(By Miss Lillian Hardy, )
It falls upon me, a member of
the ninth grade, to write the letter
for our school this weck.
I know I cannot interest you as
others have.
Our school is still interesting,
notwithstanding our former teach
er has left us, His chair was fill
ed by an excellent gentleman and
teacher, who takes great interest
in training our minds, So let us
exert every energy to show our
appreciation of such a teacher, one
capable of instructing us,
Well, we are soon to have new
blackboards, something we badly
need, On them we will display
what we know, and what we don’t
know.,
It was our pleasure to listen to
Earnest Willie at our school, and
an able effort he made in interest
ing us,
Sunday it was again our pleesure
to listen to the same gifted orator
on the education of the girls of our
country. Yes, he is right, educa
tion is something that adorns one's
character, and especially woman,
It gives to her what nothing else
can—ease in any society—and will
introduce her where nothing else
will,
It has been said, and truthfully
too, ‘‘a cultivated mind will chal
lenge respect,”
So let us strive to improve
every moment to increase the
talent God has given us, so in after
years we can lovk with pride upon
the past spent moments in the
school room of Monticello, Ga, |
