good of the school and all concerned, regardless of what others may
eay or think.
4. It shall lie their duty to have one or more from their number,
or from the list of patrons, to visit the school each week. The idea

trons to co-operate with the teachers in every effort that is for tho
upbuilding of the school and uplifting of the community from

ing the affair.
8. It shall bo thoir duty to report all grievances to the trustees
eithor in person or in writing. Using all means possible to prevent

the trustees for better conditions.
4. It shall bo their duty to think long and speak seldom, es,
pecially in presence of their children or at any other time whon it

Make it a rule if you cannot say something good, you will say noth
ing; especially while school is in session. Do this and yours will bo
the guin.
0. Encourage your children. How thoughtless some people
are! They say one word sometimes that, perhaps, will blight the
precious being tlmt has been intrusted to their care. Children arc
human and you can treat them us such. Thoy soon know right from
wrong and it rests with you to gnido their foot-steps. , Which way
will you have them go? Discourage tattling; hold your tongue while
in their presence; show them that you want them to ho somebody;
see that they do their work at all times, and lend them your aid
whenever possible. The teacher enn do some things and some things
must be done by the parents. Be a connecting link between the
child and the teuclier and you will find that tho gain will he yours
every time,

11. Pupils failing t.o observe the foregoing rules,lay themselves
liable to suspension, or punishment, as may lie deemed best for the
pupil and for the school.
ID. Discipline.
Such rules and regulations ns are necessary for tho good discip
line of the school have been adopted by the Trustees, and the Princi
pal is clothed with power to make such additional rules as he may
deem advisable. Parents and guardians wiio enter their children
subscribe by that act to the rules and regulations of tho school, and
are reasonably expected to bo acquainted with the significance of the
hot, and to co-operele with the school authorities for the accomplish
ment of best results for the children. No special favors will ho
shown any one. The business of our pupils is to study, and any
proper means will be resorted to tlmt may be necessnry to secure tho
proper result. If either parents or teachers fail of kind but firm
discipline, they fail of their duty. The discipline of the school de
pends, in large measure, upon the hearty support of the home. We
crave your assistance. One rule should suffice for all: Do Right!
IDl. School nnt> Community.
It is.a country school, being three miles east of Byromvilld, the
nonrest railroad station, and seven miles west of Pinohurst. It is
situated in one of the most healthful spots in Georgia. The people
ns a whole are above tho average country communities in wealth nnd
culture. The community is thickly settled and most of the people
are property owners. There are, however, a few good farms for rent
and anyone looking for a good locution close to a school would do
well to visit Qur section.
We are endeavoring to make of our school one of the very best
of its kind in the state. No means or efforts on our part will be
spared in making of it such a school as any community would be
proud of. It is our intention to have in our school everything that
should lie in every country school. It is our aim to try to build up
and bring out the beauties and pleasures of country life nnd incul-
ente within our children n love for the farm nnd honest toil instead
of idleness nnd slothfulness. To this end we have employed up-to-
date teachers, and are now arranging for greater accommodations in
the, way of buildings and materials. Wo have given over tho small
room to tho Principal to be used us a rending room nnd library, a
placo for the children to go to get something good when they have a
few leisure moments. We are to mid another room to our building
nnd fit up a shop for manual training, agriculture, domestic science,
drawing and nature study. It is true all this cannot lie accomplish
ed at once, but then we are working to that end. We believe that it
is almost as essential to train the child’s hands as it is his head. We
believe in education for life.nnd not for school. Wo do not mean to
neglect any of tho fundamental branches but rather to correlate these
with things that are more practical. We believe also in educating
the being us a whole, morally and physically, ns well ns intellec
tually. All we can do to this end will lie done. We have the ad
vantage of towns in this respect, in that the children are not
so liuble to associate with evil companions.

our plans and work can apply to either .I. G. Oliver or H. W. C.
