It is unfortunate that slang phrases
are so easily slipping into our every day
conversation, and taking appearently so
fixed a place in onr talk. And the worst
ol it is that bo many people are using
slang, entirely unconscious, of the fact
tlmt they are doing so. lithe common
usage of slang, were confined to a par¬
ticular order of girls, it would perhaps,
servo ns an indicator of character, and
pass unnoticed. It would at least, not
touch the sensibilities of gentle folks.
But it is not so confined. Slang is in¬
vading the very nicest of circles; it is be¬
ginning to influence the talk of onr most
carefully reared girls. And this is why
the habit should receive closer attention.
Girls are forgetting that slang phrases
and refinement are absolutely foreign to
each other. A slang phrase may be
more expressive than a term of polite
usage, bnt it, is never impressive, except
to impress unfavorably. It is high time
that onr girls should realize that they
should speak the English language in
their conversation, and not'.the dialect
of the race tract nor the lingo, of the
base ball field. A girl may cause a
smile by the apt ti.se of some slang
phrase. But, inwardly, those who
applaud her, place her at the same time,
in their estimation. In the contrary,
many a girl unconscious of the cause,
has found herself gradually slipping out
of people’s respect by the back that her
talk was dotted with slang phrases.

Dear Monitor.—
Will you allow us a little space
describe onr celebration of
birth day last Tuesday? In the
place wo put up a fine large picture of
Washington, beautifully framed, and
then we crossed a couple of flags over it
with a back ground of evergreens.
Beneath, in large pretty letters a as
name and the inscription “Born, Feb.
1732—Died, Deo, 1799. Below this was
a beautiful wreath enclosing one word
‘•Liberty.” Now wo built an altar
covered with the national colors, led,
white and blue, and upon and around
this, each pupil was to lay an offeriug
of evergreen. By 3 o’clockouraudience
had assembled, aud as the stains of a
beautiful march floated out from the
organ, presided over by onr music
teacher, Miss Daisy MoMurria, seventy-
five enthusiastic boys and girls marched
in under the stars and stripes. At the
door we divided and marched in single
files next to the walls met ottr partin'rs
in front of rostrum, marched solid down
the centre divided and met again at
rostrum where two by two we laid
offering of evergron on tho altar of pa¬
triotism then marched out and around
the east colonade where wo entered a
side door aud marched on the rostrum
standing three columns deep, aud now
ten little girls and boys filed in from
same door aud took position in front of
ns, aud on their bosoms were pinned
very largo red letters which spelled
Washington. Thu music now changed
to the patriotic strains of “America”
which we all sang with emthusiasm.
After this some nice seckction were
read by Missis Lilia Hawk Iris Ragan
and Matt,is T. Collier. Prof w. H.
Short then aroso and made some appro-
printe and eloquent remarks, announcing
at his close that Judge Beck who
needed no introduction would give us a
little talk. Now it goes without saying
that Ibis was worth listening to for
whether the Judge talks for money cr
for accomodation he always has some¬
thing to say worth hearing, and this was
no exception. His tribute to Mary the
mother of Washington, and through her
to the mothers of America was especially
fine. After this wo closed by singing
that stirring old national song, “The
Red, ivliite and Blue.” The afternoon
was most instructive and enjoyable to
the school, ami we hope our audience
cises. felt repaid Yours for with coming best out wishes, to our exer¬
Morgan School.
Mars’ Hill School News.
Mar s Hill. Feb. IG, 1898.
Dear Monitor.
I gladly accept your kind offer to
publish communications from the pupils
of the school of Calhoun,
Our school opened November 1st 1897
with Miss Carrie Hyder as teacher,
Over forty pupils are enrolled. Wo
have one boarder student, Miss Emmie
Roberts, from Early county. All tho
pupils and tho patrons speaks well of
our teacher. Our school lumso is near
the I’rimitivo Baptist church. It is
furnished with improved rnodoru desks,
a wall map and two charts, one of which
has just been received and is highly
appreciated by I each cram] pupils.
Wo have both u fire-place and a
heater.
Our pupils are all kindly disposed, as
evidenced by tho fact that there has been
no material trouble of any kind, either
in school or on the playground.
Wo have a fine set [of boys. Not one
of them in school uses tobacco in any
torin. All of our pupils are very in¬
dustrious.
When the bell rings we Lave fo form
in line and march in. After the differ-
cut hi cli'- tis get water v e ure renrly
study.
We have both oral aud written recita¬
tions. We Iiko the combination of
and written work yery much, and find it
very improving.
We take great pride in our class of
beginners. They have only learned
their letters incidentally, yet they read
and spell very nicely, while some
them write as well or better, than many
of the larger pupils. They take much
interest in their language and number
work.
I would.like to speak of our different
studies but will only mention this time
that we are learning to draw and color
maps very nicely, and that we frequently
write stories in our language work.)
Would it not be interesting to priut
some of the stories from the different
schools? Competition might make all
work harder.
With best wishes for tho Monitor—
and all the schools. Sincerely
Mollky Clennky,
Education.
Education is an indispensable ac¬
complishment one cannot attain
wit hout the knowledge of books.
When one knows something about
books they have some education.
Education is the highest develop¬
ment in life. We should strive to
get an education by improving each
day, each hour and each moment.
One cannot attend strictly to busi¬
ness without an education, they are
I bashful in company and don’t have
j muc " to sa - v ,r ‘ company with those
*-Uat has a higher education than
they. One cannot get an education
by merely reading or reciting lessons
or hearing others read and reeite
them they have to study and study
hard. Most every one that has a
good education has a good name and
a good name in man or woman is the
Immediate jewel of their souls, and
there is nothing Iiko a good name
and good education, It’s original
system as expounded by its founders
j which set forth the custom of the
past and points tho advantages and
defects, the noteworthy arrangement
which educational reformer have put
forth against existing systems. The
art of education works instruction
and discipline and tho practical de¬
tails of the school-room and on the
organization and supervision of
schools. We should help and en¬
courage others to got an education,
for one needs an education so as to
go through tho world without any
difficulty. Education stands en tho
topmost stone.
Neva Stewart,
Dear Monitor:—
It is very good in you to give tho chil¬
dren a hearing and I expect you tliiuk
tho Morgan school is slow about writiug,
but we uro taught to bo polite aud I
thought as long as the Monitor was otir
town papor I would wait and give others
a chance. We all enjoyed colebrating
Washington’s birth day. wo had visitors
and we all tried to please onr teachers by
doing our best. I am eight years old
and I Imvesix studies—spelling, reading,
arithmetic, geography, language lesson
and writing. I have one pet and that is
i my sweet little sister. Jewel. She runs
to meet me every day when I come from
school. I am afraid to writo any more
for fear you will put it in the waste
basket. Good-bye.
