visited A. J. Brannon school mn,
Myers Hill this morning. Mr. Bran
non and his assistant Miss Bette Pet
tey are doing all they can and have
the reputation of being fine instruct
ors. have not gotten this informa-
ton from outside sources, but from
the pupils themselves What PARENTS
l have talked to admit Mr.. Brannon
/ to be among the hest instructors Ny
ers' Hill has ever had and the only de-
| linquents are those who are old enough
and large enough to know It is to.
| their interest TO. study hard and try to.
qualify themselves for the duties and
obligations of life l can sympathize
and do sympathize with teacher
who has lot of students void of am-
bition and their own welfare. Girls
in their teens should take more pride
in the cultivation of their intellect
than in any other thing they possess.
like proud, ambitious girls, and be-
lieve their price is far above rubies,
but girls void of pride and ambition
are disgrace to the school room, and
bring reproach upon the school and
start the tongues of outsiders to wag-
ging am not writing this letter for
any particular school or for any par
ticular set of students, and it is not
intende1 to apply TO any student not
guilty Of the charge. Have you any
self respect If so, this letter is not
applicable to you, I hope our girls
and boys have a high conception of
themselves aud will exert themselves
in the school1oom without any coer-
sion on the part of the teachers to
compel obedience. If was young
lady it never should be said of me T
was delinquent in my studies.
I've been invited to visit the Brown
Hollow school in Marion county and
other schools and when do hope to.
find the students az busy as bees. sSu-
perintendent White tells me Grundy
county never had better schools than
she is having this year, aud from what
l see aud know thew are just fine. Mr.
6rannon has 81 enrolled with months

know tell me the children are lesrn-
