the upbuilding of New Forest school.
Now then, with our beautiful, spa

AGRICULTURAL SCHOj
OPENS WED'
The Eleventh District Agricultural .
School, as announced last week in j
The Enterprise, will open its doors j
next Wednesday morning, September |
loth.
Prof. Powell, the principal, expects !
a matriculation of 75, which will be |
increased to 100 in the first thirty j
days. An enrollment of something j
like 136 is expected by the holidays. |
We present on this page three pho- j
tographs of the school buildings and 1
the principal features of the school. !
The military feature will be given I
special attention, as well as the work 1
prescribed for the girls.
The following article appeared in a :
district paper, which shows the inter- I
est outside counties are taking in this
school:
FIRST CLASS SCHOOL
IN ELEVENTH DISTRICT
(From Quitman Free Press.)
Do you know that in the Eleventh
District Agricultural School at Doug
las, the people of this section have
one of the best schools m the south ?
A talk with the principal, Mr. J. W.
Powell, who was in Quitman several
days ago, is amply convincing of this
fact.
The standard of the school has been I
raised and it is in the A 1 class of j
Southern High Schools, which means ,
that a diploma from this school en
titles a pupil to entrance in college *
without examination. While the reg- 1
ular high school course n English, j
mathematics, science, Latin, is up to 1
the highest standard, it is not these j
studies about which Mr. Powell is
most enthusiastic. He says:
“A good many people seem to have
the idea that agriculture, home eco
! nomics and the mechanical sciences

“The boys are not only
i theory of agriculture, nut in school
I fields they put theories into practice,
i The girls are taught the chemistry of
cooking, how to get a well balanced
and nourishing meal at the least cost.
You would be surprised to see a girl
come to the school with no idea of
preparing and serving a meal, learn
quickly the best methods of cooking
and serving. Domestic work is not
drudgery when the girls are taug.it
the proper way to do it. They also
learn to design and make their clothes
j and seem to enjoy it thoroughly.
| “This domestic science work is so
i high the girls go from our school to
the Junior class at Milledgeville. One
of our boys led 67 applicants in the
state teachers examination at Way
cross this year. We fit our pupils to
enter college but if they do not go to
college, they have a thorough alb
round education after finishing at our
school.”
Mr. Powell spent several days here
visiting various points in the coun
ty. He had heard much of Brooks
county progress and said he felt the
work the school ir doing would ap
peal to the Brooks coumy boys and
girls. In another column this is
