In Americas" Excellent Sjretem »l Public Schools—More Boom xml More Texrhere tube Added-The Doing. of the Seeelun Told In Detail. Yesterday the board of education of Americas held an important meeting .electing teachers for the ensuing year and transacting other matters of im portant*. It is proposed to make the course which is taught at the schools more complete than it Is at present—and Americus already has the best school system in Georgia. Looking to the end named these matters were left to the committee of the board on schools. Whether or not Latin he begun in the grammar schools, so that when pu pils reach the high school they will be prepared to read the easier classics. The question of introducing in the high school department the studies of Greek or French was also left to that committee. Then too, this committee is to decide whether or not the reading of music shall be taught in all grades, s It is more than probable that the com mittee will decide affirmatively on all of these questions, that is that all the pro posed changes and additions be made, which decision will have the effect of greatly increasing the efficiency of the schools. All the extra rooms in the Jackson- street school building were ordered fitted up with new desks and other now furni ture. It was directed and ordered that furniture enough to supply at least four rooms be bought and put in position at once. That will givo a place for a large number of pupils who could not be oc commodated during the term just ended. It was also ordered that four addi tional rooms be added to the McCoy- hill school building. Teachers license were granted those ladies, who passed successful examina tions: Miss Genevieve Adams, high school teachers license. Misses Hattie A. Clarke, Annie B. Ansley, Sallye Alex ander and Kate Mize were granted gram mar school teachers’ licenses. Colored school teachors’ licenses were granted to Ellen Maude Nell, Lula B. Cook, Elizabeth Banton and Osceola Thompson. The board then elected a superintend, ent and teachers os follows: Superintendent—A. J. M. Bizlen. Teachers, Jackson-streetsohool—J. E. Mathis principal high school; George J. Winkler teacher of ninth grade high school; Miss Sallle Wheeler teacher of eighth grade high school; Miss Lannie Adams teacher of seventh grade gram mar school. The following were also elected, but were not assigned grades. That will soon bo done at a meeting of the board of education. The teachers are: Misses Annie Ansley, Lily Browne, S. R. Cowles, Hattie A. Clarke, Stella Dunn, Mrs. Emma L. Guthrie, Misses Annie Gyles, Annie McLaughlin, Susie Taylor and Mrs. D. T. Wilson. An assistant teaoher for the Jackson street school, to which position a regu lar salary Is attaohed, will be elected at the next meeting of the board. * It will be seen that the number of . teaohers has been Increased, as well as the seating capaolty of the sehools. Those of the teachers who were regu larly employed last year whose grades have not yet been assigned will be paid at the rate of ISO per month. Misses Ansley, Clarke, Dunn and McLaughlin will be paid at the rate of HO per month. These teachers were elected for the oolorad schools: C. A. Catledge, prin cipal and teacher of the grammar grades, Minnie Jenkins teacher of the fifth grade, Willie Catledge and Osceola Thompson teachers of the fourth grade, Lucy Phillips and Lou Collier teachers of the third grade, Lula B. Cook, Ellen Mand Nell and Mattie Hughes teachers seoond grade, Viola Hart, Elizabeth Banton and Laura Jefferson. The board could have done no better than to have chosen the teachers whom It re-elected. This Is especially true of the superintendent. The election of the other teachers can’t but meet the ap proval of the people of Americus. COTTON DYING. Killed by a Barber WIth n the Corporate j Limits of Americas Yesterday. A monster rattlesnake was killed near j the S. A. M. railroad trestle over Mucka- j lee creek yesterday morning by Dave , Kendrick, a colored barber who works j at Anderson A Lunsfords* shop. Dava was quietly wolking along toward ■ the city when bis attention was attract- J ed to something moving at his feet in j the grass. On looking down be saw the snake right at his feet Dave got a move on him for once, until he got out of reach, when he secured a rail and mashed the monster's head. The snake measured live feet, and had fourteen rattles. Ae was brought to town and attracted quite a crowd whose curiosity was aroused by a huge bulge about middle way of the snake as if it had swallowed something. This brought the dissecting knife into service, and when the snake was opened a rabbit, nearly grown was exposed to view. It then puzzled the assembled crowd to know how the snake managed to swallow so large an animal, but It was enough to know that it had really swal lowed the rabbit, and each one had his opining as to how it was doue. for Infants and Children.
