MEIGS


We attended the last day of
school at the Valley last Friday.
After dinner to which we could
not do justice on account of lack of
time, the school put on fine
program followed by patrons and
/ teacher expressing their views on
different phases of the school work.
! All seemed to be of the opinion that
! the building should be repaired.
! The patrons and pupils expressed
! themselves as being much pleased
with the work of the teacher, Miss
Georgia Walker. Valley has the ad-
vantage when it comes to centraliz-
| ing of location. Miss Walker did
not make her plans for the coming
year known. Were we in the legis-
lature we would have a bill passed
that such teachers would not be al
lowed to marry until too old to
teach school.
