MRS. ADAMS BEGINS
EXPRESSION WORK.
Mrs. Adams, the new expression
teacher, who is filing the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr^
Johnson, held her first classes here
on Monday, January 16th, and will
teach two days in each week during
the second semester.
There are s : xtoen pupils from the
grammar school and six from the
high school. The high school stu
dents are: Anavieve Blackwell, Car
rie Mason, Elizabeth McAlister, Lil
lie Moss, Carrie Lou Strom and Joe
Dukos.
The departure of Mrs. Johnson
caused the students to lose some of
their enthusiasm, but they are now
beginning to regain it. Mrs. Adams
expects . to have, by the end of the
week, as many students as she will
have time to teach.

REV. BLEDSOE TALKS.
Rev. J. A. B edsoe gave a most in
teresting talk Wednesday, during as
sembly period. He read a few verses
from Proverbs, after which he talked
on “The Mind as a Camera.” We
store up pictures in our mind that
are not forgotten. Of the things
that we see, our mind forms a ment
al picture that lasts on and on. Even
though we would not like to remem
ber some things they are there as
plain as anything else. Our minds
are open to evL things as well as
good things. So we must be very
careful what kind of pictures we
store in our minds. We are the only
ones that can close our minds to evil
and open them to good things.

Association—Mr. E. C. Dwelle, Mr. ing to the annual report of the state
superintendent of education. How
ever, 8,690 teachers were employed^
an increase of 72 over the number
engaged in 1926.
The enrollment of negro pupils, it
says, decreased by 10,000, the en
rollment last year being 155,523. Ac-<
cording to the report, one of the out
standing facts from the county sup-
erintendants’ reports is that a large
number of the counties had fewer
negro children enrolled than for the
previous year. Two factors are giv
en the responsibility for this de
crease; the migration of the negro
to other sections, especially in com
munities which have poor school fa^
cilities, and the fact that a number
of parents were unable to buy cloth-
| ing and books for the children to
attend school.
The report pra’ses the 6-0-1 law,
saying: “No better state aid law has
ever been devised than the 6-0-1 law
for equalizing school costs and
school opportunities. The irregular
ities found during former years in!
the disbursement of state aid under
this law have been practically elim
inated through the active co-opera->
tion of county superintendents and
other school officials with the state
department of education. In order
to equalize further school cost and
school opportunities each county
should put on a county-wide tax to
take the place of district taxes.”
