Looking Back While Walking Forward The lot of teachers have improsed considerable since these rules were written and strietls enforced in IS"2. 1872 RULES FOR TEACHERS I Teachers each day will fill lamps, clean chimneys. 2. Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the day's session. 3. Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs to the individual taste of the pupils. 4. M en eachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church regularly. ' ' C\ 5.

Any teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a barber shop will give good reason to suspect his worth, intention, integrity and honesty. 9. The teacher who performs his labor faithfully and without fault for live years will I be given an increase of twenty-five cents per week in his pay, providing the Board of Education approves. OLDEST WOODEN SCHOOLHOUSE !l St. Augustine, Florida = * ^?*4-' ^ - From the Desk of the Superintendent... by Dr Barry Harding, Public Schools of Robeson County I have Icli th.it recognizing the accomplishments of the students in our school system a major deterrent to tia\ ing them drop out of school. Often such recognition of student members of a congregation has taken place in the church during a worship serv ice I know that some organizations have, likewise, taken he time to salute students successful in one aspect or another of their academic life. On a monthly basis, our School Board, in conjunction . with the Chambers of Commerce and the Chamber Coalition of Robeson Counts, recognizes representatives of the variou1 classes at each of our high school's at Students of Excellence for their succi ss in the classroom as well as their panic pation in church and civic activi ics. In each of these examples, though, recounit'on is of a relatively small number of students. That's not the case in the new program recently implemented at .Lumberton Senior High Theoretically, there is the potential of it eventually encompassing the entire student body Logically, that's not apt to happen soon since to be recognized requires a student to obtain at least a 325 grade point average. While 383 students were able to reach that standard during the first semester it represented just 29? o of the 1.326 students enrolled at the school leav ing the potential for a great deal of improvement This student recognition came about as the result of the effort initiated by the Luniberton Senior High School Academic Boosters Club to promote ' Vmic excellence among students at the school. It presents a kind of ? parallel to au,i..!' """Mers clubs which recognize athletes for their accomplishments. While athletic boosters clubs are rather common, though, academic boosters clubs are relatively scarce and the local club was fomied not only to emphasize the importance of academic excellence but to give recognition to those students who make a special effort to do well in the classroom. The club's purpose is similar to the Academic Excellence Program at Purnell Swett High where contributions made by merchants and others known as Lifetime Academic Boosters make it possible to honor academic achievers with banquets and"-- Local business and industrial people also help fund the Acadvinic Hall of Tame Program at Red Springs , High which recognizes students who maintain a straight "A" average for the year. At Lumberton, students are recognized with a certificate and the letter "1" which may be affixed to a school jacket such as those worn by athletes. The difference is that the letter presented to those recognized for attaining at least a 3,25 grade point average has the word "Academic" imprinted on the letter . "L". Hopefully, being able to wear such a letter jacket will encourage students ' to make the special effort to improve their grades so that they, too. may wear one. I'm proud of all successful students and their schools for their participation in .such a program. Just as important, though. I congratulate the Lumberton Senior High School Academic Boosters Club for being the latest to join in the effort to recognize academic excellence along with those people in the Purnell Swett and Red Springs areas as well as any others who may be involved with the effort. Such involvement by the community is bound to pay dividends for education. , FREE DIABETIC SUPPLIES! EVEN IF YOU DO NOT INJECT INSULIN!
