It's a glorious day, with the magc ofjFall Working its changes too swift fof us all; Now the green turns to gold, in t$e glint of the sun, But not one of us knows how thi marvel is done ; From the high hat of Autumn-gay ribbons are tossed And man merely calls it the work of the frost. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT' S COLUMN Edited fcjr O. S. DILLARD Here's a performance which daisies the eye! Here are illusions no Hindoo dare try! Valley and hill top and forest and field In garments of beauty are strangely revealed; Oh, who can detect it, or who ean explain. Or what can equal such legerdemain Ty The world is the stage, without curtain or wing, Where Autumn performs for the peasant and king; No velvet-topped table he needs forhis f eat As he scatters his silver and gold at our feet; We see the scenes change in the glint of the sun, But none of as knows how such wonders are done. SCHOOL NEWS MARSHALL MEW IN ; SERIOUS Friday. Auarust 28th marked the close ofthe first month of a larir.pftrt of the public schools o theCcounty. From the reports filed in the surjerin- tendent's office the. attendance nas oeen exceptionally good. An average daily attendance of over ninety per cent of the en. roiiment has been maintained. We hope that this high percent age can De maintained until the Dad weather sets m at least. Madison County ranks verv low in the point of attendance. In 1923-24, the last year that figures are available, the county ranked 95th among the coun ties of the state with an average daily attendance of 63.6 per cent. This figure is about 10 per cent below the state aver age. This year we have set as a goal an average daily attend ance of at least 75 per cent of the enrollment.

Williams, chief of the di- and unique bits of school news that has come into this office, is a little newspaper gotten out by the pupils and teacher of the Spillcorn school. Mr. Say ford, the teacher, states that the little paper is for circula tion among the schools of the Laurel section. In it there are articles written by fourth, fifth and sixth grade pupils that are very creditable. Mr. Say ford is. undertaking to reach the people of the community, as was suggested in this column last week, by this means. I feel sure that he will succeed. In the first editorial we find this statement of the purpose of the school. "The business of this school is to help us all to learn to think; ,To stand on our own feet rather than depend on the other; To love knowledge for the enjoyment and usefulness of it; To get more that is really worth while into life and out of it For ouselves and others, and to help God do his work in - the-World in a bigger and better way." This is a high and worthy purpose. A school that carries this, apirit will be success. Let others follow the, .example of Mr. Sayford and give the school an opportunity to mean some thing really worthwhile to the vision of agronomy at State College He states that merchants and others iWe may expect great things to Thir thrift efcata hf o-V arnonfa 1 located at Marshall, Mars Hilt"' and .

Therefore, would b rendering a public service by getting these seed and selling them at cost. to. the", drouth stricken farmers.

But is is sad to think that out of approx imately 6500 school children in the county, less than four hundred "will be enrolled in high school this year. Some thing must be done to give all the children of the County ad equate advantages. This can be done only by a county wide system ef schools as ,was sug gested in these columns a few weeks ago.
