TRAINING SCHOOL IS
DOING A GOOD WORK
State Dtpwtnal ReprmnUtlV
Talk. To Faculty And
Studant.
(BY JAS. R- WALTER)
"0 watch, fight and pray for you
know not th? day nor the honr whan
the Son of Man cometh." Aa far as
the achool goes, this biblical phrmae
could be fittingly and truthfully ex
preaaed aa O, watch, fight and pray
for you know not the day nor the
hour when the state officials cometh.
Only the other day when every heart
seemed in perfect tune with the
moral, sunrise, when nature 'gave
every evidence of a perfect day,
there was seen from the window a
somewhat strange figure walking
leisurely about the school campus.
The figure proved to be that of prof
essor G. H. Ferguson of the State de
partment of education who had come
to interrupt the tranquillity of the
hour.
We were indeed glad to see and
have Prof. Ferguson with ua. We
realise in him a broad, sympathetic
man whose criticisms are always con
structive and whose advice is always
sane. He spoke very encouragingly
to ua, and promised to do all in his
poWer to help us build up the kind of
training school needed in our com
munity. In his private talk to the
teachers, he said that the county
training schools had not as yet stan
darized their high school departmehta.
We were thrilled when he spoke so
encouragingly of helping us stan
dardarize our high school department.
After he had gone, we said, one to
the other, "Did not our hearts burn
within us as he talked to as."
If we have any regret at all it is
this, that after inspecting the various
rooms and departments, he asked,
"Where are your high school stud
ents?" Yes, fathers and mothers, it
hurt us to the core, but we had to tell
the truth and say, they are yet in the
cotton and peanut fields. We would
to God, that the -parents of the com
munity would.realise that cotton, to
bacco and peanuts, harvested at the
expense of the education of the chil
dren, cost a thousand times more than
they are worth. Our advice is, send
the children to school and especially
the high school children. We say so
?the county says so and the state
says so. Won't you let us have
them?
inese are busy times at the school.
Everybody is working hard preparing
for both the county and state fair.
The school is planning to put on a
number one exhibit at the fair. In
fact, we are expecting to win first
prize in school exhibits. The agricul
tural teacher is working both night
and day training his boys to take part
in a stock and corn jndging contest
that is to .be held at the state fair. We
are planning to "Bring the bacon
home," when we come back frbm Ral
eigh. Qn the coming Friday night a
program ua been planned, the pro
ceeds of which will go to aid the boys
in going to Raleigh. Come one,
come all.
FISHING FOR WILD OATS
(By Snaie Paiinr, Powellsville,
j^S, Eighth Gr.d. Pupil)
Once there lived en old fishermen
by the seeaide in e little hut He
lived elone end did all his cooking and
housework himself, for his wife hod
died end left him with en only child,
e little giii, who died. Now this old
fishermen hed e few hens which he
kept for pets. It grieved him very
much, when, one morning efter feed
ing them he counted them end found
that two of them were missing. At
once he formed the conclusion that
wildcat was eating them es there
were many wildcats in that section of
the country.
That night he baited a large hook,
fastened this to one end of a long
rope, hung the rope over a limb of
the tree in wHch Ms hen roosted, tied
the other end to his wrist and tretttto
bed, forgetting to shut the door.
The wildcat really came, gulped
down both bait and hook, thus waking
the fisherman, who began to pull in
his catch. When the frenxied animal
felt the pull he ran toward the hut,
climbed the porch vine, and leaped
into the room.
? The/sanerman had not expected
I this and it gave him a shock. He soon
rbgamed his wits, however, and began
to think how to escape the claws of
the wildcat. There was an axe near
the door wMch he kept for cutting his
fishing rode He thought of this and
edged toward it meanwhile getting a
few scratches from the wildest He
picked UP the **?> swung it around
his head and with one blow he ren
dered the fierce animal dead at his
feet Nervous and trembling he went
out to see his hens. They were safe
but the the old man made a vow to
himself that he would take his hens
to bed with him before he would fish
for another wilcat
