sKAGGs

Our school has just closed and we,
the pupils, are most proud of the splen-
did record we made. Every boy and
girl is proud of Mr.. Smith and Mr..
James, our teachers and we can say
that we have had two of the best
teachers in the county.
These teachers enrolled IS pupils
this year. When the county fair came
we entered the contests and did our
part. The little children, Hasel Shay
er, Gladys James, Ray Allison and
Earl James won the quartette. Earl
James, Van Ladyman, Edwin Van
Wrinkle and Ray Allison won the re-
lay. Earl, Van, Ray and Edgar Pres
ley won the tug of war. We all know
that with united effort we can accom-
plish more and we were united in our
efforts at the fair.
Our teachers and the pupils coop
Grated all summer at school and we
sure have been doing some good work.
Every boy and girl of Skaggs loves
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. James as teachers
and everyone can speak good word
for them. We hope that if they ever
enter school again they will have as
good teachers as we had.
We are sorry to learn that we will

We need a winter school badly and
several of our pupils want to attend

Milk Lunches for
All Children in
Grammar Schools

On Monday the system of serving
milk lunches to all of the children in
the several grammar schools was in
augurated and will, be continued
throughout the school year. Last year
The milk lunches were served only TO
the pupils Of the kindergartens and
lower grades, but II proved so success
full that in response to a general de-
mand it was decided to make the
lunches all inclusive ills year.
The lunches are served without any
expense to the school department
through the cooperation of the parents
and Of the Mothers Clubs and Parent
Teacher organizations. For the pupils
of the upper grades in the several
grammar schools the parents pay the
nominal cost for this service weekly.
The little tots of the Smith and Nash
kindergarents enjoy the lunches
through provisions made by the Kin
dergartent Mothers Clubs of the two
schools.
Last year the Augusta Rotary Club
and several public-spirited citizens con-
tributed to fund which was devoted
to providing milk lunches for those
children whose parents could not afford
to pay. and it Is expected that a SINH
lar fund will be started this year to
assure all pupils of the grammar
grades the enjoy ment of these eene-
fetal lunches.
In those grades where the lunches
were in force last year it was fourd
that the regular nourishment not only
showed beneficial results in building up
the physique of the children. but also
resulted in happier minds and greater
nrof1cienpy in their studies.
