Reasons Why Rural Schools
Should Have Longer Terms
BY Willie Dixon,
Jackson County High School

Jackson County High School
Pupil.
This essay was awarded first
premium in school contest held
November 26.
There is nothing so important
and necessary for the welfare
of a child as an education.
1t is something that will stay
with him and keep him in re-
spectacle place in life when
nothing else can.
A fortune can be spent in a
short time and nothing realized.
but good education will be of
greater value to a child and will
eqnip him for any profession in
life that he may choose
In order that every child may
get the needed training In ele-
mentary and High school that
is required before he can enter
any professional institution. it
necessary for him to attend
school at least seven or eight
months each year until he has
completed the courses.
According to law, it takes q
child at least seven months of
school to complete a grace. In
five months a child cannot COM
a grade a year and the child
goes over the same thing the
next term, out grows the grade
and stops going to school be-
cause he's ashamed to be in such
a low grade and loses interest.
Another reason Is, that under
the short terms of school 1t is
impossible to get the best teach
ers at the present. low salary
and consequently without a good
teacher we cannot expect a good
school.
Good rural schools will do
many things for Tennessee.
First. they will help the future
farmers.
Second, good rural schools add
to the community, enhances the
value of the property. Very few
people will buy a home where
is no school advantage.
The business men of Tennes.
see should support and work for
longer terms of rural schools.
Men are leaving the farms to-
day on account of not having
good schools. Every enterprise
in the state is now handicapped
by lack of education.
There is no better way to
build up a community than to
have good schools. People will
continue to go to the cities until
we have longer terms. 1t is
shocking to see the possibilities
of this state going to waste. If
we don't do something for rural
schools. in the future our citizen
ship will be made up Of sixth
grade men and women.
In 1888 the average term of
rural schools was 104 days. only
ten days longer than it was 20
years ago. Even less than it
was ten years ago. People had
better wake up and have longer
terms.
There are other important rea-
sons, but these alone are enough
to convince the Board that our
elementary schools need longer
term.

The fight happened in my new

four long ladders leading down
to the bottom.
The hosting gear was shot
away just as reached the top,

The fight started when sheriff
Bill Giddyhead attempted to. dis
arm young Billy He'll who was
on the witness stand giving in
his testimony regarding his con-
nection with the moonshining
and bootleging operations that
have assumed such gigantic pro-
portions in my six towns Of late.
Young Billy He'll insitsd on
keeping his pistol out in his hand
and cooked, while he was CIV
ing in his evidence. His atten-
tion was called to the fact. by
the attorney general, that it was
q breach of etiquette and illman-
ners and fell entirely outside Of
the rules Of polite society to have
his pistol out in court.
His only answer was that he
didn't give a damn.
At this juncture the Judge
interposed and said it was a
slight contempt of court and
commanded Billy Giddyhead to
disarm him.
Then the trouble commenced.
Young Billy He'll emptied his
pistol at the court and his
friends. the Cad boys Joined in
with him, with the Giddyhead
boys on the other side.
They shot down the ladders
and no one could get out. The

BACK TO BETSY AFTER
FORTY YEARS ABSENCE
Recognizes Only Two Old Faces Ana
The PIastering in The Southern
Hotel

Tom Garner, who ran newspaper
in Elizabeth City forty years ago was IN
Elizabeth City this week for the first
time in 80 years. He came to renew
in the old town and found
only two of them living, ]. L. McCabe
and NJ B. Culpepper. He tried his best to
find something that looked like Elizabeth
City 40 years ago, >but the only thing
that looked like old timess was the
Southern Hotel. Even the plasterlng and
the plumbing in that -hostelry seemed
familiar to him.
Mr.. Garner went from Elizabeth City
to West Virginia in the mining section
of that state established a successful
paper. He\was getting along fine with
it until strikes became the order of the
day out there. He says that recently
it has been worth ain editors life to write
about the strikes and there has been
little else of local interest to write.
He sold his paper a few weeks ago
for $4,000 and will take the rest OF his
life easy. He is now 60 years old.
