BLAIR NOTES.
Vacation days are now at a close
and the teachers who have not already
taken charge of their schools will do
so very soon. No doubt, with the aid 1
the State and county summer schools t
have given them, our teachers will be
enabled to do a more useful and inte
resting work this sescion. Education
is truly a grand, a noble work, and
teachers should take a deep interest
in developing the minds of their
pupils; for are not these little ones, j
who are now striving to climb the i
"tree of knowledge," to take the t
place of those who are now holding C
the responsible positions of our coun- s
try ?
The patrons of the Blair school have
secured the services of Mr. John Jef

College.
