ICALS FROM BETA.
the Jackson
To the Editor of
County Journal.
Will you please give me a place
in your paper, for a few locals from
Beta? First I want to say through
the columns of the Journal, the
faculty of the Beta Graded School
are verv greatful torthe citizens of
this community' for the hear ty co
operation "they are giving us; and
will say right here this place bids
fair to be one of the leading com
munities in the county from an ed
ucational stand point.
For the month of August we en
rolled one hundred and thirty five;
Our daily average attends ie was
one hundnd and thiity. "For thej
month of September enrollment
was one hundred and twenty-nine;
daily average attendance one hund
red and twenty one.
Can any school in the county
give a better report?
I wish I could write with indelible
ink upon the minds of all our good
citizens the great importance of
training the young minds for the
high ideals in life. I wish it could
be possible that the parents ww
realize what the home influence" is
to education.
Employ what teacher you may;
but the home influence will have
the mightiest effect on education.
Some one has said "The best part
of education is that which money
can not purchase" and to be sure
this is provided by the child's first
teacher. We will notice that the
parents teachings never change,
save for one cause and that is
death. These lessons should be
practical and fundamental, destined
to out last life itself; in that it re
lates not only to the body but the
soul as well.
In the beginning of the present
term of school; our Principal plan
ned a trip for the teachers and
pupils of the Beta Graded School,
to visit Black Rock, Saturday, Oct
the sixteenth was decided upon.
So the children had looked with
eager hearts for the day to come
when they could stand on one of
the loftiest peaks of Jackson county
and gaze with admiration on the
works of Him "who doeth all things
well"
Saturday morning dawned bright
and air and a number of our stuo
er ts and citizens, together with two
of the teachers; started for Black
Rock. We arrived on Black Roc
at nine thirty. Being tired from
our journey up the hills, we decid
ed to rest on the beautiful roc't
aim gaz- int3 tl3 iistaass at the
gra iduer of the sublime peaks of
Western North Carolina.
While standing here on this
, wwuu jvuuk. uie tnougnt came
dashing torn y mineof the Son of
God; how he loved the mountains;
retiring to them so many times for
prayer; and how he roamed up and
down the beloved hills of Judea
and after ail was cruelly put to
death on dark Calvary's rugged
height.
At twelve o'clock the good
women spread upon the rock a
most delicious lunch that give satis-
j faction to our apetite. To this feast
there were fifty-three that gather
ed around and helped themselves
to the contents of the baskets.
The party then seperated and
found their way back to Beta; part
going by Addie, part going by the
Pinnacle and part of them going by
the "Beef Market" All members
of the party reported a good time.
Mr. J. C. Moore, our Principal,
has been sick but we are glad to
report he is much better.
Mr. and Mrs. D, G. Bryson made
a trip to Andrews last week to at
tend the Revival Services conduct
ed by Rev. Thad Deets and Rev.
Caleb Ridley. . . - ;;..

That agricultural development is

is evidenced by the following edi

when the fire was discovered it was
making good headway and was of
little use for the firemen to put
