WImw were the 424 boys and the
297 glrla aot enrolled la aay sohool
iathfM forty-one country district
laetawath?
We 4 aot say that this aUU of
affairs ezitta ia this county and not
ia aay other. We suppose that pa
tron Mad papils to sohool as regular
ly ia this couaty as in any other in
the state.
We do know that many parents
sheald be snore thoughtful of their
children's welfare both present and
fatare, and should not allow so many
f any t icauin out of sohool whilo
it la ia session.
A great deal of missionary work
aheald be doae by the earnest teacher
in his district by pleading and reason
ing with parents to send their chil
dren to sehool. Sohool officers should
insist upoa having all children of
aehool age in school whilo it is in ses
sion. Igaeraaoe is the worst enemy that
ear country has to fight.
The time that it takes our boys and
girls to grow to the ago of manhood
aad womanhood passes ere wo are
aware of it, Thsy should go to
sehool so that thoy tatj booomo intoll
Igeat, iadopendont thinkers, cood
UUeas, not more tools, dull-edged at
tkat.
Parents, you aro responsible for the
iatelligeaoo or for tho ignorance of
the rising generation. Why not uso
the amas at hand for their advaoou
suiBt intellectually and morally, tho
publio lohool in your own district ?
Utker reports will be given in this
column during tho year. Wo hope
tor an Improvement in attendance in
ar schools.
A teachers' meeting was held at
lilue Hill on last Saturday, Oot. 20,
'92. Twenty-ono teaobers were pros-
at No foreaoon seision was held,
bat the exercises in the afternoon were
iatemting. A groat deal of good
practical work was done during tho
few hears devoted to the program.
8eme excellent papers were read,
questions oa the reading oirole
work were presented, and Bearly all
present took part ia tho meeting in
omo 'way. Prof. Thornton was alios
a secretary of tho meeting. Only
OM af those oa the program for work
did at respond, So far this school
yeai ewr meetings have been a success.
Daring the month of November
two meetings will bo held; one at
Ouido Rock, Saturday, tho 10th, one
at Bladon, Saturday, tho 20th.
A few of our toachors aro giving
the teachers' meetings no attention.
It is thought that their object is to
step out of the buaincs of teaohing
soon.
A few teaehers' moathly reports
are paat due. Many reports have
been received that show an improve
ment in grading and in tho uso of the
8tato Course of Study.
