SCHOOL CLOSING AND
FARMERS RALLY At
WHITE CYPRESS.
Prof. Leonard Cuevas has
Successful School Closing
Address by Co. Supt. Jno.
Craft and Co. Farm Agent
II. O. French.

White Cypress pay school in Hancoci
county came to close last Saturday
night and besides big school rally il
was also the occasion of big meet fol
the farmers of that section.
| Prof. Leonard Cuevas has been in
charge of the school. He IS to be con-
graduated upon his splendid showing.
He is bright young man, former
pupil of the Sellers Consolidated School
and although this has been his first at
tempt as an instructor he has shown his
ability for the profession in an able and
spIendid-like way and is well deserving
of the title he has won.
Hancock county,is to be congratulate
ed for its excellent showing in furnish
ing many of its schools with home
teachers this fall. There are more home
boys and girls engaged in the schools of
the county this year than ever before
in it's history, showing conclusively
that great interest in being displayed.
The pupils Of Mr., Cuevas' school were
we'll trained and all recited exceptional
" we'll. Another feature of the enter
tainment was the beautiful display of
boxes that had been prepared by the
pupils. These were auctioned to the
highest bidder and handsome prices
were given for many of them, the pro-
A. : ,,,l; bo g.
nefit of the school.
Thus, besides being a program for
entertainment it was one for the benefit
of the school as we'll.
The address delivered by the County
Superintendent was along the lines Of
school improvement, and on more oc-
casions than one attention was called to
the fact that the attendance in point of
average in many of onr schools was
not what it ought to be and that while
great improvement had been made
there were still greater improvements
awaiting US in all lines of endeavor and
especially in school work. Another
feature of the occasion was the address
delivered by County Farm Agent H, o.
French for la3k of time. Mr.. French
did not say all that he wished to say,
but touched upon the things more vital
to the farmers just now. He told them
that greater day had never faced the
farmers than at the present time, de-
nancial situation that was altogether
favorable to him. The address was we'll
received and much interest aroused
among those present.
Another meeting Of the kind will be
looked forward to in the near future.
