COOPERATION IN SCHOOL WORK
superintendent Smith Has Issued
Strong Letter to Trustees.

To the Trustees Of Oconee County:
AS soon as you open your schools,
send me the names and addresses Of
teachers, their salaries and grade Of
certificate. l must have this infor-
nation as early as possible in order
to apply for aid in extending your
school term. Please do not overlook
this important matter. Trustees are
expected to work in harmony for the
best interest of their schools. This
can be done the better by frequent
meetings and exchange Of views.
| would suggest that your respect
i've boards (all members) meet at
least once each month during the
term, review the work Of the past
month and discuss new ideas for the
uplift of your schools. This, think,
will bring about better feeling
amor gst you, and in that way you
can each know Of what the others
have done during the past month.
l find that trustee, acting inGepend-
emily, without informing the other
members Of the board Of his actions,
has brought about a good deal of dis
satisfaction and unpleaSantness.
would suggest that no important
step. such as employing teacher
making repairs, or anything Of like
nature, be engaged in without the
knowledge and concurrence Of the
full board. | would suggest further
that the trustees, in body, visit the
schools and confer with the teacher
at least once each month. This will
encourage the teacher and be Of in
terest to the pupils, and, | am sure,
will be productive of much good.
This will consume but little Of your
h; IN, tlN ;,,to @c
children, you should freely give.
You would not employ a person to
do an important work, send him to
it and give no further attention ex-
cept once month, when he came for
pay. No! Well, your school is a
very important and far-reaching un-
dertaking that will bear fruit in the
future essential to the welfare Of
your community's social status.
Trustees, let us work to make this
one of the best school years in the
history Of Oconee county. We have
been making steady improvement
and are not behind, but are ahead
in many respects Of many of our sis
ter counties. Let us maintain this
position. Any aid, advice or infor-
nation that you need, Miss McMahan
and | will be at your command and
VIII cooperate with you in any and
all things looking to the betterment
of our school conditions. believe
that you all recognize and appreciate
the work Of Miss McMahan. I am
glad to state that she will be with
us during the present term and will
give her entire time and attention to
the interest Of rural schools.
| further suggest that the trustees
ped with blackboards and maps; see
after the stoves, and have the teach
ers inspect the sanitary conditions
of the buildings and premises, sc
that the spread Of any infectious OF
contagious diseases affecting the
health of the community may thereby
he prevented.

Murray's folks sent him away to
normal school but did not count on
him learning what he did which was
how to play baseball. So good a
student was he when at normal school
and such rapid progress did he make
that he found time to play profess
sionally with the Lock Haven team
while continuing his studies He ad-
Vanced in long strides and finally got
job with the Corning club and then
the Elmira club of the New York
state league while still in Notre Dame
university. John thought he was a
catcher at this time because his red
head made a good target for the
pitchers, and he could squat handily
being short of build.
Murray got an offer from st. Louis
when he was with Elmira, the for
tunes of the club being pilOted by Nc
ClOSkey in those days. The Cardinals
manager soon cured Murray of think
ing he was a catcher and placed him
his hitting ability. John stayed around
St Louis until McGraw sent Bresna-
nahan there to manage that club in
1903 and brought Murray and Bugs

ZIONIST
As baseball player. Mr.. Murray is
distinctly an individual and in no sense
one of the push. He fields differently,
he slides differently, and he hits diff

as the big league first.

Slow thinking while in action is the
real reason that the mlddleWeight belt

he seems to make it hard on purpose,
but he can fold himself up and then
unfold and some up With the ball
with great consistency. He also has
made a careful study of angles and is
able TO tell just where a hit off the
right field wall at the Polo ground
will bound He can hold what should
be two baggers to one right along
and sometimes throws a slow runner
out at first base on what should be
a clean single if he is feeling right.
Murray has one of the best arms of
any outfielder in the big leagues. and
he is credited with saving games and
pennants for the Giants with his
throwing by no less an authority than
John McGraW. He whips the bali
from any position, and it generally
gets where he is aiming it. John has
also developed what is known as the
dip" or tango" slide. He coasts in
to a base on that part of him where
the beam is broadcast but bOunces up
on his feet again Immediately in case
of a chance to advance.
John is one of the quietest fellows
on the New York club if not in the
world. The boys get him to send all
their kilograms for them because he
can do it in so few words. His con-
yersation reminds you of Dummy"
TaylOr's except on rare occasions
which are constantly becoming rarer.
