Grass and Babies-Saddle Tree

Results Contests.
Jurisprudence of The kobesonian.


Rennert, r. F. D. l, Aug. s.
We have nothing to boast on this
time but grass and babies. Count
ing all colors, 10 babies have been
in this neighborhood, sometimes
2 at one home. If it had been 2
boys or 2 girls we would say
twins; when there is one boy and
one girl we don't know what to
call them. A few days ago Mr..
Cary Jackson's wife gave birth
to 2 babies, one girl and one boy.
Well, papa and mamma can both
smile together.
The wet weather has done con-
siderable damage to crops in this
section and has made lots and
lots of grass, but crops are now
doing very we'll. Mr.. ]. D. Nc
Neill Honey john has the finest
corn we have seen this year.
Next comes the big picnic at
Saddle Tree. We look forward
to that as one of the biggest
things yet. The w. O. W., Farm
ers' Union, Betterment Society
and the Sunday-school all have a
hand in it, and to cap the whole
thing j. B. Carlyle will be there
and that alone is enough to bring
everybody in the county. There
will be other speakers, but J. B.
is sufficient to fetch them out.
AS to pretty girls, we will have
them there by the bushel. Re.
member, it comes on the 18th
day OF August. Everybody come.
We are real sorry about the
results Of the convention al
Wrightsville. We don't know
who is to blame, but some say il
was lawyers. Well, lawyers arr

ever cast was in the year 1876.

She Must Teach rs Years
III THE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEE CHER OF TODAY WOULD PAY
BACK THE COST OF HER EDUCATION

( 1t is putting it high to say that
$50 per month is the average
teachers pay.
The average cost of living
board and room of teacher per
month in a city is estimated al
$40. Allow $40 month for
dress; SIS for car fare, dentist and
doctor bills, etc. This leaves a
surplus of SIS per month on her
$50 salary. The total saving for a
school year at this rate would be
$50.
Surprising the cost of the teach.
ler's education were $4,000, it is
easily seen that it would take her
just 76 years to pay back that
amount, were she to give every
cent of her savings for that num-
Der of years toward the original
spending fund.
The average child starts to
school at the age of 6. If he goes
IA years he will be 20 when ready
to teach. He would then have to
teach through his ninety-sixth
year in order to pay back the debt
of education.
Notice this does not allow for
any expenditure during the sum-
mer months. Every teacher has
to provide herself for the two
months vacation or else work at
something else.
These figures are approximate.
A teacher gives the best years
or her life to the profession. He
or she is expected to be morally
mentally and physically fit for the
office held. A child spends about
two-thirds OF Its waking hours in
the school room or on the scboo,
playground. What teacher says,
Is almost of more Importance In
the young child's mind than what
father or mother say. There's no
question that should be of any
more Importance to the parent
than the status Of the man or
woman who teaches his or her
child.
