We congratulate the Board Of Trustees
upon their selection Of Principals and As
sistants in both departments Of the Schools.
Prof. J. P. Mau1y, Principal Of the male
department, is q graduate Of Macon College,
Va, and comes to us highly recommended
as pure gentleman, a thorough educator,
and one well fitted for the high position he
has asumen: that Of training the youths Of
our community for the responsible duties Of
citizens.
Miss X A. Paxton, the Principal Of the
female department, is graduate of Miss
Baldwin's Female Seminary, Staunton, Va,
and also comes to us with perfect credentials
The Assistant in the male department,
Mrs. Linder, is too well known in our COM
munity to require any Recommendation at
our hand. The fact that the Board of Trus-
tees reelected her for the second term is Q
sufficient guaranty that she is fully compe-
tent to NH tho position, ana has gtvvn- fsaif
satisfaction to the patrons Of the school.
Her pure christian character and high cul-
ture, which is well known to us all, win be
sufficient recommendation to the patrons Of
the school hereafter.
Miss Minnie Gist, the Assistant in the
primary department of the Female school is
graduate Of the Columbia Female College,
| which of itself is sufficient recommended
ton as to her qualifications, and those who
are personally acquainted with her are well
assured that she is thoroughly competent to
fill the position to which she has been cleo
ted. With her christian character, genial and
amiable disposition, she will exert an infu-
enoe on tho children placed under her care
that will be felt for good in the community
in years to come.
We would not throw one stone in the way
Of any other schools, by saying that the
Public School is for the benefit Of every
child in the community, but it is fact, tha
view is TO build sSa9p1 s aS TrSs!sss asTf
Union; to make them permanent Institu'
ton, and give them high literary standard
To accomplish this, the Trustees must en-
L -
teachers, and that cannot be done withou
the aid Of the public fund, supplemented b,
liberal private subscription. To sccur
the full benefit of the public Fund for Athi
district it is highly important to increase tn
attendance Of the scholars, and to accomplish
this parents and those having children ir
their charge should cooperate with the Trus
tees by patronizng the public schools rs fa
as possible
We sincerely here :ha: al interested in tn
welfare Of the town and the education of tn
children will give to the public school Trus
tees all the aid in their power to make ou
public schools n booming success. A move
ment is now or foot tA aiihar hsA'a Or Du..
ter is now in the hands of q committee com
posed of members Of the Board of Trustee
and the Board of Trade.
Now that the oil mill is an assured fact
which will certainly bring to our town j,
the near future many operatives, let us offe
to them good educational advar,tages, q
cheap as possible, By placing before them i
good Public School, with the best TALENT il
the land at its head, and by pulling togethc
in the interest of the public.
