ORAVADA, New, March 19.-Yes,
Mary Ann, l was jest tellin' Ezary
that this here country ought to con
solidate their schools. Why. say, last
fall they had a pretty fair teacher at
Amos, but a lot of credit she got
from the ones that should have been
right proud of her. and glad to have
her willin' to fool away her time ON
a couple or so of emery kids, (all
school kids are at the onery age so
'cuse me, Mary ANN, when she jest
as well as not be havin' a little fun.
But no sir, mind we, the most of
the folks didn't care 'nough bout her,
nor her knowledge, nor her willing
ness to even make their kids go to
| school, honest, Mary Ann.
And say, / want to ask ye a ques-
| ton, how could We expect them i'm
nercent kiddies to take an real in
terest in the ole red school house,
an willin' teacher, an them books, If
| their parents didn't? An | want to
ask We another question, how do ye
'spose the county and state school
boards an superintendent could
take an interest in the ole red school
house an them uninterested folk ?
Now | SEE they jest couldn'ti Any
way it is not very interestin' with
only two or three real interested kids
let lone most everybody bein' I'M
interested.
Well, Mary Ann, the superintendent
came out and sed they'd have one
more chance to get interested an if
they didn't they couldn't have any
more school. but I'm glad to be tellin'
we they percked up and are still
havin' school, but say. if they'd con-
solidate the parents wouldn't have
such a terrible time keepin' their boys
an girls interested. Yer know where
there be several in each class it's jest
naturally more interestin' than jest
one or two, for yer see there is a
chance for competition, an n tires
to get ahead of the 'tother an they
don't want to miss a day, feared
they'll git behind.
An I SEE when the little folk be
interested at somethin', we big folk
can't help bein' so, and when the sup
erintendent hears bout the school
youngsters bein' interested, which
makes the teacher more interested.
an in turn makes the parents
interested, why that there superin-
tendent jest has to be more interested
an come out to see what the interest
be all bout, an he is so pleased he
