School Supervisors Report,


Since our last report we have
visited the following schools;
Width Oak Branchwith Cox in
charge, Coffee's Creek with Ra-
ney Hamilton, Lost Creek with
Baily, Lower Sand Lick with Can
trill, Upper Sand Lick with Brad
ley, Padoker school, with Hol-
brook and Gambill, Smiths Greek
with Baily apd 2 Pede.sr Gapwith
Mr.. Hill.
We found mostof these schools
well housed but in some instances
we could not fail to note the lack
of seats and desks. We were
forcibly impressed with the need
of maps, charts, globes black
boar S tc., many of which, In
our opinion, could, to some ex.
tent, be supplied by the tact and
energy of the teachers, We have
urged in all our rounds the exper.
iment, on the part of teachers,
Of giving little school entertain
ments, box suppers, etc.. tt
sup ly many of the minor needs
of the schools, and in addition t(
the better equipment possible,
this method Of procedure woulC
bring the patrons into closer
touch with teacher and pupil,
and thereby create an interest
on their part, in the school, {
factor so much needed and sadly
ne elected in our rural districts
We hope the teachers will see
their opportunity in so simple ;
method to bring the children''
educational possibilities great!
to the advantage of the rura
teachers.
Wes see the need of a bette
understanding between teache
and patrons. Too often ou
patrons leave too great a loa,
for the teacher to carry. The.
take for granted. that the teach
er can interest the pupils all tina
need be, and that they do no
need to go to the school for an,
reason except to complain o
some UNPLEASANT condition, eithe
real orimaginary, made know
to them by the complaining pu
pupil. If the patrons visit regl
larly and loolSto the of good thel
neighbor's children as well a
their own, and refuse to accer
as true each little criticism. the
may chance to hear of the teach
er from a disappointed patron o
disgr6ntled pupil until they ii
vestigate fairly and honestly
and if they will take upon then
selves part of the school load {
their district that really belong
to them, then our rural schoo
willbegin to forge ahead and

city schools,

and teacher be-: ALTO help an

The Ladies Aid.
BY NANCY L. Philips

BY NANCY L. Philips.
We've got the swellest order,
'Tis neither lodge nor show,
But it's ahead of either
When it comes to gettin' dough.
The men, the selfish wetched things,
Call it 'The beggar crew."
But in the defense of my own sex
l say it isn't true.
This order that speak of,
Is of world wide renown;
Its name is softly whispered,
And reverenced all around.
And every where due homage
To it has e'er been paid.
Can you guess the name Of 1t
1t is 1.-THE Ladies Aid"
When the church needs any money
The men can preach and pray
To the Lord to give it to us,
Willingly and right away.
But mind you they are never known
To work when they have prayed,
For the needed sum Of money,
They look to the ladies aid.
When we needed this new church here,
Every soul quite anxious grew,
To build q grand old structure,
One both beautiful and new.
But to build such noble structure
Would mean "money by the pound"
And to get enough TO build it,
They must seek from all around.
So.a length was held at meeting,
Wherein each one was ask to give
Just as much as he was able,
That the church might grow and live
Henry Cox, the hotel keeper,
Rose and said: Nov, gentlemen,
l am quite hard up at present,
But I'll give you dollars ten."t>
"May the ord have mercy on you,'
Said his wife so sweet and dainty.
"Since you're so close and stipgy,
l will give them dollars twenty"
Brother Hatcher talked it over,
Over mountain, hill, and plain,
He sought to beg the money,
But he found it was in vain.
A few hundred dollars only,
Could he mu iter from the men,
SO he got up in the pulpit,
and preached and prayed again.
"Dear God in Heaven, help us build
A new church here" he said.
II the men wont give the money,
Please inspire the Ladies Aid.
And e'er long the ladies offered.
Service to their mountain home,
And they vowed they'd have n churcl
house,
But whence would the money come
Some suggested sooials,
Others mentioned sales;

we found most of the teachers
supplied with a copy of the
course of study whose instruc'
tion they had followed, and as q
result had their schools pretty
we'll graded. The most changes
we found necessary to make was
the taking Of the spelling book
out of the first and second grades
as the law directs, and leave the
pupil the work of spelling the
words in the readers which is
sufficiently difficult to claim their
attention while in these two
grades. The words in the read
ers have a meaning for the pu-
pill, for he reads them in the les
son, getting some idea Of their
meaning and use and on that ac-
count their spelling appeals to
to him more than a bare collec-
tion Of meaningless words that he
would find in the spelling book.
We advise the teachers to review
the spelling in the reader by CIV
ing a spelling lesson that will in
clude several pages of words be-
hind the reading lesson. Do this
at least once each day, and have
the pupils write these words on
paper to be given to the teacher
at recitation. This written work
will serve as busy seat work,
thus carrying out the principle
of not making the pupil be good,
but making him forget to be bad.
We found in one locality a con-
dition that we hope we succeed
ed in breaking up 1t was that
time-worn device Of bad boys to
change schools each time they
get in disgrace with the teacher.
The boys in this instance had
changed two or three times on
account of getting into trouble.
We advised the teachers to re-
fuse to admit a boy from another
school until they had evidence
that he was not running from
just. punishment. In this in
stance the teacher told US that he
would send them back next
morning @ the School ~.
which they had come in trouble.
Parents can make no greater
mistake than to shield them in
wrong doing. And this we be-
lieve to be true each time a par
ent allows his boy to change
schools on account Of an evil re-
port from him of the teacher.
If your boys get into trouble at
school and want to change, first
go and see the teacher and if he
can't satisfy you that he was
right, then take the matter up
with the Division Board. Don't
send your boy away to get into
trouble somewhere else.
Let us all work for the better
Ement of our schools and the edu.
cation Of our mountain boys and
girls. We hope our readers will
appreciate the change of method
in our report.

POSTMASTERS
Must Not Interfere with Courier
Subscribers in Getting Their
Papers; So Says the
P. 0. Department.

The following letter is self-ex-
planatory. SO many complaints
that our subscribers were not re-
ceiving their papers came to us
that we were compelled to ask
the Post Office Department for
advice and assistance. When a
subscriber can not get his paper
regularly he quits subscribing and
our business suffers. In order
to protect ourself and our sub
scribers we will, in the future,
act in accordance with the ad-
vice in this letter:

Sir:-Receipt is acknowledged
of your letter of the 10th inst.
advising that frequent complaints
are received by you from SUBJ
scribers living at certain post
offices to the effect that they do
not get their paper regularly,
some of whom allege that when
they call for the mail the post
master sends to his residence and
gets the Courier which he has
taken out of the office for him
self and family to read. If you
will kindly submit a written COM
plant stating specifically what
postmasters are guilty, together
with the names of the complain
ants, and submit the papers to
this office, the matter will be
made the subject of an. investi-
cation by an Inspector.

One married lady said,
II think it should come from the
males.n
But then they didn't take the time
To plan formal way,
They just settled down to business,
And labored by the day.
They baked up pies and cookies,
Custard, cream and cake,
And such dainty fruits and dishes,
That would make your appetite ache.
They sold all these and other
Pure and wholesome dainty stuff,
And when they counted out our money,
They found they had enough.
So when you veiw our church house,
For which you long have prayed,
Admire its for its beauty,
But thank 1.-THE Ladies Aid"
And to you, young men AID old ones,
I've just got this much to say
You're depending on the women
To build the church today.
But in the great "here after"
When the judgement seal is made,
You men can't get to Heaven
Through the ladies aid.
Old men, when the church needs
money,
Just reach down in your vest,
And give it full and freely
And let your old woman rest.
Lest when your life ceases and you
stand
At the golden gate awaitin',
She Lord will say to the Ladies" come

o you "Get behind me Satan"
\nd to young men I'll give you warn

For fear you'll make her madder,
