THE ORIGIN OF OUR PRESENT
SCOOL SYSTEM

SCOOL SYSTEM
Until 1899, Henderson had no Pub
lie Schools. Education was gotten
only through the kindness of a. few
men and women who devoted their
time, very generously, to educating
children in their own private schools.
In 1899 the inhabitants of Hender-
son so thoroughly realized the neccs-
Sity of public schools that in mass
meeting of the pOpulace of Henderson
1t was decided to open public school
system in our own town. Mr.. J. T.
Alderman was chosen for the job of
Experimenting the schools.
So in the year 1899, the Henderson
public school system started. The
old Ford Warehouse on Breckenridge
street was purchased and cut up into
rooms. The warehouse was located
on the site where that home of Mrs.
j. 81. Bagwell stands now. When the
school opened, there were about 300
desks installed, along with some other
equipment. In the first year there
were enrolled about 365 pupils witt,
an average attendance of around 225
In 1903 an exhibit of the work of this
school won a gold medal for being
the best on display at the State Fair
in Raleigh.
This school, however, was very in
adequate, and inconvcnient, so in 1905
it was voted that bonds should be is
sued to the amount of $4,000 with
which our first real school, was
built-"Central Graded School" Cen
trail school was built to accommodate
eleven grades and cost in all around
10000. People laughed at its size
at the time and said it would never
be filled, but in just few years il
proved entirely too small for the num-
Der of children it had to accommO-
date, so wards were put up at North
and South Henderson; but even then
1T was too small so in 1913 another
$4,000 was voted for the erection of
H. H. S. When it was built. there
were some defects such as: Too close
to the street, not enough basement
space, and the toilet arrangements
were not in keeping with the ordi-
nary High School system. North
Henderson, South Henderson, West
End, Clark treet, The Colored School,
and the Teacherage followed. This
1929 is when Henderson had about
the best public schools in the state.
In this year 1929 there were en-
rolled only 1876 in our present High
| School building, with an average at
tendance of 165. This seems mighty
small when compared to our enroll
ment of 400 today, and last month
} the average attendance was 800

Children Without Schools
One hundred thousand children are
deprived of an educational opportun-

schools due to lack of funds. We have
more children and less money. The
net gain of 1882 over 1880 was $4,000
pupils; more than the entire popula-
tion of Montana. Nearly 2OOO schools
in "a states failed to open this fall.

pupils per teacher is over forty The

HUMAN TOUCH
IN BLONDELL
PLAY MARKED
Pat O'Br:e,s Shares
ComedyActionin in
Earle Offering.

Joan BLONDELI, creator OF feni-
nine roles endowed with under
standing, has for setting at the
Earle Theater a play which reveals
her capacity for continuous action.
She appears as a telephone operator
who is accidentally in contact with
q case of grand larceny, and with the
services Of Pat O'Brien, actor Of COM
plete self-assurance, she manages to
ride the storm. In keeping with it's
nature. the play Is called I've Got
Your Number" and overlooking a few
raw places, it is good entertainment.
Glenda Farrell and Allen jenkins also
are in the cast and contribute to the
unfolding Of the story.
Some familiar touches which tie up
the plot with professional racketeers,
who do not stop at minor kidnapping
methods, furnish a melodramatic in
terest, but chief emphasis attaches to
the appearance Of Miss Blondell and
Mr.. O'Brien as partners In one of the
rough-and-ready romances that are
well adapted to the atmosphere of the
screen. They have very few serious
moments in the course Of the story,
but furnish a genuine case Of the at
tachmenJ that customarily results
when a pair of unconventional char
acters is employed in developing I'M
portant things in life. Sometimes the
writing Of a play is achieved without
the distinction in language that might
be employed, but the things of ordi-
nary experience give satisfaction to an
audience, and this Is true of I've Got
Your Number"
Technical exposition of the inner
workings of telephone system is en-
ployed as one feature of the play and
its appeal Is similar to that which has
been produced occasionally when
great fiction writer's turn their atten-
ton TO the scientific side of existence.
On the whole, the quartet of actors is
associated with the display of marked
personalities, offering the pleasure of
studying their ways. Busy hotel life
contributes to q marked element Of
comedy.
Ken Murray heads the stage pro-
gram, and he is ably assisted by
Helen and Milton Charleston and
''Rubberlegs' Edwards, whose talents
are always appreciated by Washing
ton audiences. There Is no end to the
bright touches that they give to the
act, and the elaborateness of their Of
fering is justified by the impressive
contribution that they make to the
gayety of the week.
1t Is notable that the program
throughout represents diversified en-
tertainment and a performance in
which good training counts to a high
degree. Jean Sargent, popular singer,
brings the same colorful characters
tics TO the stage that she has given
to productions, while the acrobatic
work of the Five Maxellos and the
dancing Of the -Four Franks are worth
seeing. The usual short films also are
shown at the Earle. D. G. G.

LARGE CAST
OF ANIMALS
IN THIS ONE
Jungle Beasts Sho's
How to Stage
Real Fights.

Nature In the raw Ia back before
the eyes OF the cinema public again.
And Devil Tiger" now playing at
the Columbia, like its predecessors, Is
anything but mild.
1t Is highly probable that many OF
the exciting fights taking place IN this
film of the struggle Of the survival Of
the fittest were staged. II so, they
were staged in pits lined with jungle
fora so realistic as to completely de-
ceive, and there remains the fact that
in each case the animals concerned
are really putting on grand show.
The fights all end as no-decision af-
fairs, but are nevertheless worth
seeing.
Devil Tiger" Is one of the most
pleasant combinations of travel talk
and downright film drama to be seen
on the screen. When the action is
not, or cannot be described or inter-
preted by the small group of actors,
then only does the commentator come
in with the explanation. OF course,
there is a thread Of a story running
through the film, but 1t is so entirely
obvious that it pales beside things
that are apparently real life drama.
The fight shown here between the al
most extinct Malay lion and a Bengal
tiger, the Jungle's most natural enc
mics, even If provoked by man, is of
more interest than the obviously
staged fight between man and man
for woman.
There are many other odd sights to
be seen in the Malay jungles-mon-
keys having difficulties with giant
crabs, with monkey coming out on the
bitter end; water buffalo conquerine
the giant python after nearly losing
the battle; giant iguana, something
like feet in length. battling to q
standstill with an animal not unlike
the African ant-eater, but isn't; Ben
gal tiger wildly splashing for his life
under water with spotted crocodile
All go to make a continuous round
Of struggle, filling the film with many
growlings and roarings.
And last, but far from least, there
is stampede Of elephants. which, ir

and tells them in politely formal
fashion to go permanently to blazes,
she does it with flashing of the eye
and majesty of bearing that is
genuinely authentic. And when she
rolls up her sleeves and topples the
crown from of of her own head, you
can't help but wonder at the credility
that that act seems to have-her own
lily-white fingers eve suppose they
were) ending a dynasty as easily as If
they were playing marbles.
WHILE Miss Garbo's new film is
Just another beautifully ex-
ecuted historical splurge, superlatively
knit together by Director Reuben
Mamoulian and acted smoothly by
Lewis Stone and to some degree satis-
factorily by Garbo's favorite leading
man, John Gilbert, it Is also the kind
of entertainment that cannot possibly
offend any one-saVe, perhaps, history
professors 1t starts with the death
of Gustavus Adolphus, shows the lit
tie Queen Christina scrambling up
onto her throne, shows her later
grown up, dressed like boy and
bouncing through the snow on horse
back, and then has that amusing
scene at ths inn (probably the peer of
all such scenes), in which there is
only one room left to shelter queen
(in disguise) and a Spanish noble
man.
At this point the picture drops its
history book and settles down to the
kind of romancing which audiences
sit through with greedy eyes, eating
UP each scene and possibly each fin
ger as situations become more and
more "reeskay."
Afterward, we are of the opinion
that the picture does a little back
sliding. 1t is, however, never dull,
nor does it lose its lordly and courtly
trappings except for that scene on the
boat and the earlier scene when Ian
Keith sticks his sword nimbly through
Jack Gilberts heart.
without Garbo some of this might
be as thin as beef-tea soup. But with
her you climb willingly and excitingly
into the realms of the impossible and
miss her sadly after that vast full face
of hers is snatched away from the
screen.
