MOORE SCHOOLS
Armistice Day Fittingly Cele-
ebrated Yesterday By
the Pupils
OTHER SCHOOL NOTES

Armistice Day in the local
schools was appropriately celebrat-
ed by a special assembly called
yesterday, at $50 p. m. The pro-
gram consisted of patriotic songs,
the history of Armistice Day, the
recitation of In Flanders Field"
and an address by DR.. Colona of
Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church
Smyrna. Another feature of the
program was a Pantomine, THE
Bashful Lovers" and duet by
Grier and Grier.-Mr. and Mrs. FL
mer P Corrie, in behalf of the
Sacred Memory of the Grand Army
of the Republic on the 50th Ami
versary of the Auxiliary to the
Sons of Union Veterans of the
Civil War, presented two framed
Flag Salutes" with the pledge
This gift has been accorded prop
er place in the new school library.
The students, the teaching staff
and the Board of Education are
very grateful to the donors for
this gift.-The local schools are
again one hundred per cent enroll
ed in the Junior Red Cross. The
enrolment was forwarded to the
state chairman on Monday, No
vember 6. The amount collected
was S20.47. 1t is very gratifying
to make this report. 1t is an in
dication of the spirit of helpfull-
ness to those who may be in need
during the coming year. The i'm
portant thing is not the amount of
money collected but the training in
citizenship which such a drive pro-
vides. The honor roll for perfect
attendance for the month of Octo-
ber shows a very encouraging in
crease in the number of cases of
perfect attendance. In the high
school with an enrolment of 242
students there were 140 cases of
perfect attendance. This means
that these pupils were neither alb
sent or tardy during the entire
month. In the elementary school
out of 486 pupils enrolled, there
were 302 on the honor roll. In the
kindergarten consisting of 26 pu-
pills, there were IL with perfect at
tendance. In the entire white
school with an enrolment of about
300 pupils, the names of 453 pupils
were reported ON the honor roll for
perfect attendance. Taking into
consideration the entire school
of 900 pupils, there
were 513 or approximately 81 per
cent on the honor roll.-Banking
for the week: Number of pupils in
attendance, 835; number of depos-
itors, 81; amount deposited for the
day, S52.46; amount deposited to
date this school year, S427.25.

Majority Leader Robinson an

The treaty provides limitations on

Not Hurting Base Ball,

PROFESSIONAL base ball people,
who always are willing to view
with alarm any sport that may in
fringe on their business, do not yet
regard soft ball as detrimental to the
older sport. George Sisler, former st.
Louis first baseman and manager, Is
chief promoter of soft ball in the Mis-
souri, city and contends the game is
not affecting attendance at base ball
games. "It draws a different type of
spectator" he explains.
However, one is told that few who
start at soft ball as youngsters ever
graduate into base ball. Undoubtedly
the game does take percentage of
both players and spectators away
from base ball, but there still is a tre-
mendous crop of youngsters coming
along every season for try at pro-
fessional ball.
The world soft ball championships
will be played at Soldier Field, Chi
cago, late this Summer, with 40 State
champions in the contest. The finals
of the tournament drew 100000 here
two years ago, and it is expected that
some of the record foot ball crowds
at Soldier Field will be surpassed by
the soft ballers. One thing is certain,
there are raft of people playing the
game and another raft interested in
seeing 1t played.
