TO SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
Bath County Enterprise.

As the time is approaching where
school boards will again assign teachers
to the various schools OF our country,
and enter into contract with them fol
mother five months, there in one
clause usually in the contract with
teachers to which I wo'- like to call
The attention Of our sci-ool boards. 1t
is this: ut is further agreed that the
6re shall be made, or caused to be
made, and the floor shall regularly be
swept or car to be swept by the
said =" teac or. AS to this clause ths
|'mejoIity of teachers impose this task
upon their pupils, especially tn esweep-
ing, and this is one thing I think, to
which the school officers as well as the
parents shorld object,
There is nothing more harmful and
detrime ital the to health, and especially
is this true Of young girls OF delicate
health. than 10 sweep fnnr and ono

with dust which sets them to coughing
and of which they cannot get rid until
they agaiu are eequired 10 repeat the
same task,
AS teacher of long experience 1
have long ago adopted the plan of
T. hiring some one, an elderly person if
1 can secure their services, who reside
near the school building to build fires
each morning half an hour before
school is opened, that the school build
ing may be warm and comfortable for
| all the children, and that my work
might be taken up and carried CT
without :.being interrupted by the
children crowding about the stove. ]
also have this person to sweep the
school room each evening that we may
not be bothered by any dust in the
mornings,

hiring one of the school boys-usually

There are many faults lid at our dool
os teacher, by the parents, but or

ould require my daughter to SWEEP

/ should protest, and even carry my

The Summer School of Methods

began its session here Monday night,
with interesting public exercises in the
opera house.
Addresses of welcome were made by
the superintendent of the Stanton
schools, Prof. j. III. Bader, and Mayor
w. Fl. Landes. Mr.. Bader introduced
Prof. E. G. Glass, of Lynchburg, who,
In turn, introduced as members of the
faculty twenty eight instructors
who will teach methods during the
four weeks course of the school.
Between three and four hundred pub
lie school teachers from all over the
State are registered: OF these, an over
whelming majority are women-a
much larger proportion than the wo
men teachers throughout the State
bear to the men teachers, the women
thereby appearing more progressive
and prone to learn new ways.
In addition to the school work, which
will be conducted in the public school
building, handsome programme of
entertaining lectures has been ar
ranged to take place on different even
ings, two each week in the opera
house. These entertainments are lit

Mrs. j. A. Hutcheson, of this city, who
was with the U. S. army in Philippines
and returned to this country and was
mustered out in San Francisco on Nav

time. AS he had written home regu-
larly his family are very uneasy about
him, fearing that he has met the fat
OF other soldiers who were mustered
out, as several have been murdered for
their money. Young Hutcheson had

Hot Springs Hotel Burned.

A telegram was received in this city
Wednesday morning announcing the
total destruction by fire of the large
hotel at Hot Springs known as the
Homestead. The fire occurred dur
ing the night Tuesday and burned
with great rapidity. Practically
nothing was saved, all the furniture
was lost, together with the clothing
and baggage of the guests. The Home
stead was one of the finest hotels in
the south, and with its nine hundred
rooms was certainly one of the largest.
The building and furnishing were
heavily insured, but the money loss
will nevertheless be heavy. There is
little doubt but that the hotel will be
rebuilt as the parties controlling it are
veal thy company.
