Your correspondent from Iron Mountain
took occasion to announce the startling fact,
that school was in session, at Graniteville,
Saturday. We wish to remark that hereaft-
er, before letting the public know Of such
awful doings, it would be we'll to gently pre-
pare the people beforehand, as it were; for
we suppose no one ever heard OF Saturday
session before. The teacher was not only
allo,ced but requested, to teach Saturday.
We are supposed to have three goodlmen and
true, on the School Board, who are presum-
ed to attend to such business. The ]. NJ.
man also asks, with solemn, Owl-like mein,
"was it gain or not?" The fact that the
Saturday sessions are well patronized, an
swers that question, satisfactorily, and as the
patrons approve, we can't see how the Iron
Mountain man can have any interest in 1t,
except to meddle. Mr.. Waterman, our
teacher, is doing good work and giving ex-
celent satisfaction. He has induced Prof.
Scott, our efficient County Superintendent,
to deliver lecture here next Saturday, on
Educational Topics. This courtesy will be
fully appreciated by our people. The at
tendance of the Graniteville School is very
large, which will be seen by the following re-
port for the month of September:
Males enrolled, 80; females, 45; total, 80;
No. of days attendance, 1910; average daily
attendance, u; average days each pupil, IL.
Mr.. Waterman has opened a night school
which should be we'll patronized.
