at the next meeting at which all meme
Z bers are in attendance. Considerabl
cOmmotton has been aroused over the
naming of the school. The naming Of

zion among board members since the
contract for the construction of the
new building was let.

space at each of the schools and it is
thought that the closing of the streets
would give the needed room.

board on the possibility of installing
oil burners in the school in case of a
coal shortage. No action was taken.

By Mr.. c. G. Wade

Did we have good t;.1e?
We did. Who? Mr.. and Mrs. C..
G. Wade.
Three thousand six hundred sixty
six miles to the Atlantic Coast and re-
turn in flivver. Time-sixty days
ending July 1st, 1922.
We eamped by the roadside seven
teen nights. The remaining forty-two
nights we cousined with our many rel
atlyes. Between my wife and me we
have tifty-nine relatives and old
friends throughout the thirteen states
we visited; but they were not always
Judiciously located for our convenience
at sundown. But camping isn't half
bad if you are equipped for it.
Our auto truck built to fit the car
contained an auto tent, a gasoline
stove and all conveniences, rain coat.
rubbers, overalls for one and Sunday
clothes for two. The trunk holds
about as much as two steamer trunks.
1t was the envy of the touring public.
We camped occasionally by abandoned
school houses. We were curious to
know why the country schools were
nearly all closed and going to ruin.
Surely these could not all be shaker
settlements. The fact is, the rural
community has suffered for many gen
erations for want of efficient teachers
and equipment. Whereas, the rural
school, with its range of children from
infancy to 20 years, should have a
most phenomenal teacher, it gets only
such as can not obtain, or hold, city
or village position. Beginners in the
profession. IL is gratifying, indeed,
to see to what large extent the viii
lage, or town, graded school has come
to the rescue. The children are now
