Chorus
The musical, the pretty chorus
and the recitation and vocal solo
by Miss Mollie Mauzy, reveals the
fact that at home, within ourselves,
we have talent susceptible of de-
velopment, as well as the means
by which such development may
he brought about, it not being
,ecessary to pack mp the children
and send them out of the county.
for their hook learning"
1t reveals too that Our leading,
influential citizens are not aroused
to the wonderful possibilities Of this
institution. which from its ioca-
ton should be the center of learn
ing, the cap stone Of the school
system of the entire county, and
that all that is lacking to make of
it the great blessing it should be
to the town and county, is their
hearty approval and cooperation.
We know our children 60 to
school somewhere about town, six
or eight months of the year, bat as
to having, or showing at least, any
personal interest in where they go
or what they do but little concern
is manifested. Some do not know
that we have one of the best coun-
try school buildings in the state,
that it wouldS not have been
here but for the importantly
of what might be term
ed the "small fry" of the town, in
direct opposition to those who
should have shown deep interest
in the important matter. Some
have probably forgotten that the
building was painted by popular
subscription and in that list of
names the poorest citizens, with
perhaps one exception, are the
largest contributors, while some
names that by all manner of means
should be there, do not appear at
all.
1t reveals, too, that we need a
larger room in the building for
such gatherings as this one and be-
fore the school can grow much
more the building will have to
be finished.
1t reyeals, too, that the yard
needs fencing and trees planted
therein. And what an excellent
opportunity it would be to expend
a little public spirit in that direc-
ton. 1t could be made an ideal
place.
1t reveals, too, that Monterey is
a selfish, little, old town or it would
have more gatherings of this kind.
for they always prove pleasant and
agreeable. 1t is fact. though,
that social intercourse of Monterey
people is so infrequent that when
thev do come together they have to
spend much valuable time in get
ting acquainted.
1t reveals, too, that we laye tai
ent here ;hat would be appreciated
by the public if it had chance to
do so.
1t is matter Of regret that
exercises for the whole
school. which has been so satisfac-
torily taught. could not have been
