No. 41. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1916 $1 a Year ; 5c. a Copy ABOUT YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL OCTOBER sees the beginning of the rural school term in most parts of the South, and it is a season when we may well stop and give thought to the facilities we are providing our children with which they are to equip themselves for the serious business of life. First of all, kind reader are you, personally, taking an interest in day and every day thereafter. The child that misses the first few weeks inevitably falls behind in its class work, and, what is more seri ous, it is as surely falling behind in its preparation for the great worK of life. Irregular attendance, too; is no less serious. If the crops are not all harvested when school opens, hire the remainder of the work . .J( .v.v. -.-...rto(..w.io...-..vr-v-...... VI . ; -' .

COLLEGE SHORT COURSE your school? Do you visit it, do you know the teachers intimately", are you in touch with their efforts, do you know something of the ideals and hopes and ambitions they are implanting in the hearts and minds of your boys and girls? Your school and its teachers are charged with a task that in importance overshadows all others that uwwug useiui men and women. Are you giving the job the thought that you are giv ing your farm work, or are you leaving this greatest of life's tasks toothers, while the . Pigs, the cows and the props take all your time? . ' . Put this is the teacher's job, you say? Yes, !tis; but it is also yours, and as you do it well or poorly; so shall you largely be judged as a man whose living in it was a blessing or a hindrance to his community. And in this . e ls WOfk enough for all. The school Principal, if he is of the right sort of timber, auouidOI C01irsfJfiH iYia.cAi ? nis community; but unless he is backed DV Vrtn nJ - , auu men nice you, the very best that be can do will not.be much. First of alllet's make an earnest effort to e tnat our children are present on opening 4 5 6 done or do it yourself anything to get the children in school on time and keep them there. - But this is not all. The father who is satisfied with nothing but the best for his children will visit his school, know the teacher, what the school is dbinff. and what are its needs that its efficiency and effective ness may be increased. He makes tne school a community meeting-place on Friday afternoons; he takes a lively inter est hv the spelling matches, the . debating contests, and the games; he works to make commencement a famous event in which the whole neighborhood takes part. Take counsel with yourself, friend, and ask yourself seriously if you are measur ing up. You can't afford merely to be lieve in education and stop at that; you must do your level best to see to it that your children and your neighbor s child dren fret it. "He was a great school man" what finer thing would we, after we are gone, have our neighbors say of us? Such man. oerhaos to fortune and fame unknown, opens the door of knowledge and life to others, and in so doing nas himself truly lived. .
