Speeches Made by Supt. Moss
and Rev. Geo. A. Kelly
Program by School.

The celebration at the closing
of the Pleasant Hill school was
an entire success. The day was
balmy and by 10 o'clock a large
crowd had gathered.
The speeches of Hon. Cas- Moss
and Rev. Geo. A. Kelly in the
forenoon were listened TO attcn
lively. Mr.. Moss ably discussed
"Why We Should Educate, and
showed conclusivly that if we ex-
pect 10 maintain our free insti-
buttons and present form of gov
eminent: If we wish to hold our
position among the great nations
of the world; if we wish to MAIN
tain our present recognition by
other powers as highly cul-
tured and christianized nation; if
we wish to command respect at
home and abroad; if we wish to
sustain our present coGe of moral,
religious and social ethics. we
must educate.
Rev. Kelly discussed in very
logical way the necessity for
moral training in our schools.
clearly demonstrating the fact
that no matter what our literary
attainments, we are sadly lacking
if our moral training has been
neglected, and that no education
is complete without proper moral
training. Everybody felt better
for having heard these gentlemen
talk.
After the speaking a basket
dinner was served, which all
seemed to enjoy very much.
There was enough left to have
fed twice the crowd.
After dinner the school enter.
tanned the crowd with speeches,
recitations and songs. All &C
quilted themselves with honor to
the delight of patrons and
teacher.
Pleasant Hill can boast of the
best rural school in the parish
There is move on foot now to
build new house and make it d
graded school; then vote an ad-
ditional 5 mills tax and employ
two teachers. There are now 9S
pupils, an increase of over 50 per
cent. in two years, and still grow
ing. There will be an enrolment
of not less than IS pupils in 1907.
There are some who are always
gong to send but never send.
Prof. Founders is quite proud
of the school and leaves nothing
undone that will contribute to
the success of it. We invite all
good citizens in search of a good
rural school to come with us.
