built. From it's location on the corner of 4O-acre tract of land, the school re- ceived it's name, ''The Corner School. n The little school secured a teacher with a third grade license. At length the log house was outgrown and a new building was erected not far away. This was used Tor three or four years and was acciden- tally destroyed by fire. The present school site was then selected and a fairly good house was built. This was a quar- ter Of mile from the other, but the naine Corner School' was not changed. In the cyclone of 1908 this school house Was destroyed and the prospect for a school was again discouraging. This was the third schoolhouse the patrons had built. To undertake a fourth, just when many of them had suffered losses through the cyclone, seemed more than they could afford. There must have been temptation to give up trying to main- tain a school and to let those who could afford to go to other schools do so, and to let the others do without a school. They did not do this, though. They be- gan again and built small school house, almost every dollar of which meant a sacrifice from the one who gave 1t.
 Little Progress
 The mere housing of the school had been a matter of so much concern that the school itself had received little at- tention. Year after year there had been few months school during the winter ana few months in the summer, when the children were not needed in the fields. There was no concerted effort to improve the school, it was ungraded, there was nothing but the textbook in- struction and there was nothing to make it any better than the most ordinary lit- tie country school, although the history of its maintenance was far from ordi- nary.
 The children remained in school for four or five years and dropped out, or they completed the irregular seven years course and withdrew for lack of oppor- tunity for more advanced work. Had there been rural high school. they were so situated that attendance there would not have been practicable; so the chi;dren's educational opportunity was limited to small, one-teacher school, unimproved, and terminating with the seventh years work.
 Within the past three years the chil- dren of several progressive men of the neighborhood completed the course which the school offered. These men were unwilling to have their childrens education extend no farther. but upon the cost of sending them away to board and attend high school they decided that the expense was more than they could afford. ,r was out or the question to add a high school department tn the seven years course taught by the one teacher, and the attendance was not arge enough to allow them two teachers.
 Several of those who felt most interested presented the matter to the county board of education. The patrons wanted their children to have the advantages of a nigh school; they had none; they were not entitled to state pay for maintaining a high school; they could not afford the expense of sending their children to board and attend high school at some other place. Their school had been in existence for 29 years. maintained by their

oraer SclooJetteron Counys First Honor Country School

There is so much that is good in the county's country schools. So many points from which to judge them and so many phases to consider that 1t is hard to name any one school and say, This is the best" One may succeed notably. while another does equally good work but has greater disadvantages. One may be especially strong in certain lines, put not perfectly rounded; so when one judges he must think not only of results but of how the results were obtained. When he does this, thinks of the results, of the advan- tages and the disadvantages under which they were secured, the progress that has been made, and the strength of the foun- dation laid-when all is taken into consid- eration and decision is made awarding one school the honor of being best 1t is agreed that this is Corner school.
 Corner school is on the mountain elgnt miles west of Warrior, eight miles from a railroad, and is in community that is entirely agricultural. The story of the struggle to establish school in the com munity is one which shows remarkable teracity of purpose and superiority to circumstances. The success that has re- warded the long continued efforts to have school Is deserved.
 Establishing Corner School
 The first school taught in reach of the nelghborhood was subscription school taught in 1882, with an enrollment of 25 ar 50 children and a smaller attendance The next year a six-months school was taught in an old church, built of pine and poplar logs split open. There were large cracks between the logs, and the windows We're holes sawed in the walls, and lack 1ng even wooden shutters. The desks were homemade benches of one size, un- eomfortable at best and most uncom- 1ortable for the smaller children.

The Divorce Question.

In the midst of all the theatrical
frivolity comes play now and then
with moral, a play with and for a
purpose and written with the inten-
tion of enlightenment on a sub
ject that hitherto had received but
little thought, despite surrounding
conditions.
''The Divorce Question by
William Anthony Mcclure is power
fully written play, taking the stand
of the Catholic Church's opposition to
divorce, and proving conclusively
that divorce does not obtain the con-
ditions sought for, and particularly
emphasizing the parents duty to
the chilrden. This strikingly origin
al play will be seen at the Opera
House on Thursday night. Aug. 6,
under direction of Wingfeld & Rid
ings.
