Last Friday was set apart by the
trustee aud teachers Of the Casky
school as q general clean Up day.
All the patrons in the district had
been notified and asked to come and
give ore days work to the schooW
The County Superintendent had also
agreed to come and assist in the
work. In spite Of the unfavorabIe
appearance Of the weather the Su-
intendent. trustee. teachers. pupils
and about thirty patrons came early
In the morning and remained until
late In the afternoon cleaning up and
making such repairs as we're needed,
around the school house. SuperiH-
tendent, L. E. Foster. took charge
Of the painting while Dr.. Sandbsch
directed most Of his attention to the
UNDERMINING Of the house. and the
bu lding Of stalls for the patrons
horses. A large room about 2Ox33
was painted during the day, also a
cloak room was painted and the
bla:kooards were reslated. One
carpenter put in the entire day re-
pairing locks, desks and windows.
A large number Of ladies were pres.
emit and they cleaned windows,
painted 1.-THE walls). cleaned floors
and at the noon hour spread for the
entire crowd q bountiful dinner.
The Principal. Mr.. Lowe G. johnson,
had charge of the setting up of the
new desks and repairing of old ones,
while his assistant. Miss Halle
Clark, was busy directing the clean
ing up inside and welding the paint
brush herself. DR.. Sandbach with
his outdoor crew underpinned the
house with rough lumber, and aside
from cleaning up Of the grounds,
built seven stalls to be used by the
patrons. This matter of building
stalls is quite desirable feature in
with the rural schools as
It furnishes comfortable quarters
Tor the horses during the day, con-
iequently. the pupils can come to
school regardless of the weather.
The paint that was used cost about
$500 end one bale of shingles was
ised 10 repair the roof, thirty feet
# chalk rair was put up ard
ince the patrons furnished their
'wn lumter for stalls and the UNDER
INNING the entire expense of the
ay was not more than $40 % and it
) a fair estimate to say that $4,000
7orth of work was done during the
ay.
This merely gees TO show what can
e done in one day if all the patrons
I'LL cooperate, and at how little an
Expense the sch Dol house and
rounds may be entirely renovated.
asky school is one of the very best
the county and they have two
'achers, as above stated, who are
lergetic and who teach not merely
'r the salary they receive but for
terest and the general welfare of
lie school and Of the community.
ne trustee, DR.. Sandbach, is a live
Ire and he takes genuine pleasure
the matter of building up and es-
blishing a great school at Casky.
ne patrons responded readily to the
lis for help and the pupils mani
sted their willing dispositions to
sist in any work they could do.
short. everybody connected with
e Casky school has the proper
irit and with these forces COM
ned we can only predict a great
ture for the Casky school. It is
be hoped that many of the other
'tricts will see the work that has
en- done at Casky at this one clean
day andthat many. if not. all of the
,ools. will fall in line and revolu-
nize their school and school inter-
in the district.
