The first semester of the scholas-
tic year 1930-31, which ended Fri-
day, has been a reasonably success-
ful one, according to O. L. Davis,
superintendent of the city schools.
The new semester will start Mon-
day morning, January 1, with an en-
rollment of about 1040.
On the whole the enrollment has
fallen off this year by around 200
students, as in 1929 a total of 1290
was listed. The High School has
lost 70 and the Junior High 80 of
the 200. Since Christmas between
40 and 50 new pupils have been en-
tered in North Ward, and about 36
in the High School.
"We contribute the loss in enroll-
ment to the fact that many tran-
sients who were here a year and two
years ago, because of a scarcity of
Jobs everywhere, failed to come
back,” Mr. Davis said. “The enroll-
ment now is more of a stable one
than it has ever been during the
oil boom and era of prosperity. At
that time, we had more trouble, es-
pecially with the free textbook
which the students would carry off
when their parents decided to move.
We tost around $1000 In books this
year and last."
Few changes have been made in
the sohools during the past semes-
ter. One new course has been of-
fered, Journalism, and an effort will
be made to get this affiliated in the
spring The library has had a good
growth and $500 worth of books
were bought during the year,
Only two changes will be made in
the curriculum for the coming se-
mester when economics will be sub-
stituted for civics and advanoed
arithemetlc substituted for com-
mercial geography.
No new teachers will be employed
for the new semester, but several
changes will be made. Monday. Mrs.
John Olasscock will be transferred
from North Ward to take the place
of Mrs. J. H. Morris who has re-
signed her position in South Ward.
Mrs. Gerald Mayfield will take over
Mrs. Olaaacock's room, her own stu-
dents In the high fifth grade being
transferred to tlie sixth grade In
Junior High. By these changes and
co-operation among the teachers tr.
dividing the work, the school board
hopes to cut expenses for the year.
Scholastic standing this year has
been high, and few failure* will be
recorded In the high school. Mr.
Davis says. The school will gradu-
ate around 29 seniors at the close
of the year, the smallest number
in several years Last year there
were 52 seniors, but the class of
1931 has been small aU through high
school Only one senior. Holmes
Brannon, will finish his work with
the dose of this semester. He srtll
receive his diploma In May
Sport* and other activities have
measured up *r*U along with
scholarship.” Mr Davis said, "and
we hop* the coming semester will
be as successful '
All Out of Children’s Wear; Hill
Seeks Champion in Growing Contest
&•
Whose children are the cham-
pions in outgrowing clothing?
Children’s Clothing, First Aisle to
yie Right, is all out, and Guy Hill
is thinking of beginning a contest
among fond mothers, so that the
outgrown wearing apparel may be
donated to the sadly empty shelves
of his “Charity Store.” Strange as
it seems, more clothing for adults
is contributed than children's and
it is the latter which is needed the
most. •
Shoes of all sizes, underwear and
durable outer garments are badly
needed, Mr. Hill says, and the styles
won't be considered at all In ac-
cepting any contribution. Needy
parents ask for warm clothing for
for the members of the United
Charities, whose store it is, to keep
any on the shelves.
About the only time one can af-
ford to be sentimental is when
everyone is happy, and this year
isn't the time. Few mothers can
resist the hiding of outgrown cloth-
ing in the basement when the three
or four year old has shot up into
school age. Now is the time to be-
lieve in fatalism, and that “the pur-
pose” behind the hiding was to save
the things for those who are needy
this winter. There, but for a strange
fate, might walk yourself.
Even Alice In Wonderland this
time would change her song and
say: “The time has come, the wal-
rus said, to speak of many things:
their children when they wouldn’t Of shoes and socks and overcoats—
for themselves, and it is a hard task Instead of cabbages and kings,”

fessional men have been considered

ports from th* committee which
passes on candidates. Invitations

changes, and as a consequence sev-
eral old members are expected to
ask for re-instatement in addition
to several new members who are
expected to Join. Re-instatement
fee Is $2.50.
Friday's program eras featured by
a reading and discussion of the by-
laws and constitution of the club
by Clayton Heare, chairman of the
entertainment committee. He an-
nounced the committee is working
on some good entertainment num-
bers to be presented soon. J. H.
Cox, Jr., manager of “M" System
Grocery, was initiated by Lion
Heare. assisted by Lion Ouy Hill.

ing freight and passenger agent of

consumers was raised from 3,000 to
5,000 gallons at the regular meeting
of the city council Thursday night.
Mayor G. C. Berkley announced.
The minimum charge remains $2.00
and the change becomes effective
after March 20.
This action was taken as a means
of encouraging beautification and
home gardening, said Mayor Berk-
ley, many property owners having
complained that they were unable
to pay for all the water needed for
these purposes according to the old
schedule.
Members of the council are hope-
ful property owners will take ad-
vantage of the new schedule and
beautify their premises this spring
and summer. The average consum-
er will be able to use sufficient
water for yard and garden without
exceeding the minimum very much.
This plan has been tried In sev-
eral cities and found very success-
ful, said the mayor. The city will
not lose any revenue and since there
Is plenty of water available there la
no reason why It should not be used
for public good, he said.
UNITED CHARITIES
BEGIN SOUTH SIDE
CLOTHING CANVASS
MRS. JOE BARNHART LEADER
OF HOUSE TO HOUSE
CHARITY DRIVE
A house to house canvass will be
made in the south side of town this
week by a committee of women
working in co-operation with the
United Charities of the city, Mrs.
Joe Barnhart will be in charge of
the work.
Women of the town are asked to
look over old clothes and have ready
any which they would like to give to
the organization. Children’s cloth-
ing is needed the worst, and any
serviceable garment will be appre-
ciated by the women. Household
equipment, shoes, caps, or any use-
ful article also will be taken up In
the drive.
Four women are In charge of the
Charity organization's work In the
city, and each has been given a
separate part of the town to work
in. Mrs. Harry Mundy is in Charge
of the northwest portion of the
city; Mrs. T. J. Potts of the north-
east; Mrs. Joe Barnhart of the
south; and Mrs. E. R. Tinsley of
the portion south of the railroad.
Drives for clothing and other ar-
ticles probably will be made In all
sections of the town soon.
Officials state that it Is Impos-
sible for the organization to buy
enough new clothing to take care of
the demand. Guy Hill, In charge of
the organization's "store,” states
that every precaution Is taken to
give the supplies only where they
are needed, but even then, the
shelves often are empty.
Children's clothing la needed mart
badly, the women say. Almost every
mother has a suppy of outgrown
cothing which poor chldren ooukl
wear for months. Every housewife
is expected to have ready some ar-
ticle to contribute when the drive
starts this week. If any house is
missed where clothing Is waiting, a
call to committee chairmen, or to
Mr. Hill will bring someone to col-
lect It.
