School Affairs.

The public schools with the eXcep-
tion of two or three colored ones, have
closed. Considering the difficulties at
tending the change of text books and
the stringency of the times, good Work
in the main has been done. OF course
some schools have not been successful.
Many schools havebeen highly success
full. So far as annual reports have
been examined the attendance is about
what it was last year. DR.. Taylor was
mistaken as to the percentage OF at
tendance based on census for the years
1911 and 1913 though correct in his
figures for 1912 According to the
records of this office the percentage of
attendance based on the ce nsus in
Adair county was Ala in 1910, 4O.4 in
1911, 6S.5 in 1912, and AS in 1913. The
best percentage made this year, so far
as noted, is 1928 in District 81, Joe
Calhoun teacher, with Dist. 36, OAR
rell Strange teacher, close second
with 65. percent.
On account of the hard times caused
by last years drouth and the peculiar
ly embarrassing circumstances attend
ing the change of text books in 1914,
it was almost impossible to enforce the
compulsory law, and so no special eff
fort was made to do this. l propose
next school year to enforce the COM
pulsory law, for there will not be the
same grounds then for not doing so.
The school book question will be, or
at least should be, out of the way. l
shall ask every teacher to report
promptly to the Superintendent all
the known delinQuents. They will
be duly notified and unless sufficient
excuse for non attendance is produced
they will be proceeded against accord
ing to law. But 1 will give further
notice and further explanation In due
time.
wish to say to the patrons that if
any of them have not yet secured the
newly adopted books that this must
! be done before the neXs Scnool year
begins No teacher will be allowed to
teach any but the adopted books on
pain of forfeiting salaIy. The old
books can be exchanged for nearly half
the price of the new ones until July
l, 1915. After that date the old books
can not be exchanged for anything.
Let patrons note this and act accord.

The Right Spirit.

Some men give gifts costing hundreds of dol
lars but the presents raise few thoughts of genu-
inc thanks in the hearts of the recipients of these
munificent tokens. Other men give trifles or q
mere merry Christmas" and the gift and the
salutation fall like benediction from heaven and
are reciprocated with words Of true thanks. This
merely goes to show that it's all in "the way you
do it." All of us have seen costly gifts received
with little appreciation, and again, we have seen
mere trifles warm the hearts and cheer the soul.
The costly gift given by a thoughtless or over
bearing donor sreceived in much the same spirit,
but the insignificant gift of genuine friend, Civ
en- from warm heart, always arouses a recipro-
cal feeling of kindness and cheer in the heart Of
the recipient and he voices it by a genuine ex-
preston of gratitude.
