FINE MIS FOB
SIEWIBT GDUNTY’S
SCHOOL JIS WEEK
LUMPKIN, Ga., May 6.—Yesterday,
at the Lumpkin school building was
held an interesting session of com
.mencement exercises of Stewart coun
ty’s public schools, all the schools in
the county, with exception of Lump
kin, Richland and Omaha, closing, and
teachers and pupils all assembled here
for final exercises, each school bring
ir g as nearly as possible, an exhibition
from the various branches taught in
the schools.
The morning was devoted to seeing
the exhibit from the various schools
—these consisting of records kept in
the different branches, essays, maps,
agriculture and needlew'ork. The
work was all interesting, and the con
tests, in spelling, letter writing and
declamation between the schools for
prizes offered were entered into very
enthusiastically by the representa
tives chosen;, the pupils all working
in good-humored rivalry for the
prizes.
The song “Georgia Land,’’ was sung
ly the pupils, and an address made by
Lr. j, s. Wimberly, was much en
joyed. Music for the day was furn
ished by class of Miss Jessie Streyer,
teacher of music in Lumpkin school.
The afternoon was devoted princi
pally to athletic contests; after which
the crowd re-assembled in the audi
torium for the awarding of prizes to
the contestants and diplomas to the
pupils who have finished the seven
grades required by the public schools.
Prizes to the various schools were
awarded as follows:
To the best 2-teacher school, Pa
taula school; with honorable mention
t<. Omaha school.
To the best 1-teacher school exhibit,
Florence, and 2nd beet, Renfroe; with
honorable mention to Providence and
Oconee.
The various exhibits were all most
interesting, and Stewart county cer
tainly ranks among the foremost
counties in the state in educational
matters.
Worthy of especial mention is the
eihibit made by Pataula school, of
which Mrs. C. H. Humber and daughter
are the teachers. This is taught in a
community which bears much of In
dian history, mounds and other relics
being found there to this day, and this
has helped to make the study of Geor
gia history more interesting to the
pupils—they having gotten up an In
dian exhibit, and showing pictures
and sketches of the most noted Indians
in history, and made tents, canoes,
and other articles which were used by
them. In agriculture, among other
things of interest were samples of
twelve varieties of field peas and six
of ground peas, the teachers having
instructed pupils in best uses of dif
ferent varieties, and culture of same.
In their cotton exhibit was shown the
boll and finished products in all things
that are known to be made from cot
ton, including oil, meal, paper, thread
ir white, black and colors, and cloth
in plain and the daintiest fabrics.
The pig club exhribit w r as excep
tionally good, a “model’’ pen having;
been made by the boys, and a “model”|
pig also having been raised by them.
Work done in the literary department■
was also excellent, nine grades hav
ing been taught in this school.
Every exhibit was splendid, but
Pataula school was first prize win
ner.

He is a natural scouut, the kind that knows more of the desert than the
