GRADED PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING AT MANSFIELD
MANSFIELD NOW HAS ONE OF THE BEST SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY,
In 1905 the leading citizens of Mans¬
field conceived the idea to build a
modern up to date school building.
As in all noble undertakings, many
drawbacks, and in short much was
done to discourage them.
But such men as Almand, Coogler,
Hays, Wood, Franklin, Knight and
many others put their shoulders to the
wheel and never ceased pushing the
work until they had erected a build¬
ing of which any town in the state
might justly feel proud. Some of the
men had fairly good opportunities
themselves, but some others that
should have gone to school in the dark
days of reconstruction, were hindered
on account of poor school advantages
at that time.
So these people were determined
to provide better school facilities for
their chil ren than they had for them¬
selves. Now Mansfield has a school
building of which they are justly
proud. This building was completed
in 1908 at a cost of |8,000 and was
opened to the pupils the following fall.
There are now five able teachers,
with Prof. H. L. Foster principal.
The school is well graded and ably
managed.
Prof. H. L. Foster was educated in
the Jonesboro High school, and at
Emory college, Oxford, Ga. He has
had five years experience in the school
room. He is a most excellent scholar¬
ly gentleman, and of an exemplary
Christian character. Previous to his
election as superintendent of this
school a year ago, he was principal of
the public school department of Pied¬
mont Institute, Roekmart, Ga. In
addition to filling well the position of

der the same condition as the medals

any such crowd. If through these
agencies the Southern colleges can
be drawn under the control or ren¬

men who support this so-called Edu¬

tion of time when their influence
may be wrongly exerted to the deep
and lasting injury of the Southern
American people.
