EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
McLellan School News.
Our school is still improving.
Though some of the “ drags ” are
dropping out, new scholars are al
most continually coming in. Last
week we had a new scholar, Mal-
com Goodwin, from Savannah,
and an old one was reclaimed Mon
day. _
The program in both societies
was somewhat shorter than usual
on last Friday afternoon as it was
the day for the monthly election
of officers.
In the Lee society Mr. Will
Tremble -was elected president,
Mr. Walter Dicken, vice-president,
and Miss Collins, secretary. In
the Washington, Mr. Harry Peak
for president, Mr. Olie Wrinkle,
vice-president, and Miss Black,
secretary. With new officers and
new committees we hope for better
work during the next month.
After the societies adjourned a
number of members of both so
cieties, led by Prof. Clary, went
violet hunting and report a fine
time and a lot of flowers.
The advanced spelling class has

spelling.

Dalton Public School—Fifth Grade.
Our grade had a spelling match
last Friday, in which the boys came
off the victors. The girls said
they would beat the boys all to
pieces, but alas for the girls, for
when it came to an end there was
one boy standing and no girl.
The Busy Bee society met last
Friday. Walter Bogle is presi
dent and Nell Chester secretary.
We had a very good society and
the following programme was ren
dered : Recitations by Otto Buch-
holz, Agnes Bryant, John Barnes,
Jessie Calloway, Henry Eichorn,
Ludie Can, Jim DeJournette,
Susie Carter, Sam Graves, May
Coyle, Albert Greer, Hattie Dil-
beck, Arthur Henry, Ora Fincher,
Tom Hickman, Ethel Flimister,
Robert Kirk, Minnie Gregory,
Walter Bogle.
Our grade is trying to win the
prize that the Evening Constitution
is to give. We are all helping
Jim DeJourtette, of this grade, and
we hope to win it. Miss Minnie
Field, of Walker street school, is
going to help us because we are
helping that school.
We had three examinations this
month—one in history, one in
arithmetic and one in spelling.
Several received one hundred in
the examinations, and a number
received ninety-nine and a fraction.
Our teacher says she feels proud
of us, and I think it is a very good
showing for the fifth grade. I
hope we will improve more. I do
not think the attendance has been
much lessened by the rainy weather
last week. I hope our grade will
take the lead it attendance.

CHAUTAUQUA IN SESSION.
Things Which Interest a Georgian as
He Passes Through Florida’s
Principal Cities.
Mt. Dora, Fla., March 27,
1897.—The writer boarded the
Southern at Dalton on the eve
ning of the 23rd inst. and woke
up the next morning well on the
way to Jacksonville. The 24th
was spent in seeing the principal
points of interest in Florida’s
commercial metropolis. Among
other things I called on Mr. Matt
G. Johnson, who "was once fore
man in The A. J. Showalter Co.,
establishment and who is now
working for one of the largest
printing establishments in Jack
sonville. I was glad to find him
improving in health.
At night I went to hear Miss
Ellen Beach Yaw, the “ Califor
nia mocking bird,” who sings a
half octave higher than any other
of the great singers of the world,
and does it with such ease and
produces such a beauty of tone
that one is at once charmed as
well as surprised at her wonder
ful powers in this direction.
On the morning of the 25th I
left Jacksonville for this place,
where is now being held the elev
enth annual assembly of the South
Florida Chautauqua, under the
auspices of the Congregational
church.
Central Florida a few years ago
was wonderfully prosperous in
this section, but the freeze of 1895
killed “ the goose that laid the
golden egg. ” Millions upon mil
lions of dollars being lost bj r the
death of the orange groves which
were all killed in that terrible dis
aster. But the people have shown
remarkable strength of hope and
courage under these trying cir
cumstances, and once a year have
met on these grounds and spent
two weeks in lest for the body
.and a feast for the mind and
heart. The best talent of the
country has been engaged and the
entire work of the Chautauqua
has been thoroughly done to the
great credit of the projectors of it.
The music department has hith
erto been under the direction of
such men as Dr. H. R. Palmer, of
New York city, Prof. C. C. Case,
of Cleveland, Ohio, and others of
this class. This year I am having
my first experience in Chautauqua
work, aud the way the chorus has
started off leads me to hope for a
very pleasant time indeed.
The weather has been very
warm and dry for the past month.
Recently there have been light
showers and now it is quite cool
for this latitude at this season of
the year.
Sending the readers of The
Citizen a cordial greeting from
the “ Land of Flowers ” and “ Per
petual summer,” and wishing ev
eryone-of them health, happiness
and prosperity, I am
Yours cordially,
A. J. Showalter.
The shows this week have been
largely attended.
