SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY, AUGUST 81.

N the county of Mcdowell the
public schools open their doors
Monday. The teachers are all
ct home with their contracts in
their hands that have been made
with the State, county and dis
trict officials. The teachers are
or ought to be deeply concerned
about making this the banner
year OF their teaching profess
sion. This can be done by way
OF full attendance and an in
creased amount of substantial
good accomplished with and Oh
the child. The slogan of each
teacher should be that: MY
school must be the best school in
the state. Compulsory school
law ought to be strictly enforced
and We hope it will be, even il il
has TO be done by an arrest and
conviction OF every parent or
guardian who fails or refuses 20
comply with this great law of the
State. No child of school aye
ought to be permitted t. stay
away from school for friviIous
reasons. The school buildings
are being put in order and the
best sanitary conditions imagi-
naole are being provided.
The school term will open Mon

- that every teacher will begin
his duties with a well regulated
plan TO do more and better work
than ever. Every parent who
loves his child will avail himself
OF the great offers by the State
OF an education for his children
and prove il by taking them of
the streets and putting them in

because each teacher will be
weighed and graded by what you

1t is the public that needs educating

than any official needs to be con

anyone. Otficialdom cannot do every

this foot-and-mouth disease depends
to very large degree upon the public
cooperation. The officers are moving
as fast as they can. 1t will be time
enough for an appropriation to reim-

And you can trust the legislature of

appropriation at the proper time,
