ATTENTION COLORED TEACHERS
To the teachers of the Granville
County Colored Teacher's Associ
ation. . . .
Allow me to call your attention to
these thoughts: Each year demands
better teachers teachers - who take
an interest in the work, and work,
not merely for the compensation, but
with an object of trying to do much
good helping, build the ladder on
which the people of the community
may mount to" its summit round by
round. The honor lies in acting well
our part. Each of us is some one's
guiding star; and many lives are ef
fected by our life. Therefore, let
us give teaching our thoughtful and
prayerful attention, then we will be
of much good to ourselves and others.
The next meeting of the Asnocia
tion will be about the first of Septem
ber. Each teacher Is expected to be
- present. ' - - . -
