SCHOOL NEWS
CO-OPERATING WITH THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The parents of the school children
iarc so keenly anxious to see the young
sters make good progress, that they
frequently find fault unjustly with the
public schoo!s, But with our good
schools here in Fitzgerald and in the
rural districts if pupils fail to make
progress, in the majority of cases the
trouble is with the parents the homes
or public sentiment, rather than with
the teachers, -
It makes a big difference to the
school workers, whether or not they
get the right kind of home and com
munity support. If the discipline of the
schools is supported in the homes, if
the parents co-operate in a personal
way, if the community values and
honors and supports its teachers, their‘
power to attain results is greatly in
creased—Editor, 1
HIGH SCHOOL
We desire to call attention to the
Commercial course which is now be
ing offered in our High School, Stu
dents of the Tenth and Eleventh grade!
are permitted to elect enough work
in this department each year to en
able them to receive a commercial
diploma at the end of the second year,
Work in this department is restricted
to these grades because much more
satisfactory work can be done when
the student has a good foundation
4ipon which to build, In addition to
the regular High school students, we
have a number of students who are
taking the regular commercial course,
No restriction is placed upon thcsc‘
students except that they have suffi
cient preparation to enable them to
do the work satisfactorily, It is not
at all necessary for any of our boys
or girls to go to a regular business
college and any who are thinking of
doing so, should investigate the work
we are doing before matriculating else
where, We are now giving a stand
ard course of study with a curriculum
equal to any business college in the
South.
Arrangements are being made to make
this department a member of accred
ited business schools and we have al
‘rcady arranged to register this depart
’mcnt with the New York office, giv
ing our students free titerature and
test material monthly, allowing them to
enter all contests given out from that
office in typewriting,
At the end of the term the books
of the bpookkeeping students will be
examined and all students mecting
the requirements will receive a pro
ficiency certificate from the author of
the text they are now studying, In
the shorthand department students
will be forced to meet the require
ments of a stenographer or commer
cial teacher before being allowed to
graduate,
The work done in this department
doesnot weaken the regular High‘
School work but strengthens ig, giv
ing those students who wish to take
a course in the school ot commerce
of any of our colleges or universities
an opportunity to prepare for that
work, It also gives those who expect
to enter the business world an oppor
tunity to remain at home and at the
same time complete their preparation,
FIRST WARD SCHOOL
Though the First Ward School has
not been heard from lately we are
still moving along as Bre'r Terrapin

forward to next week’s examinations
with less fear as the fright of their
first examinations is over and they

orations very much. Several of the

appearance of their room by making
some flower stands, which the whole
room appreciates very much,
- Miss Van Gorders section of the
Third Grade has just finished a ser=
ies of language lessons on “Our;
Homes”, These lessons have been
made very interesting through the
use of the sandtable and posters,

Products” and ““Wheat have just
been completed,
The new blackboard and work table
has been put in the second grade
room, The children are very proud
of both, In free hand drawing from
nature they have studied cattails and
their work is very good, .
They expect to invite their mothers
to visit them next Friday .
The first grade pupils have been
giving special attention to phonic com
binations; results are shown in the
power of the children to pronounce
their own words.
~ Construction work and drawing is
exhibited in oil cloth designs with the
inch-square and hexigon tile,
- Number combinations are confined
to the foot rule; recognition of figures
and counting is limited to the number
of pupils present each day.
THIRD WARD

Franz Liszt and the
Hallet & Davis Piano
AS far back as 1867, Franz Liszt commented on the
HALLET & DAVIS PIANO and in part said: "It has
a peculiar richness of tone and extreme solidity.” What
could possibly afford YOU 'g(eater assurance than such a
commendation from so great\a composer and pianist as
Franz Liszt? Is it not reasonable to assume that when
such artists as Liszt, Mary Gakden, P. S. Gilmore of band
master’s fame, Florencia Constantino and Celestina Bonin
segnia heap praise upon the HALLET & DAVIS PIANO
that it is THE instrument for YO Home? E
Good sound construction, with erhphasis upon the tonal
conception of the instrument, has for, nearly eighty-five
years been the by-word of the HALLETR & DAVIS PIANO
