Not Heretofore Reviewed.

A representative Of the NEWS drop
ped in at the High School one day
recently, and hearing the familiar
voice Of very popular teacher as
he explained question in mathe-
matics TO his class he went in 70
take few notes 1t was Mr.. Mel
roy Copleys department so uncere-
moniously visited, and the NEWS mar
enjoyed his brief stay very much
A class was reciting, class in
arithmetic, and the little fellows,
several girls among them, had
reached that part IN old Ray"
which has lot of miscellaneous ex-
amples in addition, subtraction, null
tipllcation and division Don't you
remember how hard it was for you
TO tell which OF these four princi-
pies you ought to use. and when?
Well, those boys and girls, some
of them had just this same diff
Guilty, but II seemed to us that af-
ter the careful, painstaking induc-
tive talk and explanation of the
teacher chat the least bright Of the
class would have no difficulty in un-
derstanding the why's and where
fores OF the-to them-abstruse pro-
positions. Then came class a lit
tie further along in "figge-s" and
the way one bright little miss with
blue eyes and fair tresees told how
to multiply flve-sevenths by seven
teen min eenths and add the product
a lot n other hieroglyphics WIS
enough to make your head swim.
These two recitations were enough
10 show the listener that these child
rem are in good hands. And SO they
are. Melroy Copley is first class
man in all respects He has abund-
ant experience in teaching, is a man
of undoubted moral integrity, and
Christian whose character is above
suspicion and beyond reproach. The
children intiusted to his care are
in good hands.
The room Of Miss Butler and Miss
Delong was also visited Now here's a
bee hive for you. Busy? Well, yes.
Not dull minute from the ringing
of the matin bell to the last tap of
the afternoon dismissal, and it is
sure that all this hdsy, active work
of teachers >and scholars results in
Improvement in the minds Of these
very youthful stud snts. Miss But
Ter is so well and so favorably known
by school patrons here that she
does not need further eommendation
from the NEWS.
Miss DelOng is new and, It
seems 10 us, a valuable addition TO
the faculty Of the Louisa High School
Bright, alert, pleasant of voice and
manner, she seems admirably equip
ped for the ardGous. nerve-racking
business Of starting the young idea
alons the thrget grounds and max
ing It shoot straight and true.
Miss Delong is from Martin, county,
of excellent family and much exper-
fence as a teacher, and has in her
br'iet connection with our school Civ
en- entire satisfaction,
The NEWS has row given To the
public a correct and thoroughly can
did and impartial presentation of
the teaching corps of our school
