"STATE SUPERVISOR
PLEASED WITH WORK
AT TRYON SCHOOL"
\ ________
Miss Hattie Parrott, assistant
school supervisor of this state, spent
Tuesday, January 26th, inspecting the
work being done by the pupils and
teaching force of the Tryon School.
Miss Parrott was very much pleased
with the work and states: "The work
at the Tryon School is of a high
quality. It compares with the work
done in the larger schools in this
state."
Miss Parrott was particulary
pleased with the interesst shown by
the pupils and teachers in their work.
She spoke of the general condition of
contentment that existed throughout
the school and the great prjde that
the pupils showed towards their work
and school.
Miss Parrott says: "By all means,
get your school on the standard elementary
list." Two .more sets of
supplementary readers in each room
will place the Tryon School on this
list.
More playground equipment is needed
at Tryon School.
BOYS' AND GIRLS'
AGRICULTURAL CLUBS
During the recent Annual Conference
of County and Home Demonstration
Agents, club work was discussed
more than any other phase of county
agents' work. ?Therefore we may conclude
that it is of prime importance
to the individual, the community and
the county.
The reason why this is brought to
your attention is explained by the
action taken by all county agents at
the conference referred to above.
County agents in each of the five districts
in North Carolina voted on the
county in^their district in which they
wanted Boys' and Girls' Clubs organized
and carried on for demonstration
purposes under the supervision of a
specialist.
Due to the influence of Mr. J. R
Sams, and his appeal for the work,
Polk county received the greatest
number of votes; therefore as we
have been 'thus honored, it DenooveE
us to pool our efforts and make a
success of dlub activities during the
year. **
At least one Agricultural Club will
be organized in each township where
the young people and their parents
are in sympathy with the movement
It is hoped that both jchildren and
parents will foresee the benefits de
rived from the training! in these pro
posed clubs, and that they will co
operate with the home and count)
