Chapel Hill School Opens,
On Monday at the noon hour
Chapel Hill School began its
191G-'17 session in a very im
pressive style. Every person
who had, or was supposed to
have an interest in the school
was invited to attend this begin
ning in.order to gather a true
conception of the work that has
been mapped out for the ensuing
term.
A fact to be deplored is that
only a tew patrons of the school
were present. A stranger would
naturally conclude that the peo
pie of that district thought but
very little of what education
meant for their children. But we
know that they are anxious for
their children to be equipped ad
equately to confront life and its
adversities when the burden is
cast upon their shoulders.
A successful school must have
the aid of the entire community.
and without their cooperation
little can be derived from what
ever efforts the teachers display
in connection with their regular
duties.
Prof. Liverman, in his remarks
to the ;mall gathering, made it
c'ear by black-board illustration
that it was necessary for the
students to attend regularly to
gather all the benefits from a
term of school. He aUo demon
strated in a very concise manner
the need of support of the con
stituents of the school district.
No matter how energetic and
conscientious a teacher might be,
he cannot obtain a hundred per
cent, efficieney if the parents of
the pupils fail to perform their
duties.
Supt. Darden, in his address,
suggested that they organize a
Womans' Betterment Associat
ion, and conspire to make the
school a community center, a
place where every person in the
district might come together for
social purposes, and all work
shoulder to shoulder for the en
hancement of school facilities.
He pointed out to chem numer-
ous ways in wnicn tney could ac
complish much for their children.
Mr. W. F. Ausbon, Township
Attendance Officer, made an ani
mated address to those present,
telling them just what to look for
in the faculty of a school, No
person is perfect, he said, and by
this reference some of those,
present have gathered an erron
eous conception of his real mean
ing. He stated that a part of the
patrons would suppose a teacher
to be spotless and pure white,
while other would think other
wise. For the benefit of those who
failed to understand this remark
we will endeavor to make his
meaning a little clearer. His in
tention, no doubt, was to make
some very flattering remarks in
reference to Prof. Liverman's
past record as princip il of th;s
school and the great thing the
school has accomplished during
his contract with it. When he
stated that no person is entirely
without faults, he used but a
common expression and one fre
quently used in reference to pro
fessional men and women in
every vocation. He did not as
sail the character of either of the
present teachers, and their con
clusions along that line were
drawn entirely too hastily.
Prof. Liverman is a man who
has incurred the admiration of
every person interested in his
work there, and all of them join
in saying that he has done re
markably well in the execution
