Teachers Institute.
The public school teachers of
the county assembled in monthly
Instit ute at the Covington school
'* uild'ng last Saturday.
Almost every teacher in the
county wa9 present and more in¬
terest was shown in the work than
has b en shown in many meetings.
Rev. R. C. Cleckler, of Coving
ton, led in devotional exercises
H*- gave the the teachers a most
excellent talk and urged them to
make their work, most especially
their devotional exercises, simple
it iid comprehensive for the child
itn. ,
Miss Dorotbv Martin led in a
d i-cussion 11 How to keep the
children in school.” Her article
v.ns an opportune one as it dealt
with a question that confronts the
teachers ut this period of the term
v.hen so many are irregular in
tti«-ir attendance. To have the
.^parent see more in mind und mind
|Vodu« t than in land and land
product seemed the only solution
iq the problem.
: Prot. R. H. B. Keeney, of the
Livingston school, responded to
the subject “A Phase of Discip¬
line.” His article was one of the
most sensible that could be writ¬
ten on the subject. It wa3 in¬
dorsed in toto by the teachers and
at the suggestion of Mr. J. A.
Cowan it will be published in the
educational page.
Mr K. A. Goodyear gave some
viniely thoughts on the subject,
• v The Teacher as a Citizen.”
Editor Jas. P. Cooley of the En¬
terprise, and Rev. Joe Winburnof
ibe Mansfield Leader, addressed
the teachers in the interest of the
Newton county cottage to be built
at the tilth district agricultural
school at Monroe. Mr. Winburn
proposed that this cottage be the
home of the president, and on mo
<ion of J. O. Martin the teachers
its a body indorsed the plan as just'
and fitting.
Several other subjects of im¬
portance were discussed.

Plans for Better Schools.
In the series of papers which I
have so far contributed to your
columns, I have pointed out what
is implied in the education o£ our
children. 1 have shown some of
the weak points in our system of
public schools, upon which our
people have come to rely too much,
and those points are mainly three :
1. The lack of first class people to
devote themselves to teaching an
their life work. 2. The shortness
of the school term. 8. The lack
of sufficient money to carry on our
schools properly. This cannot be
remedied by increased taxation,
for the people have rejected that
plan. Relief must come from the
voluntary contribution of the par¬
ents to that end. I am not sure
but that this is the best way after
all to obtain the be9t results from
our schools, for it is human nature
to prize a possession or an oppor¬
tunity according to what we or our
parents have had to pay for it.
What costs us nothing we put a
low estimate upon. I have sug¬
gested to those in authority how to
stir up interest in this subject by
holding meetings in. the interest of
our schools, by enlisting the
preachers in this work, by availing
ourselves of great gatherings of the
people on court days or sale days,
and occasions when our schools all
come together to speak for prizes.
Let this suggestion for supporting
our schools by private contribu¬
tions be ventilated by some one
whose soul is on fire with tho sub¬
ject, and the fire will spread. This
has been done in several couuties
in the state, and what has been
done tn one place can be done in
another. Putnam county presents
a great object lesson on what can
ean be done on this line. A num¬
ber of public spirited, brainy in¬
telligent men conceived the plan
and carried it out, and what was
lacking they supplied by individu¬
al contribution, and so have the
best system of schools in the state.
I have already referred to the Flint
Hill Bchool, whose patrons say to
their teacher ot the close cf each
year when he is thinkiug of trying
for a better place, “State your
price and we will pay it.” So far
they Lave paid it. Carroll county
has, to a large extent, done what
Putnam did. A gentleman told
me this week of bow they managed
in one school in Carroll while his
own children attended. They 8( .
lected the man they wanted and
sent a committee to see on what
terms he could be had. “Add
$500 to the same amount which
the public fund gives.” “We will

direction and they will do it. This
is our only hope for good schools
in this county. J. S. Moore.

Porterdale School Notes.
Next Friday afternoon we are
going to have our annual Arbor
day exercises and Easter hunt.
We all an joy this day more than
any of the spring term.
We hope to have our friends
come out on this occasion to see
us plant the tree and watch us
hunt the eggs. Our teacher al¬
ways has a gold egg hidden; and
the one who finds it gets the prize.
It is very exciting until after; this
egg has been found, for wfe all
want to be the lucky one.
Prof. Adams, we want you to
come out and bring those little
boys again.

Emory College.
(by PAUL F. WHITE.)
At the meeting of the Oxonians
Tuesday night, March 19, Rev. W.
B. Dillard read a paper on Cuba.
The purpose of the paper was to
show the possibility of Cuba as a
mission field and what the protes
tant, especially the Methodist
churches were doing. The discus¬
sion which followed the reading
of the paper was more a general
discussion of Roman Catholicism
than it was the conditions in Cuba.
Under the head of the election
of new members Col. J. P. Cooley,
Rev. E. R. Per.dletan and Rev. J.
B. Gordon were elected.
The committee of the fatuity
known as the “Library Commit¬
tee” has decided to spend a con¬
siderable sum of money m comple¬
ting the sets of the standard En¬
glish and American authors. It
is gratifying to know that many of
the books which are need to com- j
plete our sets are not found in
them a present bacause they have
been so popular with the students
that they have become used up.

Hayston School Notes.
I
1 Dear Ediior,
Replying to Mr. Martin’s letter
tor a brief history of Hayston
Academy, I will enclose the fol¬
lowing data concerning it, which
| wiU be interesting to a large num¬
ber of subscribers in and out of
the county.
About the year 1878 Mr. T. F.
Shepherd deeded one acre of land
to Messrs James Harwell, A. L.
Jackson, j. C. Flemister, J. I.
Rosser, J. C. Cash, trustees, upon
which was erected what was then
known as Flint Hill School.
Mr. John Flemister was the
first teacher. He was succeeded
by Mr. S. Mid Smith who con¬
ducted the school very success¬
fully for several years.
Under varied vicissitudes the
school nourished at this place for
uearly twenty years.
In February 1895 while under
management of Prof. W. R.
Stewart, the school was moved to
Hayston, where a nice new build¬
ing had been erected. This was
painted, and standing in the
midst of splendid trees, became a
nucleus around which the com¬
munity rallied with strong loyalty
and willing support.
Soon another room was added
to accomodate the increasing at¬
tendance. It now required an
assistant teacher each term.
Some of the teachers who have
labored in this school are Prof, R.
F. Eakes. Mrs. Hollis, H. V.
Jackson, Mortimer Hays, Miss
Fannte Kate Persons and Miss
Langel David. •
In 1905 the plan of conveying
children living at a distance to
the school by wagon was adopted
and worked admirably.
The attendance reached its
highest average during this term
the school being under the direct
tion of M iss Clara Sulzby Principal
with Miss Lois Duffy assistant
During this teim the school
grounds were beautified by the
planting of s»me flowers.
In 1906 Miss Oste Wills ably
assisted by her sister Miss Ethel
rendered a good years work for
the school.
For the present year Miss Au¬
gusta Rosser is employed as prin¬
cipal with Mt 9. Ivirl Jackson as
assistant and the high standard of
efficiency in former teachers is
being maintained. The term is
