A very f1ourishing branch of the
Farmers Union holds semi-monthlv
meetings in the auditorium of this
school building. This union has done
good work since it's organization
nearly two years ago, but expects to
be of much greater benefit to the
farmers in the future.
For two years a girls tomato club
has flourished in this school, the
members of which have taken prizes
at our county and state fairs. This
work is under the supervision of Miss
Aisle Smith, the very efficient county
organizer, who, also, during the past
school term organized a class in do
mestic science which will be contin-
ued.
More than a year ago Mr.. Brown
ing donated three additional acres of
land adjoining the school grounds, for
farm demonstration work From va
rlous causes this was a failure the
past year, but the trustees and Mr..
Carnell, the farm demonstration
agent, have promised better attention
during the present school term, ana
the community is looking forward to
much light along agricultural lines
from this source.
TO sum it all up, the Sedalia com
munity is proud of their school and
all are trying to live so as to prove
themselves worthy of such school ia
cilities for their children.

In July of this year another cleo

In addition to this the good people
of the upper part of Goshen Hill

themselves to this school district,
thus doing away with another little
one-teacher school, so that the Sedal-
Ia school now represents the consoli-
datlon of four little one-teacher
schools.
| might mention that, while there is
no law to that effect, the patrons de-
mand, and the trustees have enforced
the rule, that no one but a graduate
of an accredited college can teach in
this school. The faculty this session
consists of male principal, Prof.
Blakely, graduate of Erskine col =
!lege, and three young lady assistants,
including the music teacher.
This school is rapidly becoming the
center of community interest, whicn
fact is made very apparent by the
large audiences which assemble for
the various entertainments given by
the school at intervals during the ses-
sion, as we'll as at the closing exer-
ciSeS.
Besides other school equipment, it
has very creditable library, which
IS largely patronized by the entire
community, and to which additions
are made each year.
