EHRHARDT ETCHINGS.
Closing Picnic of Ehrhardt High
SchOOl-Other News Items.

EHRHARDT, May 3O.-After careful con,
sideration and investigation of the sub
ject, the principals of the Ehrhardt High
school have deemed it advisable to chan ge
the regular order of the program hereto
fore, the change being an essential ele-
ment of growth and prosperity, and In
stead of recitations and dialogues from
the students, to occupy the time required
for drilling the children for same, with
their recitations, and to substitute pic
mic at the close of their scholastic year
We, citizens of the prosperous little town
of Ehrhardt, should indeed compliment
ourselves upon the fact that we secured
such able and competent teachers during
the past session to instruct our children
and lead them forth the pleasant clevat-
ing, and abiding paths of intellectual
ability. Our school has indeed proven
success under their management and 1t
does not seem absurd in the least nor un-
reasonable when we state that there is no
doubt but that success will crown her
doors with laurels in the near future If
we only retain deep interest in our be-
loved school. For it is indeed in the
early training of the minds and hearts OF
our children that the very basis and
foundation of their character is formed.
Time and tide move rapidly onward, and
as mans physical existence is limited,
the irrepressible fact that the children of
to-day shall be the men and women of
tomorrow more strongly and emphatical-
ly impresses the solemn obligations upon
US that it is our duty to see that our
children receive the best moral and
intellectual training that we can possibly
attribute to their physical nature. Then
why not manifest strong and abiding
interest in our public schools, high schools
and colleges. AS space and time are
limited we must hasten on, and now to re-
turn to the picnic, which will be held on
the thirtieth day of May in Mr.. c. Ehr-
hardt's grove at Ehrhardt. To aid in the
entertainment of our patrons and many
friends, Prof. c. F. Wertz, who is always
endeavoring to see that others have
good time, has secured the consent of and
promise of Revs. S. P. Chisolm and E. NJ.
McKissick to make addresses on this occa-
sion. To this picnic we extend cordial
invitation to our many friends and request
only that they bring we'll filled baskets
and conduct themselves in manner that
will bring credit to our little town.
