few weeks Mrs. Georgia Smith,
one of the best known and most
highly respected old ladies of Ed
dyville, had quite an experience in
battle in the Degraffenreid home
with large rattlesnake. Some
member of the family first found
garter snake and when Mr.. De-
graffenreid was called in to kill it,
he discovered a large RATHER under
the bed He reached after him
with the garden rake and after
pulling him out, pressed down on
his snakeship while the women of
the household, by turns pounded
his head to a FRAGILE. Ten rattles
and a button were cut from his
tail, and in size was nearly as large
as they grow. Mrs. Smith is very
proud of her battle with the
snake.

only ask months school year.
Three-fourths of the school en-
rollment in the rural schools is OF
children whose ages are from SIX
to thirteen, just the right age to
be taught easily and correctly and
not old enough to be OF much SER
vice in the work OF the home.
They can attend school easily and
comfortably while the weather is
warm but when the weather gets
bad and the roads get muddy
these children can not attend at
all especially during the latter
part of January and February. l
am talking from experience and
observation. | taught in the rural
schools for seventeen years and
had my schools to begin any
where from July LIST to November
LIST The early schools were al
WAYS better attended, and, too, the
teachers annual reports will show
these facts. | will be glad to show
them to any one wishing to have
this proven if they will come into
my office. OF course, we have
sympathy for the big boys
that have to work in the tobacco
patch, but the only way to remedy
this is to send him to school be-
fore he is large enough to go TO
the tobacco patch, besides the
big boy does not constitute a
majority of our school children
and it is the greater number that
we are trying to benefit.
The reasons for having the
schools to begin all on the same
day are many. We have an adopt
ed course and a daily program
then while the seventh grade al
Shady Grove is reciting arithmetic
the seventh grade at Tolu is, also
reciting arithmetic and so on al
over the county. If a family
moves from Dist. No. 10 in Div
No. 2, to Dist. No. 3 in Div. No
4 the children will know where
their lessons will be when they
start to their new districts. When
the superintendent wishes to sup
ervise the reading lessons in q
certain district he knows just
when to go to that school.

recommended by Supt. Coats. our
rural school supervisor for the
state. Our institute will con-
vene on Monday, July Slst, and
continue during the first week in
August allowing the teachers to
go right out of the institute into
their schools with all their new
methods and ideas fresh in their
minds. We will spend whole
day or as much time as is neces-
sary discussing the course OF
study and the daily program that
all may become familiar with the
work. This will prepare the teach
er for work in unison. Uniform
ity gives force and strength to all

the education and development OF
our children the most important
business of our lives?
