lick him sure as heaven." It is
very true that the public school
is not an institution that should
monopolize the attention of the
community but it should com
mand and receive sufficient notice
to insure its usefulness. Children
learn most readily from example
and when the example of indiffer
ence or hostility toward the
school is set them by their elders
they are on?y too ready to follow
Third The true teacher will
keep constantly in view the high
est and best good of his pupils
and not allow himself to relax
either in rules or discipline merely
for the sake of gaining the im
mediate good will of either pupils
or parents. Let him remember
that his pupils will soon become
citizens and that his great and
constant duty is to give them
such instruction and discipline
as will tend best to prepare
them for the duties of good
citizenship. Soon the boys of
today will become men, a power-
ful influence for good or evil.
Which it shall he depends largely
upon those who shape theor. early
discipline and education.
Teachers, do not forget that in
no very small way you "decide
the character and influence of
the men and women of the future.
In discharge of every duty, labor
tor the future good and useful
ness of your pupils. Though
the yoke may bear heavily on you
and often times discouragements
beset you and you fail to receive
justly merited approbation and
appreciation of patrons and
trustees, still you have this con
solation, that in the conscientious
and faithfnl adherence to your
convictions of duty you are
building for yourselves a name
and a character and influence
that will outlive the marble
monuments that will be erected
over the graves of those who
seem to have been more honored
and when they have gone down
to their graves, in cultured minds
and believing hearts and in trust
ing souls, all over the country
will the memory of the modest
and faithful teacher be perserved
with gratitude and tears.

preciated by the people of this lo
cality. .Superintendent' Denman

galore, which seemed to increase

to make their appearance with
well filled baskets and hearty
hand shakes. : After a few min
utes spent, on preliminary work
the program was commenced.
E. P. Jones gave the opening
address entitled "Winning of the
West" The speaker showed
that he had given the subject
much thought. Beginning with
the earlier history of . the country
he showed how the. West had
slowly grown up to a time when
she began to forge ahead with
leaps and bounds until she is get
ting to be the pride of the Ameri
can people, and time only will
reveal what is in store for her!
when her natural resources are
developed.

Districts" was taken up and dis
cussed by P. F. May berry and J.
G. Gibson.-
The noon hour having arrived
and Supt. Denman looking a lit
tle bit, lank did not hesitate long
in announcing that dinner was
ready; and only those that were
present can appreciate the good
things that were in store for the
faithful people who stemmed the
storm of last Saturday to do their
part toward making the meeting
a success, and needless to say we
did it justice, there was plenty
for all and some to spare.
The literary part furnished by
the different schools was excel
lent. The Oak grove school
was well represented. Misses
Vina Mayberry. Mable Jones,
Pearl Williamson and Hazel
Woodward recited ; Mesdames
Knapp and Ingalls furnished two
select r ieces of music. Rich
land and Cloverdale were well
represented. Sup. Denman en
tertained the little folks, and
not a few of the older ones,
with his phonograph, after which
we began to wend our way home
ward, feeling that we had been
well paid for our long trip over
muddy roads.
