THE HIGH SCHOOL PLANO.

1t might interest some to know
about the piano which is now in
the High School. Small notices
have been given it in the paper
from time to time, but doubt if
many know just how a piano
came TO be purchased fer the
High School. belore4here was 4
High SchOol-properly speaking.
When Prof. Geo. A Jordan was
principal Of the school. an enter
tainment was held at the close Of
the session. fund thereby being
raised to purchase books, or what
ever else the teachers deemed
proper for the schools best inter
ests. For some unaccountable
reason, Prof. Jordan took this
money away with him. and it was
not till good while after that he
returned it to Mr.. J J. Burk-the
amount being $25-one dollar of
which was used for some little ex-
pense due on the school library.
This amount Prof. Jordan direct
Ell to be given to a committee to
select and purchase books to add
to the school library. There were
a good many books then in the IL
brary, and there was no actual
need along that line at tins time.
Taking this into consideration
and for other and more weightv
reasons better known to myself.
/ felt teat I had the better right
to decide hon this money should
be appropriated. Accordingly, /
consulted several official members
Of the Board as to The most press
ing need Of the High School as
far as the SIS would help.
The clerk of the Board said
that he often had great difficulty
TO secure suitable teachers FIR a
school of this kind where there
was 10 musical Instrument, for
many Of the best teachers prefer
red to teach where music is a fea-
ture Of the school. While many.
perhaps, do not make it an issue. \
no teacher will be so narrow as
not TO admit that music is the life
OF any school. If the teacher is
not musician, there are always

aud enno6hng influences u,at noth-
ing else has Let us look at /,
from another point. Many par
ents ia dizerent parts of the coun-
~ wish their children to study
music, and would hesitate to send
them to the High School, if there
were no musical advantages,
TheH. III coarse OF time, we hope
10 put vocal music into the pub
nc schools as a part OF the course
and piano will thea be needed.
This IS already in the schools of
our cites, and some Countrywide
ces. After discussing the matter
and looking at it from every
standpoint. l thought that piano
would be the greatest benefit to
our High School; hence, I decid-
ed, at the request of some Of the
school officials, to stand by the
pupils OF the school until the pi-
aRo is paid for.
Those whoshave been pupils Of
OF thei High. School, as well as pu-
pills of the lower school at this
place have done well, and have
helped all they Couid The pur-
chase price Of the piano was $500
of which 500 has been paid as
follows: $24 from Prof. Jordan;
$I4 from Miss -Daughtery's en-
tcrtainment last Nav. 81. 40 for
rent to the Fair Ball last October
$40 from Prof. Ransone's enter
tainment in Dec; s. from lawn
party held last Sept. This leaves
a balance Of $I34 still to be paid.
This piano should interest par
ents-and pupils in every. section
Of the county, for surely there are
many pupils in all the primary
schools, who are looking forward
to the time when they will be in
the High School. Now, in order
to give all an opportunity TO help
this piano fund along. and thus
let the children in different parts
of tie county feel that they al
ready have some interest in the
High School, we have decided to
hold m entertainment at four
points as follows: The Battery
White Neck, New Point, Math-
ews {. n. We have secured the
services Of very talented young
lady Of Baltimore, who is a pro-
fcssional IN her line. She will
entertain you highly. and there
will be most delightful program.
Miss Ruth Shackleford of this
place, who is quite talented mu-
stefan will, furnish music. both.vo-
cal and kinstrumental. She has
charge of the music of the High
School, SO you parents might do
we'll to hear her before sending
your daughter elsewhere to study
music. The entertainment will
be all that can be desired; recit-
al by a hrst-CIass elocutionist
suuh as Miss Beverage. is always
not only highly enjoyable, hut
elevating and uplifting, as we'll to
the school child, as to the older
members Of the audience. These
entertainments will be held some
time in April, perhaps about the
Goth, sbut they will be fully adver-
tizedlater on. Please .Gthink CT

High School, andsIet us have a
good audience to help the fund
along. You will enjoy a good

from now, while many things you
will hear may be a source of

tional matters. especially so when
they pertain to Mathews School
affairs, and not having been able
TO find any good reason for the
cutting off by the state of the
Mathews High School appropria-
ton. the editor has addressed the
following open letter to the State
Superintendent of Public Instuc-
tion.
Mathews. Va.
March rs, 90,
Mr.. ]. ID. Eggleston. IT.,
Snpt. Public Instructions,
Richmond, Va,
Dear Sir:
Having been recently inform
ed that the State appropriation
for the Mathews High School has
been cut short and knowing of
no good reason for such action, /
am taking the liberty of writing
to you for information OR the sub
ject. The people desire an ex-
PLANTATION. which as an educator
and high o&cial of the Public
School system. l feel sure you
will be glad to give.
1t has been our impression that
it was the duty of the district
examiner to visit the high schools
In his district and report their
progress. But as the examiner
(Mr. Russell, has not been seen
IN this county during the present
school term. ii could not have
been upon his report that the
appropriation was withdrawn.
So for as we have been able to
ascertain and so far as inquiry
discloses theMatheWs HighSchool
is in In a better condition at pres
ent than it has been for several
years past. 1t has a more pro-
gressive teacher. and largsrnum-
Der of scholars than formerly.
Nothing however could posi-
s bIv destroy more completely all
the effects of the work done and
of the progress made, than this
sudden shortening Of the session.
Thanking yos in advance fOrvour
consideration. ] remain,
Yours very respectfully.
w. M. MINTKR.
The conditions are described in
theaboveletter exactly astheyexist
The appropriation was cat OF an
action which will fierce the school
to close at the end of March, un-
less some method Of overcoming
the diaiculty can he foznd. The
school is in a better condition
than il has sormsrlY been; the
examiner has set been near the
county aad yet the oaly reason
given for the action Is that he re-
ported the school TO be in a bad
condition.
The school boasd shoald make
an effort 20 prevent the school
from being closed, and should
they not succeed all the patrons
who are able should try to sup
port a private school ior at least
two month";. livery day Is Of
value to the older and more ad-
vanced scholars.
