Mrs. Greneker Appointed.

Mrs. Halle N. Greneker has
been appointed organizer for Edge
field county for the School Inn
provement association. Every school
in the county, it matters not how
small, should have such organiza
ton. In addition to improving the
school building, equipment and
grounds, it affords an opportunity
ur means for the patrons to CO.
operate with the teacher in what
ever is undertaken for the benefit
of the school. Not only one or two
individuals in the community should
stand by the teacher, but the en-
tire community should have a part
in making the neighbprhood school
what it should be. An or
ganization provides channel or
means through which all can have a
part. Communicate with Mrs. Gren.
eker about the formation of such
an organization for your school and
she will gladly give you all of the
assistance possible.

Misses Wates, and Evans cur
teachers at Flat Rock, report
splendid time at the teachers as

Their presence even stimulates and

should encourage and assist their
teachers in attending each session.

gave up four enrolled members,
same members came to them from
