Dear Monitor—
I cannot restrain this opportunity to
write to you as a scholar of the Maury
school. Our school opened about, the
(ii'st of November with Prof. L. F.
Short teacher. Long toward the first
he enrolled about twenty. Now he has
about forty-three on roll. Prof. Bllort
is a good teacher I think that we Cannot
praise him too much. The pupils of the
school are generally industrious and en¬
terprising. They get their lessons very
well, our teacher said that he might
ohallt nge sonie other schools for A spell¬
ing match, or any other kind of study
in a general Common school studies.
There are pupils in the school who study
orthography, reading, history, geogrn-
phy, grammar, Lesson in English,
arithmetic, algebra, both nniversitv and
common school, geometry and Latin etc.
'flic scholars learn their lessons very
well but when noon or recess comes they

Neighbors give your boys a
chance. These are days of keen and
exacting competition days When
strong moral courage and trained
brain work are marketable at the
highest price in the history of tile
nation; days wherein success in
business world comes ably to the
one who has specialized mental
training: Fathers qualify your boys
for the battle of life; tlio time will
soon be when they will leave your
fireside and will bfe out in the world
struggling alone, with nothing only
their own merit to help them: Moth¬
ers you know the pride you have in
your boy—his success is heaven do
you —his failure a heartache and
grief keener even that! his own.
