Mr. Holcomb is teaching splendid
school for the Sharon people and
from my observation the pupils are
advancing in their studies.
Sharon has a good school house
desks, blackboards and all that goes
20 make up necessary conveniences
for a progressive school. Sharon PEG
pie believe in educating the
dren and Just such n fine set OF boys
and girls as found there made me
wish that ! was their teacher.
Mr.. Holcomb is an experienced
teacher with possibly some twenty
five years of teaching to his credit
and of course he has become accus-
toned to the regular routine Of
school work and took on a greater
part of the lives of the school child
with parents, teacher, trustees and
children, all standing shoulder to
shoulder for education as they are
doing in the Sharon community, It
is Characteristic of the Texas citizen
ship.
Going south and east of Sharon,
some four miles | found Blun Creek
with 23 pupils running all the way
from the primer to the seventh
grade. This school is graded and is
one of the very best schools In the
county and the nice kind Of at

tention and the appreciativeness
that those children gave me in my
little talk to them made me feel that
/ was a thousand times paid for my
visit there. Useless to say that good
lessons, good department came from
those bright shining, energetic boys
and girls. These pupils are under
Dee Beakcy of Dunn who Is the
youngest school teacher I'm Scurry
County and Or you would 90 into the
BLUM Creek community the patrons
OF that school would toll you that
they had the only school teacher in
scurry county. Dee is the product of
the Dunn High school and Is score
for Prof. O. l.. Howell, principal of
the Dunn High School.
Next came in order was Quinn
school twelve miles east Of Snyder.
near the old home of Grandpa Quinn
where I fouHd Miss Cora 5turoiyant
another one of Scurry county sirls
and a producer Of the snyder High
School. having under her care AMI
control just such fine bunch Of
boys and girls. Not so many in NUM-
Der. but a school in perfect order
department and system. Just such
manly little men and lady like little
women as / did find. While the day
that I was there was a cold blus-
terry day and they all crowded a.
round the stove to keep warm. you
could hear a pin drop most Of the
time in the school I don't believe
that / have found better order In
any school in Scurry county than
this one. This Is Miss Cora's first
school. and though not very long In
the work she has readily developed
into a real school teacher, nice kind
and gentle toward her pupils and so
readily do they respond with good
lessons and sweet disposition. Could
say anything otherwise. No. go
and visit this school and see for
yourself.
Driving east and north. some three
miles. found the Camp Springs
school. This is a graded. two teach |
er school. Mr.. Frank c. Burg teach I
es the fifth TO the eighth grade with |
ss pupils in his room. I listened to
the recitations of grammar and a
few other studies and SOM saw that
I had found another splendid school.
while Mr.. Burg is a young man. ]
am glad to say. as far as have been
able to learn, that he is giving uni
versal satisfaction His pupils respect
him and give IN return for his ef-
forts among them. good lessons and
good behavior. Passing out OF his
room I found Miss Connie None
with Just such another bunch Of lit
lie tots you never did see. Thirty
odd in number and Just AZ ! entered
