HISTORY Of THE
LEBANON PARK
STORY OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
AT ONE COUNTY SCHOOL
SCHOOL IMPROVED
Ladies Take H?kTonr. Make Many
Changes for the Better in
School.
It was during thc administration of
Prof. Abrams that tho Idea of organ
izing a civic association' was sug
gested by him. The baro suggestion
was enough for that peerless and tire
less community worker, Mrs. J. G.
Duckworth. She talked and worked
and agitated until she got together
enough women to organize. This, how
ever as an organization, was a.failure.
In the meantime, Mrs. Duckworth'and
her co-worker Mrs. Breazeale, went to
work along civic lines, determined to
win a prize, for the Lebanon school.
Accordingly, they decided to-have a
school park. For thft . purpose Mrs.
Hreazeale gave, a plot of ground mid
way between the school house and the
Bpring. By dint of hard work, and
gottlng a little work from the men and
persuading tho school children to lend
a hand, the park began to "develop.
Some kind of pavilion seemed to be
a necessary part of a park. V jre was
no1 fund from which to draw, so Mrs.
Duckworth, at her own expense, had a
large and comfortable pavilion built
The name "Lebanon School Park"
In large black' letters on a white
ground, was hung over the lower en
trance. Some of the boys contributed
rustic bird houses and bridges. A col
lection was taken and enough money
raised to buy a good swing. Scattered
here and there were flower beds and
mounds.
This park secured a prize of fifty
dollars In the school. About this
time Mrs. Duckworth became ill and
had to give up public service. But
Mrs. Breapealo was faithful and kept
things going until the fall ot 1913.
At thlB Urne Mrs. Maggie Garllngton,
supervisor of rurol schools, cam? tip
to the opening of the school. Shh asked
the. ladles to organize a Behool im
provement association. After explain
ing its. purpso, the. ladles became quito,
enthusiastic .and proceeded at once to
elect officers us follows: Mrs?. A. J..
Smith, president; Mrs. J. 3. Eux?Ui,
vice-president, and Mrs. D.M. Graig,
secretary, and treasurer. A program
was arranged and the time ot meeting
was te. bc each Friday afternoon be
fore the first Sunday. , ?
The first -work the association did
was to secure a janitor and. have the
school house thoroughly swept at
least once a day. For this* purpose each
pupil paid ten cents per month.
The main purpose .of the. associa
tion seen became apparent and that
was to make money. To this end it
was not a/ great' 8ucce?s. However, by
the help Of bur good friend, Capt. Tay
lor, the auction netted something over
fifty dollars. ' ? %
We asked tho ohurch to donate their
old organ to tho school. This was
cheerfully done and Mr. Marshall
Smith put lt In good repair at a cost
of five dollars. ;
? The old school house having no aud
itorium, Mrs. Duckworth proposed to
havo seats* built on one sido of the
pavilion. This waa agreed to, and she
was appointed lo have the work. done.
Fortunately, the lay of tho ground was
such that the seats could be arranged
in tho form bf an amphitheater. After
.the carpenter bad finished his work,
thc ladies bought some, creosote and
gave tho eeete a good coat
Our 1913-1914 commencement ex
. efclses were held In tho park;' and it
was delightful to .'nave tho pure freBh
air Instead of tho stale air ot the
overorowdod school room. Our asso
ciation has several gas torches which
furnish plenty of light
The association furnished dinner
tor" the county T?achers' Association.
It ia wonderful how willingly Gio
members contribute . refreshments
when requested to do . so.1 '
During tho month ot August a mu
sical entertainment was planned. Sev
eral fiddlers in te neighborhood were
' asked to asslBt In furnishing music
Fortunately Mrs. C. 33/Elgin was vis
iting her mother; and she consented
to drUl tho children and young tfeeplb
in einging sor^e songs. Before - the
music began.'we proposed to fd"-'ice
cream. Several churns were dOWUea
by ladies who were not - monitors.
Some ot Gie ladies wero asked ;i0-ft&
nish supper for tho fiddlers. After
.retting ovorythlng ready, we vero
doomed to msappolntih?nt. The .lot?
drouth was broken by a W JJ?;
PrAaantly tho sun shono out, .and lt
looked Uko tho o vening J?*
beautiful, but in an hour's time it was
. bining again, .We moved .the{cream
and ?upper from the patk into tno
Sol house, but PO^jtogjJJp
got her children ia as good, shape- as
.possible: Alter their songs^o^fUU

bom aiM-oao-of w.Xom wo are Justly
Sd Ke made t?ehoola Ronero*?
offer; but wo aro not Able to meet tho
conditions^ ^ gave 'vy ab'ut
ten dollars.
At the September meeting Mrs. J. D.
Welborn pr. losed that we 'give tho
new faculty an open air reception dur
ing the afternoon of tho opening day.
Mr. Pelton, county superintendent and
Misa Maggio Garllington, supervisor
of rural echools, wera invited, and
Mr. Smoak, editor of the Intelligencer,
came with them. After the introduc
tions, Mr. Robbies, master of ceremo
nies, called on Mr. Felton for a speech.
He responded in lils usual happy Btyle.
M?BB Carlington was called next She
plead Ht ugo fright; but standing at her
seat, Bhe gaye our society much en
couragement She IB to blame for this
article. Mr. Smoak waa introduced
and gave a fine address. Everybody
was carried away with the new editor.
Mr. Robbins now asked the new prin
cipal, Prof. P. W. Jayroe, for. a few
remarks., He expressed his apprecia
tion of the interest manifested in
school work, and promised his hearty
co-operation and best effort to make
an "efficient" school.
The high school girls served re
freshments, and the guests were kind
enough to say that they enjoyed this
part o? the program.
A few days before school opened,
the association met it the school
house armed with brooms, mops,
dust cloths, disinfectants, etc. Tho
honorary members brought wagons,
barrels,. buckets, rakes, and hoes. The
old school house just rejoiced when
the ladies got through with' it The
yard, including under the house, was
terraced, scraped and swept. That
waa a sure enough "cleanup" day;,
and we are so glad that our teachers
show their appreciation by keeping
the house and grounds spick and
span.
While our main business* ls trying
to make money, yet this ls only a
means to attain our real purpose, with
modern equipment and hearty co-op
eration between the home and school.
To accomplish these things, we must
have every man and woman in the
district enlisted In the work.
If our aim is not accomplished, lt
will not be the fault of our president,
for ehe is faithful and alert In the dis
charge of her duties, and is every
ready and willing to work.

O Cr1
o DR. WEDEMAN'S ADDRESS o
o o
ooooooooooooooooo
The following is a summary of an
address delivered by Dr. S. J. Wide
man at health day Celebration exer
clae8 at Townvllle high school Tues
day, November 17. This address has
been commented upon most favorably
and is worthy careful reading:
."Self Preservation of the Body.
In. tho first place, to preserve our j
bodies wo should dress according to'
tho season..Clothing should be thin in
warm weather, and not enough cloth
ing or underwear is harmful during
the time that wo need it We would
not be heir to os many aches and
pains if wo would pay strict atteatlon
to ourselves along this line.
We should take a bath daily ot olive
oil soap and take time to finish with
a towel wrung out of cold"water. Dub J
tho body thoroughly all over with this
in order that pores of skin bc closed,'
then colds are not easily contracted, j
Few people take time to do this. After
taking a warm bath the pores are open
and should be closed before going out
into the air. We should never neglect
this bath, as all the Impurities of the
body pass through the pores,
ibo Inside liody.^
The teeth should be brushed twice
dally, as this toughens tho gums and
stops poisons.
By overloading the stomach a habit
which we are all apt to do sometimes,
more or less, causes; infection,
apoplexy, heart disease, liver, kldaeys
and spleen all are overworked. Thus
wc are unwillingly poisoning our
selves,, robbing ourselves of the health
God has given us.
For instance, a certain man will go
to the table, eat improperly with the
whirl of dollars in his head, will ask
a hurried blessing and perhaps get
angry at wife about some trivial mat
ter.
By eating hurriedly ho harms him
self. Stop him if you can, tell him
Jokes. Even a pleasant smile is worth
a whole lot to him.
No business or sorrow should be
brought to the table. Make tho meal
hour tho merriest hour of the day, as
this takes the blood;away from the"
brain and makes the stomach work.
. We can form some idea of how
Rockefe?lor. valrx-J his digestion. At
one time he offered a man $1,000,000
to euro him .of a bad digeatiqn. .
Indigestion.
In order to digest our food properly,
it ls Important that we masticate our
food thoroughly. The food should be
cooked well, or would bo' likely, to
produce abscess o? l!";?r. cancer, eic.
Also big biscuits are bad. Small bis
cuits aro much better to digest Bad
cooked dumplings is another, also pie
crust (s barely- , ever ?coked done
enough to be eaten.
Take care to' not eat too much. If
you est too much at one meal, try do
ing w. lu out at the next one.
Constipation.
It 1B believed that from 65 to 85 per
coat of Gie peoplo suffer from consti
pation. 'There i? u? doubt tu?t moot
oil diseases start from this. .
Invalids suffer moat from lt It be
gins as a habit and ends In a disease.
There should be a fixed time for all
things. For Instance, every morning
ls the time to reliove the body ot these
wastes.
This causo, though can easily he
remedied. "A stiivh in time saves
nine." . . :jr
Most phyaicians will tell you also
dentists, that it ls much easier to rem
edy a disease before it becomes'
chronic, and as I said before, go to the
doctor, hunt the cause and cleon:up
and keep clean.
