McDonough is to be congratulated
upon the serenity of her municipal
affairs, which are iu happy contrast
with the turhulent contesis of some cor

workiug, that the date for the annual

no election was held. Consequently
the old officers are holding over, and
will continue to do so, under provision
of the charter that they shall continue
in office until their successors are duly

Miss Mary Miller died in Jonesboro
last Friday from the effects of measles
and her remains were brought to the
old home in this county Saturday for
interment in the family burial grouud
Miss Miller was a sister of Mrs. R J.
Nad, and at the time of her death was
residing with her brother, Mr. Jim
Miller, in Jonesboro. Mr. Miller’s
entire family, we learn, are down with
the measles, and none of them were
able to attend the funeral.
An excitiug escapade occurred last
Tuesday at the old place just this side
of Cleveland’s gin. Two mule 3 be
longing to Mr. Sam Coker ran away
with the wagon, and one of them fell
into an old dry well 29 feet deep. The
mule was suspended by the harness,
which had to be quickly cut to prevenr
the other mule from being pulled in.
The well bad caved in enough for the
mule to walk around when he reached
the bottom, and iu a short time ropes
were placed around him, by which he
was drawn to the top, scarcely any the
worse for his exciting adventure. The
mule’s antics while being drawn up
are said to have been exceedingly
amusing, and at the same time pitiful.
Still Another.
Last week we noted the probability
of still other new stores, in addition to
that already in progress by Mr. A. A.
Lemon. Since then Mr. Tom Sloan

has had in contemplation, adjoining
that of Mr. Lemon.
Dirt has already been broken for
the foundation, and it, too, will be a
handsome brick structure. It is to be
completed as rapidly as the work can
proceed.
Mr. Paul Turner is still considering
the erection of his building, while it is
currently reported that the Carmichael
Company of Jackson will commence
the erection of a splendid building on
their lot here iu the early spring.
So it will be seen that our predicted
era of prosperity has begun in good
earnest.

•‘ftie School Question.”
MK. Editor: Under the above
cap ion in your last issue I notice some
criiieixins touching the school board.
While it is the privilege of any citizen
to express himself freely on any public
su* j.'ct, yet the public ought not to
lose sight of the tact that the education
al hoard of Henry county is doing its
hot to put all the schools of our coun
ty on a first class footirg— t footing to
secure the best results, and that re
dound to the good of every hoy and
girl who attend these schools. The
board has no selfish ends to subserve,
their whole aim being to improve our
school system and bem fit the school
children, and at the same time deal out
even handed justice to both teacher and
patrou. I know that some of the
changes made have provoked criticism
and censure—no change of any custom
(though the change being ever so
good) was ever made that did not pro
voke criticism and censure. When
the Declaration of Independence was
published in 1776 it drew forth a
strong protest from the business men of
New York. And it may not be amiss
here to refer to the changes made by
the boaid. First, sfter a careful study
of the whole situation the salary plan
was decided upon as being the only
just and equitable plan of distributing
the public school fund. There may be
some mistakes in grading the schools—
these will be corrected as rapidly as
possible. The board of course would
like to pay the teachers larger salaries
than those stipulated, but there is just
so much money and no more, and this
must be divided among 65 schools.
The public fund for 1896 will be less
than iu 1895 in Henry county by
reason of the legislature (in 1894)
changing the school year, which gave
us about one third of the fund of 1894
to be applied to the fund of 1895. So
that in no case (either salary or pro
rata) wtll the pay be as much this year
as last.
Secondly. It is the opinion of ex
perts on the school question that it is a
grave mistake far thu school day to ex
cel d six hours and that iu order to
properly train a child’s mind and ob
tain the best results the hours of study
should be as nearly continuous as pos
sible—hence in large ciiies and other
localities where this question has been
made a subject of careful study the
schools take in at niue o’clock and
tnrn out at one or two o’clock, giv
ing only short and necessary recesses.
Some may say that mental work is
easy. Suppose you fix your mind on
any subject and see if you can study it
continually and without letting your
mind jump to some other subject for
the space of ten minutes, and see if
you don’t find it a hard job. The care
and tiaining of a child’s mind is very
much more important than that of his
body—both are important.
Thirdly. It is known that the old
custom of giving forty to seventy-five
children (ranging from six to eighteen
years) an hour to two hours at noon
is especially bad for the morals of the
ckild. Let any man's mind revert to
the things done, heard, seen and prac
ticed by the boys or some of them at
“play time” during bis boyhood days
and this question needs no further ar
gument.
The changes made by the board is
in no sense an imperial decree. Un
der onr form of government every
public official is the servant of the peo
ple aud the people themselves have the
right and the power to change any con
stitutioDal law or ruling from the consti
tution of the United States down. So
that if the action of the board is nn
satisfactory aud works badly it will be
promptly remedied.
I would suggest that those who are
dissatisfied give the board credit at
least for doing what they thought was
best, with the assurance that if it does
not prove for the best it will be cor
reeled.
The board at its last meeting decided
to leave the public school term to the
teachers and patrons; that is, the teach
er of any school hy agreement with his
patrous may select any five months
from January to December, in which
to make bis 100 days public school
term. Thomas D. Stewart.
