Meeting of the school Board.

The school board met in called
session, August 10th, ard transact-
ed important business as follows:
l. The chair appointed board Of
visitors for the ensuing year consist
ing OF Revs. A. p. Melton. H. B. Mil
ner and Fl. q. Dale to visit the
school monthly and make their re-
port to the school board.
2. The board adopted the follow.
ing rates of tuition for those outside
the district: Primary $3.50 per mo-;
I'd and 3D. grades. So; 4th grade,
$3.50; 9th grade, 50.
3. 1t was ordered by the board
that the school should be opened
each morning by devotional exercis-
es and that each teacher should
place bible on his desk.
4, The board adopted the follow
L ing list of text bonks.;;is,.s.ss;isato :
New Language Course, Monteitli' s
Na~ THO Book Course il. Geogra-
ply, Rays New Revised Two Book
Course in Arithmetic, the Eclec
tic u. :. Histories, Model Copy Book,
Steele's Course in Sciences, RAJ Z
Elementary Algebra, Robinson's
University Algebra and Geometry,
Hardness Latin Course and $500
General History.
This course is very great abrldg-
ment OF the old one used heretofore,
having only two books where the
old one had three to four to cover
the same ground. It's economy OF
time, labor and money can readily
be seen, besides securing uniformity
in the course.
In view of the absence of the as
sistant, the board decided to turn
the work of that position over to the
principal Of the school for the pres
ent, and for that reason increased
his salary to 500 per month so long
as he should do the work, or until
an assistant was employed.

The Cove Picnic.

We were among the good people OF
Cove, and participating Sunday schools,
at their picnic last Saturday at the
old Cove school house. 1t was an ideal
picnic, replete with good order, social
intercourse, plenty of watermelons,
and fried chicken. There were five
schools participating, and the program
of course had to stretch around all, but
it did so easily that you heard no MUIR
muring note, except at the close when
Prof. NJ. III. Baird of Mt. Pleasant
school yielded to a suggestion to abbre-
viate addresses in favor Ofrefreshments.
He made up in deglutition what the
audience lost in oratory. The five
schools represented were Cove, Mt
Zion, Bells Chapel, Mt. Pleasant and
Potts Station Union. The welcome adj
dress by Rev. Mr.. HARRISON we heard
highly spoken of. 1t closed just, as
we reached the ground. But the res
ponse by our own fellow-townsman
MIR. Lawrence Russell, was all it could
be wished to be, as was also that OF
Rev. Mr.. Irven, of Mt. Zion, being
right in thought, happy in deliyerance,
and not too long. The songs that inter-
spersed the exercises, while they were
good, still suffered calamity enough to
show they were picnicers and executed
under the strain of picnic excitement.
That of Bells Chapel could not be beat
and carried the palm. The Potts sta
ton string band did their part well.
The occasion, as whole, was worth
the trouble and expense it cost, and
this is saying great deal when the
hot weather is taken into the account.
1t was just such an occasion as to prop
erly illustrate the great interest now
felt throughout the country in the
great Sabbath school cause. No better
people assemble anywhere than were
together at the Cove, nor in a better
cause. In the evening large part OF
the crowd went to Potts station to wit
ness game of baseball between the
second mines Of that place and Russell
Vile. The game was slow and languid
and scarcely presented the aspects of a
contest, except at certain periods. Ii
was easily won by the Potts station
nine. The game looked like it was a
very high price for little piece of Au-
gust fun.

The Public school.

We were present at the opening oil
school Monday morning. 1t was sur
prise to us. We Expected the hot
weather to tell upon the beginning OF
the school especially, but it was one OF
the best ever seen in the history Of the
public school in point of numbers, and
the initial services. The assignment of
rooms was first business, and they
were parceled out to the young ladies
by Prof. Jones. To Miss Lizzie Ger
hardt, the primary, Miss Waite Bent,
second, Miss Lide Keith, third, Miss
Ella Bonds, fourth, Cup stairs), Prof.
Jones, fifth. and COMMUNICATIVE chief.
The Young ladies, bright as new dol
lars, went to their new quarters full OF
their usual grit and enthusiasm. The
estimated number of scholars present
was 900, a larger number than was ey-
er present the first morning before.
The work laid out for the assistant was,
or will be, distributed among the teach
ers, so as to dispense with the assist
ants position altogether for the pres
emit, which will be quite saving, II
the work can be done by the present
force. Well, the school opens under
the best auspices. What is our duty
Plainly to go to the backs of Prof.
Jones and his corps of teachers and
stand there. They can't achieve sue
cess unless we help them. We must do
it. You have trustworthy, capable
teachers, a tried principal, and earnest
christian men and christian women in
your school. They are skilled in the
work, and know what Is to be done.
What they want of you is your moral
support. If they can have this openly
and fairly given, they will take care of
the balance. We should be anxious,
not so much to give advice, as to keep
down these little back alley DIVERSIONS,
and the spirit that would criticise on
every opportunity. You hire boss
carpenter, you contract with him and
turn your job over to him, and hold
him responsible for firsu-class work.
This is about the way it ought to be
done in this case. Our interest should
be displayed in good warm-hearted,
healthy support and sympathy, and not
too much in advice. We all know OF
course how to run school, and the
minutia of school government, but per-
haps it would be as we'll for us to treas
ure up the knowledge until we have
one of our own and give our teachers a
fair chance in this one. Not loaded
down with our great wisdom, but help
ed by our sympathy and common pa
triotism.
