Conducted by A. D. Hammock. Prof. J. A. Waldrop, of Centre ville, Ga., has again been elected principal Df Pleasant Hill school. Pi of. Waldrop is a good man and is well liked by his patrons, This is hi? ft urth year at Pleasant Hill ichoul. Every teacher ought to prepare at the opening of his school a written program which ought to be strictly adhered to, for daily recitations and exercises, This program should be posted in a conspicious place upon the school¬ room wall. We hope our teachers rvill not neglect to do this. We shall ,'xpect to find programs so arranged when we visit schools. We understand that Miss Ocie ^ ardlaw has a very good school ut Shady Dale in Honey Creek dis¬ trict. Miss Ocie is right well pre¬ pared for school teaching and her Vov k last year was very satisfac¬ tory. ^ e insist that our teachers use a part of each Friday afternoon for ^citations or quotations from or 41 at gr-at thinkers and workers; *°r these develop the bouI as good food develops the body. of ^ Plewant *5 understand that the patrons Hill and Shady Dale * c bools are preparing to improve buildings soon. This flf The Penple Bp The People, Fur The CONYERS, GA. FRIDAY, DEC' 13, 1901 is a step in the right direction. No teacher can do good wofk where the room is uncomfortable and where there is no beauty. We think it a good idea for teach¬ ers to send note of inquiry to or visit parents or guardians to ascer¬ tain cause of absence of a pupil. We would like to see the average attendance ofpur schools increase A child cannot make substantial progress in school work unless he attends regularly. Miss Azelea Chandler of Atlan¬ ta will have charge of Rock Hih school in Sheffield district next year. Miss Chandler is a splen did teacher and is well prepared for school work. Every school needs a library. It is very seldom that we find a class m our schools that can read weli. The reasou of it is, we think, be cause the children do not appre ciate and enjoy what they are re¬ quired to read and thus have not cultivated a taste for reading. They become familiar with the subject matter of the reading books they are to use before taking them up by having heard the pupils in advance of them recite. Often times the book is dry and beyend their comprehension, Children need a large variety of simple leading to thoroughly familiarize them with word-forms. We see children squandering so much val¬ uable time m school in idleness that could be happily and profita¬ bly utilized if they had good, m tereBting books to read, If our schools had libraries the problem of good order and discipline in the room would be largely solved. The minds and hands of children naturally seek activity, and if they are not employed properly and wisely they are likely to hunt mischiet. Many a pupil has given his teacher trouble just because he WdrS f urn’shed nothing good and interesting with which to employ himself. Children as a rule enjoy reading the biographies of succsss ful men and woipeQ and our school libraries should be formed princi pally of this kind of books. Just as we cannot come in intimate contact with a great and good man without being bettered and bene titted by it, so in the same way we cannot study however imperfectly the thoughts and work and life of a great and good man without be¬ ing uplifted and improved by it. Books are very cheap now and we hopo that every teacher in the county will maite an earnest effort to equip his school with a collec¬ tion of supplementary reading matter. The Best Plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bound to the affected parts is superior to any plaster.

He Preferred a Bottle of “Whu«key M to “Shampeen.” When Sir Evelyn Wood had his famous irregulars out once after the hostile natives in Cape Colony, he found himself in a curious fix, says London M. A. P. lie was on one side of a ravine with his small force. The enemy occupied the other side In thousands, keeping well in tasfc NO. 51 cover. To go straight across Isandula, - at them might mean another and Sir Evelyn was too cute to be caught in a trap of that sort. Sir Evelyn pondered the position for a time and then called for one of the best buahmen among the ir¬ regular?. The Scotchman who re¬ lated the incident was selected, and the general asked him if he could contrive to draw the enemy from cover. The end was that the hardy irregular rode away round out of sight under a kloof and came on up the ravine as if he were not aware of the presence of cither party. Dis¬ mounting, he started to make a fire, as if about to camp. Soon the Zu¬ lus came rushing down the slopes after him in great masses, and the next moment shrapnel shells from Wood’s camp were playing among them. A large number were for killed, and the rest cleared off good, much alarmed by the sharp lesson. “1 galloped hack under the shells,” said the Scotchman in recalling the incident, “an’ when I get in the general came up an* shook hands wi’ me. He gied me a bottle o’ fchampeen, too, an’, fwhat was bet¬ I ter, he changed it when I askit him for a bottle of whuskeyl” A Modegt R equ e*t. Genera i A1 r in hi , book recent _ , published, tells of a unique re quest that came to the war depart „ during from a young lady in Boston the Spanish-American war. He says: “Her note pape», handwrit ing and rhetoric vouched at least the culture of the writer. Her request was simple and plainly worded. With much unfeigned ear¬ nestness she stated her ease. The press dispatches had announced that which the volunteer regiment of her brother was a member was to leave for Cuba on a fixed date. But the brother’s birthday occurred two days after the date assigned for hi3 embarkation. A birthday said, box of cake, jellies, forwarded pies, etc., she had been to him and would not he received if the regiment left on the date an¬ nounced. She naively asked that the regiment be detained until the sweetmeats arrived, as she was sure it would make no difference to‘ the government, whereas it wduld be ‘oh, such a disappointment for my *; brother!’” OASTOniA. ftanth* The kind Ysa Haw Always ScugtJ Bigot tu* *
