n has recognized
the fact that better citizenship should
start with the boys and girls.
Nothing so enlists their civic in
terest anil pride as a realization of
their responsibility for the welfare
of their school, of their community,
of their country.
Let the children of every school in
our county know the American’s
creed and the patriotic songs which
have been published for them to
learn.
* * * *
Report the names of club members
who have taught illiterates to read
ftnd write.
The following clipping is taken
from the Pictorial Review of April.
It will be of interest to teachers anc]
club members:
Common Sense in Georgia.
“The women of Georgia, aroused
by the large percentage of illiterate
whites in their beloved state, are at
tacking the problem in a very direct
way. In every county of the state,
leaders are organizing committees
who voluteer to give at least two
afternoons or evenings a week to
teaching men and women beyond the
school age how to read and write.
There’s something about this plan
which seems almost too practical and
efficient to be true in this day. If
your neighbor can not read, instead
of making a "survey,” getting out
barrels of literature, and enacting
legislation in her behalf, you just run
in and sit beside her and teach her
yourself! Most unscientific!”
The teachers of our county volun
teered to do this work, but two clu >
women have taught dlitera cs. They
are Miss Manic Jones of the Meri
wether community club, and Mis. Ed
mund Wright of the Nancy Hr.it
chapter, D. A. R.
* * * *
Report tho number of memorial
trees planted, and give the names of
those planted for individual soldieis.
The American oFrestry Association,
Washington, D. C., is registering all
memorial trees, and want to be in
formed of every tree planting, so
that it can keep its rolls complete.
* * * *
Report whether your school com
peted in the historical essay contest
as announced by the Nancy Hart
Chapter, D. A. R.
If every school in the county com
petes, the two prizes will be a five
dollar gold piece, each. If only a part
of the schools compete the prizes
will be a two dollar and a half gold
piece each.
Contest papers to Mrs. H. D. Al
len, regent Nancy Hart Chapter, D.
A. R. Send them on April 15th.
* # * *
Report whether the children of
your school are to have home gar
dens.
Report every thrift club, whether
in the home or in the school. Report
amounts invested in thrift stamps,
war saving stamps, treasury saving
certificates, or U. S. Government se
curities, -T'
* * * *
Report anything and everything
done Li the Interest of health.
* * * *
On Mdhday, April 12th, the Snead
school, with Etta Stiles as teach
er, will have a ike-raising, a naming
of memorial trees and a patriotic ad
dress. The school children sing well
their patriotic songs, and these songs
will be a feature of the occasion.
Mrs. George Tunnell is the Fairy
Godmother for this school, atit^ she
and her committee will be in attend
ance on this occasion.
* * * *
Cooperville school, with Misses
Smith, Brannen and Newton as teach
ers, had a wonderfully interesting
Easter celebration. The following
program was rendered:
Song—“Christ Arose,” four little
girls.
Recitation—"The Violet’s Easter
Bonnet,” Mabel eParson.
Address—Prof. Ruhl.
Recitation—“The Blue Bird,” AI-
lie Gladden.
Then all joined in the merriest Eas
ter egg hunt.

The schools of Misses Stiles, Horne
and Lane joined forces on the occa
sion of their annual picnic. They had
a wonderful fish fry, a wonderful
day and a wonderfully good time.

Mrs. H. D. Allen, regent of the
Nancy Hart Chapter, D. A. R., and
Mrs. Jon Hutchinson are attending
the D. A. R. State Conference at
Moultrie. The report of the Nancy
Hart Chapter is good enough for all
the federated clubs to enjoy. It is
given herewith:
Nancy Hart Chapter, Milledgeville,
Mrs. II. D. Allen, Regent.—It is a
the report of the Nancy Hart Chap-
pleasure to submit to the conference
ter for 1919-20. We have thirty-sev
en members, ten of whom are non
residents. We have lost one mmber
by death, Mrs. Julius A. Horne.
We consider the erection of the
Hut on the campus of the Georgia
Military College a great triumph for
our chapter,
We reported the erection of this
building last year, but we have work
ed vigorously this year to liquidate
all indebtedness upon it. The build
ing cost $2,200, $700 of which we
paid last year. This year, to date,
1,250 has been paid on it, leaving
j an indebtedness of $250, which we
hope to pay before June 1st. This
.. ,. Aii -*•' tnv o.
bunding fills a re*.
M. C. boys, and they take great pride
in it. •
Besides paying for this Hut wo
have spent $72 for two French war
orphans, $G0 for the Armenians, $20
to maintain ^ needy child in our local
hospital, $13 towards the memorial
tree planting fund for the Baldwin
county heroes who gave their lives in
the world war. The names of these
boys are William Singleton Morris,
James Franklin Little, Eddie I.
Brown, Robert Lee Roberson, Mor
ris Vinson, Furman F. Lee, Fleming
DuB. Vaughan, Joseph Woodson
Wood, Thomas Howard Iluff, Isaac
Newton Maxwell.
$10 in prizes for historical essay
contest, $5 towards “America’s Gift
to France,” $1 towards the purchase
of the George Walton pitchers, $1
for meadow garden, $1 for the Emi
ly Hendree Park Memorial. We gave
five pairs of woolen socks, knitted
for the Macon Red Cross Society.
We have ordered a marker for the
grave of Wm. Anderson in Baldwin
county.
We hav sent two reciprocity pa
pers to the state chairman.
We have one D. A. R. member who
taught an illiterate to read.
We have ordered copies of the Flag
code and U. S. constitution posters
for all schools and public buildings.
We have supplied the school chil
dren of our county with copies of
"The American’s Creed,” and they
know it.
We have observed Independence
Day, Georgia Day, LaFayette Day
and Uncle Remus Day. - t _
We held meetings throughout the
summer 6f 1919.
Like Edgar A. Guest, we think "he
has not served who gathers gold, nor
has he served whose life is told in
selfish battles he has won or deeds of
skill that he has done; but he has
served who now and then has helped
along his fellow men.”

A committee from the Federated
Clubs appeared before Dr. Tigner
and the board of education, compos-
ed of Messrs. J. R. Torrance, O. M.
| Ennis, W. C. Green, J. E. Chandler
and J. R. Norment, and asked their
consideration of a consolidated school
in the UrdAv. • - • • » — 1
... Point district, and if
1 they deemed it wise a consolidation ■
of the two school districts—Union
Point and Black Springs.
But boards of education, like all
other bodies, have to possess funds
before great things can be done.
It is believed that these two dis
tricts would today vote to issue bonds
sufficient to build an up-to-date pub
lic school building, perhaps enough
even to build a modern high school
building, and thereby secure an an
nual $1,000 appropriation for main
tenance from the state.
But, should this be done, there is
still the problem of getting the chil
dren to and from school.
So they will have to wait for the
Elders-Carswell bill to become effect
ive. This bill provides: first, every
community which does not now levy
a local tax to help in the education
of its boys and girls, must provide at
least one mill. Second, any district
or municipality may levy a greater
amount than the rest of the county,
if it decides to do so by two-thirds
vote of those concerned.
The Union Point community club,
which has labored so hard for con
solidation, has adopted the slogan:
“Bite off more than you can chew,
Then chew it.
Tackle more than you can do,
Then do it.
Hitch your wagon to a star,
Keep your seat and there you are.”
They may have to wait awhile for
the voters next year to settle this
question, but they have pinned their
faith to getting a fine consolidated
school for these two districts.
