BRUNSWICK SCHOOLS
READY FOR OPENING
YEAR WILL BE A
SUCCESSFUL ONE
—♦ —
OLD ACADEMY BUILDING TO BE
ABANDONED BY PREPARA
TORY SCHOOL.
QUARTERS IN BRICK SCHOOL
A Number of Other Changes to be
Made This Year—List of the
Teachers and Other
School Items.
The public schools of Brunswick and
Glynn county will open for the year
mi Monday, October 6. The teachers
have already returned from their va
eaiions, the school building haa been
overhauled and is being put in thor
ough condition, the children are here,
rested and refreshed by their long va
cation and the majority are eager to
begin school work, now made pleas
ure to a great extent by the splendid
new method introduced in the past few
y ars and that more especially were
applied during the past scholastic
year by Supt. Ballard.
Mr. Ballard has introduced many
innovations in the course and meth
ods id' study for both the teachers ami
pupils of our schools. He is rau.cally,
progressive and in thorough touch
with all that moves and makes for
.better success in scln>ol worn; all
that tends toward •"higher education
and more of it." During the coming
year a marvelous improvement will
manifest itself, if the * superintend
ent's enthusiasm, energy and progres
sive spirit are reflected by teachers
and pupils and the standard of the
schools will lie notably higher.
Tin; course of study in the schools
has been woefully defective iu the
past -the different grades not having
the exact relationship and sequences
the harmony and progress require.
This defect will be carefully reme
died this year and the gaps in study
hitherto existing will be obviated.
Hereafter teachers and superintend
ent will work in uniformity of meth
ods, each grade’s work to be part ol
a nicely calculated and carefully
wrought harmonious whole.
In the twenty-ninth annual report
of the city ami county schools recent
ly issued these plans are set for tit
A concise and conservative resume
is here given of the weak points and
Inefficiencies of the schools in the past
as well as the power of the hoard of
education, its rights and revenue. In
the report Mr. Ballard generously com
mends the teachers and principals of
the city and county schools, their loy-
and competency and says they
deserve the highest commendation.
Mr. Balard also says that "the cry
ing need is the development of a real
live interest in school affairs among
tilt* pupils of both city and county.
We can never hope for real success,
in his opinion, until these schools are
a matter of love and pride with the
people.
The old Academy building Is to be
abandoned for the future. The assem
bly room of the Grammar school
has been divided into four rooms to
accommodate the preparatory grades
now to be known as the primary
grades of the Grammar school.
It will be a good move and an evi
dence of real prosperity when Bruns
witk is able to build a suitable school
house for these grades on the splendid
lot where the old frame building con
,1 tunned as unsafe, now stands.
Mr. Ballard suggests that the teach
ers he first elected and then assigned
to their, respective grades at the dis
cretion of the board of education.
The schools are to be designated
Grammar and High schools. The
Grammar school is to comprise seven
grades three of them to be known
as the primary department of the
Grammar school. The High school
comprises four grades or classes.
Rigid rules as to attendance,
punctuality;; average, deportments
and study will be enforced and
this alone will do. much, toward rais
ing the average and excellence.
In the Hign school there are to be
BRUNSWICK NEWS.
two courses of study—a regular and
a preparatory course. The regular
course omits Latin in the second
third and fourth grades and substi
tutes word-analysis, book keeping,
chemistry, physics, astronomy and an
cient history. The preparatory course
prepares the pupil to enter the Fresh
man class in any college in the state.
To perfect this course the board is
considering the introduction ef Greek.
Mr Ballard refers to the manual work
introduced by Mr. Winn in the col
ored schools at Frederica, where the
pupils are trained in the con
struction of baskets and mats
out of palmetto leaves and stems
and suggests the advisability and im
portance of manual training in the
schools.
The importance of good public schools
cannot be overestimated. Here the
foundation is laid, in an institution
open to all classes, to future of good
citizenship and useful manhood.
There is an equal chance for all; the
poor boy of humble parentage is given
a chance with the child who possesses
all the advantages of wealth. The
mighty power of enviromont is au
mitted and a child put through
reftnjng influences of a good, high
class school system, where morals
and manners are carefully in
culcated along with the incalculable
good conferred by education which
opens up a higher world to the young
student stands a splendid chance, ids
one chance, perhaps, of being molded
into a good, reliable citizen.
In connection with this matter, the
attention and appreciation of the pub
lic lias been called forth by the ap
pearance of the grounds of tho brick
schoolhouse. In less than a year these
grounds, through the generority and
aud personal supervision of A. V.
Wood, president of the btfifTW; nave
been transformed from a base .and iu
attractive place into beauty and at
tract! vness. Mr. Wood, whose public
.qilritednesa and progressive and gen
erous individuality is so well known,
nas wrought a wonderful change, in
deed, in the appearance of the school
yard. The shell walks, outlined with
neat green hedges, the lawn beau
tifully sodded, the quantities of
violets and other flowering and foliage
plants, present a thoroughly attract
ive and beautiful picture. Tne edu
cational value of the beautiful is an
admitted factor nowadays,and this
work of beautifying the school
grounds is an important and com
mendable one.
Mr. Wood, in his report, calls at
tention to the good accomplished by
J. T. Colson in getting a better
understanding of the hoard's position
in regards to the Town Commons.
Through his efforts Ine board is now
in possession of a complete record,
as far as was possible. This enables
the board to determine its rights and
the extent of its revenues from tnat
source. This revenue augments the
finances of the board considerably and
with the addition of the taxes from
improvements will admit many plans
being carried out for improvement of
the schools.
The teachers and principals *of the
new school year are the following,
and they are a splendid corps, their
success in teaching and discipline in
the past deserving recognition and
praise:
Principal of the High School.—J. G.
Griffith.
Principal of the Grammar School —
B. I.f^Jann
The teachers are named without
regard to their respective grades, this
matter not being definitely decided:
Misses Constance Butts, Lula Coles
berry, Annie O’Connor, Howena Grif
fin, Frances Hopkins, Alice Wrench,
Mary McCullough, Rita McKinnon;
oussie Dixon, Lizzie Doming, and Miss
Suyder, the only new teacher electc%
for the year.
This year promises to be a splen
did one in our schools and the pub
lic should support them and show
their interest in the schools and ap
preciation of the efforts and com
petency of the superintendent ana his.
able corps.

BRUNSWICK, GA„ SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 1902.
HUMANE SOCIETY
00INGG00D WORK
—t —
THROUGH THEIR EFFORTS ALL
HORSES OF THE CITY ARE
WELL KEPT.
DRAYMAN WAS ARRESTED.
And For Cruelty to His Horse a Fine
Was Imposed Upon Him by
the Mayor in Police
Court.
The Brunswick branch of this so
ciety is active and energetic and al
though its modesty and the necessar
ily narrow field of its labors does not
tend to pulicity or renown, its exis
tence and ita great work of mercy are
stubborn facts of which the average
dray or hack-driver in this city is
keenly cognizant.
The poor, overworked, underfed
beast of burden whose wretched con
ditician have been ameliated or whose
miserable, diseased existence has
been mercifully ended through its in
difference, if gifted with the power
could testify to the great good this
society is doing here.
A short time ago, ia drayman was
tried and fined five dollars for cruelty
to the poor animal he was driving, and
the police are on the watch for simi
lar cases anu hare aided the society
very greatly in its good work.
Mrs, ,J. E. dußignon, tne energetic
and enthusiastic founder of this
branch, is also president and her un
tiring and persistent efforts have kept
it alive, and accomplished most of the
resuits noted. In the face of much
discouragement she has not lost in
terest nor wearied of well-doing lor
our four-footed brethren. She distri
butes regularly the papers o£ the so
ciety and copies of Black Beauty, that
bCSurtm! story which was nearly the
pioneer venture into literature con
cerning the rlgnts of dumb beasts anu
their need and deservingness of love
and kind treatment.
In Europe the royal families arc
deeply interested in this work and
are members of this society, and
there too, the clergy wage an active
crusade in behalf of the great work
of mercy. At stated times sermons
are preached on this theme and wide
interest is roused by them. It is a
pity that the clergymen of this coun
try do not take the interest in this
matter, its aims are certainly iS a
line with the cnarily and mercy tuey
preach. Mrs. dußignon recently re
ceived a French paper from Paris, pub
lished by the national society tuere.
This paper mentions the Brunswick
branch and urges the founding of an
official organ here, tor me propoga
tion of the society. In the paper,
there is an interesting article con
cerning the protection of swallows,
which were tareatened with extermi
nation in Europe. Every country ex
cept ItaJy had signed an agreement
to preserve these birds and a petition
was soon, to be forwarded to the queen
of Italy, asking her influence in the
matter. A larger membership and
more enthusiasm would greatly en
large the scope and assist the work
o£ the society here and Mrs, dußignon
eamest.y- hopes that many will join
iu the near future.
A SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT.
J. S. Newkirk Has Forged Rapidly to
the Front.
Of all the young business men in
Brunswick, none nave made more rap
id strides than J. S. Newkirk, who
keeps a fir.-st, class grocery store and
meat market in the large building 101
Cochran avenue.
Although he has been in his pres
ent location only eighteen months he
he has built up a large business and
is generally regarded as one of the
most successful young business men
in the city. Mr. Ne%kirk carries a
full line of groceries, fresh meats, etc.
and guarantees satisfaction. Those
who have been trading with him win
agree with The News when it says
once a customer always a customer.
Fortune Favors a Texan.
"Having distressing pains in head,
back and stomach, and being without
appetite, I began to use Dr. King's
New Life Pills,” writes W. P. White
head of Kennedale, Tex., “and soon
felt like anew man.” Infallible in
stomach and liver troubles. Only 25e
at all druggists.
A CIVIC LEAGUE
FOU BRUNSWICK
THE IDEA TO ORGANI2E ONE
HERE IS MEETING WITH
MUCH SUCCESS.
A. V. WOOD IS INTERESEED
This Well Known Brunswickiatv is
Now Hard at Work and is Doing
Much Good in That
Line.
The Civic League idea is still at
tracting the attention and is widely
discussed, the crying need of such an
organization being generally admit
ted .
A. V. Wood, who is the most en
thusiastic and determined “leaguer”
and who originated the idea of form
ing the league here, is still interested
iu this move and predicts great suc
cess when he finally gets it started.
A practical illustration, a convinc
ing argugent, indeed, in favor of the
results to he gained by efforts in this
directon is presented by the appear
ance of the school grounds on Mans
field street. Here Mr. wood has prac
tically demonstrated what one man can
do in this line. The improved ap
pearance of this pretty and attractive
place is sufficient testimony. During
the winter Mr. Wood intends in con
nection with his stereopticon work at
the schools, to give a series or views
illustrating civic work in different
places. Photographs of the results,
and prevous appearance of these
towns will be shown and Mr. Wood
confidently expects that a great deal
of enthusiasm will be awakened by
thhs means.
This work ia sadly needed in Bruns
wick and the better element is decid
edly in favor of establishing such a
society.

SOME OF THE BEST TROOPS ON
THE ROAD WILL BE SEEN
HERE i HIS SEASON.
TO OPEN ON OCTOBER 3.
With Mrs. Brune, in the Fascinating
Romance of Oriential Life “Un
orna” from the Pen of
Marion Crawford.
Visitors to the Grand Opera House
this winter will at once "catch on” to
the fact that the managers have not
been asleep all summer. Indeed, the
well known play house has been reno
vated from pillar to dome and little
artistic touches have been applied all
over the house. The season promises
to be one of the most interesting in
the history of the city and it can be
truly said that the public may expect
a real treat in the theatrical line.
As before mentioned, we are more
fortunate in the initial performance
for the season than some of our lar
ger neighbor cities as Mrs. Brune (an
actress of the same class as Mrs.
Le Moyne) and with a company woi
thy its leader, wul give us a strong
interpretation of “Unorna” from the
dramatized version of Crawford’s
"Hitch of Prague.” The scenes are
all laid in the ancient city of Prague,
and the theme deals with the gamut of
human passions—unrest, hate, ven
geance and finally and triumphantly,
love. A strong blending of what we
have learned to call hypnotism, in its
higher development, is threaded
through the story and altogether it
will prove a refreshing change from
the problematical drama of last year.
Tuis treat occurs on the night of the
3d of October, and it is safe to as
sure Mrs. Brune a large and appre
ciative audience.
On the night ot the 4th, the well
known colored prinia donna, Sisseidta
Jones (Black Patti), will appear with
a company whose description raxes the
vocabulary of ner press agent. As this
attraction is always first class, and
Black Patti’s singing very delightful,
while the chorus is really superb, a
large house will surely assemble to
enjoy the attraction.
Following closely, once tne season
starts, comes “The Other Fellow, a
farce-comedy; Field’s Minstrels, al
ways enjoyable; “A Colonial Girl,
“Wormwood” (one of Marie Corelli s
novels), “A Runaway Match,” “Tyran
ny of Tears,” "Life's Great Lesson,’’
Lewis Morrison in “Faust.” “The Man
from Mexico,” Kate Claxton in “The
Two Orphans,” “When We Were
'Twenty-One,” “When Knighthood was
in Flower,” Primrose and Dockstad
er’s minstrels, The Gordon-Shay Opera
Cos. in “II Trovatore.” These are a few
of the attractions booked so far, and
they take in some ot the very latest
dramatizations of recent popular
books. Besides these there will be
the usual repertoire companies, hypno
tists and popular plays of tne more
or less lurid type which seem to touch
a popular chord.
The services at the opera house will
be the same as last year; a few
changes have been made in the stage
management and the system of heat
ing and ventilation has been improved.
Altogether the season promises to
be a favorable one for patrons and
management.
