The opening Of the Macon Graded and

was one of the most favorable in the
history of the school. Hon.

up ideals in citizenship, pointing out
that the school girls and boys Of to-day
are the homebulders and citizens of the
future. He emphasized the value and
necessity of the hearty cooperation OF
parents and teachers. Taken all In all
this was one of the most inspiring ad-
DIR .sses for pupils, teachers and parents
it has ever been our pleasure to hear.
The public spirit and genuine interest

practice by the patrons of the school
would make a school second to none in
this section Of the state.

made by Rev. Mr. Gladney. Rev. Mr.
II. M. King and Mr.. w. E. Stokes,
chairman of the school trustees. Mr..

Of school improvement and in such
happy and glowing terms spoke of the
work done on the grounds and to be
done in the fLtur that every one
must feel some interest in the work OF
of improving and beautyfying the place
where children are trained for life al d
