The American History classes
took their. monthly test on' the
Revolutionary war Tuesday.
We have started t h e couatry
now and the rest of the year
will be spent in watching it grow.
The eighth grade has had a
contest in Latin for some time
past and it is now over. No one
knows who won.
The sixth chapter of the Junior
Senior story has been turned in
and is best written so far. We
expect to have the story finished
and dressed up a little by Chris
mas. Miss Vaughn promises{
us thatafter that is finished shel
will give us something even more
interesting to do. She says it
will be more interesting than a
play and more fun than a party.
What is it?
The manual department boys
are %:ing the finishimg touches
ont tea tiles. Mg. Beau
champ say® that we will take
up leather modeling and copper
work this week. The reason he
has taught us these three things
is S 0 we can earn money. for
Christmas or make presents
our selves. This work can all
be done with only hammer and
nails. |
Last week the Domestic
Science girls made bread aud
mince-meat. They compared
the cost of making it themselves
with the market price. They are
making out a budget fora man,
earning fifty dollars rer month
to see how cheap he can pro
vide food, clothing and shelter
for himself and family. Of
course we hope that none of the
girls will be confronted with
that problem in after life, but it
is always best to prepare for the
worst. Every thing done in the
domestic science and manual
training is practical.
The ninth grade rejoiced Wednes
day and Thursday as they got out
of taking this Algebra tests these
mornings on account of visitors at
chapel, but they got it and got it
good and proper Friday.
Wednesday morning we had the
privilege of hearing two speakers
on account of the Baptist Conven
tion. The first speaker brought
the message that teaching was not
training and education w as com
posed of both. tle said that if
our parents and teachers could not
train us that we should train our
selves. Dr. Foster of Bessie Tift
school for girls was the principal
speaker. He arrived a trifle late
and excused his tardiness with a
joke on the Ford, which took well
with the students. He got us all
in a good humor and then got
idown to business. His talk was up
on beauty. He said that beauty
was essential in the make-up of a
woman and said that a woman
without beauty was not worth
much: Then he told us what he
meant by beauty. It was the beauty
of the soul he emphasized. The
beauty that makes people around
you happy. Whenever he saw
that anyone was getting tired of
his seriousness he would switch to
the humorous and then back again.
Mr. Foster is certainly a wonderful
talker. He has visited us several
times before and we hope to see
him many times more.
If the pupils of the High school
want to become speakers like Dr.
Foster they had better join the
Literary society. Of course itis a
gift to a certain extent but even
genius must-be developed.
THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, MONDAY, NOV. 22, 1915
A few say that they cannot at
tend literary society meetings on
Friday. Some others don't want to
join our socity for other reasons.
Whky not organize another o ne.
Does anyone remember the stir
ring days of the Stevensonian-La
nier days? It was during the life
of those two rivals that old F. H. S.
was the premier high school of
Georgia. With the talent we have
two literary societies working to
beat each other would certainly
make Fitz-Hi “come back.”
At the meeting of the literary
society last Friday a constitution
’was adopted and the best program
of its existence rendered. There
were no visitors this time. We will
have a even better program next
Friday, it is;
Ethel Mayo—Hidden biography.
| Fay Buckner—School news and
jokes.
Rosalie Patterson—Recitation.
Debate on the subject, “Resolved
that the U. S. should prepare. for
war,” Affirmative—Miss Sarah
McDonald and Herbert Gaskin
Nagative —Miss Bernice Echols,
Elbert Murray and Will Pryor.{
Everybody is invited to attend.
~ How about an inter-class field
meet? Each class ,has some fine
athletes who practice for the dis
trict meet in the spring The
whole school needs some spirit
‘which may be developed by a field
meet after football season Is over.
There is a great deal of contention
among pupils as to which of sever
al is. the fastest sprinter. There
is no way to settle it like settling
it, Let some one take the initiative,
We suggest that each class have
an impromptu meeting of the boys
and appoint a committee from
each class to arrange for a preli
minary contest and make the rules
for the meet. A thing of this kind
will help to show the people of our
city and of neighboring towns
that the present Fitzgerald High
school is just as smart as it was in
the past. |
Let’s get together and cheer-some
more this week. It will do us all
good. :
All the high school ought to
join in the cheer practice every
day this week. It is as much
the duty of the school to practice
yells as it is the duty of teams to
practice signals.
The big game of the season will
be played Thursday, Thanksgiving
Day, against the Fitzgerald All-
Stars. The All-Stars have made
several improvements in their
team since the last game and are
determined to win this last impor
taut game on the schedule. If they
win it will put the hizh school in
a hole, they will have lost three
out of four games played. If they
win they wili finish with a per
cent of five hundred. No previous
K. H 8. team has finisted the
season behind and the present team
does not irtend to ve the exception.
I'bey have been practicing regular
ly and hard for the past week and
will be in the best condition possi
ble Thursday.
Make plans to see this game
whatever else you do on Thanks
giving as it will be the classic and
last offering of the season.

The Leader-Enterprise, |
Fitzgerald, Ga.
Our prosperity is here again under
the Democratic administration. All
the enterprisers and manufacturers
are on a boom from, the North, South,
last and West. There never has been
a time in the history of the United
States that the American people have
been so wonderfully blessed with
prosperity as they are to-day. The la
boring people all have employment
at a fair wage with the manufactur
ers running on full time. The whole
country is being blessed with all the
luxuries of life, with a bountiful sup
ply of eatables to live on, with the
greatest amount of agricultural prod
ucts that the United States has ever
known. \Why should the American
people worry while at peace with all
the world and it being under a Demo
cratic administration and not under
a Republican administration. The
only thing that worries the people is
the political environments that exist
1n the two great parties; one try
iing to predominate over the other.
- Now the financial conditions are
good all over the United States.

ness on, more than we ever have had
in the history of the American gov
ernment. We have more gold in
our treasury tham any other four na
tions in the world.
Our railroads show larger earnings
than they ever have shown before.
The southern railroads have increas
ed their net receipts per mile seventy
seven cents, and the eastrn lines $1.57
per mile. Why should the railroads
kick. :
The trade balance in the treasury
today is $225,000,000. The amount of
gold in our United States treasury is
$2,249,104,500.
Our exports and imports are get
ting to be immense. The Cemmis
sioner of Commerce said that the last
iwcek in October the imports were
i 532.334.430. The exports were $74,-
670,950.
| Politics will soon commence boom
ing up in old Georgia and in the Third
Congressional District. ! was some
whai surprised when I received the
Leader-Enterprise this morning, when
reading over its valuable columns
seeing an announcement of our Hon
orable Thomas Hudson for Congress
'against our present Congressman,
Judge Crisp. 1 thought that Friend
Hudson was a better politician than
to attempt to declare himself a can
didate for Congress against Congress
man Crisp. There is no telling what
the politician will do for notoriety
and publicity. It has been conceded
by a majority of the voters in the
old third district thas no man could
win out who opposed Judge Crisp.
