WESTINGHOUSE BIRTHDAY.
FittingIy Observed at Long Lame
Children Well Trained-Much
Interest Manifested.

Washngton's birthday was c'l2-
brated on Thursday at the Long Lane
school at 2.30 in the presence OF
house full of patrons and friends. The
program was very Interesting and was
creGitably rendered with much express
sion, and as a man without expression
IS but half 4 man or less, and if onr
teachers are to prepare or boys and
kirk; FOX nc: 2; rit;@2n"';D. they mast
dcvc!Hr ;hr ~VNl cEsion of these boys
and Girls. This work is indeed a great
csc. rno:a price. and those entrusted
; to them more precious and valuable
than Brazilian diamonds or Australian
fields Of gold. It was veC: encourag-
ing to see so many of the patrons pres
ent, for the overcoming of public in
difference is one step il the advance
ment of public education.
The school is taught by Hiss Ethel
Wingate, and this is her second yoar
! in this community. She is enthusiastic
in her work and when the trustees Sc
cure such a teacher they should make
every effort to retain her.
In 1910 the trustees and patrons de-
cided to replace the old inconvenient
and too small school building with a
new one and secured plans from Prof.
Tate, and proceeded in the erection
OF a comfortable, modern and con-
venient school house. BY individual
and from private subscription Of the
trustees and patrons, 5000 of the cost
of the building was raised without
! taking any funds from the district and
with the $500 from the State and coun-
ty the building was paid for. What has
been done in this district can be done
! in every district in the county that is
! in need of more modern, comfortable
and convenient building, and If the
trustees and patrons of other districts
that are in need of better buildings,
would visit this school and have talk
with the trustees, Messrs. G. M. Folk,
NJ. A. Renwick and T. H. Brock, there
is little doubt that they would go home
with a determination to do likewise.
/ It is unfortunately true that some
school houses in this county are not
only not modern apd up-to-date, but
are really uncomfortable and wherever
this condition can be remedied, it is
the duty of the trustees and patrons to
get to work and remedy such condi-
tions
