PROSPERITY RETURNING]
TO COUNTRY.
Jud g i n g by the immense
throngs that attended the show
that exhibited here Wednesday
afternoon and evening, pros
perity is fast returning. The
vfternoon performance was very
well attended, but the evening
performance exceeded anything
we have had here in a long time,
so it is said. The large tent was
taxed to capacity, although the
weather was very threatening.
>ut the urge was too great to
keep the great throngs away.
A little diversion from the old
path is well enough, but Alamo
has been abundantly supplied
with this sort of amusement for
the past two weeks, and the pub
lie should not be imposed upon
too much with this class of am use
nent. Good clean amusement
nay be good for us, but so often
we ara imposed upon with a class
of amusement that is neither
wholesome or profitable,and then
when so much money is taken
away that would otherwise go
into the cbanel of local business.
It is estimated that our last
“show” took took away several
hundred dollars that would have
otherwise been used for the real
necessities prevailing iu ou r
nidst. If the town treasury pro
iited in granting permission to
these amusements it would be
more reasonable, but the small
license feescharged does not com
p.re with the money taken away-

TheGendral Education Board
had a gift of money from Mr.
Rockefellow to be used on Geor
gia schools under the directions
of Dr. M. S. Pittman, President'
of South Georgias Teacher’s Co •
lege at Statesboro. Wheeler and!
. Treutlen Counties were chosen'
to receive the benefit of this mo-'
ney through the addition of a I
, Helping Teacher to the corps of I
. teachers in the chosen counties.
The services of this Helping
Peacher are free to these two
, counties fcr a period of one year.
It is understood that these conn
ties were chosen for this project
because their County Schoo)
Superintendents are active work
ers for progression in educational
fields.
The object of this project is to
improve the educational achieve
ment of the pupils of the first
reven grades during a school
year. A test has already been
given to determine their educat
ional ages now; next spring an
other will be given to measure
the amount of improvement they l
! have made with the aid of their
teachers and the Helping Teach
er. This Fall test will show how
the pupils rate in each subject!
taught so that emphasis may be I
placed on those subjects with the!
lowest rating, thus bringing
them up to normal.
A survey of every phase of the
school situation in these counties
has been made. This shows the
strength and weakness of the
systems.
Wheeler schools have divided
. into two zones. Alamo, Dempsey,
[Browning, Union, Graham,
I Springbill and Oak Grove are in
I Zone I. The other schools of the
i county are in Zone 11. The Zones I
{are competing to see which
j makes the greater progress dur- ]
png the year; this includes at |
■ tendance at the monthly meet-!
logs, professional books read,!
improvement in pupils next
spring and general growth in,
'methods, etc. All teachers who j
' enroll for this service will attend ;
one teacher’s meeting each
। month. These meeting will be
i held on Saturday.

another, help to answer all ques
tions, and make any suggestions
for the good of the educational
system of Wheeler County.
In order to determine whether
or not the Helping Teacher Ser 1
vice will have been beneficial to
our county, other counties that;
do not have the service have been
tested and the results of those;
tests compared with the results
of the tests in Wheeler and Treut
len Counties. This will determine
just how great a help the Help'
