obion county SCHOOL,.

~(1A0A ~-OA@@%l
At this time there is much agitation
on the part OF school officials and inter-
ested friends 10 the improvement Of the
schools in the rural districts, and may it
well be. forif we give the sastter proper
attention we will see thatsse are far be-
hind in many respects. The consolida-
ton OF two or more schools and employ
ment Of more teachers is the principal
thought Of it all. This is without doubt
a strike in the right direction, and be-
leve all will agree that this is true who
have given the matter proper thought.
This being true, then, as all will agree,
the next question is, what are we going
to do about it2 How can things be
rsuiedied, and when9
| will say that these changes should
come at once, and the sooner we get
busy to bring them about the better it
will be for all. How can any teacher
be expected to care for from forty to
sixty children ranging from to 81
years old and to hear thirty or more
recitations per day? It is out OF the
question to think OF such thing that
is, to do justice to the pupils. The
teacher Is not to blame either She will
be better teacher when you CONSOLE
date several schools and have three or
more teachers to divide up the work,
thereby having from twenty to forty
minutes for each recitation.
II our present laws are not sufficient
to make these changes without going
to the Legislature, then suggest that
you ask the Legislature in January to
MAKE such laws as Obion County needs,
and let's have it applied at once. Why
delay.
Another question will arise. That is,
how to get the money to build new
schoolhouses to meet these require
ments. That is easy when we get in
the notion to do things. A suggestion
here about these buildings might not be
out OF place. When you build, do SO
with view OF doing it up right. Build
modern un.to-date schoolhouses, hot air
heated, with furnace underneath. 1t
will cost only little more at the be-
ginning but will soon pay back the diff
ference in saving, to say nothing of the
and improvement over the
stove.
The primary school on the west side
Of town here is about the plan that
most OF the rural schools, we think,
will need, and all citizens and interested
folks from anywhere are invited to see
this building at any time. Any mem
Der OF the Board of Education will be
glad to show you this school, and all
the other schools, at any time you will
visit them. This invitation is general,
and we hope you will take advantage Of
it. Obion County is entitled to better
schools, and il we will make first-class
schools ia all the rural districts and one
great High School where all depart
ments are taught by the very best ex-
perienced teachers, we will have then
made step forward second to none in
The State.
II a committee OF one from each civil
district of Obion County will meet to-
gether they could work out all plans to
The satisfaction OF most of the citizens
of this county.
Obion County can and ought to have
.he best schools in the State.
