COUNTY SCHOOLS CLOSE.
The Board of Education Grants HoI-
iday Until Monday, jan
uary 2, 1911.

This is the last day of the Maury
county public schools until the SEQ
ond day of January. The public
schools were closed this afternoon to
allow the teachers and pupils q few
days for the Christmas holidays,
which was welcomed gladly by every
school boy and girl and their corps or
teachers.
The decision to close the schools
today was reached at the session OF
the county board of education last
Saturday, which had been called for
that purpose. Several of the schools
closed with entertainments by the
pupils this afternoon.
The teachers in the county win
all spend their holidays &C
home. The ten day recess win be
a great help to them, as they have
been tied up in the school room for
several months past. Some Of tho
smaller schools in the county will not
reopen, those which have a spring
term being the largest In the county.
The plan discussed at the last meet
ing Of the board of education seems
% have met the general approval %
he school teachers throughout the
county. The proposition was to equal
re the amount OF money in the coun-
y among the various school districts,
which would enable nearly all the
chools to run from six to eight
months in the year. Every scnool
would then be put upon an equal foot

walking up toward the mountain they
espied an old shepherd coming toward
them. They thought they would take

as far as America from the top of this

"Oh, yes!' said the old man. "If you
will come with me l will show you
much farther than America"
SO, chuckling to themselves, they de.

to feel rather tagged and kept asking
the shepherd how much farther they
had to go.
