Barton County democrat., 1900-06-01

The city school board, at an ad,
journed meeting Monday night re.
elected Miss Alice Reynolds as teacher
of tho high school. There had been
some objection raised to the re>elec,
ton of Miss Reynolds. the grounds
being that she had not sufficient con-
troll over the boys in the high school
department. It would seem, to the
average citizen, that q boy who has
reached the age of sixteen or over,
and who possesses the proper ambi-
tion to perfect himself In his studies
and reach the graduating point, should
have sufficient manly instinct
to deport himself in q gentlemanly
manner and need no iron hand of
CONTROL. If boy has to be- beaten
into submission, and is impervious to
kind treatment at the hands of his
teacher, he will get little benefit from
any schooling, and had best be ban
ished from the company of others
who do desire an education.
The wife of q man named Moon pre-.
sented him with fine boy. This was
q new moon. The father celebrated
the event by drinking himself full.
This was full moon. When he awoke
from his drunken stupor all he had left
in his pocket was twenty five cents.
This was the last quarter. His mother
in-law beat him oyer the head with
club, thus giving him a total eclipse.
