The people of the county have co-operated with the schools. in making the second annual Com mencement a success for no oth er reason than the children might be encouraged to strive for higher things in lit'?; that by bringing all the schools together each school can see and know what the other schools are doing and thus greater things may be accomplished in the way of edu cation. It has been intimated that pos sibly some of the teachers, will not take part in the exercises be cause of business or social cir cumstances existing. For mer. cy sakes, is there a school tea cher in the county so bitter and so uncharitable as to take their personal grievances into a public affair that means so much to the coming generation. Can the children of men help what their fathers do? And shall the chil dren of Washington bounty be taught such doctrine in the school-room? Is it possible that the Board of Educatiou will stand for such spirit? Deny the children a day of pleasure and profit in order to satisfy a selfish whim of some disgruntled teach er or community. We hope there isinot such a spirit in any school. If there is it should be removed at once for the sake of the child ren. Such a spirit is not in keep ing with the high calling of a school teacher. State Triangular Inter-High School Debate.

The Swain & Harrison Sani tary Pressing Club have rented Before another issue of The Bea con all things wi'l be ready for the County Commencement. In fact as the next issue comes out Plymouth will be all dressed up in her Sunday clothes, flags, bunting, musicr and school child ren will have charge of Plymouth. Plymouth is gong to give every body a royal reception. The Commencement is going to be held in Plymouth because the teachers of the county said they wanted it to be in Plymouth. Plymouth folks, however, are not going to have any more to do with the exercises of the com mencement than other sections; but Plymouth is going to make everybody welcome. Now, if for any reason you don't want to come to Plymouth, because you are mad at some one in Plymouth, all we ask you to do is to come to the commencement. It is your commencement and if you will come we will bet that you wiir not be sorry for it. But if you do not come you will be scarry, for it's going to be a good time. Your staying away can only hurt you, yvur community and the interests of the school in your district. It can't hurt Plymouth, and it won't make the commencement a failure, so come on like good folks, and let's all have i good time together.- Our final invitation is now offered. The Mayor and the City Council sty come. The Commer cial Club sayB come. The people say come. L?t whosoever-will, COM E.
