Greeting

 To the Yocona School District:
 As the time for beginning our years work is near at hand, wish to say ln advance tony pupils and patrons that 1 thoroughly appreciate the trust re- posed upon me and shall do all within my power to make the coming term of school pleasant, profitable and ben eicial. I also ask as favor on my part, but a duty on theirs, that this aim be mutual, and that earnest eff forts be made by all parties concern ed to make our school one of the best in St. Francis county
 We all must know that to make d success with q school it requires the aid of three factions-the parents, the pupils and the teacher. Without the cooperation of all, the school is q fail 'ure. We must all work, and work to- Igether in a hearty fraternalism that will beset all difficulties and inspire .all concerned with higher motives and better principles. Rome was not built in day, but by years of never ceasing, unnagging, diligence and en- ergy, neither can we hope to obtain a complete education ill I single term of school, but principles can be form ed which will ennoble ones whole tu- ture career and push them forward to victory in the end.
 To the parents l feel it my duty to insist that they will send the child ren more regularly than last year, as it is impossible to make much progress with such irregular attendance, also that they visit the school occasionally shall take pleasure in discussing any matter relating to the welfare of your child and can do il much better and with much more satisfaction Nef- bally than otherwise. l hope to meet with you all soon after my arrival ii your vicinity Indeed 1 deem il I great pleasure to be with you again
 l feel confident that with our past experience and better acquaintance that our school work will far aufpass that of last year.
 Hoping to soon be 4sitA you l re main, Sincerely,
 MEDA MCIIANEY.
