If knew you and you knew me-
II both Of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine
The meaning OF your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less
And clasp our hands in friendliness:
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree
II knew you and you knew me.

Administration estimates that

Conditions have developed
which have made it necessary
to handle the wheat situation

tional wheat To points where
the elevators are full because To
do so would cause large nun,

with grain which could not be
cisposed of at destination and
this would result in practically
taking such cars out of the
transportation service and using
them for storage aud depriviug

ceived an invitation to attend
an entertainment at the East
Stone Gap High School next
Friday night. He would like
to attend and would likely do
so were he not TO be in another
part ofthe district trying to or
ganize Il Citizens League. We
congratulate East Stone on be-
ing the first school of the dis
trIct to get up an entertainment
for the public this session. This
is a very important phase of
the school life. 1t serves to add
interest to the school work, to
help make, the school II social
center of the community, and
TO give the children an oppor-
tunity to put to practical use
and for the pleasure of others
the things they are learning in
the classroom. What school
will be the next to follow this
lead!
We spent a few minutes in
Miss Virginia Bakers classroom
at lnmun and We're much pleas
ed to see good results in Il read
ing class. The teacher was
helping the children to get the
thought of the sentences, and
give 1T without referring to the
book. In one way and auvther
teachers, let us abolish any
reading in our classes that il
not real expression of thought.
TO allow our intelligent and
sweet voiced children to point
out the words enc by one with
their fingers, a process which
one little boy at Crackers Neck
informs me is u fool habit -
and TO name the words one by
one as pointed out in an un-
natural and nonotonous tone,
and without realizing the mean
ing of what they are reading, is
a crime against childhood. We
cannot too vigorously attack
this habit nor overcome it too
soon. Let me offer a few sug
gestions. UD Read carefully
what the course of study says
about reading for all the grades.
You will find this full of the
most practical help. Begin to
work along the lines discussed
there. (2) Introduce dramati
zation into most any piece of
any book. CD Follow the plan
observed today and often
have the children think through
Il sentence before reading it
aloud. ~ Have the children
read only sentence at time.
1t may not be an easy thing to
get a good habit of reading
where a bad one prevails but il
must be done if we are to call
ourselves real teachers. And
you are going TO do it.
And let us not relax our dill
gence regarding the sanitary
conditions of our schools. II
we cannot get done all we need
right now let us get and do all
we can. Remember the six
things mentioned in our first
letter: ~ Lighting, (2) Venti-
lation, (3) Heating, az Cleanli'
ness, (5) Toilets and ~ Water
supply. 1t is as necessary that
these matters should receive
your daily attention as it is
that you should teach reading
and arithmetic successfully. II
is in fact more important.
am hoping to get to every
school during the month of DC
tober. | come with a desire TO
find out where you are doing
we'll and 10 help you in any
way L can to do better. We
are working together to achieve
the best results. Let us help
one another "as the days are
going by"
