hope the school directors of this
county will look after the schools and
where there is not enough scholars
throw out the school and use that
money to the advantage of other
schools. There is a school down on
the brow of the mountain about three
miles from here and one mile from Oak
Grove school. They have fifteen
scholars and one family lives closer to
our school, and one as close to Oak
Grove school. So there are only seven
children that really are to go to that
school (near Bob McBee's) and Miss
Bassett, Il missionary lady, has offered
to teach the seven children at her
mission school. II there was more inter.
est, we could have longer and better
schools. When the children OF today
grow up, times will be different from to-
day. If they have not an education,
they will not pass at all. Children,
think along on this line and make good
use of your short school. 1t seems as
if we could have longer schools Four
months just gets children started.
Children be kind and nice to your teach
ers and teachers take an interest in the
children and you can always get
school. Mountain Rose
