I. r< assem bled Tuesday, January (>, for five more months of real work. The high school department suf fered a severe handicap on the first, day because the severe cold had frozen up the water pipes so that no water could be had for the boiler. However, by the dili gent work of President Barrett and others the situation was re lieved in time to use the Main Building on Wednesday. Boon s in the Boys' Dormitory were used on Tuesday for recitations. The students of the school and the other members of the I culty are congratulating them elves on having Dr. .1. C. Brewton as their Bible teacher for the rest of the term. Dr. Brewton was urged to take this work la t fall, but was unable to do so at that time on account of his work in the 75 Million Campaign. Dr. Brewton will have all the- Bible classes. His broad Txperienc and splendid scholarship make iiis teaching a great treat for those who take the courses in Bible. Several new students entered school at the beginning of the term. Among these were: Ben Alexander of Reidsville; Stephen and Joseph New of Normantown; John A. Bowen of Kastman; Walter Ford ha ni of Dublin; Bar tow Herndon of Dublin; Miss Johnnie Hilbun of Dublin, and Misses Annie Mae and Mattie Lou (JJissen of Daisy. MD-tllil bun was a student before the holidays in the Mary P. Willing ham School at Blue Ridge, (la. The boys’ basket, ball team seems to be coming on in good shape. There has been no trouble since the holidays to get the boys out for practice. Kvery after noon there is a number of bo.\ s waiting on the side lines for an 9 opportunity to In at someone else out of a place on the team. Two splendid teams have been work ing out every afternoon. Ben Alexander, the new student from Reidsville is showing up splen didly for “varsity” material. The others who promise to make the quintette are: Karls Burk halter, Hugh Burch, Blaneoe Mixon, Holmes Piuliolstci Vivi an Stubbs and Belaud Stanford.

Finely upholstered. Plate glass windows. An open car in the spring, summer, and early fall. A closed car in inclement weather and winter. For theatre parties, for social visiting, for touring, and for taking the children to school, it is just what you want. The | low cc tof operation and maintenance is not the least of its charms. A regular Ford car, simple in design, strong in con struction, and durable in service. Won’t you come in and look it over? The comforts of an electric car with the economy of the Ford. P.

A fine i ling about the playing of all the boys is that they are learning the real sportsmanship of basket bad, and are getting themselves to the point where they can take i bumps and slaps without getting angry. It is a real pleasure to see how good-naturedly the boys go thru the practice. We feel, that, the athletics at Brewton- Parker is not only on a boom, but ( that it is serving to a great ex tent the real purpose of such phases of school life. The 8.-P. I. team will again meet the Vidalia on the 8.- P. I. court Friday, January 23. The game promises to be one of I the be-t ever played on the hill, j It is w ith a great deal of pleas- j ure on the part of the friends of th • school that they have recent ly learned that the demands upon the department of music have become greater than can be met. In spite of the fact that Mrs. Tyler and Miss Lee teach from early in the morning till dark in the afternoon, there are ten or more students who are at this time having to leave off music because there is no one to teach them. This speaks well for the I ads of’these departments, and arid we hope tfiat the trustees can soon arrange to have the third music teacher for 8.-P.lll. 1 Mr. Herman Mcßride, who, for the past few months, has been at Flint, Ga., has returned to Mt. Vernon, and at present is filling his old position on The Monitor. Friends are pleased at his return, and through his assistance the paper will soon re turn to its regular standard, Mrs. W. C. Mcßae returned] I it sday morning from Atlanta, ] 1 tving accompanied her son, j 1 b ury, that far on route to Na coochee, where he is a student.' 1 H nry returned home a few days | ago on account of the recent burn-! g of the boys’ dormitory atNa-! coochee. This is a sore loss to i tin institution, it being at pres j ent impossible to house the stu- J dent body. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY. JANUARY 15, 1020 Epping School. Special Correspondence. Thanks to the efforts of some of our most enterprising and pro gressive citizens, our model school building has completed and, resplendent in its newness, “by the wayside rears its painted walls aloft.” Truly, “a thing of beau ty and comfort is a joy forever.” At least so think the boys and girls whose busy feet trip in and out its doors.

Their hospitable home was thrown open to the young peo ple of the community and a num ber of guests from a distance, and good cheer reigned supreme, as the old year passed out and the new one ushered in. The entertainment was most delight ' ful, added to by the music ren dered by Messrs. Smith and Morrison. At a. seasonable hour the feast was spread —ordinarily classed as a turkey supper, with ail that goes with a feast of this class.
