Equipment For
Smaller Children
By C. A. Ledford, Principal
The aim of your school committee,
Mrs. E. H. Cranmer,
Capt. J. B. Church and Chas. S.
Ward, is to make Southport high
school a bigger and better place
for your children to be educated.
In view of this, several changes
have been made, several new
places created and filled, and
several minor changes have been
made in the management of the
school.
At a meeting in July the board
decided to offer as much variety
to the pupils of the Southport
school as could possibly be offered
with the number of faculty
members available. So the new
departments, home economics,
public school music and some i
constructive work in science was
agreed upon.
The Home Economic teacher,
who comes to us from a similar
position at Greens Creek, Polk
county, has charge of this new
department and has succeeded in
interesting about 38 girls of the
54 registered in high school. It |
is true that this department is I
in need of many things for use
in the work but we are very j
much indebted to the friends of;'
the school for their loyal sup- <
port. Piece by piece we are add- {j
ing to the equipment for this de-1,
partment. j
Likewise, we robbed the George
Hilderbran school department, ,
of Connelly Springs, of their
music teacher to fill the place
of public school music. Six grade
rooms lift their voices daily in
training to music of children's
songs, learning to read music,
and learning to sing together.
Besides this, about 30 pupils meet'
one period each day in glee club
work. These pupils come from the
high school. To make this possible,
it is necessary that coopera- j
tion come from the fourth, fifth I
and seventh grade teachers in de- j
partmental work. This is done
very graciously and willingly.
Special teachers are very much
in demand. These two places in
the other schools have not been j
filled. This should be a guiding!
star to some of our young people j
?specialize. k
The special teacher is making
plans to have some special work I.
done in some of his classes. This |i
we hope will be a beginning to
a manual training course offered
our boys to match the home economic
for girls. May I ask the
- parents, "What are we offering j
our boys as a preparatory course
for life?" We are still sticking
too closely to our old friends of
ancient days?The Three R's."
Another course which, if work- 1
ed very carefully, will be a great!
addition to any school, is a i
Commercial Course. The writer
knows of pupils holding good poOltiAn
n frv/ln>. ...U. _ ,
wuajr wiiu iiavc never naa
more than a two-years training
in high school. No one person can
get these things alone. Let us,
while we are fireside-dreaming of
how to make money, forget a
bit, and dream how we can prohibit
crime and make men.
It is very gratifying to teach-1
ers to meet with seventy-five1
parents to discuss the things of
interest concerning the children
of our community. It is also
great to know we have men who
will place these questions before j
us so very effectively. It is more!
pleasant to know the ParentTeachers
Association is placing
in the hands of worthy children
who are unable to buy their
books and materials to assist
them in having equal chance with
other children. Again, we can
come with praise for a band of
workers, who will tune pianos
and furnish silverware for dining
room by private donations. Keep
behind the teachers and see that
we donate or furnish the needed ,
service as much as possible.
Since the U. S. Government
has made it possible for the J<
school to have a full-time lib- s

The Southport high school glee
club was organized at the beginning
of this year and since that
time has been meeting regularly
three time each week. The members
of this organization took
part voluntarily with the common
purpose in mind of creating
pleasure for themselves and
others as well as enlightening
themselves In that much neglected
art?group singing.
So far the club has presented
only one program. This was given
at the chapel hour early in
the year.
At present all energies are being
concentrated on the production
of the musical comedy,
"Sailor Maids," which will be ottered
to the public in the near
future. Plans for the spring are,
us yet, incomplete.
Although most of the work this
year has been that of building
foundations for future progress,
iome remarkable results have
xime out, and an unusual amount
)f talent and ability has presented
itself. The club is made up
tfmost entirely of freshmen and
sophomores. A few seniors are
