“An Evening in Hawaii,” an original musical production to be given at the coming Redpath Chautauqua by Vierra's
Hawaiians, instrumentalisiz and singers, portrays most vividly the music and customs of Hawaii.
With the aid of novel lighting and scenic effects and appropriate costuming, an atmosphere of artistic beauty
and realism is secured. In this setting Vierra’s Hawaiians play the instruments peculiar to llawaii, among them the
steel guitar. Most expressively they sigg the songs that are a part of the true Hawaii,
COUNTY SCHOOLS ;
SHOW INCREASES |

FOR YEAR IN CRISP/
NEW FAMILIES FROM OTHER
SECTIONS ON CRISP COUNTYj
FARMS HELP INCREASE COUN-,;
TY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. !
The January 1926 envollment of'
1432 white pupils in' the county
schools shows an increase of 1%2
pupils over the enroliment for
January 1925. !
The February 1926 enrollment
.shows an increase of 182 pupils ovpr;
the enrollment for February 1925.
The March 1926 enrollment shows
an increase of 104 pupils over the
énrollment for March 1925. :
The combined enrollment for the
months of January, February and
March 1926, shows an average in-!
creased enrollment of 153 pupils
over the same three months of 1925.,
Likewise for the past six months,
the average monthly increased en-'
rollment shows a gain of 138 pupils
in the county schools.
The total enrollment in all thay
county schools would show even a
greater gain, but a fairer and more
accurate method is to use the month-'
ly enrollment
The gain is more or less uniform
throughout the county, with some
schools slightly more effected than
others, Three schools show a loss of
only 16 pupils, while all other;
schools show slight gains. i
Some of the gain may be account
ed for by a better attendance on
the part of the pupils already in the
county, but undoubtedly the gain is
also accounted for by families
moving from other sections on Crisp
county farms. i
Some few families who have!
moved on Crisp county farms could
- not move and get straight in time to
put their children in school as is
known to. be the ‘case with some fow
~families, otherwise the increase
would have been a little more mark
ed. ¥ »
While the enrollment in the Cor
dele public schools is still a- little
- below normal, there are indications:
- of a sufficient gain in the near fu
| ture to bring the enrollment back up!'
. and above the present number.
The above information given by
Supt. J. W. Bivins of the county
| schools, but he also contends that it
| likewise shows a tendency in the di.
| rection of an increase in the white
population unon the farms of Crisp
I county.
The above figures seem to ind;
| cate that the increase has been
steady and gradual for the past six
months, and verfies the optimistic
view taken by many that the county
- of Crisp and this section of Georgia
| are again forging to the front and
l bound to increase more rapidly as
the tide of population continues to

160 CHURCH MEMRERS
EVANGELIST DIRECTS STRONG
PLEADING TO THOSE WHO BE

“The Sinner in the Camp” was the
theme of Kvangelist Lovein at the
Methodist church last night as he
preached a powerful sermon on “Ach
an”, from the book of Joshua; Tth
chapter and 13th versz. The sermon
‘was a direct appeal to members of
the church whese lives have heen in-
I(vnnsislvm, with the high professions
they had to make when thcy wer
admitted injo the church.
“It is mnot the man outside the
church that we need to fear” said Mr.
Lovein, “but it is the man or woman
in the church. It was not an enemy
outside the camp of Israel that
brought defeat to the army of the
Lord, but it was Achan, a soldier of
Israel, who stole the garment and
the golden wedge.
“And if a man ever lived who had a
chance to sin and get away with it
without being detected, that man was

TWENTY-ONE.. NATIONS. REPRE
SENTED .IN PAN-AMERICAN'
i NEWSPAPER UNION |
. WASHINGTON, Apr. 8 (#)—With
Presidzant Ceolidge zzs'_t'.hu principal
gpeaker the first Pan-American con
gress of journalists was embarked to
day upon the task of studying various
problems confronting thz press of
the twenty-one republics represented
with a viaw of working for a better
understanding among their nations.
Speaking of the increased inter
change of news among the American
nations in recent years, Mr. Coolidge
declared this awakening of interest
'.,_ 1 b en “one of the most important
‘factors in bringing about a hetter un
t']“l‘flt‘)n(fill{.’,‘" of the several countries.
; “I venture the prediction,” he add
ad, “that as a result of this congress
'the papers in the United States in
K!';w future wiil present more complete
and more accurate pictures of the cul
tural and industrial progress of Latin
America, and that the press of those
{ republics will give their readers a bet
"ter understanding of the ideals ‘and
purposes of the United States.
. “If all our citizens here do not real
o fully that T.atin America is as
sorogressive as the Udited States; and
it some Latin Americans, as 1 have
been told is the case, are prone to
fecl that this country ig interested in
material - things alone, I am sure it
may be explained by the lack of that
knowledge which comes from person
al contact through travel and hv the
mutual inadaquacy of news reports of
the significant facts and develop
ments in the respective countries.”
The Congress, Mr. Coolidge said,
‘should result in a better comprehen
sion that, “after all, we of th. West
lern Hemisphere are one people striv
ing for a common purpose, animated
i by common ideals and bound together
[in a common destiny. Unto us has
4"l'-'?‘!1 begueathied the precious herit
f}'lge and the high obligation of devel
moping and consecrating a new world
11,0 the great cause of humanity.”
Speaking particularly to the dele
gates present from othor ccuntries,
Mr. Conlidee expressed the hope that
their vigit to this country “will he
beneficial to you by reason of what
you may learn of our general mode
of life.’
| In referring to the ideals and the
purpose of the Pan-American Union
he said the newspapers “may do much
to emphasize and. make more effec
tive the cfforts of this organization
to bring the United States and the
Latin American republics into cloger
bonds of mutual helpfulness.”
Achan. No human eve saw what he
did. Humanly speaking, it was ut
terly impossible to detect him. DBut
I warn you,” said the evangelist, “that
yHhe eyes of God never cloge, nothing
‘nv:-r escapes his notice, God discov
‘ored Achan to Joghua and had Joshua
destroy not Achan alone, but all that
Lelonged to Achan.”
" Mr. Lovein then made an earnest
apncal to the members of the church
| to separate themselves from the world
yand to give themselves wholly to God
!s0 that no charge of disloyalty could
‘be 12id to them, so that no responsi
bility for failure might be luid in
their hands. 1t is evident that these
messares of the evangelist are going
home to the large congregations who
are hearing him and it is confidently
oxrected that the whole city will bae
influenced and stirved by his earnest
Lappeals,
