School Notes.
In the last issue of the Post-
Signal some one kindly called
attention to pressing need of
more room for the department
of manual training. We should
like to emphasize the statement
mide then, and to remind tie
patrons that this branch of school
work ha.* proved to be the strong
est incentive we have e\er yet
known in stimulating an interest
in school among the boys. The
results speak for themselves in
the increased attendance and the
amount and quality of wcrk that
is now being done. It is remark-
able that there are more boys in
the higher grades than there are
girls. It ought to be gratifying
to the people of this town that
such a condition exists. We
prophesy that the aldition cf
these industrial departments to
the school will, if properly man-
aged, bring around wonderful
changes in a very short time.
The work for the girls is equal-
ly as gratifying. The instruction
here seems to be a matter of de-
light to everyone. If this is not
educating, for efficiency and fu-
ture usefulness, what do these
terms mean.
We have received a letter from
the president of Texas Congress
of Mothers and Parent-Teacher
Association, calling attention to
the annual meeting to be held in
Austin, Oct. 12-15. Credentials
were inclosed for an authorized
delegate from our town. This
is one of the great organizations
for securing and maintaining the
cooperation of parents and teach-
ers, and Pilot Point by all means
should have a representative at
the conference. We would sug-
gest that the joint educational
committee of the Ladies' Clubs
take this matter up at their next
meeting.

haunts and that cold weather will

J. C. O'Brien's Famous
Georgia Minstrels.
Our city is soon to be visited
by a good old fashioned negro
minstrel. Do you remember the
first minstrel show you ever at-
tended, the funny end men, and
their laughable jokes; the inter-
locutor, setting up so high in the
middle of the circle; the singers,
dancers, coon shouters; every
specialty a good one? Well,
they are coming again to freshen
the memories of the old, and to
bring smiles of pleasure to the
young. J O'Brien's Famous
Georgia J. als will exhibit at
Pilot Point, _>ot. 14 under the
largest tented theatre in the
world. The parade of this
company is a thing of beauty;
good music; twelve of the pret-
tiest Creoles in the world; the
finest street wardrobe ever worn
by a minstrel show; coon shout-
ing and cake-walking; all free
on the principal street at noon.
Don't miss this free show and
concert.
XIX Century Club.
The opening meeting of the
XIX Cenlury Club was with
Misi Bessie Drake at the hospit-
able home of Mrs. Whitten on
Wednesday afternoon. Miss
Drake graciously welcomed the
members at the door and Mrs.
Whitten gave to each the ''cup
of cheei"-delicious, cool, refresh-
i ig punch. An informal reception
was held among the members
for a few minutes. Smiling faces
and harty hand clasps told how
glad all were to be together again
after the five months vacation.
At a little after three the new
president, Miss Drade, called the
house to order. Several items
of business were attended to, af-
ter which she announced the
first number of the afternoon
program, a piano selection by
Mrs F. A. Hayden which was
much enjoyed. The president's
address followed. "Is it worth
while?" furnished a fitting title.
She asked and answered the
questions, Is it worth while to be
a member of the XIX Century
Club? telling many of the reason
why it is worth while and closing
with the following poem.
Would you like to feel you're living?
Join a club.
Would you help the world by giving?
Join a club.
Would you save the public health,
Help Carnegie spend his weaith,
Guard the people's purse from stealth?
Join a club.
Would you have a good work done?
Get your club.
Show dark corners to the sun ?
Get your club.
Have your party to be a winner?
Separate the saint and sinner?
Give the hungry man his dinner?
Use your club.
But for satisfaction snrely,
We're the Club.
B°u"il in one by friendship purely
We're tli* Club-
Twenty hearts that beat together,
Come dark da\ s or sunuy weather;
Ask us, we wilt ieli you whether,
We're tin- Club.
Mrs. Miller.
The address was enthusiastic-
ally received.
Miss Johnson next entertained
with one ol her charming read-
ings.
It was unanimously voted
that Mrs. Annie Ross be
asked to tell something of her
recent trip to Europe at next
meeting which will be with Mies
MoK^nney. Roll call was re-
sponded to with vacation exper-
iences. It was a pleasure to
hear Miss Drake's response, a
brief sketch of her own and Miss
Evans' trip to Chautauqua, re-
turning by steamer from New
York to Galveston.
After roll call, club adjourned,
but the good things were not yet
done, for the hostess served a
delightful salad and fruit course,
and Misses Katie Garner and
Verna McKnight played for us
one of their p rettiest duets, for
