AN INTERESTING LETTER i CWon Fl °y J
%
let Us Enroll the Children.
We are inched grateful for tin
Met that a great many *f our runf
schwvls, probably one-fkird. opened
~y November - as wasp’anned sons*'
ptjhe ago. Nat as man? opened as
expected :to open, the people
beinf delayed an accoure of cotton
noti being gathered in several conr
muniiies. Hovaever,Those which did
open,opened with ,a good attendance
the fisst day. All the other schools
v<ill open not later than January 1,
: and v* 1 trust tfce roll .will increase
, daily .until every child of school age
is enrdHed in theitr respedc ve school.
With few excerptions, There is a
•school w ithin three .mile? of every
(Child in the county., and for those
•over three miles we are providing in
amine manner, so if <every .child of
sdhool agt is not enrolled it will be
[doe To the negligence of erfoer the
I + '“?Aer <xr the parent, or jrobably
fa.. We request every leather to
forth strenuous efforts t® enroll
dhildren-or to find out why they
not be, asid report to us monthly.
ien the teaeher has failed to enroll
r child after having strived dili
itly, we shall! then take the matter
directly with the parent or guar
n to see if there can be made any
angements to enroll them. We
st enroll them. Our schools can
, hope to be of the service for
ich they were founded unless the
!dren attend them. Therefore, it
lot only the duty of those who are
dally responsible, but it is the
:y of every citizen through whose
ns courses any patriotic blood,
ether he or she lie parent or not,
ether he be lawyer, doctor, far-
Iner or preacher, or whatever his
I’ocation may be, to see that every
■•hild of school age, who is physically
mble, attends school.
I When our State provides and main-
Itains an educational institution, in
Ireach of the child, it is a crime which
■ve believe should be unpardonable
|usany one, whoever he may be, to
that child of the privilege of
ittending to receive that training
vhich is absolutely essential to fit
t for duties which by time’s hasty
flight will soon fall upon fits should
ers, to perform and to 'bear. Who
will be so cruel and unkindly toward
humanity as te» ibe guilty *sf this ser
ious crime, when a little effort on
thdir part will aivoid it? There are
set res of young people throughout
the entire count? - who are no w bloom
ing ipto manhood and womanhood,
anfi have had Sew educational ad
vantages, who can and wilt attend
school if they «»uld receive tencour
stgement from auay source. Will any
teacher be so negligent and eareless
as to remain silenl in their commun
ity when by approaching kindly and
sympathetically these young people
c asi ibe induced to attend school? Let
us think seriously and try to deter
mine our duty concerning this mat
ter. Let us be true to the trust
placed in us by our State and Nation
by lending a helping hand to those
children, and ail those young people
who need most our assistance.

With whom had you rather do business? The man who sneaks up and whispers, ‘I can make
<4 • **
you a price,” or the man who steps up briskly and says, “I can render you service.”
We sell the kind of printing a man can send out with pride and the assurance that it will
BRING RESULTS. And we think enough of our ability to charge a reasonable price for
the product of our brain and hand. That price is r. either high nor low. It’s fair—always. But we
make our bid for business on the basis of seivxe. You need ourljkind of printing. That’s a
positive statement, but we’re ready to prove it. When shall we call?
