ADMINISTRATIVE NEWS PUBLISHED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO HIGH LIFE BY THE CITY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION AN AMERICAN CITIZEN S EDUCATIONAL GREED I believe that education is the strong defense of a free nation, and I that ignorance is a curse to any people. I believe th®t the free public-school system of the United States is the best guarantee of the rights vouchsafed to us by the Con- I stitution. I believe, further, that the j public schools of the land are the cradle of our democracy, and that in the classrooms and upon the playgrounds, where the sons and daughters of the street sweeper and railroad magnate, of day laborer and multi-millionaire, meet upon an equal footing and stand upon their own individual merits, the lessons of democracy and fraternity are best taught. I believe that the hope of America is in her youth, and that the battle ground of the world is the heart of the child, and that government fails at its source when it ceases to make ample provision for the development and nurture of its future citizens. Fred L. Shaw, Superintendent of Public Instruction of S. Dakota. Copied from the Detroit Educational Bulletin. Let Us Not Forget! Install a basketball goal in your yard and practice regularly if you are interested in perfecting your ability as a basketball player. A few boys in our school have al ready completed their goals. Why not you? Banner Grade in Physical Training For the month of March all grades, 4th through the 8th, have been working for the pennants in Physical Training, and again they have been awarded. All classes have made marked improvement and the directors had to check carefully all details to decide the winners. After due consideration and testing Miss Plowden announced Miss Big- ham’s 7A Grade in Asheboro St. School the banner grade, and Miss Southland’s 4th Grade of Asheboro Street school was given honorary mention. In Mrs. Park’s schools. Mr. Looper’s 6th “grade of West Lee won 1st place and honorary men tion was given Miss Phillip’s 6th . Grade at West Lee. CAMP HICONE Duriiig tlic next weeek a definite decision must be arrived at concerning Camp Hicone, since plans have to be made during the months of May and June looking toward securing the proper type of leadership and the neces sary camp help. The belief of the Executive Committee of the Camp and Playground Association is that the work of this camp is exceeedingiy whole some and worth while tor young boys and young girls between the ages of nine and fifteen. It is hoped that we can have two camps for boys, but the campers themselves and their parents must sign up indicating their interest in the camp and their purpose of patronizing it before any definite arrange ments can be made. The older boys and girls in Greensboro may no doubt be interested in other camp opportunities offered by Miss Olivia Patton’s camp for girls in Frank lin, North Carolina, Dr. A. P. Kephart’s camp for girls at Yonahlossee, near Blowing Rock,, N. C., and a camp for boys in which Miss Mta Gressitt is interested located near Hendersonville, N. C. Of course, there are many other splendid camps, but w^e should like to see these three patronized liber ally by the older boys and girls of Greensboro. The first camp of a Greensboro boy or girl, however, should be Camp Hicone. CYPRESS ST.

This field will be used by both the Cypress and Lindsay Street teams and then there will be room left for many more, for it is a spacious athletic field. The Asheboro Street field is rap idly developing into shape. A new backstop is about completed. The Asheboro Junior High boys are anxiously looking for games and will be interested in playing any of the Senior High class teams. This is true also of the Junior High girls’ teams.

One day just before Easter, Harry went out to his little hen’s nest. He gave her orders to lay him one dozen Easter eggs of every color. Now Harry began feeding her all different col ors of corn. But to his surprise he found only one white egg the next morning, which was the day before Easter. Harry was very much disappointed, but he stroked her softly and sighed, “I finks she will do her best.” Easter morning he hurried to the nest and what do you suppose he found! There was a nest full of the most beautiful eggs he had ever seen so he ran back to the house as fast as he could and told his mother over and over about what a good little hen he had. His mother looked very wise but never said anything. * * * Sense The horse has sense though he never will talk, The mule has sense though he sometimes will balk, But now you take the duck and the hen And I tell you, you will find them as senseless as men. * * it REPORTS OF THIRD GRADE EASTER possible ten and was awarded a for two reasons.

AN APOLOGY One of our readers has been kind enough to call our attention to the fact that the story “Under the Lash,” published in Lindsay News column, was not original but a re production. Upon investigation we found this to be true. We regret exceedingly that we did not recog nize this reproduction before pub lishing same, and wish to apologize here for its appearance as original matter. round ball. This will train the boy in the correct method of hand ling both himself and the ball. Second: At all times it is not safe to use a regulation hard ball on the playgrounds, especially when so many use the play space at one time. Therefore, it is best to be consistent and use the 10” play ground ball as the official ball in the grade school series. History Teacher: and now, Elmer, how many poles are there? Elmer: They is seventeen lives next door to us. the championship series. Fred Turner is to be Miss Carrie Phillip’s assistant in coaching base ball. Saturday morning and after noon after school finds Fred on the playground and even though those reporting are small in size they will learn some of the fine points of the game and will soon be a team that Spring St. will be proud of. South Buffalo and Training School enter teams in the series and are the dark horses and lend an outside interest to the contest. SIMPSON ST. PUPILS LIKE PICTURES The pupils of the first grade, Miss Graham, teacher, have become very much interested in picture study.

On one side of the church the big people looked for eggs and the little peo ple looked in front of the church. The little folks had four hundred candy eggs. Everybody except me, even little babies, found some eggs. I looked hard because I wanted the prize but did not find an egg. Then we played some. I had a good time that evening. —Eunice Barbour, 3A. An Easter Egg Hunt Last Easter I went on an Easter egg hunt. It was at my Sunday school teacher’s house. She hid thirty-six eggs and I found the most of all. I found fifteen of them. There were six there. They found different numbers of them. Then we went in and had some ice cream and cake. She took us home in her car. I certainly did have a good time. Charles Smith, Grade 3A.
