1t All Depends on
The Teachers Reports

Supt. Fuqua calls our attention
to a provision of the new school
law that it were we'll every parent
fully understand. This law is effec-
tive right now. 1t provides for daily
reports by all school teachers show
ing the number of pupils present in
school each day. All the aid we
get from the state for our public
schools is based on daily attendance
not on scholastic population, as
was formerly the law. And par
ents, as we'll as teachers, ought 10
hear this in mind. Parents ought
to see to it that their children are
in school every day possible. Let
nothing except illness keep then
away. And teachers must be promp'
in making out the daily reports.
supt. Fuqua is supplying teachers
with cards on which at the end o.
each day the report can be mad
out in five minutes time. A one
cent stamp will deliver them to tn
superintendent, and he, IN turn
must make report weekly to tn
state superintendent of public In
struction, if we mistake not.
Mr.. Fuqua is bending every en-
ergy to the end that Weakley cour
ty school children may get what
coming to them in an educatlon'
way. Some of you may not Xno'
it, 1--WE do) but Fuqua is rated Tn

has gained this enviable reputatio
among educators by his hard worl

ROSALIE.

n OSALIE and Rose appear to be OF
N the same general root, the more
euphonious name of Resale being
French extraction. A curious point Is
that the color rose Is irrevocably as
ISOLATED with the name Resale, as
we'll as Rose.
The history Of the name Resale Is
most interesting. 1t first was given
to fair women Of France and 1t was
there that st. Dominic arranged q
series Of 0evotlons by means of tell"
ing beads upon a string. These formed
the rosarium, or rose garden, or freely
translated, delights Of devotion. The
Rosarium has a day to itself In the
Roman calendar and may possibly
have named the transatlantic Saint
Rose di LUNA, which gave rise to Ro-
| sta, Switzerland calls her Rosel and
France Rosine or Rosette. In Eng
land she is Rosanne, sometimes Rosa
bella, meaning beautiful rose" From
italy comes Rosina and Rosetta. 4
