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 told us he was all ready for Christmas.

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 WIMJER, BARROW COUNTV, GA„ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1010 SEABOARD CURTAILS PAS SENGER SERUICE.

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.

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. Those present were: A. A. Camp, A. Y. Eavcnson, M. tt May nard, W. T. Robinson, R. L. Wood ruff, Claud Mayne, W. M. Holsen beok, A. J. Hardigree, W. H. Toole, L. F. Sell, W. C. Horton, W. L.
