The Right Sort Of Development.
Slnca the Herald has very
kin 31y ezpreisad an Interest ia
our school and community, we
are going to endeavor to ri
something of our methods la
teachinR and also how we man'
age to keep the people coming
to Sunday school during the
winter months. To talk about
the Sunday school is to include
practically tho entire communi
ty. There is no church nearer
than Bothlehem. It was almost
impossible to attend Sunday
school three miles away during
the winter. When the present
principal ol our school came to
make her home among ds she at
once asw the need ot a Sunday
school. Finally one was orgid
ized. Soon every Baptist, Method
ist and Presbyteriao was feel
ingasif he had an interest in
the school.
Literature for ail grades was
ordered. The International Sun-
day school lesson was taught all
through the1 winter the school
flourished. : Now, we have mare
than one hundred members en
rolled, a great part of these being
the older me and wonen of the
nefgbborhowlY They are per-
hftpsaote eager than1 our young
neopfe and meita excellent
teachers.
On' in s while some minister
from the neighborhood churches
will preach for us. Rev.' Bate-
men ot Shelby and Rev. Cole of
Kings Mtn, have been with nsat
intervals. The services of such
men as these ar greatly appre
ciated .
Nearly every Sunday we have
a splendid talk on the lesson
by the Superintendent and some
times and object lesson on the
black board.
The people are very much in
terested in good music and are
trying to make ours as good as
we can. We have a good organ,
a good leador and everybody
singa, so mucin is certainly forth
coming.
To-show you how onr day
school and onr Sunday schoot
ae united, the ljsson for the
foUowiag Sunday is studied-every
morning as a part of the
Devotion! aercisev : by the
largi' students ot the sobool.
We ry tcykeepi-the' two-olosely

Tbit. bnngfe . 'o our dav
school. We have .an exceUnct
te est l'i the welfare of the'
school. There sre sixty pupils
enrolled and two teachers in
charge. Since we have been
asked about onr methods ot
teaching and how we manege to '
keep up Interest we shall try to
say a little along these lines.
Perlu.pi to sonro, this is in old
question a our methods may be .'
the ones you see practised every
dat. Still no method is practls- ,'
ed by different peop'e in exactly
the same way. . . ,
The prircipal has tho fouith.V
fifth, sIMb and seventh grades. t,
Since both teachers snd pupils
are' kept btsy interest is necess- '
ary to Success. Seferal of the '
boys sni girls expect to secure :
seventh grsde dtloma this '
sprlug and begin : high school '
work next fall. Just now all'
are vsry much enthused over the '
Con n t y Commencement and
are thinking of entering some of
the contests.
Friday afternoon from 8:45
cntil 4:00 are devoted principally
to spelling patches, songs etc. ''
vaiied according to the interest
bhown. :
The primary grades sre al ways
easy to interest. The main, ob
jtct U to keep them so. Wo
begin tbe days work with n bible
story told as simply as possible.
In the afternoon another story
of a differnt nature is told. ,' per
haps a Fairy story, a myth or
some legend that is dear to child
ish minds. , A song is njvei al
lowed to become old.': New-ones
are taught before- they become
tired of the other. Then when, '
we have an oppoituoity we sing ''
both new snd old with enjoy
