TRADING trip In the near future
Being left alone hied myself Il
the home of Captain Huls, where
| succeeded in getting my name il
the dinner pot, and at the dinner
hour this timelv thought no doubt
saved my life; at any rate, I was
considerably refreshed. My cour
age went up with my head, my
shoulders went back and / went
forward to do or die, and did,
My success was phenomenal, my
appetite was as ravenous as my
success phenomenal, and / am
pleased to say that the DEMOCRAT
SENTINEL has more readers it Rock
bridge than all the other papers
published in the county combined.
During my canvass in this pleas.

The Rockbridge schools are
prospering as they never did be-
fore. &. b. Huls, of Rockbridge,
has charge of the grammar school.
Miss Della Gordon, of Logan, has
charge Of the intermediate. Miss
Clara Rulon, of Logan, has charge
of the Primary department. 1t is
due to the very excellent services
of these teachers that the schools
are what they are, pride to Good
hope township.
The question of a principal or a
superintendent of the schools is
being very generally discussed. 1t
is thought by many that the
schools should not only be graded
and that superintendent should
be placed over all. 1t is alleged
that in the lower branches some of
the larger boys become unruly, un-
manageable, that the lady teachers
in many instances have been un-
able to control them. This, it is
claimed, has tendency to de-
moralize the school and create dis
respect in the younger minds. And
they are right. The first thing to
be taught is obedience. And the
teacher should be physically able
to enforce obedience when it be-
comes necessary. Wherein the
teachers physically lack it is we'll
that the scholars are made to un-
derstand that there is a superin.
teudent over them that is physic.
ally able to enforce the rules and
have good order. BY all means
grade your schools.
Place over them a superintend.
ent, a man competent, and one
that will command obedience, and
you will see wonderful change
FOR the better.

teaching a very successful seven
term in district No. >,

ant, agreeble and efficient teacher
and is giving excellent satisfac-
5ion. Taking it all in all she is
very pleasantly situated, as are
The other two Logan teachers at
Rockbridge. They ride the morn
ng train up to Rockbridge and
.ake the evening train back,
3pending their nights at home.
F. +. Comstock is the same
pleasant, genial merchant as of
yore. Notwithstanding the dull
lines is enjoying as good, if not a
better business, than year ago.
