BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING
REPORT; ON THE NIGHT SCHOOL
Ellsworth Hall Elected t» kill the V*.
cancy on tho Board—Some Few
Changes Among the Teachers—Su
perintendent's Recommendations.
"Mr. Ellsworth Hall wa$relected last
night by the 'board of education to flit
the vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
C. B. Willingham.
Superintendent Chapman made h?a
report of the night school proposl-
/ tion.
Embodied In his report wero recom
mendations touching other matters,
one of,which related to holidays.
Present were: Messrs. Tlpsley, Mil
ler. Jones, Herts. Smith. Anderson.
Pendleton, Felton. McCaw, Harris, Wi
ley and Morgan.
Superintendent Chapman's report
was as follows:
_ _ Macon, Ga.. De<x 14.*1808.
*o the Board of Education, Macon, Ga.
• QsotJemen—Having lx>en instructed at
the last meeting of the board to submit
a working plan for theeproposed .night
school. I have studied reports from other
systems, and have consulted Mr. Eugene-
Anderson, of Macon, and Supt. Chas. L.
Floyd, of Montgomery. I was mistaken
In the impression that the city of'Colum-
fob* Supports an evening school. N
Mr. Anderson, who Is 1 conducting an
evening school as a department of his
business college, reaches young people
Who work during the day. He assures
rno that his girls and boys would he bet
ter qualified to take the course that he Is
offering |f they should first receive .ele
mentary training In the public night
school. Mr. Floyd’s letter und Ids an
swers to my questions set forth his own
views and explain what has been accom
plished in Montgomery.
It is to be noted that In Montgomery
there is rto age limit above twelve years.
One of our teachers lias n list of ten
or twelve girls and boys not reported at
the last meeting of the board which
brings the number of applicants to about
thirty-six.
Tho course- of study should be adapted
to the needs of the pupils. It Is obvious
that nothing elaborate, for the present nt
bast, should he attempted. I would rec
ommend three grades Jn each of which
tho course of study would cover three
general divisions—-lanjnnge. history and
geography combined or alternating, and
mathematics.
It appears that all the nnolicants
read and write. There wnpld be written
exercises In which attention would
given to penmanship.
In the first grade, language, which ...
elude reading, letter writing, spelling and
attention to correct forms In written ex
ercises. Mathematic* would cover simple
number work end the fundamental pro
cesses. History and geography should'
be presented orally by tho teacher..
In the second und third grades the lan
gunge course should bo expanded so ni
much literatnre as tho teacher might
find time to Introduce. Intermediate
nrlthme-.lc should bo taken up. In
third grade. Text-books on history
geography should bo used in the second
grade, the teacher continuing to combine
these suhjects as far ns pruslhle. I would
omit geograpiiy In the third grade, giv
ing more attention to language.
The term should cover four months—
November, December. January and Feb
ruary; there should be three one and c
half hour sessions per week. Each grade
should be taught one of the gnnornl sub
jects per evening. Thus tho tenchet
would conduct nine half hour recitations
each week, covering all the subjects.
It Is obvious that the evening school
cannot offer thorough instruction even
In the rudiments of education; but it can
glvo to the ambitious girl or boy a
start, and, as Mr. Floyd says, it is worth
While. It is also obvious that In tho
E fitter of Instruction much latitude must
i given the teacher.
The basement room at Gresham has
been fitted up. nnd electricity and ’ gits
rave been - installed in tho building. One
flve-dollar gas heater would probably
furnish sufficient heat—two certainly
would. Fixtures for the lights and con
nections for the hentera would entail
and expense of about $ .
The toucher should be qualified to
struct the highest as well ss the lowest
grade. Ho should be ambitious, enthu
siastic. philanthropic. I would recom
mend a salary of $36 per month
Forty-five dollars per month would
cover salary, lights and fuel; that is,
ninety dollars for this year, or one hun
dred and eighty dollars for a full four
months' term.
Compared witM the same date last
year, in the city and country, tho schools
for whit** show an increase In enroll
ment of 61; tho negro schools a decrease
of 22. Throughout the cltv and country
there are many negroes who have refus
ed to submit to the rule for vaccination,
forfeiting their school privileges.
I beg to cell tho attention of the hoard
to the unsanitary drinking arrangement
In the schools. At the large city schools
several buckets of water, each supplied
with three or four dippers, are placed on
a bench in the yard. In the course of
the dnv probably a hundred children
drink from tho same bucket, using tho
same dippers, nnd frequently nourlng the
water back Into tho bucket. Thus n con
tagious disease may l>o communicated by
one pupil to many others. Consider, for
example. Whittle School, where children
fromVifth street and f’ollego street use
the same drinking utensils.
In most city systems children drink
from fountains, two to four Lein* In the
hnlls on each floor of nny eight-room
building. These water stands are moro
or less expensive, varying from the plain
Iron.stand with a porcelain top, to an ex-
K nslve arrangement providing a wash
sin as wdl ns n water snout. The wn-
ter*flows In a slow, continuous stream,
which passes off through a waste pipe.
In some cases it flows only when a fix
ture is pressed. The child drinks from
the flowing stream. In Virginia tho su
perintendent of public instruction has or
dered that these stands hat Installed In
ail the rcbbols of the stntd^Where it is
practicable. .
Such nn arrangement as T have de
scribed would eliminate tho Ice bill,
which last year wss $126.85.
I find upon investigation that It would
cost $700 or $809 to install simple stands,
two to the floor. In the nine buildings
that are supplied with city water. Thla
Is n matter worthy of consideration, and
I hope that a special appropriation for
installing in the schools a system of
drinking fountains will be included In
tho next budget presented by the board
to the county commissioners.
For many years the Christmas holidays
came, up each fall for discussion and for
special legislation. For the purpose of
settling the question definitely the pres
ent rule was made four years nm pro
viding for two weeks. I have observed
that different educational Institutions
make changes from year to v#ar. but
that Christmas day and New Year’s are
always Included In the holiday. With all
the other ho’idsvs that ire given In the
Macon schools. I would respectfully sug-
geet that the present Christmas vacation
Is too long* I therefore recommend that
rule l. p. 68, be changed so as to read as
follows:
•’Thesschool year shall begin on Wed
nesday before the fourth Monday in Sep
tember and shall close on the third Fri
day In Juno. Thereg hall be given *
Christmas vacation which shall include
the 24th of December and New Year’s
day. When the 24th of December falls
on Saturday or Sunday, the vacation
•hall begin at the dose of school on the
preceding Friday. When New Year's day
fall on Saturday or Sunday, tho schools
shall open on the following Monday”—
tho change not to go into effect this
year. Many teachers and puolls have
already made plans for the two weeks'
vacation.
Under the old rule ten school days are
lost; under the new rule we would lose
from five to seven school days, according
to the variation of the calendar.
In the new rule suggested nothing Is
said of snlarles. The teachers need the
full December salary for Christmas ex
penses, and Mr. Cabunlss, while treas
urer. authorised its payment. Unless
there Is objection we shall continue to
pay at tho beginning of the Christmas
vacation the full December salaries.
Tho building at Sardis needs overhaul
ing. Certain minor repairs have been re
cently done by Mr. Weir. It la the only
school building in the county that is not
the property of the board. It has never
been painted inside, it has not beeit
painted outside in fourteen years; ll
needs recovering, the lights are unsatis
factory, and an old chimney should be
removed. It W’ould take $200 to put It In
good shape. I recommend that the su
perintendent be Instructed to secure a
deed to the property If possible, and
that g sum sufficient to put the building
In good condition be Included in the next
appropriation.
Excepting Midway. Chambliss. Sardis
and Walden, all the fifty school buildings
In the county are new or’as good as new
An appropriation has already been secur
ed for Midway. Chambliss is now being
done over. Walden Is in good condition
_ ih
lng of Sardis.
On motion, the matter of establish
ing g night school was referred to a
Joint committee consisting of the com
mittee on teachers and tho committee
on text books and course of study.
The recommendation of tho superin
tendent regarding ChrlstmCs holidays,
was referred to tho committee on
rules. This recommend?tion does nor
affect the Christmas holidays of the
present school year.
Tho superintendent’s rccommenda
tion regarding a deed to school lot at
Sardis, was referred to the committee
on'districts and sites.
The building of 3 school nt Midway
was again referred to a Joint com
mlttee consisting of the committee on
buildings and repairs, nnd the commit,
tee on districts and jdtes.
Judge Feltdn. chairman of the
finance committee, reported that Bibb
county’s pro rata of the ststo’s appro
priation would be $50,402.16.
A report from the committee on
buildings and repairs was read, and
showed extensivo repairs on school
buildings In the city and country.

DEATH OF AN ORPHAN
FIND THAT IT WAS NOT DUE TO
ANY NEGLIGENCE ON PART
OF THOSE IN CHARGE.
The board of directors of the Metho
dist Orphanage In Vlnevllle made an
investigation yesterday of the sad
burning to death of one of the children
on Sunday, nnd brought out the fact
that the unfortunate occurrence was
not due to any negligence; on the part
of any one connected with the home,
but to circumstances beyond their con
trol.
It seems, from the Investigation,
that after the dinner hour of the chil
dren, and while the matron was eat
ing, one of the older girls looking after
the children meanwhile. There was a
fire in one of the rooms, but^wlth a
wlqe screen before It, this infeguard
always being used, and into this, two
of the children wandered. The sup
position is that one of the children,
both being about the same age. thrust
n stick through the wire netting and
In this way got some fire and with It
set Are to his companion’s clothing.
Only In this way could the clothing of
the child catch on Are.
All that could be done In coses of
this kind was done, but of no avail.
The little fellow suffered In agony un
til death relieved him.

SIX JURORS IN
T. J. HAIMS CASE
After Two Lengthy Session^
Jury Half Completed—Line
of Defense
FLUSHING. N. Y., Dec. H.—When
court adjourned tonight after two long
Sessions consumed In wearisome exam
inations of talesmen, six jurors sat in the
Jury box competent to try Thornton J.
ITalns. a shori-etory writer, on charges
of being nn accessory In the killing of
Wm. E. Annis, an editor, shot down at
tluKBayside Yacht Club last summer by
Capt. l’cter C. Hnlns, Jr., of the United
States army. The difficulty of securing
a Jury because of oninlons formed be-
camo apparent in the examination of
talesmen, und Justice Crane directed that
a night session he held. Justice Crane
hopes that the trial may lie concluded by
tho end of the week. t
The Line of Defense.
Tho questioning of talesmen by Hnlns’
counsel indicates tlsat the defense will be
based principally on the proposition that
Thornton Halns. fearing that Ids broth
er’s life was in Jeopardy, from the crowd
at the club house, drew his revolver nnd
held the crowd back. His act was one of
defense ami not of offense, according to
his counsel.
John F.. Molntyre, of counsel for Hnlns,
announced tonight that Hnins would tnk
tho witness stand In his own defense. II
will likely tell of those events at For
Hamilton which led up to the separatim
of Capt. Hnins und his wife, nnd t<
the tragedy. Mr. McIntyre will- also
offer In evidence tho alleged confession
made by Mrs. Claudia Ilalns to her hus
band.
Letters Thornton to Peter.
Counsel for tho defense were subpoe
naed by District Attorney Darrin tonight
to appear ns witnesses In tho defense.
Mr. Shay, of Hath* counsel, snld Mr.
Darrin desired to secure the possession
cst in tho examination of talesmen and
Whenever tho state's nttomey
HBKca a talesman if he knew the defend
ant, Halns would smile nnd point to
himself to Indicate that he was tho de
fendant nnd not one of tho numerous
counsel who were grouped about him.
Confident of Acquittal.
Halns said ho had every confidence
that ho would cat Christmas dinner at
home. After the adjournment of court
lie was manacled to a deputy sheriff nnd
taken In nn automobllo to tho Long Is
land Jail. Gen. Peter C. Halns nnd Mrs.
Hnlns. father nnd mother of the defend
ant. returned to Now York following tho
afternoon session of the court. The six
Jurora selected todny wero:
Wm. Hlir. foreman; Thomas Walsh,

Among the policemen and the fire

is that of a process enabling oil to be put
Into powdered form. Practical uee has
already been made of this discovery by a
German scientist who has suco-edcd In
reducing castor oil, that wonderful, hut
generally disliked, aperient to a tasteless
powder.
Castor oil was first discovered In 1T84
l»v Peter Can vane, when It waa Imme
diately hailed by the medical world aa
one of the greatest discoveries. It Is the
best aperient or purgative, hut Its naus
eous taste has prevented Us universal
adoption. The new discovery has made
It possible to eliminate the objectionable
features of ordinary castor oil, without
Interfering with Its restorative virtues.
In fact, ft Is claimed by physicians that
In the powdered state It Is. even superior
to the oil, as It does not decompose In
the stomach and does not repeat or gripe.
Another great advantage of the powdered
<-aator oil la that it ran tie mixed with
milk or other liquid and cereal food with-
out being detected and can thus bo read
ily given to children when It cannot be
In the ordinary state.
raster oil in powdered form Is
sold In the United H'«». •* under Bin n
of “Castor l*ux” and Is • n-hnsed by
highest medical authorities.
