BdlUd By Prof. R. J. PCCL
Quite a number of the schools of
the county opened last week, and
In visiting them daring the week,
we were very sorry to find such a
attendance in some of them.
important for the chil
dren to bejfi£ »t the opening of the
session, and we sincerely hope
patrons >ill have their
children in school just vf soon as
possible. We can not afford to
keep our children out of school.
Our teachers' association meets
again tomorrow, and we hope to
see every teacher in the schools of
the county present. We feel that
these meetings are a good source of
help to the teachers; and no teacher
should fail to avail himself of the
advantages offered in them. The
time has come when we teachers
must be up and doing, for the peo-,
pie are expecting us to 1* better
equipped for our work than ever
before.
In a letter from Supt. Joyner
last night we Were informed that
under the new distribution we
could secure three more libraries
for the schools of this county. We
are very anxious to see these all
taken before the Ist of December.
Will the teachers and patrons of
the schools that have uone go to
work and raise the money at once?
This is an important step in the ad
vancement of any school and should
not be passed dy lightly.
In the pasf, we have Had some
thing to say about the teachers'
duties, and they are many; so now
we desire to say something about
the duties of committeemen and
patrons, A committeeman's duties
ar; so many and varied that they
are hard to define. They are the
real officers of the school, the
ones to whom the teacher may go
for help and inspiration. The coiiit
mitteemen should visit the school
often that they may know some
thing of condition and needs of the
school. How can they direct the
work of the school and never see
that work? What man is it that
would hire a laborer and put him
to work and never go to see how he
was doing that work? This is the
case with some committeemen.
They seem to think that the only
duty they owe the school is to hire
a teacher. It matters not how
poorly able a -committee rtian may
feel that he is to help the teachers,
if he will go in the right spirit,.his
suggestions will always Ik- appre
ciated.
Again, it appears to us that some
of the patrons of the various schools
of the county think that they have
no lot nor part in tlie work of the
school. They fail to realize that it
is their school, aud that it will be
just what they make it. No teacher
can have much success in teaching
without the heartv co-operation of
the patrons. How often it is that
teachers' go into new fields to teach
and none of the patrons think
enough of the school or the school
work to even visit the school? It
is surely the teachers' duty to visit
the patrons and show thetu that
thev are interested in them anil
their children; aud it appears to us
that it is the duty ot the patrons
to visit the school; ami show the
teacher that he is interested in the
work of the school, If patrons
could realize what inspiration their
words of encouragement are to the
teachers, they wonld be given more
freely than they a»e. The patrons
of a school must have the childrens
interest at heart or the school will
be a failure, no matter how efficient
the teacher may lie If the school
is not accomplishing what it should
accomplish, it is the patrons dutv
to go work and help remedy the
defects; not by saying harsh things
about the teacher or the school;
but by offering timely suggestions
to the teacher, and helpit*-; to get
others in heir 3 .u the work.
The progress ofxiiany a school has
been retar«H»l because the teacher
conJjL'Jot get the co-operation of
"tfie patrons.
We can not afford to treat the
school with indifference, for th«
wellfare of our children is at stake,
and we must go fowari and do our
duty. Show us a school where the
teacher and patrons are united in
their efforts for the advancement o(
the school, and we will show yon
A school that is the pride and glory
of the community in which |t is
located. We do hope to have closer
and more friendly relations between
teachers and patrons this year than
ever before.
May our people see the necessity
of being fully united in this great
work, and then, and not until then,
willl our schools reach the degree
of proficiency that they should.
The colored teachers' association
last Saturday, while not so well at
tended as the meeting before, was
a decided success. The teachers
who took part in the program
showed they had studied their sub
jects. The thing that pleased us
most was the willingness of every
teacher on the program to come
forward and do the best he could
on the subject assigned him.
We hope that through this as
sociation we may be able to have
better work done lu the schools
than ever b fore.
The best treatment for indigestion
and troubles of the stomach is to
res the stomach. It can be rested
by starvation or by the use of a
good digestant which will digest
the food eaten f thus taking the work

perature, a single teaspoonful of
