their children on their farms, and so
permitted the farmers children TO
remain away from school. The sup
erintendent stated that since she has
been In office she has visited 80
schools. and during her trips she had
noticed the unpcked cotton, and had
sympathized with the farmers, and
desired To aid them to the greatest
extent possible. II have been fair
TO the people," stated Mrs. Zaneis.
"but the time is at hand now when
every child should attend school. The
compulsory age is between and Is
years, while the permitted age, for
any person to attend school is be-
tween and 81 years" Mrs. Zaneis
urged the members OF the school
boards to cooperate with her and
the newly appointed truant officer
Jchn Quincy Adams, to enforce the
school laws and see to 1t that every
child attended
Vacancies on Boards
Vacancies on school boards was
the next subject upon which the sup
erintendont spoke. When a vacancy
occurs on any school board. 1t is the
duty of the other members Of the
board TO Immediately notify me- she
said then 1t is up to you men to
call a meeting of the people residing
IN your district, and have them select
the person whom they desire TO fill
the vacancy. and will appoint the
peoples choice"
No transfers from one district to
another will be made after June 1st
Mrs. Zaneis expressed herself as op-
posed to transfers unless they were
absolutely necessary. 1T is not far
to crowd the school of one district,
with children from another district "
she stated, "and unless the transfers
have been made for some plausible
reason, they should not be consid-
cred" Mrs Zaneis spoke in this man
ner both from the viewpoint that
districts which were not receiving
their apportionment for teaching GER
tain children in their schools, were
nevertheless forced to have them in
their midst. and from the viewpoint
that schools of one district were over
crowded. while others were barely
occupied.
Display Of Flag
One Of the most important matters
brought up BY the superintendent
during her address was in regards to
the display Of the American flag In
the school rooms OF the county. 1T
Is law OF the school," stated Mrs.
Zaneis, that the National Emblem
be displayed in every schoolroom. II
is one OF the most vital matters IN
school life. Our boys and girls
the future men and women-should
be taught patriotism, should be taught
TO love their country and consider II
above all else save their Maker. They
should be instilled with such patriotic
pride and spirit that nothing in the
world could take II from them. by
all means, do not fail to have a
United States flag displayed in your
schoolrooms. II you have no funds
with which to purchase flag, call
q meeting OF the community and raise
the funds. Or II you cannot see any
way in which TO raise money for
this purpose, let me know. and III

Parent Teachers Association
II is the purpose OF the superin-
tendent to organize parent teachers
association in every district. The
principal of the school in each district
will act as chairman Of the organiza-
ton, the next teacher in authority
as secretary.treasurer, and the mem
bers Of the school board MS the eN-
ecuiiye committee. according TO the
plan outlined by Mrs. Zaneis. The
superintendent explained that she b.
lleved in such appointments as Off
GERS because the teachers and mem
bers OF the boards were more familiar
with the school work and plans than
others. and could thus guide IN,
parents In n better manner.
In concluding her address. Mrs
Zanels said. Tho ambition for the
boys and girls OF Carter county Is
that the school boards realize the Inn
purtancc of their positions. Make
plans for the schools In your districts
which will give the boys and girls
proper environment, and educate them
to be prepared for the responsibilities
which they will eventually have tC
take up
