hall sustained
serious, but not fatal injuries,
and was hurried to the hospital
at Lancaster, where he is i'm
proving.
The body of young Terry was
taken in charge by undertaken

later brought to Rising Sun by
undertaken J. Earl Tyson, of
this town.
Funeral services will be held
Friday, Sept. 10, at the home
of the unfortunate young mans
parents, at 200 p. m. Inter-
ment in Brookview cemetery.
Herbert was a member of the
graduating class of Rising Sun

sympathy of this community
is extended his parents and
two brothers, at the sad acct
dent that has taken suddenly
from them a member of their
family circle.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS

Both High and Elementary
schools are continuing to grow
The High school program
is as follows: 9 to 10 a. M, rec
itation period; 10 to II a. M.
recitation period; II a. m. to
~ noon, recitation period; IL
to 12:45 p. M, lunch period;
12:45 to 1:45, recitation pc
Rod; LAS to 2:45, recitation
period; 2:45 to $3.50, activities
period.
Great results are being Sc
cured by not opening the
school building until $3.50 a.
m. Prior to this children have
been running all over the
building, without any super
vision from s o'clock until $50
Under the present system, at
$50, when the building is
opened to pupils, teachers are
in charge of the building.
Children who must arrive at
the school before $3.50, due to
being brought by their parents,
may gain admission to the
building by getting permission
from the principal. Parents
please cooperate and help
make this our best school year.
The shortened noon period
is also proving very much
worth while. Over fifty per
cent of our school are children
from rural sections, as a 'result
it is almost impossible to prop
erly supervise a large group
for a long period of time over
the noon hour.
Teachers and pupils of the
High School are becoming very
enthusiastic about our present
hour period plan. The pupils
almost unanimously agree that
their school day is being used
to better advantage with this
plan. The following are some
of the advantages which are
being secured by this plan:
A. Less general study period.
which have been often periods
of time wasting. B. Three
hundred minutes per week in
each academic subject, as
against 200 last year. Part of
each hour period devoted to dl-
rected study in charge of the
teacher of the subject. d.
Longer time available for the
teachers to make worth while
assignments, not only giving
the pupils directions, but also
explaining to them how to do
the assignment, and actually
having the pupil begin the as
signment under direction of
the teacher. E. Provides for a
As minute period of the school
day for athletics and other ac-
tivities. If these things are
worth having, and we agree
they are, they should be direct
ed and conducted like other
types of school work, by the
teachers n Gives an OnnOrtu-
nifty for slower group of pupils
to get more help from the
teacher, and an opportunity
for the faster group to get more
and richer material.
The teachers of the High
and Elementary School voted
to hold the annual school sup
per on Friday evening, Sept.
26. from $50 to $3.50. Ticket
for supper 80 cents.
