The Prosperity high and graded
schools opened Monday with the larg-
est enrolment in the history Of the In
stitutions. Quite a number Of new be-
ginners were present, and also num-
Der of pupils from the surrounding
country. We predict great things Of
the schools for they have the hearty
cooperation Of parents and strong de-
termination of the teachers.
The devotional exercises were con-
Quoted by Rev. Morris. He in sin
eere manner implored the guidance Of
the Great Helper upon the school,
teachers, pupils and community. Or.
Wyche spoke to the school upon the
following words, ''To Thyself be True"
He dwelt upon the fact that a child
couldn't be success in life who was
false to himself Dr. Hunter, chair
man of the board of trustees, pointed
out the advantages offered along in
dustrial education. Special mention
was made of the experimental farm to
be conducted in connection with the
school.
Superintendent Wheeler spoke 70
the school upon the object of schools.
He, in strong manner, presented the
fact that one great object Of school
was to teach obedience to law. Rev.
Mr.. Morris spoke upon a part Of an
old song to every one alike, namely,
Go on, Go on, Go on" The child of
tender years as we'll as more mature
students was given the lesson of per-
severance and persistence.
We predict for Prof. G. D. Brown
and his able faculty, great success. we
ask for the above the cooperation and
support of the parents. town and CON-
munity.
To the parents interested in school
We ask that you investigate our school
before you send your child away to a
more expensive institution. An ex-
animation of the catalogue, which will
gladly be sent by the superintendent,
will make known the fact that the
school is doing fine work and is worthy
of patronage.
FavOrs DR.. Nyche for Speaker.
