FORT EARLY CHAPTER BESTOWS
MEDALS AND PRIZES.
At teh opening of the fall season,
for the children’s Saturday matinee
at the Palace Theatre, Fort Early
chapter offered several prizes to the
schools of the city, to get the children
‘nterested in these special pictures.
For the best essay written from the
High School on Scott’s beautiful clas
sic, “The Lady of the Lake,” after
hearing story and seeing it on screen,
2 $2.50 gold piece was offered. For
‘he same work from the grammar
schools of the city four little medals
in the form of gold enameled Ameri
can flags were offered. Much inter
ost was manifested in this contest
and excellent papers were sent in to
the chapter. The papers were signed
by numbers instead of name of writ
ar, so the committee handling same,
had no chance to know the author of
the different papers. After careful
consideration and grading it was found
that the paper written by Ruth Scan
drett had won the High School prize
of $2.50 in gold. 'The winners from
the grammar schools for the gold flags
were: O'Neal school, 6 B, Lillian Har
bin; sth B, Victor Cox; Northern
Heights school, Susie Shipp, Fannie
Mae Parrish. These medals and
nrizes were delivered to the happy
winners last Tuesday morning at the
opening of the schools. In the box
with each little flag was this message
‘rom President Wilson: “Wear a lit
‘le flag of the Union everyday. If you
lose the physical emblem wear it in

DELIGHTFUL MUSICALE.
Miss Helen Rosser entertained at
her initial piano recital Friday after
noon, introducing her pupils in a de
lightful musicale. Parents of the pupils
and other friends were invited and
the guest list was large. Decorations
were ferns, pot plants and flowers,
and the rooms were darkened and light
ed with incadescent lights adding ef
fectiveness to the occasion.
While it was difficult to determine
those among the pupils who had
shown the most progress, rings were
presented little Misses Cordie Persall
and Ruby Nobles for this honor. The
excellent accomplishments of all of
the pupils prompted Miss Rosser to
present each of them a Chinese sacred
lily bulb with an appropriate verse,
written by Mr. A. M. Stead especially
for the occasion, the lines of which
run as follows:
This little bulb without an effort
Will unfold a fragrant flower;
But remember this, my child,
Has never been a mortal’s dower.
As the scene and paint and canvas
Depend upon the artist’s skill
So each vibrant chord in music
Demands thy effort and thy will.
Mrs. J. S. Comer delievered the prizes,
)and at the close of the program deli
cious hot chocolate and a salad course
were served, Marie Stead, Ruby No
bles and Emmie Lou Roberts and
Cordie Persall assisting the hostess in
this .
Miss Rosser abserves a kindergarten
system which is most attractive for
the children. Paper dolls represent
ing the notes by the name of each,
are attached to a miniature fence, en
abling the pupils to learn readily
through this impressive illustration.

pupil assisted on the program.
