ral School Notes
The progressive patrons of
Bethlehem school district met in
their school house Friday after
noon and discussed ways and
means for building a new school
building, which is badly needed.
Their old school house is too
sm-f and inadequate to meet the
requirements of a forward-mov
ing community, being only aone
room house. Theschool employs
two teachers aind there are 84
pupils enrolled. For lack of
room in the house one teacher is
co'mpelled to teach her classes in
the grove.

in Pickens county where the
school house will not hold the
children comfortably. T h is
