STEWART F. GELDERS, Ebrror
There was some work done on
the clocks Monday morning but
at last reports the bells were still
rung “humanely” and not auto
matically. It has been more than
a year since the electric system
was working properiy. ;
The Parent-Teachers Associa
tion will probably arrange for
completing the lighting of the
Study Hall. There are sufficient
connections in the ceiling for
perfect lighting of tire big room
but it has never been necessary
to have ilt well lighted so only a
few of the wires are attached to
drops. It is quite probable that
different “circles” will hold meet
ings in the study hall this winter
after dark and the Parent-Teach
ers Association may also find oc
casion to use the room at night.
It is a fine thing to contemplate
the truly marvelous growth of the
Fitzgerald schools during the
past year. From nine hundred to
twelve hundred in school and
from 160 to 215 in High School
1S quite some increase. But al
though it is a gain to be very
proud of, it is no unalloyed poy.
The expense of running the
school on its present basis has'in
creased almost proportionately.
We should this year more than
ever before, be thankful for thc‘l
splendid free system and show
our thanks by being very careful |
with the school’s property. It
seems to be taken for granted to
oet free books and . tuition and
many pupils take no more care
of the school’s property than if
it was their own—and some not
as much. We don’t intend to call
attention to any specific abuse,
for there is none, but merely to a
tendency.
The Senior Class girls brought
their dinners to school Monday, !
which is their day to take Domes
tic Scienge, and remained through
the dinner hour. Most of them
enjoyed the picnic immensely,
thanks to Miss Hauser’s manage
ment.
The bi-monthly periodical nf’
the Wayeross High School,” the
“Sangra,” contains quite an cn—l
thusiastic write-up of their ncwl
Domestic Science Department.
“They are very much pleased with
their teacher, Miss Bernice Ged
des, who was with us last year.
“Their Domestic Science depart
ment. which with us is an estab-
Yished institution, is an innova
tion with many other schools in
larger towns than Fitzgerald.
Merely another evidence of Fitz-
Hi’s superiority.
Mr. Smith, who was at one
time superintendent of the Fitz
gerald schools, visited us Tues
day. The present Senior Class
was in the fourth grade when Mr.
Smith was head of the school but
all remember him well and many
old pupils were glad to see him
again. Mr. Smith is now with the
Heath Book Co. ‘
We have been waiting a long
time for someone to volunieer
news from the ward schools— and
we have waited in vain, We rea
lize, of course, that the pupils are

hard pushed on the one session
lplan, but we would like to get
some live news from the wards
once in a while,
The Senior Class is trying to
reach a decision about the class
rings. A ring costing $4.50 will
''be decided on the design is yet to
|be decided. All the fings which
lare to be chosen from are nice
[ hut they are also “stock models.”
| An original seal or design would
'cost no more and we would be
infinitely more proud of it. Let
| some genius of the class get to
work and design something for
the ring.

| Wednesday afternoon a meet
ling of the boys in High School
was held to bring out volunteers
|fm' the basket ball team. A suf
fficient number of recruits were
lnbtaincd to form several teams.
A new basketball court will be
I| made on the campus and the goals
fixed again. The girls have the
Il)cst court in this section of the
state and we want a court for the
lhuys to fully come up to it.
Prof. Stringer is urging every
one to bring to school the song
books they bought last year so
we can have a choir of 215 instead
of 50. A new order will be sent
in for more song books.
Wednesday mornine Prof. Rick
etson was in charge of chapel and
read a passage from the bible
which is probably fuller of prac
tical meaning than any other in
the book. “Judge not that ye be
not judged.” Why behold the
mote in your brother’s eye and let
the beam in your own pass un
noticed. Just because someone
else does something wrong is no
excuse for you following suit.
The manual training shop is
receiving a great deal of raw lum
ber and is slightly cluttered up
at present. Things are looking
more orderly now and soon all the
cargo will be stowed. The “hold”
of our shop is in the ceiling.
The Presidential election is of
absorbing interest to the iligh
School and did everything . but
take interest from the studies. Of
course we are for Wilson as a
body, but there is a small Hughes
contingent which served to make
the discussion of the election
more interesting. Hurrah ior
Wilson!

RURAL SCHOOLS IN CHAT
HAM BELOW STANDARD
May Consolidate Districts to Im
: . prove Conditions
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 11.—Con
centration of the rural schools of
Chatham county will eventually
become a necessity, it was stated
yesterday by W. W. Mackall, a
member of the Board of Educa
tion, who has been inspecting a
number of the rural schools, in
company with Supt. Gibson and
Assistant Superintendent Fergu
son,
This applies to both the white
and colored schools, he said, if
certain undesirable conditions
which prevail in them are to be
eliminated. It will mean more or
ganization'to have the school con
centrated, he said; will warrant
a better building, a more complete
faculty and better grading.
Some of the school buildings
are not in the best of condition,
he stated, and are decidedly not
up-to-date, in some of them wood
en shutters being substituted for
panes of glass, but in spite of this
fact the pupils seem to be doing
good work.
HEREAFTER 1 shall deposit my
money in The Exchange National
Bank. I see in recent sworn state
ments published in Fitzgeraid papers
that it BEARS EAR-MARKS of
GREAT STRENGTH. I understand,
also, it is an HONOR ROLL BANK.
I don’t know exactly what that
means, but evidently it has done
something EXTRAORDINARY for
the benefit and protection of the pub
lic, or else it would not have AT
TAINED THIS HONOR.—MTr. ,

exchanged between the governor
of Georgia and the Governor of
Michigan, and the mayor of At

lected in Georgia and shipped to

dinner in Atlanta will include
Hon. Robert F. Maddox, toast
mastey; Governor Harris, Mayor
Woodward, Asa G. Candler, Sr.,
Wright Willingham, of Rome,

dinner in Atlanta are being do
nated by loyal Georgians, believ
ing in Georgia products, and' it is
promised to be a very enjoyable
event.
