MOST EXCELLENT OPENING
ST. PHILLIPS SCHOOL.

We had the pleasure of attending
the opening of the st. Phippils school
on Monday. It was a real aspiration
to be there. The people OF that COM
munity have, in fact discovered the
school house and they are proud Of it
and have a right to be. In the last
few years the school has grown from
a one teacher school in poorly
equipped building to a three teacher
school and a handsome two story
building and everything wears the ap-
pearance of thrift and prosperity.
It is difficult for US to get away
from the office on Monday but upon
the urgent invitation of the patrons
and trustees and the teachers we de-
cided 10 make the effort and through
the courtesy of Superintendent Wilson
we were present going in his car with
Prof. o. B. Cannon. We have had
several invitations to the openings OF
the schools which we greatly appre-
eiate but for various reasons we were
unable to attend
This 81. Phillips section is a fine
community and the people are awake
to the Importance and value Of good
school and they take a deep interest
in its welfare and are proud Of its
success. They are fortunate in hay-
ing three fine young ladies as teach
ers who also take just pride In the
school and who are excellent teach
ers. And they-the patrons, children
and teachers-are to be congratulated
that there has been no change in
teachers for the present year over
last year. The teachers are: Misses
Mary Brown, Ola Brown and Frances
Caldwell
The enrolment the first day was 81
and it will go over the 100 mark dur
ing the year.
