Seven Springs has produced an
outstanding leader in the field of
education and leadership for boys.
Lawrence W. Jarman son of the
ate Mr. and Mrs. Tom Jarman.
iias been teaching in Richmond
Schools for many years. He taught
in John Marshall High for a num
br of years ffien transferred to the
Thomas Jefferson High. He has an
A.B., and M.A. degree and only
lacks about a summer session of
having a Ph.D. degree. Also he has
a law degree. He was once otfered
a partnership with the former Gov
ernor Ehringhouse of Elizabeth
City and also with Langstou, Tay
lor and Allei in Goldsboro.
Mr. Jarman is truly a credit to
the community of Seven Springs.
He owns a peach orchid near there.
The following appeared in "The
Common wealth" a magazine pub
I lished in Virginia:
"The statement that inherent abil
ities are required by an individual
i to be a inspirational teacher or a
toj-flight scientific investigator is
not generally accepted. Many are
of the opinioin that sufficient train
ing is'ail that is required to be high
ly proficient in any field "of endea
vor. With this premise the writer
cannot agree
There are in the secondary
schools of Virginia many teachers

Club and other varied clubs she
had been called upon to serve as
officer and committee member in
all these groups. She was the owner
of -two silver cups awarded her for
papers written for the North Caro
lina Federation of Woman's Clubs.
The 1939 and 1940 papers were
based on "Women in Politics in Du

As Superintendent of Public

her home folks, but also of the State
Organization. In political circles she
was well known. In religious circles
she was an unmistakable leader.
Duplin County and the world is
decidedly a better place in which

FRIDAY,

W. Jarman
of science whose formal education
is excellent. Yet, a few weeks ago,
when the committee of awards of
the Virginia Section of the Ameri
can Chemical Society began its
search for a master t her of chem
istry in the high schools, it found
that those eligible for such recog
nition were exceedingly few.
This search proved conclusively
that the chemists of Virginia had
made an extremely wise decision
in honoring each year an outstand
ing high school teacher of science,
simply because such an individual
as a rule, is not appreciated and is
seldom recognized until he or she
goes into industry or moves out of
Virginia to teach elsewhere. More
public recognition of our inspira
tional, secondary school teacher :
would not only encourage them to
continue their valuable instruction
al work in Virginia but would un
doubtedly raise the standing of the
whole teaching profession in this
area.
This year's distinguished service
award of the Virginia SecUon of
the American Chemical Society was
won by Lawrence W. Jarman, head
of the science department at Tho
mas Jefferson High School in Rich
mond. During each of the last five years,
one or more of Mr. Jarman's stu
dents have received honorable men
tion in the National Science Talent
Search Contest. Of 39 pupils enter
ed in the Talent Search Conies', in
1947, thirteen were selected for
awards or honorable mention. In
1948, of 48 pupils entered by him.
11 were chosen. In the state chem
istry contest, sponsored by thj
College of William and Mary, his
pupils have won more than the
pupils of all other schools ccm
bined. Mr. Jarman is a great inspirer of
youths of aptitudes for scientific
studies. More such teachers are
needed in the public schools of
Virginia."

A Soul
By: BOB GRADY
A soul has gone
To its renting place
He gave his all
In man's raee
He fought for our Country
And in this fight
He never gave thought
Of his own plight.
He was a hero
In tho Army of War
But a greater Hero
To the town of Warsaw.
He was admired and loved
By all who knew him.
