SECOND SECTION r Pages 9 to 16 VOLUME 1, NUMBER 302. 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.

BURNETT. 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.

GOOD COMPANIES FOB IBIS SEASON 1 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. Low Rates to Washington. On account of the G. A. R. escamp ment at Washington October C to 11, the Atlantic Coast Line offers low rates to Washington and New York, tickets to be sold October 3 to 6 in clusive, with final limit to October 15, 1902.
