Irene Clay, a sophomore, just en
tered G. H. S. this year from Brazil
where her father was a missionary.
She tells many interesting facts about
the schools and school children in
Brazil.
“The public schools, which are not
very numerous, run only to the fourth
grade. The children must be ten years
old before they can enter the schools.
“The school day is divided into two
periods: from seven in the morning
until eleven, when the boys study and
then go home; then the girls come at
twelve and remain until four in the
afternoon. They have school six days
a w"eek due to the short sessions each
day.
“The seasons there are opposite
from ours, for their winter months
are June, July, and August; and the
rest is summer. They have two weeks
vacation in June and their summer
vacation in December and Jauary.
There are many holidays for they cele
brate all saints days, and also many
national holidays. There are any
where from twenty-five during the
school year besides the regular vaca
tion.
“The children are compelled to wear
shoes to school because of the germs.
In poor families they buy one pair of
shoes for two children. They each
wear one shoe and bandage up the
other foot and make believe it is hurt.”
NEWS BRIEFS
A La Todd
Mr. Homer Coletrane, member of the
Greensboro Lligh School faculty, was
yesterday seen punishing, in a violent
manner, one of his pupils. It seems
that the poor unfortunate was caught
in a red-handed attempt at flirting
with the coaches’ favorite observer
from N. C. It is thought that the cul
prit had been asleep, and, awakening,
got his periods mixed, else the event
would never have happened. (Moral:
Give all masculine teachers first choice
of observers, and then, divide the re
mainder of them among your class
mates.)
P. T. A. INSTITUTE MEETS
AT COURTHOUSE OCT. 19
Dr. W. H. Livers, Mr. Frederick Archer
and Mr. Charles Phillips Are
Principal Speakers
George B. Wynne was yesterday ar
raigned before the School Board on
two grave accounts.
The first charged the noted criminal
with the teaching of eimlution on one
of his classes. This charge would have
been overlooked by the board had he
not taken as an example for his lec
ture, Finley Atkisson, specimen at G.
H. S. One of A. C. Hattaway’s mon
keys heard of the comparision and de
manded that the insultor of his kind
be brought to justice. For this crime
Wynne had fifty cents docked from his
pay. He broke down and sobbed when
judgment was ruled.
The second offense charged the Pro
fessor with maliciously falling to sleep
in the midst of one of his lectures.
The only redeeming feature that he
had in this case, was that his slum
bers did not effect his lecture. He
has all his courses memorized, and so,
when he fell asleep most of the pupils
did not know the difference, though
some objected that he talked too loud
while asleep, thus keeping them awake.
Wynne smiled widely as the board
fined him only a dime on this count.
Mr. Archer, Recorder of the Court, ex
plained that the wild night-life of
Wynne was a big factor in his drowsi
ness. An usher from the National The
atre corroborated this statement, say
ing that he had seen the teacher at the
show at least three times in the last
month.

A meeting of the leaders of the in
stitute of Parent-Teachers Association
leaders and members was held in the
teachers’ assembly room of the court
house beginning Tuesday morning, Oc
tober 18, at 10 o’clock and ending at 3
o’clock. A brief history of the Parent-
Teacher movement opened the morning
session. At 11 o’clock, W. H. Livers,
of the faculty of North Carolina Col
lege, gave points on the best manner
of determining a program of work for
the Greensboro chapter of the Parent-
Teacher Association. Dr. A. P. Kep-
hart, also of the North Carolina Col
lege, spoke for a few minutes on how
to deA’-elop an interest in Parent-Teach
er work, and how to put the idea across
to the community through publicity.
At the dinner conference Frederick
Archer, superintendent of the Greens
boro public schools, discussed the edu
cational significance of the Parent-
Teachers Association movement, and
Charles IV. Phillips, principal of
Greensboro High School, gave reasons
for and advantages of coming in con
tact with state and national organiza
tions.
Mrs. W. W. Martin, one of the organ
izers of the Parent-Teachers work, gave
an account of its beginning and told
something of her early life in school.
Mrs. Wiley Swift, state president of
the Congress of Parents and Teachers,
^.old of the legislative aims of the or
ganization.
Friday afternoon, October 8, about
thirty-five girls gathered in front of
the main building for the first hike
of the season. Miss Ruth Reynolds
and Miss Emily Wright were the
leaders of this group of girls. The
girls hiked to Pomona to see the
Greensboro reserve and Pomona in ac
tion. Six and a quarter miles were
covered by the girls on this hike.
Plays to Be Given
By Dramatics Club
(Continued from Page One)
“The Trysting Place” by Booth
Tarkington, has an unusual plot. It
has to do with the difficulties of three
couples who planned to meet at the
same place. There is excellent char
acter development in this play, and
clever lines. The cast for it includes
Leon Wells as Lancelot Briggs, Page
Howard as Mrs. Curtis, Jane Harris
as Jessie Briggs, Tullulah Matheny
as Mrs. Briggs, Ernest Scarboro as
Rupert Smith, J. D. McNairy, Jr., as
Mr. Ignolesby, and Henry Weiland as
the Mysterious Voice.
“A Pan and Two Candle Sticks” by
Mary MacMillan has a quaint setting
with a modern plot. The lines are
attractively written with many touches
of humor. It will be played by Elilda
Davidson in the role of Nancy, Louis
Brooks as Hugh, and Joe Mann as
Ralph.
“The Florist Shop,” by a member of
the famous workshop of Harvard,
Winifred Hawkridge, is considered one
of the best one act plays written in
recent years. It deals with a situa
tion which confronts one almost every
day yet of which they are not usually
aware. The roles will be played by
Nell Applewhite as Maude, Edward
Stainback as Henry, Macon Crocker
as Slovsky, Doris Hogan as Miss
Wells, and Joe Mann as Mr. Jackson.
The back stage work will be done
by the members of the cast with J. D.
McNairy, Jr., as stage manager. The
business end will be handled by Harry
Gump and Mr. Blair. Miss Bliss is
coaching the plays. Edmund Turner
is making the artistic posters.
“After wondering thousands of years
how to fix their hair, women finally
cut it off.”—Davidsonian, Davidson
College.
Every Saturday morning the all-city
band, the advance High School band,
the all-city orchestra, and a violin
class meet at G. H. S. for practice.
There are about 150 students present

the different grammar schools of the
city as wmll as from the High School.

ternate in conducting the band and
orchestra, Avhile Miss Inogene Boyles
has the classes in violin.
Approximately 30 boys and girls at
tend the beginners band and there are
also 30 in the all-city band which has
students from the grammar schools
and High School. The High School
band has about bO players. Miss
Imogene Boyles has 80 pupils in her
violin classes.
The bands and orchestras in the
city schools are made up of both High
School and grammar grade students
except the High School band. There
are approximately 30 boys and girls
who attend the beginners class. The
all-city band meets with about 30 peo
ple. The High School band has about
40 people in it. Miss Imogene Boyles
has about 80 pupils in her violin
classes.
Supreme Court Reverses
Decision of Judge Webb
(Continued from Page One)
the entire issue. The 30-cent tax levy
was held to be properly passed and
may be collected to defray expenses for
the nine months school term and to
retire the bonds. In short, the court
held fliat everything the city has done
to clarify the school situation and to
go forward with educational improA’e-
ment is legal and that Judge Webb
erred in his ruling in upholding the
injunction perpetually restraining the
county from exercising any control over
the new district and from issuing the
bonds and collecting the special 30-cent
tax.
The decision which has been eagerly
awaited by sclicol officials means that
the school program which has been tied
up can now go forward. The building
program will be started soon and the
committee appointed by the county
board of education to operate the
schools in the Greater Greensboro dis
trict will assume complete jirisdiction
and push the work rapidly forward in
developing the schools recently added
to the city system.
The following is an extract from a
letter from Lee H. Edwards, former
piincipal of the Greensboro High
School who is now principal at Ashe
ville, to C. W. Phillips:
“You should have been at the Ashe
ville game. Beyond a doubt, it was the
best high school football game I have
ever seen. Your boys put up a gallant
fight, and we were sorely pressed many
times. I think you have every reason
to be proud of the boys, even though
the score was against them. It was
a great personal pleasure to have them
here, and I think the children in this
school had just as much fun entertain
ing them as it was possible for young
people to have.”
Saturday morning, October 9, the
Girl Scouts of the First Baptist church
went on a breakfast hike beyond the
Masconic Home. They were accom
panied by their captain, Miss Inabelle
Coleman.
