Our
Teachers
As the school year is slowly
drawing to a close, it is time
to stop and think about the people
who make it possible for us to
learn—our teachers.
Teachers are a hard-working
group, much more hard-working
than most students realize. Stu
dents might complain about hav
ing homework to do, but do they
realize that teachers also have
homework? Teachers must pre
pare their lessons for the next
day just as students might—
except much better. They must
understand, for of whom can
thev ask questions? And teach-

ers’ work dosen’t end with their
own homework. They must also
grade students’ homework, tests,
labs, and themes. Also, many
teachers sponsor clubs and other
activities, so their work often
keeps them at school into the
late hours of the day.
A teacher’s work doesn’t end
with the student. He must also
fill our reports, attend meetings,
and often go to school himself
to keep up with the "modem
math,” “new English,” and the
like.
In addition to all this, the
teacher must have that intangible
ability to "relate” to his stu
dents. This has to be squeezed
between all the equations and
declensions and laws of science,
and it has to be present with
out being obvious.

of truth. Southern Railway does serve the
South efficiently, with a 10,200-mile-long

Last Friday the 4th grade at
Palmer Stone learned that a pro
fitable, new kind of farming is
being carried on in Newton Coun
ty.
The red clay hills that once
produced corn and cotton are now
used to raise mink on the farm
of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Felty
at Route 1, Oxford.
The 24 boys and girls in Mrs.
James Bohannon’s class visited
the farm and learned many in
teresting facts about habits of
these little animals.
The Feltys raise pearl colored
minks, which produce the most
expensive pelts.
The minks are members of the
weasel family and are quite vi
cious. They can only be hand
led with heavy leather gloves.
When they are excited they give
off an odor like a skunk. They
eat ground fish, chicken and liver.
The females have litters of 8 to
