Page Twenty-Two DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASS IN COLORED SCHOOL our town, of which we are planning a full report for the next issue of the Bulletin. These ladies judged our work as being very good. The exhibits were from the industrial as well as the other departments of the school. Our night school is also a success. We are glad to have any adults come to us; and we also invite our friends, white and colored, to visit our day and night school, that they may see and decide for themselves what it will in time mean to our whole community. School Band and Home Economics Our Students’ Band, under the train ing of our manual training teacher, is beginning to play just a little. The boys are doing fairly good work in the shop, and the girls are doing their work nicely in the department of Domestic Science. About two dozen girls are taking this work, and twenty boys are taking the manual training and band. We hope to have our own band for commencement this year, which Mr. Armstrong assures us we can do. Until we shall have the best school open to any of our people anywhere, we will not have reached our aim. Parent-Teachera’ Association We are now working out the plans for organizing a Parent-Teachers’ Asso ciation in North Badin, which we shall announce soon. We are doing this with a hope of drawing parents to a realiza tion of what it takes to educate a com munity, even reasonably well. Some of our parents have not the least idea of what it takes to run a school success fully, when it contains three or four hundred children. We hope by these plans to have the full co-operation of all good parents in the execution of all things necessary to make a good school. —E. G.
