Center School Notes.

Our school is progressing nicely.
Last Friday finished eight months,
only one month more and the pupils
agree with me that we shall make ii
count. We had parents day few
days back. served refreshments at
three and then had a general round
table talk from all present. Now, the
first part of the day we had regular
lessons. not review or special prepared
lessons, mind you. Ifanyone doesn't
believe that this will create interest
and general good feeling among par
ents. just try ii once.
How many are giving common school
diplomas to your Eighth grade pupils!
| now have four girls in the 9th grade
and think win give each one a di-
ploma that can successfully pass the
examination. Would like to know
what other teachers in country districts
think of it. | am using course of
study successfully in my school, the
pupils like it. Although did not tell
them of it until had the school grad
ed, it took some time to get round
ed course. Some parents would not
buy examiners. so we give entertain
ments and bought some myself UNI
I'll the children were we'll started and
the parents could see the progress,
then they paid me for the books. Be-
sides this we have furnished the school
with large bell. dictionary, some
repairs on seats. one dozen portraits
of poets and authors. and a map of
Arkansas and several small pictures
mottos and things too numerous to
mention.
Those who have recently visited the
school are: Mrs. White. Mrs. Casper.
Miss Nina Smith and Messrs. Lee

dence and central school, with state
aid, that is. combine districts and
