SCHOOL NEWS OF HENRY COUNTY. A Department Devoted to the ln= terests of all the Schools of the County. Ey 0. 0. Tolleson, County School Superintendent. The Board of Education has ap propriated sufficient funds to em ploy a Canning Club Instructor again this summer for six weeks. The girls in the different schools are already beginning to enroll in the different schools, while the boys are making up the member ship for a record-breaking Corn Clup for 1913. This is one phase of the school work that every farmer’s family at least should be interested in and lend encourage ment to the coming land owners of our country. The County Superintendent spent last Friday morning with Superintendent Miller at Griffin, and the afternoon with Superin tendent Phinazee, of Forsyth, in regard to some school plans to be developed later. The Board of Education meets next Tuesday, March 4th. HAMPTON. Our Rally Day last Friday was quite a success. While the weath er was bad yet we had a good crowd present. The children sang as only Hampton children can and were very attentive to the speak ers. We opened the exercises by singing “My Country ’Tie of Thee” followed by prayer py Rev. J. E. England. Frank Moore spoke on “Washington,” then the school sang “Red, White and Blue.” Mr. W. M. Harris represented the trus tees in relation to the school. The school sang “Dixie,” then Col. T. J. Brown, of McDonough, repre sented the Board of Education of Henry County and gave us quite an encouraging and timely ad dress. He complimented us upon our school pride and interest, and assures us that the county is wide awake to aid not only us, if we need her, but every school in the county. Then Prof. Jere M. Pound spoke for more than an hour as no other man in Georgia can speak upon real educational living. How parents who claim to be deeply interested in the future welfare of their children can fail to hear such speeches when they come free to all, is almost a mystery. However, the Lord will direct the thoughts, so necessary to noble character, into the hearts of some of the children of our state and cause them to be leaders and to be great. This is examination week and it looks as if there must be some “cramming” done. STOCKBRIDGE. Am6ng those who were absent ■a few days last week were: Clara Askew, Lucy Ward, Inez Harrell, Eunice Milam, Ruby Brannan, and Mary Hightower. The recent celebration of “Geor gia Day” brought out the varied talent of the school in readings and music. Friday the different classes were 'made very happy indeed over the beautiful valentines they received; and we all feel very grateful to .kind St. Valentine for having started the delightful custom of sending valentines. The W. F. K. Society met Friday afternoon from two to three. A very nice program on George Washington was rendered by the pupils. The Society was opened by a song, “Mount Vernon Bells”, by the school. Speeches and read ing were much enjoyed by every one. The visitors who were there were Mrs. Vanzandt, Mrs. Price, Mrs. Nora Lee, Mrs. Kenery Owens, Mrs. Sallie Brannan, and Miss llah G. Brannan. The Western Division S. S. A. Meeting. Do you notice what takes place from time to time in and around Hampton? Yon can’t keep a good thing down neither can you, for a long time, keep it hid. The good people of this town rise up as one man and say we will do so and so. The Sunday School interest of our town is growing at bounds and there is a religious feeling which is gradually calling for a revival in our town. Also there is on foot a series of Sunday after noon singings to be held at the Methodist church. Now I want to call your attention t© one of the finest Sunday School programs which is possible to be had in Georgia I may say: We hold our second meeting at the Methodist Church on March 30th. Brother W. D. Sims, State Treas urer and Manager, will be with us. Prof. Wilber Colvin, now of Acworth, will be with us. Prof. E. L. Ray, of Locust Grove, Prof. A. S. Wallis, of Butler, and many of our local Superintendents and teachers will be represented. The singing for the day will be conducted entirely by Prof. Claude Bottoms. Now beat this program if you can? It will be good enough for everybody to hear. Dinner will be served on the ground and you are cordially invited to at tend. Let the Chairmen of the other divisions and as many Superinten dents as possible be present. Also begin to arrange for other meet ings in your divisions. Let’s make Henry County not only second place in name but in service. As Brother Davis and I go from school to school in our division we are gratified to see so much interest manifested in the Sunday School work. We had a real treat at the Sun day School out at Oakland last Sunday. They have a live set of workers and singers out there and we bid them God’s speed. Mem of God, let’s stand firm and at His command ijiarch for ward. Remember our meeting at Hampton and begin to arrange to be with us on March 30th, the date of same. Respectfully, T. J.
