WHY MT. ZION SCHOOL IS A
STANDARD.
What have we done to make
Mt. Zion school come up to the
“Standard”, you ask? -j
Just this: Worked hard and
persevered. The secret of ’ our
success has been "Keep on trying ”
Aboqt one year ago the people
ibf the community realized the
neeiFof a school in their midst
andhegaif at once to talk school.
TheyTi'sftl lo “begin at the : begin

they had to go before ttw ■ County

Having gotten thus far, work
ceased until the latter part of Jp|y
when all the men of the commun
: ity came together and, according,
to Mr. Tolleson’s plans, worked
faithfully and steadily untilthe
building was completed. Very
little work was hired.
-.■‘4*l- }■ *
School opened Nov. 3, i
with seventeen pupils present, j
We. had neither blackboards nor
dj:sks and ’twas not; an unconl-'
nvon sight to See the ptupils ccmi
ing to school with a chair, on one
arm ; rid their books on the other.
We got along as best we could
for several weeks and when
the news came “The desks
have come”, we were more than
glad. These were given by the
county and a teacher’s desk by
the (trustees. It was not but a
little while then until Mr. Tolieson
told us he would give us a black
board if we would send foE.it and
no time was lost in gettingit here. ‘
But our school was not up to
tha standard by any means, so we
planned to have a “box supper”..
and, paint the building both inside
and outside. From this weclear
dollars and the painting
.was * finished just before the
holidays. , - 1

1914. while 1 was at Locust Grove,
the people of the community
came and spent the day improv
ing the grounds considerably and
doing such other work as was
necessary, as building a well shel
ter, etc.
The trustees and patrons de
serve the credit for making Mt.
Ziriii a standard. They said. “We
will” and have succeeded.
To those pupils and patrons
wno have not been so successful,
I would say, “Keep on tryin**”’
and you will enjoy not only know
ingthatyou have a “Standard”,
but a school of which you are
f>rpud.
