Obedience.

Once upon a time there were two
sisters. One was Rosy and the other
was Mary. Rosy was obedient and
Mary was disobedient. One night
their mother told them to 60 to bed.
Rosy said, "All right, mother and
she was in bed in a minute. But
Mary said, "Oh, mother, it's SO early
/ don't want to go to bed. I'll go
in a minute" Mother said, "Be sure
you 60 in minute" Five minutes
passed, 10 minutes passed, one hour
passed, but Mary did not go to bed.
Her mother said, MARY, you must

On Sunday afternoon I went to
Chappells to talk to the negroes up
there who are trying to build a school
house in that district for the negroes.
Following my usual custom en- such
occasions the trustees of the district
were to be there so that they may
keep in touch with what is doing.
Mr.. A. P. Colemon and DR.. Willie
Holloway of the trustees were present
and Mr.. J. L. Fellers, and.I presented
the plans by which they could go to
work to build a house. There is
none in the district. The spirit of
cooperation on the part of the ne
groes in this district seems to be fine,
and they have already bought and
paid for a lot of four acres and have
some money in the treasury and rals-
ed a good bit Sunday afternon, and
seemed determined to go ahead and
do their part following the leadership
of the white people of the community
and cooperating with them, and that
is the only plan by which they can
accomplish anything worth while and
the only way by which | will work
with them at all.

and now they have four class rooms
to accommodate the four teachers,
and it adds greatly to the convenience
and the appearance of the building
and makes the work easier and better
for the teachers and the children
The large auditorium was filled with
the children and the friends of the
school, and DR.. Derrick and Miss Ber-
rie and myself made addresses and
gave what, encouragement we could,
and helped as far as possible to keep
alive the fine spirit which now pre-
walls in the district. There is very
active Improvement association here
at this school and it has done fine
work in helping the trustees, and l
hope now that the first thing the as
sociation undertakes will be to put
in a modern lighting system, because
they frequently have entertainments
at this school and lights would be a
great advantage The teachers this
wear are Clarence Lominick principal
and Misses Halfacre, Cromer and
Lominick assistants, and they start
out with the determination to have
a good year and l am satisfied they
will have just such year.

Monday morning l went to ,Pomaria
and took along with me DR.. S. J. Der
rick of Newberry college and Miss
Berrie of the home demonstration
department. We did not start quite
so early as the Monday previous, but
we reached ,Pomaria in time for the
opening at $50. The driving was
fine and the roads in fairly good
shape. This day was an epoch MAX
ing day in the history of schools at
Pomaria. This community in the
years gone had one of those old time
classical schools for which the county
was noted in the past They had good
teachers then and the boys came from
a distance to attend the Mt. Bethel
academy, and the school fiourished,
and some fine young men were sent
to college from this school who made
good at college and in after life in
the various professions which they
entered. Then for while there was
Just a one teacher school with on
Indifferent sort Of interest. Then
came the rural graded school and two
teachers and then the three teacher
rural graded school. When the build
ing was erected that is now used it
was planned for enlargement and
only half the plan put up and left so
that the other could be added when
the demand for it came. And it has
come and the additional four rooms
have been built and a high school has
been established with FIVE teachers
and the children are there, and | am
expecting fine school here this ses-
sion. The people have the right spir-
it and they showed their interest and

The teachers at Pomaria this ses-
sion are J. H. Bedenbaugh, principal,
and Mrs. L. B. Bedenbaugh assistant
in the high school and Misses Duckett,
Thompson and Lominack in the ele-
mentary department. On Monday at
the opening of the school encouraging
addresses were made by Col. E. H.
AulI, DR.. S. J. Derrick, Prof. D. L..
Wedaman, Mr.. Jas H. Pope and Miss
Berrie and everything starts auspi-
cous ly for a good year. There is 2
live association of the women of this
community who are active in all good
work for the schol, and that means
a great deal for the success of the
school. They not only raise money to
help to do things, but they help in
very large measure in keeping up the
school spirit and the community spir-
it and without these you can not have
any sort of school worth while. The
trustees at Pomaria, john c. Aull and
J. J. Hentz and Thos. A Settler, are
united and work together beautifully
fer the school and have given of their
time in looking after the building and
taking the right sort of interest in
the school, and this spells success for
the school at any and all times, and
they have a right to be proud of what
they are doing.

week. l hope that every teacher in
the county who now holds below a
first grade certificate will attend this
examination and make an effort for
a first grade certificate, and that es-
peciaNy every teacher who has a per-
nit will attend so that she may get
out of the permit class. Where the
schools are open and the teachers de-
sire to take the examination I hope
the trustees will permit the school to

may attend the examination. l want
