Clipping* from the "School News."
We suppose that our
thought we gavo them rather a
cold reception last Friday. Wo
did not intend to do so, but iteer-
tainly was “airy” in the audito¬
rium.
More and more interest is being
taken in tho Friday afternoon ex¬
ercises, especially since Professor
Jetfcoat and Miss May Jenkins
offered prizes in their department.
The following conversation took
plnce at Mr. Blank’s supper ta¬
ble: Mr. 15.—“My son, did you
have to stay in on your history
today?” Bobby—“No, sir. Pro¬
fessor didn’t call on me,
Rain and absentees have been
the prevailing fashion at school
this week.
Some of the pupils of the sixth
grade could successfully compete
with those of the higher grades
in composition writing.
The pupils of the music and
elocution classes are practicing
for a concert which is to bo given
some time next month.
Roll of honor in tho Intermedi¬
ate Department Ashburu High
School and what it takes for a pu¬
pil to get his name there:
1st—Regular attendance, or if
unavoidably absent lost lessons
must be made up.
2nd—Pupils must be in place
when bell rings, or render satis¬
factory excuse.
3rd—He must be quiet and or¬
derly in school house.
4th—He must make an earnest
eff ort to prepare lessons, doing
his night work and quietly attend¬
ing his duties during school
hours.
5th—He must carry the
full course of study and do his
best in exercises required of the
pupils. Surely it is not too much
to ask that every pupil do his
best, and yet that is all that is
required to get your name on this
honor roll.
Parents, if your child’s name
is not on this list ask him why.
In this way you may encourage
them to nobler effort. Many of
the children are not provided
wit h books. This is discouraging
to them, and tends to disorder,
as it encourages idleness, and
idlers are mischief makers. Do
not expect two children to study
from the same book. It is a
source of continual annoyance,
and the children can’t do the
work thev should do. In their
efforts to make true men and wo¬
men of your boys and girls, the
teachers need your sympathy and
co-operation.
J. B. Holmes, the Cordele cot¬
ton buyer, spent several days
here this week and succeeded in

Mr. J. B. Bozeman, tho efficient
