Concerning Perry Public School.
Afternoon Club Meeting.
Best Way To Plant Cotton.
About four weeks ago an article
written by Mr. R. W. Gamble in
favor of planting cotton in the
water furrow instead of on beds
was published in the Home Jour
nal.
Last week the Macon Telegraph
published an interwiew with Mr.
Frank Woodall on this same sub
ject.
Now here is more testimony on
the same subject, again from
Houston county. Last week Mr.
Jerre H. Davis of Dennard was in
Macon, and Saturday the Tele
graph quotes him as follows:
° “The man who plants his cot
ton on the beds is twenty-five
years behind the times,” said Mr.
Davis as he and a number of farm
ers were talking at Davis’ ware
house yesterday; morning. “I can
testify to the wisdon of Mr .Wood-
all’s plan. All of my neighbors
are planting their cotton in the
water furrow, because I demon
strated to them years ago that cot
ton planted that way could stand
at least 25 per cent, more drouth
and a longer siege of hot, blister
ing weather than if planted on the
bods.
“I have learned another thing,”
continued Mr! Davis, “Land that
is broken with a one-horse plow is
not broken at all. The one-horse
Dixie should be thrown aside. If
a farmer has but one mule, he
ought to club with his neighbor
and get a two-horse plow and
hitch both of their horses to the
same plow to break on both farms.
The man loses money who dosen’t
go down into the earth and make
a bed that will hold moisture when
a ram comes.'
Change In Popular Clothing Firm.
Concerning a business establish-
mena in Macon, popular with
Houston County people, the Tele
graph says:
“Messrs. Benson & Houser, the
up-to-date clothiers, have dissolv
ed co-partnership, Mr. Benson
buying Mr. Houser’s interest and
has associated with himself Mr.
George H. Walker and Mr. C. R.
Moore. There is no better known
clothing man in Macon than
Frank Benson. Mr. Walker has
been in Macon for a number of
years and is very popular, having
been connected with the Union
Dry Goods Company and Burden,
Smith & Company.
“Mr. C. R. Moore was with the
firm of Benson & Houser for sev
eral years, but lately has been on
the road for a manufacturing con
cern. Mr. Moore is a thorough
clothing man and numbers his
friends b,v the score.”

J. H. Davis, Dennard, Ga.
Pupils are requested to be pres
ent the first day of school, as it
is considered best for all to start
together. Those who come in
late, after the work of organizing
and classifying is completed,
bring embarrassment to them
selves and inconvenience to the
teachers. They delude themselves
with the belief that they can
“makeup lost time,” and "catch
up with their classes. The result
is, they fall short in their first ex
amination, then follow discour
agement and general dissatisfac
tion.
On the first day of school it is
often the case that not a few of
the pupils ask to be allowed to
take irregular courses, and base
their requests on parental approv
al. In an elementary school the
selection of studies by young pu
pils is certainly not a wise step,
unless they are afflicted with de
fective sight or delicate health. If
the pupil selecting his course be a
bright one, he can easily gain an
advantage in class-standing, or
fall into a habit of idleness, as
the full course is supposed to be
an approximate measurement of
his student capacity. Further, if
his school days end with the com
pletion of the full course here,he
will have need of all he has gain •
ed from it. and if he .-afterwards
attends college he will find him
self fortunate in the possession of
a good foundation.
The pupils who attend this
school will receive firm but kind,
impartial treatment, and careful,
painstaking attention. It is our
aim and purpose to make the
work of the year as beneficial to
all concerned as can reasonably
be expected. We shall try to
teach the children the art of do
ing things well, and to train them
for useful citizenship.
After school starts it is earnest
ly desired that parents do not al
low their children to attend any
social function given between
Monday morning and Friday
evening. Such occasions are dis
tracting to school children and
seriously interfere with their
work. They will be given Avork to
do at night, directed to duty be-,
fore pleasure, and we ask your co
operation in this important mat
ter.
Those of our friends who may
feel it their duty to criticise and
complain about our methods of
conducting school affairs,we trust
they will either come to us or
send for us, and thus by reason
ing together, face to face, we may
be able to avoid the evils arising
from misunderstandings. Or if
the strain on their patience
should be too great for a personal
interview with the teacher, they
should bring the matter to the at
tention of the Board, who will
give them a patient hearing and
remove the cause of annoyance.
The idea sought to be presented
is this: In nearly every com
munity are patrons thoughtless
enough to criticise the teacher in
the presence of their children.
Granting that the principal of a
school deserves the severe criti
cism, even of one who knows noth
ing about the management of
school matters, the child of the
latter cannot remedy the situa
tion, nor should his ears be used
as a receptacle for the lodgment
of all sorts of censorious com
plaints. Then and there the child
sets up between himself and his
teacher a barrier that cannot be
broken down. Children think
their parents are perfect, and not
a few parents think thus of their
children. Children are the sever
est critics and at the same time
the greatest hero-worshippers.And
yet they are often followed to eith
er extreme. W. W. Driskell.
Mrs. Swanson most beautifully
entertained the Thursday After
noon Club on the 14th.
Enteriug we were so refreshed
by a drink of fruit uectar, the
bright cherries looking like rich,
crimson jewels through the clear
liquid. The game, “A Magazine
of Nousense,” was a verylongjand
hard one, and kept us puzzling for
many minutes. Six papers were
correot, so the prize, a beautiful
engraving, framed, was drawn for.
In the lateness some did not finish
their papers. . Mrs. Will Sims
bore off the prize.
The refreshments were a very
elaborate salad oourse and fine
iced tea. What shall we say of
the roses? Nothing can, be too
beautiful. Great Paul Nerons in
all their pink lovliness gladdened
our eyes.
Mrs. Swansofi and her hand
some mother were more than at
tentive to their, guests.
Wfe adjourned to meet Thurs
day at 4:80, Aug. 28th, with Mrs.
