The House Mountain School
The time draws near for the re

opening of the school work at House
Mountain, and the treasurer reports
that the needed funds for the sup
port of the work are not assured
as they have heretofore been at
this time of the year.
We feel quite confident that the
good friends who have been so lib
eral in the past in their voluntary
for this cause do not
intend the work to shut down.
They need only to be reminded
that it is necessary for the treas
urer to know what she may depend
upon. And we are sure she will
hear promptly from them, and
have the encouragement needed to
lead her to proceed with arrange
ments for the new years work.

worth, wife of Mr.. james E. Bos'
worth Of Brownsburg, died at her
home Saturday afternoon, August

thirty seven years. She had been
i'll about a week, but her death was

surprise to her friends. Her moth
er, Mrs. Kirkpatrick of Lexington t,
was notified Saturday at noon of
her extreme illness. She started
at 2 o'clock accompanied by Mr..

fore her mother reac hed her bed
side.
The remains were brought to

The Richmond Times Dispatch
of Saturday says: Congressman
H. ID. Flood of Appomattox, was
in the city last night, having
come down to attend meeting of
the Board of Directors Of the Vir-
ginia Railroad, Of which he is a
member. Mr.. Flood expressed
himself as greatly encouraged at
the prospects of Parker's election
and stated that in his opinion Mr..
Roosevelt would not be able to
hold the normal Republican
strength of the country. He said
he had heard Republican memb ers
of Congress express their iisap-
prOval of the Presidents course in
various matters and named sena-
tor who WAS not an admirer Of the
President. As to the outlook in
the doubtful States, he said .he
could not speak from positive
knowledge, not having visited any
of them since the nomination, but
that from the information cleaned
in Washington the Democratic
prospects were bright.
Asked as to his campaign for
Congress, Mr.. Flood stated that it
was only question of getting the
vote out and that no effort would
be spared in this direc ton. He
has Just returned from the Staun-
ton Horse Show, where he met

South River. ...... 433.7 23O.OS
There are number Of schools
IN several of the districts that
were run with less than the aver
age required by law. Mr.. Effinger
said before these schools were
closed, al agreement should be
had between the districts as to the
minimum number necessary to
close school, and their action
should be uniform in this matter.
Twenty were named by the law.
This matter gave. rise to con-
siderable discussion, participated
in by Trustees w. ID. Deacon, OF
Buffalo district; j. Samuel Gibson,
of Walkers Greek district, and
VIM. b. Wallace of Central dis
trict. They declared that num-
Der of schools were so isolated that
the fixed number of 20 as legal
school, indirectly SAID they must
close n number of theirs. Trustee
Frank 4. Glasgow offered the fol-
lowing resolution on this subject,
which was unanimously adopted;
Resolved, 1t is the sense OF this
board that ordinarily no school
should be continued unless an
average attendance 0f at least 10
pupils is sustained. And that no
schools when the average is less
than Is should be continued unless
the circumstances be peculiar, and
in the judgment of the district
board warrant the continuance OF
the same and that no school be
continued unless it averages at
least 10 in daily attendance.
The holidays were fixed the
same as last year, to-wit: Thanks
giving, Christmas, General Lees
and Washington's birthday. These
are days for which teachers shall
receive pay. A resolution was
adopted that Thanksgiving and
Christmas days be the only
days, but member of the Lexing-
ton board thought they were too
latd on the teachers, indeed, small
and picayunish to not grant them
the same holidays they Ind last
wear. A motion was made that
they reconsider their previous ac-
ton, and the other two days,
General Lees and Washington'a
birthdays, were added. The con-
census of opinion was that to have
good work, teachers enthused with
their occupation, they must not be
treated as hirelings TO-. the money
that Is in it, but should re-
ceive the kind consideration OF
the school authorities. The mo-
ton, therefore, to give them more
holidays, passed with ut dissent
ing vote.
MIR. Frsnk Il. Glasgow of Lex
ington, was reelected vice-pres'-
dent, and Mr.. j. Scott Moore OF
Lexington, reelected clerk OF the
board.
The schools of the county were
required to be opened the second
Monday in October, which is the
10th of the month.
Section 1447 of the school law
gives district boards the right and
privilege to award district trus-
tees the sum of So each year for
attendance on meetings of this
board and for visiting schools in
their districts. The county board
unanimously endorsed this PROPOSE
ton, and ordered that the money
be paid out of the district fund.
There were present at the meet
ing Trustees r. +. Hutton, F. L.
Glasgow, VIM. B. Wallace, G. w.
Emnger, w. d. Deacon, r. X.
Dunlap, VI. p. Dunlap, Charles
Lindsay. j. S. Gibson, John A..
