Dear Sir: .
I write yon a very short item
today as some of the readers of
The News-Record and probably
a few of my many pupils in Madi
son might like to know something
relative of my work out here in
Swain County.
I have an excellentschool, bet
ter by far than any 1 nave ever
taught, the census of the district
is 156, enrollment 143, daily ave
rage attendance 122, school is
opened each morning with devo
tional exercises.
. We carry from the first through
the eighth grade, the committee
pay me $75.00 per month and the
assistant teacher $35.00 wo have
an eight months term. ;
The pupils of my " school are
much farther advanced . than
those of Madison County, we
have boys and . girls from nine
different states, some who have
lived in Cincinnati Ohio and had
the advantages of the high
schools at that place, we realize
there are many very bright boys
and girls all through the moun
ts
t -neighboring towns. Every February. The property is ad

live many years to work still

there come another call to work

Mr. Perkins is 74 years old and
worked two full days and by the

this vote it was Mr. Perkins for

limit which would call a man to
the work. It was purely a desire
to help along the. good roads idea
and the faithful work done by
Mr. Perkins not only . deserved
the recognition of the fellow
workers that day but also this
slight mention in the paper "Mr
Perkins not withstanding his age
never lost a minute of the two
days. But it was the habit creat

he was section boss on the rail
