Dunbar is always proud to well

Society represents group OF
Christian business men who have
come together to assist in the

pressive thing about the Gideon

it seems matter of work from
the heart instead of merely being
seen. One business man, Mr..

he is we'll known by his method
OF fair play in business deals. Re-
gardless of race, Mr.. Brawner is

Stephens School

Fire Prevention Week was OBJ
served this week. A talk by the
Fire Chief, movie, and visits
by number of the students to
the fire stations where Open
House was held, were among the
activities. A Fire Prevention AS
sembly sponsored by the Mont
tors Club closed the observance.
During the year, Stephens will
carry out an adopted policy of
keeping patrons informed as to
the methods of instruction of their
children. Parents are urged to
visit the school and attend PTA
meetings so that they may know
what is being done.
Last week mothers of Stephens
Schools beginners received a bet
ter understanding of why methods
of teaching are different now
from what they were when they
were in school. Through a very
interesting and lively symposium,
questions of interest pertaining to
Institutional procedures now used
with beginners were asked by
Mesdames Waugh and Walls, rep
resenting the parents. The ques-
tons were discussed by the two
first grade teachers, Mesdames
Green and Hall.
