! We are pleased 10 note that the

j this term of the Colquitt High I
i School with public exerc s -s. When !
j Mr Merritt was State School Com
i; of Ga. we heard him say, “School
exhibitions are tiie killing <f the
j<?f tl o ~ Pftclier s , but they arc the

; that it is a lazy, or incline enij
( teacher who refuses to close a good
jjschool with public exorcisi's.
