Commentator From Lowe.
Among those from Pine Bluff who
attended the exercises was A. W.
Lowe. county superintendent of pub
lie education, who highly compliment
ed the children, the faculty and the
patrons of the school, saying, among
other things, that the Watson Chapel
school is one of the best rural insti-
tutions in the country.
The Importance of good school
was realized by the people of the
neighborhood about seven years ago,
and to realize was to act. The one
room building has been replaced by
a modern three-room school building,
three teachers are employed and
more than 100 students are enrolled.
Planning Brick Church
The people of Watson's Chapel are
now planning the erection of brick
church, for which more than $1,000
has been subscribed. 1t is expected
that work on the church will begin
within short time.
Besides their progressiveness in
school and church work, the Watson
Chapel residents also took part in the
movement that resulted in the con-
struction of the pike from Pine Bluff
to Sulphur Springs, indicating the
firm belief in the principle that good
schools, good churches and good
roads go hand in hand, and that to
secure these needs cooperation is
necessary.
