The Dixie Spirit.
Browder

By the Dixie Spirit, l mean the
splendid school spirit shown by the
patrons and friends of Dixie High
School on Friday night, Aug. 4.
A barbecue and ice cream supper
given for the benefit of the school
produced results which indeed are
marvellous. 1t was estimated that
| from five hundred TO six hundred peo-
pie were present and every one pres
ent possessed 100 per cent enthusi-
asm A Stacker in Dixie would be
about as popular as mole in 4 flower
garden. Any person who has any
doubt in his mind as to the success
of consolidating rural schools needed
only to be present on this occasion to
be thoroughly convinced that the on
ly salvation for the rural school is in
consolidation.
In this community there were for
merly three or four small, one
teacher schools, none OF which was
efficient. Something had to be done.
The people with their Characteristic
energy and enthusiasm went about
the task of building a school in their
midst instead of sending their boys
and girls away from home to be edu-
cated AS a result OF their efforts
they have mo lern building Of
which they arc justly proud.
Their school, this year, under the
leadership of Prof. L. d. Williams,
assisted by Mr.. James Marshall and
Miss Saphronia Allen, has surpassed
the expectations of its fondest
friends. The enrolment to date is
1874, with % in high school.
l have seen these teachers and pu-
pills at work in their class rooms and
l have wondered if the patrons fully
realize just what kind of teaching
force they have. The zeal and enthu-
siasm in their every day work is no
less than that exhibited by the pa
irons on Friday night.
There is not a dull moment in the
day-every moment is brim full of
interest. There seems to exist the
most perfect harmony in every way
Teachers and pupils are in love with
their work and with each other If
this kind of work continues, it is a
question of only short time till
Dixie High will rank as one of the
very best schools in the State. Truly,
the success of this undertaking
should be a revelation to all who are
in doubt as to the best course to pur-
sue in dealing with our rural schools.
There are only two courses-consol-
idate or die.
My advice to any one not fully con-
WINGED on this subject is to go among
these good people and come away
filed with the Dixie Spirit, which is
trulygreat friend and well wish
er.

local uses and benefits.
There is no enterprise like it for

tion the association books show the
