THE CLOSE OF SALEM SCHOOL MISS COVINGTON TO RETIRE FROM TEACHING Exercises by Children-Address by Rev E O Watson a.nd Picnic Dinner. Tho closing exercises of Salem school last Wednesday was a red lotter day for that community. Tho day was an idoal ono. Tho children all went through their parts with enthusiasm and without a break or mistake. They showed that they had been trained by a master hand. Miss Mattie Coving ton has dono a noble work for that school and section during the IMist year. There was indeed regret expressed by all that she had de cided not to teach next session. She told tho trustees that if she were going to teach at all, she would remain Rt Salem. She in tends to spend next year in study and it is understood that she is preparing for missionary work. The trustees have been paying Miss Covington $7f> a month this year and she made about $10 ad ditional from a music class. Thc trustees are willing to pay her any price she asked if she would teach another session, but she told thom that money would be no induce ment. Below is the program, which was curried out with bril liant success: Scripture lesson, School. Opening Hymn, All Hai' thc power. Prayer, by Kev. K () AYatson. Song, Greeting Glee, School.

Miss Covington said that whatevo ' success sho had attended in school was due to thc support of patrons and trusccs. She said that she had never had a better set of trustees. She then introduced a member of the board, C I Sherill. Mr Sherill said that Salem levied a special bax two years ago and has adopted tho policy of getting the very best available teachers, even if tho school term has has to be shortened to do it. This year they selected Miss Covington who had attained the highest success elsewhere. She has not only trained the intellectual but the moral and Christian life of the children. It is regreted that she cannot be retained longer. Mr Sherrill then introduced the speaker of the day, Presiding Kider E O Watson. Mr Watson said that it was an unusual coincident that he had been present at the opening and the closing of this school. He had never attended a commencement that so filled his heart with joy. Repaid a high tribute to Miss Covington and her work. He announced as his subject. " It is the real human of life tc make the most of our powers.1 Genius, ho said, is the capacity ol hard work. Trained beasts can dc things that untrained men cannot lie had seen the horse, Jim Key, make calculations quicker anc more accurately than school chil dren. uWhat becomes of the smart babies? " asked Mr. Watson and then ho answered. "They have boen murdered by mother and father' and teacher, who rofuso to allow their powers to bo properly developed." Children should be encouraged to develop their natu? ral talents instead of doing some thing they do not like. There is no possibility of genius beyond you-nothing in tho world which you cannot do. "The al mighty has given to all arms long onough to reach tho stars, if they will only stretch them out." There is no greatness except tho greatness of achievement. Every thing worth while is wrought out by strenuous effort. Christ is the ono flawless ideal and there is no immortality or great achievement that may not be yours. After Mr Watson's excollent ad dress, Mr. Sherrill invited all to repair to tho grove where dinner would be served. After a goodbye song by tho children, Miss Covington an nounced that a piece would bo played while the audionco retired, but, she on the piano, and Messrs Aiken Heustess a? d Edwin Weath erly on violins gave such sweet music that the audience did not move till it was all over. And then came tho dinner, and such a dinner can be propared only by thc Salem people. Everybody ate all they wanted, and there was enough left for another crowd the same size. Tho trustees of the Salem school 'are C 1 Sherrill, Edwin Weatherly and A T Odom. They are to be congratulated upon getting Miss Covington this year, and the suc cess of the school.
