BONDED WAREHOUSE FOR
WINDER.
On another page of The Times
will he found an article concern
ing the meeting on Friday. Nov.
2S. for the purpose of organizing
and building a bonded storage
Warehouse in Winder.
This is one of the most import-
ant moves ever undertaken tor
Barrow County and adjacent terri
torv. and should haw the hearty
support and approval of all our
citizens.
The Times is glad to know that
tht farmers and business mn are
rallying to this great enterprise
and that numbers of them have al-
ready subscribed stock of SI,OOO
each, many SSOO each and others
from SIOO to S2OO each.
The capital stock will he SIOO.-
000. and if every one who is able
to do so will take stock, there will
be no difficulty in getting the
SIOO,OOO. Fvery farmer and every
business man should feel \ itsdlv
interested, and feel this so strong
ly that he will become a share
holder in this big enterprise.
When a solicitor approaches,
you don't turn him down, but en
courage him by subscribing the
amount you feel able to take, and
then go to work on your friends
and neighbors and get them to
subscribe.
There is nothing that vvi'l be of
more benefit to this section than a
bonded storage warehouse, which
ongiit to be completed and in oper
ation for the next year’s cotton
crop.
ST. JOHN READY FOR
CHRISTMAS.
Mr. S. M. St. John, proprietor
of the big Five & Ten Cents Store,
of Winder, was in The Times offi-,
ce today feeling unusually good
over the wonderful business he
has done during the year, and

Christmas.
Our foreman, Claud Cook, quitj
work and started to St. John’s es
tablishment. followed by Allen
Carrington, our job man, think
ing lie already had the eggnog
prepared.
This brought us to meditating
over the good old Christmas time,
and we told St. John we would
Ijflve to go around also with him.
and He then discovered we all had
misunderstood what he meant,
and began to tell us that it. was
Christmas goods of evevy descrip
tion to make the young and old
happy that was causing him to
feel so good.
lie informed ns his store was
just filled with toys and all kinds
of holiday goods, and that if the
trade eontinued like it had started
he would have to replemish his
stock to meet the demands.

THE BARROW TIMES
IS DEPARTMENTAL WORK
FOR CHILDREN A
SUCCESS?
|t is (piite difficult to discuss a
question in the negative wlrn the
affirmative is generally accepted
as true by those in authority. Yet
! am so thoroughly convinced in
my own mind as to tlie correct
ness of my opinion as regards de
partmental work for children in
our public schools, that 1 shall
| not hesitate to call attention to
what 1 consider a grave injustice
that is being done the children in
our public schools.
The question of department:’’ j
work for the children in the pub-'
lie scltols of Winder was agi'add
a number of years before it was
fli illy adopted. Wit'.ouv, giv;u.r
much thought to the quention, as
is the custom of most, w mum, I
did not then believe il t • b- a
wise move on the par i of <ur
Board of Education. Since being
drawn more closely to the question
by reason of having a child in
school, I am more thoroughly con
vinced than ever that cur lloar l
of Education made a gnnl mis
take when they instituted the de
partmental work in our schools
for the younger grades. .
It will he admitted bv all Hia:
.what appeals to a child of ten.
does not, as a rule, appeal to a
gril l or hoy of fifteen. Where the I
Childlike love will draw a child j
lof ten to a teacher, the teacher
must appeal to the boy or girl of
fifteen thru respect and responsi- j
bility. It is as natural for a child
of ten to concentrate it’s affection
on one teacher as it is for a boy
or girl of fifteen to like or dis-i
like all the teachers. The love of
a child of ten for it’s teacher will
cause that child to do more and
hetter work in one month than it
will in nine for a teacher is far
not love.
It is just as practical to have de
partmental work in the school for
high school pupils as it is impracti
cal for children in the lower grades
Criticism of the teachers is far
from my mind. It is as impossible
for a teacher to teach six or seven
grades, thirty minutes per day,
and obtain the desired results, as
it is impossible for the child of
ten to really know, as it should
I know, it’s teacher, in order to do
the proper work. The teacher
'must be drawn in close contact
with child to render efficient ser-
viee, which is impossible with a
number of grades totalling per
haps more than two hundred pu
jpils. The same situation applies to
[the child where it must be taught
by six or seven teachers each day,
[usually each teacher having a dif
ferent manner of presenting her
idea to the child and in most cases,
an entirely different disposition of
teacher to ho met by the child ev
ery thirty minutes.
As I'have previously stated,
this must not be taken as a criti
cism of the teachers. The Board
of Education is asking something
of them that is an impossibility.
The proper contact with a child
is necessary in all cases for the
best results. How would you mo
thers or fathers feel to hear a
teacher in the school room refer
to your child in the following
manner: “Let that little boy on
the end of the third row stand up
and read," or “Let that little girl
on the first scat go to the board.”
Then in the next breath say,
“Mary, yon may go to the board
also.” Yet, what other method can
the teachers employ if they hav
e’nt been thrown with till the chil
dren sufficiently to learn all their

'names? Can you expect a child to
feel very clcse to it’s teacher
[close enough to it. to even know
it’s given name?
j Some may think the departmen
tal work for children eliminates
the possibility of ‘pets.’ Not only
in the school room, but out of the
[school room, women have always
liked good children and disliked
bad children. Regardless of what
method may be employed in our
schools, our teachers will continue
to like and dislike our children. Tt
usually depends upon the child,
and to a great extent, the way the
child is reared at home.
My only idea in presenting this
matter as member of the Parent-
Teacher's Club in the manner I
am, ia to encourage the parents
to call on the Board of Education
at once and see if this wrong can
not be righted before school opens
in January so that our children
can he pat in the care and under
the leadership of one teacher, re
gardless of whom the teacher may
be.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
NORTH GA. TRULT CO.
GIVES BANQUET TO
EMPLOYEES.
A most enjoyable occasion was
the banquet given the employees
of t>e Ni rth < Joorgia Trust &
Banking Company on Thursday,
the ho instant, a.t the New Win
der hotel by Iht' directors of the
hank This 1r- at had born promis
ed the employees of the hank ,
whenever the deposits subject to
cheek reached one million dollais.
H was disclosed at the meeting
that deposits of the hank had been
running above the million dollar
mark for nearly two months, fie
quentlv running up above the mil
lion-and-a-quarter mark, and that
the total resources of the hank
!stand around a million and a half
I dollars. It was also brought out
at the meeting that the bank did
inot owe a dollar “Bills Payable,
•or “Rediscounts,” and that the
hank had not borrowed a dollar
since last spring. As the President
states: “While its growth Inis been
possibly more rapid than any oth
er hank in (leorgia, this l> nk has
always put the emphasis on “safe
ty” and “soundness.” and its
board of directors have always
striven to throw around its resour
ces every possible safeguard, and
Iwe most conscientiously feel to
night that there is positively no
| stronger or safer bank anywhere
lin which to deposit your money.”
j All of the directors who live in
the ci: . were ores cut. except Mr*.
J. T. Strange, who w*s too ill to
attend, Mr. C <). Nibjaok, who bail
to he out of the city, and l)r. \Y.
L. DeLaPcrricrc, who was kept
away by an urgent business en
igagement. Mr. A. A. Camp, Chair
man of the Bourd, presided in his
usual happy manner. Splendid
short, addresses were mde by Hon.
W. 11. Toole, of the Federal Res
erve Bank; Col. L. C. Russell, At
torney for the hank, M. J. Criffeth
K. L. Woodruff, Claude Mayne,
and others.
A delicious seven course dinner
was served. The decorations and
arrangement of the tabic were
tasteful and attractive, and Mrs.
Land was the recipient of many
congratulatory remarks from the
diners. Winder feels and ought to!
feel honored to have among her!
citizenry such good people as the
Lands, who are capable and al
ways ready t’oi any occasion.
Among other things proposed
at the meeting, it was decided to
have at an early a date as possible
a picnic and barbecue, and invite
all the stockholders and their wiv
es and families. It. is believed that
these get-together meetings do
good, and are very helpful to the
bank.
A vote of encouragement and
congratulations was aeeordded
1 Mr. W. C. Horton, President of
!the bank, who insisted that while
he appreciated beyond his ability
to express himself for this vote,
still the remarkable growth and
\ splendid condition of the hank was
due to the CObperation of every
employee and director of the hank,
all of whom should be included in
such a vote, and that the “North
Georgia” is not in any sense a
one man bank.
