Progress in the Past
Few Years.

united was a five-room building made
of wood and plastereti on the inside.
This building was put up by a num-
Der of public spirited men rather than
a public spirited community.
The growth Of this public spirit was
rapid after awhile and the whole com
munity took an active part in the bet
terment Of the school.
AS Il result of the changed condi-
tions, the old building became made
quatc to supply the needs of the COM
munity, and SO IL handsome building
was erected in 1914, by the communi-
ty.
The present building is made OF
brick, is three stories high Counting
the basemenD, has seven class-rooms
Il library, an office, Il large auditorium,
and is heated by hot air
When the schools were first united
there were only three teachers and
about seventy pupils, while now, there
are six teachers and one hundred and
seventy pupils.
The school is the social center OF
the community, as it is the meeting
place of the associations, and, as the
plays and other public entertainments
are held here.
The school is reaching out into 9TH
or districts and many high school pu-
pills from other schools are now COM
ing to Gray Court-Owings.
The school has not yet reached all
in the district, partly, because the
school has not done its best to get the
Pupils TO como, but, mostly because
they have not seen the need Of an cdu-
cation.
The ideal or ambition OF this schoo
is to get all the high school pupils
within miles around to come here for
their education.

Friendship School.

Friendship schoolhouse is situated
about seventy-fvc feet from the road
in Il large grove, near Friendship
church. 1t is a two-story building,
painted white, the upper story being
used for 4 Woodman hall.
Many improvements have been made
in the last year. One of the rooms
has been heightened eight feet. On
the twenty seventh of November the
ladies Of the Rural School Improve
mcnt Association gave an oyster sup
per and raised money to paint the in
side Of the bcilding. This added great
ly to the inside appearance. On the
thirteenth OF February the larger pu-
pills and young people Of the commun-
ity gave a play to raise money to get
new blackboards. The amount real
lied from these two entertainments
was $3l.O0.
With the exception OF two, all the
pupils in our district are enrolled.
This enrolment was last year seven
ty-thrce. The boys have good ball
ground. They have played several
games with the schools near here.
The teachers, Misses Madgc Harris
and Cleo Ward have carried on a night
school for the benefit Of the cOmmuni-
ty. The people Of this community
take 4 great deal of interest in the
school work, and use the school house
as the center of social life for both
the old and young.
