EDUC . I MT. *. TmmW T Ur int LEBANON PARK STORY OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AT ONE COUNTY SCHOOL SCHOOL IMPROVED Ladies Take Hold and Make Many Changes for tbs Better in School. It waa during the administration of Prof. Abrams that the idea of .. gan izing a civic association ' was sug gested by him. The bar? suggestion was enough for that peerless pnd tire less community worker, Mrr. J. G. Duckworth. She talked and worked and agitated until she got together enough women to organize. This, how ever as an organization, was a failure. In the measrtime, Mrs. Duckworth' and her co-worker Mra. Breazeale, went to work along civic lines, determined to win & prise, for the Lebanon school. Accordingly, they decided to have a school park. For this purpose Mrs. Breazeale gave a plot of ground mid way between the school house and the spring. By* dint of harri work, and getting a little work from the men and persuading the school children to lend a hand, the park began to develop. Some kind of. pavilion seemed to be a necessary part \pf a park. There was no fund from which to draw, so Mrs. Duckworth, at her Jwn expense, had a large and comfortable pavilion built. The name "Lebanon School Park" in large black letters on a white ground, , was hung over the lower en trance.. Some of the boys contributed rustic bird houses and bridges. A col lection was taken and enough money raised to buy a good swing. Scattered here and there were flower beds and mounds. This park secured a prize of fifty ' dollars in the school. About this tune Mrs. Duckworth became Ul and had to give up public -service. Bot Mrs. Breapeale was faithful and kept things going unUl the fall of 15? 13. - At this tune Mrs. Maggie Garlington, supervisor of rurol schools, came up to the opening of the school. She asked tho ladles to organise a school im provement association. After explain ing its purple, the ladies became quite enthusiastic and proceeded at once to elect officers a3 follows: Mrs. A. J. Smith, president; Mrs. J. E. Smith, vice-president, and Mrs. D. M. Craig, secretary and treasurer. A program was arranged and the time of meeting WP a to ho each Friday afternoon be fore the first Sunday. The first work the association did waa to secure a Janitor and have the school house thoroughly swept at least once a day. For this purpose each pupil paid ten cents per month. The main purpose of the associa tion soon became apparent, and that was to make money. To this end lt was not a great success. However, by the help, of our good friend. Capt. Tay lor, the auction netted something over fifty dollars. We asked the church to donate their old organ to the school. This was cheerfully done and Mr. Marshall Smith put lt in good repair at a cost of five dollars. The old school house having no aud itorium, Mrs. Duckworth proposed to have seats built on one side of the pavilion. This was agreed to, and she was appointed to have the work done. Fortunately, the lay of the ground was such that the seats could be arranged in the form of an amphitheater. After the carpenter had finished his work, the ladies bought some creosote and gave the.seats a good coat . Our 1913-1914 commencement ex ercises were held In the park; and lt was delightful to have the pure fresh air Instead of . the stale air. of the overcrowded school room. Our asso ciation has several gas torches which furnish plenty of light The association furnished dinner for tho County Teachers* Associstion. It is wonderful diow willingly the members contribute refreshments when requested to do so. During the mouth of August a mu sical entertainment was planned. Sev eral fiddlers In te neighborhood werp asked to assist in tarnishing music. Fortunately Mrs. C. E. Elgin was vis iting her mother; sad she consented tn drill the rhtHisn and young people In singing some songs. J^wxn music began, we proposed to sell tee cream. Several ohurss were donated by who were n* J^*** Some ot the ladles were asked to W> nish supper for the Mdlers. After getting everything reedy, we were doomed to disappointment. The long drouth was broken by a eayy rain. Presently tho sun shone out, and lt looked like the - evening w*?d beautiful, but In tn hour'si time it was raining- again. We moved the and sup >er from the P?k -uto T school house, but no one knev how to proceed. It was not l?i.l?weW until the house began to fill with poo pie and we began selling cream and handing around eatables. Soon thera were caji? for music. andJMre. Elgin got her children la as seed shape. as poselble. Atter their songs, thetld dlers ployed several pieces. Mr. Ffau? MnlUkln asked the audience to es ouse the program, ?nd hoped that lt would not rahv next time.

Thia entertainment gaye us about :ATIO tan At the September meeting; Mrs. J. D. Welborn proposed that we give the new faculty an open air reception dur ing the afternoon of the opening day. Mr. Felton, county superintendent and Miss Maggie Oarliington, supervisor of rural Bchools, were invited, and Mr. Smoak, editor of the Intelligencer, came with'them. After the introduc tions, Mr. Robbins, master of ceremo nies, called on Mr. Felton for a speech. He responded In his unual happy style. Miss Qarlington was called next She plead stage fright; but standing at her seat, she gave our society much en couragement She is to blame for this article. Mr. Smoak was introduced and gave a fine address. Everybody was carried away with the new editor. Mr. Robbins now asked the new prin cipal, Prof. P. W. Jayroe, for a few remarks. He expressed his apprecia tion of the interest manifested in ?chool work, and promised his hearty o-operation and best effort to make an "efficient" school. The high school girls served re freshments, and the guests were kind enough to say that they enjoyed this part of the program. A few days before school opened, the association met at tho school house armed with broome, mops, dust cloths, disinfectants, etc.. The honorary members brought wagons, barrels, buckets, rakes, and hoes. The old school house just rejcv?ed when the ladles got through with it The yard, including under the house, was terraced, scraped and swept That was a sure enough "cleanup" day; and we are so glad that our teachers show their appreciation by keeping the house and grounds spick and span. While our main business is trying to make money, yet this is only a means to attain our real purpose, ,with modern equipment and hearty co-op eration between the borne and Behool. Tu accomplish these things, we must have every 'man and woman in the district enlisted in the work. If our aim is not accomplished, it will not be the fault of our president for she is faithful and alert in the dis charge of her duties, and U every ready and willing to work. -;.: ooooooooooooooooo o WEST PELZ ER o o ? o ooooooooooo oo o po Vj . i ? The local news budget at this writ ing we regret will reveal our misfor tune robed m lae sicaaess of our assistant . teacher, Miss Mary Brabham. She has been confined to ber'room for a week; In the work ot the school we have missed her greatly. We are glad to know that she ls able to resume her duties Monday. Our clean-up day on November Ctn Was very full. We found many things to improve, and we are glad that we found the time to make the improve ments in nearly every instance. The appearance of the grounds was con siderably changed, there being several stumps, and stones and the burning off of some unsightly weeds. More i grounds Improvements are desired. The grounds arc yet to be laid off: and .in the doing ot this we feel that we need the assistance of an expert along thia line, before we attempt at this improvement is made. The activities ot the Hampton Lit erary society are still encouraging.

This gives teachers an J pupils freedom from school duties for several consecutive days, enabling all to takt a delightful recreation. Best wishes to ill. In our getting of pleas ure during this season historic, let us not forget that it is a season of Thanksgiving, and that we have In numerable things for which we should be thankful all year.'In spite of the depressions apparent in trade, our spirits should be buoyant In view ot the fact that we are enjoying national peace.

WEDEMAN'S ADDRESS o ol ooooooo?ooooooooo The following is a oummary of an address delivered by Dr. S. J. Wide man at health day celebration exer cises at Townville high school Tues day, ^November 17. This address has been commented upon most favorably and ls worthy careful reading? ."Self Preservation of the Body. In the first place, to preserve our bodies we should dress according to the season. Clothing should be thin in warm weather, and not enough cloth ing or underwear is harmful during the time that we need it We would not be heir to as many aches and pains if we would pay strict attention to-ourselves along this line. We should take a bath daily of olive oil soap and take tl .to finish with a towel wrung out of cold water. Dub tho body thoroughly all over with this in order that pore' of skin be closed, then colds are hot easily contracted. Few people take time to do this. After taking a warm bath the pores are open and should be closed before going out Into the air. We should never neglect this bath, as all the Impurities of the body pass through the pores. The Inside Body. v The teeth should be' brushed twice dally, as thlB toughens the gums and stops poisons. By overloading the stomach a habit which we are all apt to do sometimes, more or less, causes; infection, apoplexy, heart dlsesse, liver, kidneys and spleen all are overworked. Thus we are unwillingly poisoning our selves,, robbing ourselves of the health God has given us. For instance, a certain man will go to the table, eat improperly with the whirl of dollars in his head, will ask a hurried blessing and perhaps get angry at wife about some trivial mat ter. By eating hurriedly he harms him self. Stop him lt you can, tell htm Jokes. Even a pleasant smile is worth a whole lot to him. No business or sorrow should be brought to the table. Make the meal hour the merriest hour pf the day, as this takes the blood away from the brain and makes - the stomach work. We can form some idea of how Rockefeller values his digestion. At one time he uttered a man $1,000,000 to cure him of a bad digestion. Di digestion. ??j$ In order to digest our food properly, it is important that w* masticate our food thoroughly. The food should he cooked well, or would be likely, to produce abscess of liver, cancer, etc. Also big biscuits are bad. Small bis cuits are much better to digest Bad cooked dumplings ls soothe., also pie crust ls barely ever cooked done enough to be eaten. Take care to not eat too much. If you eat too much at one meal, try do ing without at the next one. . Constipation, It is believed that from 65 to 85 per. cent ot the people suffer from consti pation. There ls no doubt that most all diseases start from thia Invalida suffer most from it It be gins as a habit and ends In a disease. There should be a fixed time for all things. For instance, every morning is the time to relieve the body of these wastes. Thu cuuBc, though can easily be remedied. "A stitch in time eaves nine Most physicians will tell you also dentists, that lt is much easier to rem edy a disease before it becomes chronic, and os I said before, go to the doctor, hunt the cause and clean up and keep clean. -_. oooooooooooooooo ? ? o DOUBLE SPRINGS , o ?'. .
