Ii ID q SAldIIlG that HUE ID HOI
being done on the part of the
more intelligent people of our
county to influence greater per
cent Of the children to attend
some school. A report by ex-
superintendent, J. C. Nichols,
shows shat less than one-half the
children of school age attend
school. This is not due to a
lack of school houses and school
teachers or of sufficient funds
to maintain them, but due to a
lack-of interest of the parents,
the gardians, etc. who have in
charge these children. A good
school and good attendance de-
pend largely on the class of
teachers. yet without the CO.
operation and interest of the
parents, the greatest good in the
way of attendance and progress
can not be obtained. How can
we be so negligent with regard
to the education of the children
when we remember that the
best government depends largely
on education; that the greatest
progress depends largely on edu-
cation; that the best citizenship
depends largely on education;
that peace and dignity of our
country depend on education;
that our welfare and safety de-
pend largely on education, that
education eliminates crime, law
lessness, strife, and builds up the
church, the home and our welfare
in every line; that the educated
mind accomplishes the most in
this world; that the uneducated
boy or girl can not grapple with
the educated in the struggle of
life, and many other advantages
the educated have over the un-
educated. we say when we
remember these facts, how can
We be SO negligent with regard
to the education Of our children?
Tt is now time for parents and
others who have in charge chill
dren to give more time. thought
and expense to their education.
Awake and give them the very
best possible opportunities. Do
not permit them to grow up and
go through Dfe handicapped
with ignorance. IF there be
children in Carthage who are
not going to school and should
be, it IS the grave and RESPONSE
bic duty Of, not only the board
of education and teachers, but of
every citizen here to see that
such child be enrolled and attend
school regularly. Likewise in
every other community.

Fort Defiance, Va, Nov. 30. 1914
Mr.. W. @. Boze,
EImwood, Tenn.
Dear Mr.. Boze Your letter
written to the postmaster at
lStanten. Va. was forwarded
to my father. who was pastor of
the old church You were inquir-
ing about. We are indeed proud
of our church and it will give me
pleasure to CRAFTY your request
by telling you something of its
history.
Many of the first settlers of
the Valley of Virginia were
people who had been so badly
treated in Scotland and Ireland
on account of their religious be-
liefs that they left there, pre-
tferring to face the new world
with its many dangers where
they could worship as they chose.
These people crossed the Blue
Ridge Mountains aud settled
through the valley. aud about
1740 began to build the church
which Is now standing and is cal
led the Augusta Stone Church.
These brave people endured
many hardships and the building
of the church was a great under
taking. While the men brought
the stone the women rode horse
back to North river where they
got the sand used in making the
mortar. A room was built on
the northern side OF the church
which could be used as a kitch-
en- tfor IN those days the people
would come early in the morning
and spend the day.
At the time of Braddock 5
Defeat the people became very
much alarmed and were thinking
very seriously of leaving the
valley and going nearer the
coasb where there would be less
danger of the Indians taking
them. But their pastor. DR..
John Craig, told them that ne
thought they ought To stay, that
lit looked like they did not have
much faith III God If they could
not trust Him to take care of
them. He advised them to
build fort around the church
and then in case the Indians
should try to attack them they
could all gather inside the fort
where they could protect them
selves. Two towers we're built.
