open your mouths and SING fbr
Will you do it? SURE—I know you
will.
The Sing
Now that is another thing we want
to talk about a little bit. Wc
not sure exactly what day it will be
but not before the last of April. Now,
kiddies, all of you get to work and
brush up on your words to America
(first verse and last verse)—America
the Beautiful—First and second)
Star Spangled Banner (first verse)
and all of the Georgia songs that
you know. By the way—I was never

chwe Georgia Day, and wish to
BRAG that we were Ibe first organ
isation to celebrate BOTH THESE
fay officially, and EVERY year up
to this time. Then, the yearly
“Firpr,” which begnn about the
time .when Miss Jennie Weller, a
musie teacher at G. S. C. W., so
reneronsly gave of her time to help
the kiddies learn some songs to sing
for this occasion. Later Miss Fannie
1'irrinin McClure gave herself for
years to the work, and at various
times other musicians have visited
the schools. Several years ago when
Education Week was started, that
was added to our Federation by the
request of the County Board of Edu
cation. All of these plans were made
with the approval of the Board and
•Supt. Bivins, nnd at all times they
have done everything they could to
help make them successful.
The Teachers
The teachers of all the county
*bnols have been most helpful in
•heir attitude -and all the programs
arc splendidly prepared nnd the
‘iddies do well. As everybody knows
T he programs are given in colabora-
,f| r:—the county school providing
‘ an, l the town committee giving
thp nth *r half. We can think of no
setter way for these special Days to
damned on the minds of the
c ildren than to have a program of
? ais kind. The county Mchools under
rat'd that this is THEIR Federation
•nd that W" all want to make the
w®rk n success.
