their teachers and will be repeat

The increase in interest among
the boys and girls of the eve
venth district, since the former
rally, was so marked as to be
easily observable and higely ap-
preciated by the Superintendent.
The teachers feel assured that
the increase in interest in work
does not applyto spelling alone,
but there seems to be new and
more vigorous spirit in evidence
all along the line. The desire to
bring home the coveted trophy
of victory from the central rally
is growing every day, and dire
results may come to others when
the 18th is met. Certainly they
are not going to yield without
terrific struggle. The teachers
at Summertown Mr.. l.. S. Duke
and Miss Cooper are very enthuSl-
aStic in their efforts to advance
the school interest as RE also the
other teachers of the district.
VIM. d. Hazelwood, who is one
of the old veterans in the direc-
torship of the county visits his
schools regularly and sees that
they are progressing. The pub
lie interest shown in the eleventh
was not SO great as it should have
been, but still there is the germ
of interest at least, so we can be
hopeful of the future. The
schools of Henryville and Sum
mertown met and had spelling
contest Wednesday night at the
Adah school. There was a house
full of visitors. The contest was
close and interesting. /

This district is having better
schools this year than ever be-
fore. The directors have built
a nice comfortable house at Barn
vile and have made some nice
improvements at Quercus. They
have certainly done splendid
work for their district.
The former engagement for
rally early in October was cam
celled. The neighborhood had
made extensive preparations and
would have had big crowd.
This time the busy work season
was on hence the number of Wis
itors was limited. All of the
schools were represented and all
the teachers were there. Work
was given along various educat-
ional lines. The spelling con-
test was held and a number of
readings and recitotions given.
Prof. Hall read a touching story
of the Civil war. Quite num-
Der of his pupils gave recitations.
The Supt. recited a couple of
selections also. Prof. Starr was
called upon for an address and
made short but strong plea for
coarect ideals omong the young
people. He read from the speech
of Mr.. f. G. Wisdom in the Dem
ocrat and spoke in strong terms
of commentator of it.1 The dele
gates selected were as follows:
Misses Florence King, Gertrude
Hall. Messrs Otis Sadler, Con-
rad Sullivan, Calvin Hicks, Earl
Duffield, Earnest Wooten, Ken
meth Vandergriff, Albert Wooten
They showed marked improve
ment in spelling and in other
work given. They are all quite
young, but with characteristic
Lawrence County pluck are COM
ing with determination to win
the banner. And we must not
forget that it takes pluck to win,
any where. The 18th will be
well represented we are sure.
School director Jones was present
part of the day.

1t certainly takes brave and
patriotic people to overcome great
difficulties. The twelfth district
certainly has the difficulties and
| am constrained to believe that
, she has the citizenship to meet
and overcome them. Whether
she has such now we may feel
certain that the future will devel-
OPP them. She has been hamper
ed by having only two to three
montes school for many years,
and her school houses have been
poor almost worthless, and yet
