KILLING THE SCHOOL IS
IN JONESVILLE. of

Principal H. A.. Wise Writes About
the Bond Issue. th
' wi
Hindsight is always better than ^
foresight, and it is easy enough to
say what we would have done had fr
we known that things would Wve
been thus and so, but surely thew*
people of Jonesville would not have V,
voted down the prospect to enlarge '
the present graded school building w
if they had thought for one minute ^
how it would have effected the .
school and the town. Next to the ^
church there is nothing that is of ^
such benefit to the town as the ^
school. The two go hand-in-hand,
each building the other. They are ^
the best representatives of the life
of the town, the best indications of
prosperity and progress. Any attempt
to retard the growth of ?
either is a blow to the progress of
the town or community. Every
town wants the best people possible .
in it, but unless these same people 1
can obtain the best advantages they fl
will go elsewhere, leaving, theu- v
..I.7i, wmi tfrfFis filled c

[ nity, to their own welfare^ that of ,
: their children. A nBBlS' Slement
in arfy town, surely. j
So much by way of introduction. ^
Now for our own school. We have .
j an excellent building of five rootns, (
four class rooms and an audito^
rium. We have now enrolled 175
pupils with five teachers, an aver
age of 35 pupils to one teacher.
We have not class rooms for the
o five teachers so one of them must
'f use the auditorium. That was not
intended to be used as a class
h room, so it has neither boards nor
f desks. At present there are six
desks on the rostrum that were
brought in from the other rooms.
r The children cannot use pen and
' Jnb- writing ln>nsiuse thev have
n no place to write. They, can't be
n taught from the boaM, because
[y there is no board except one made
of lx)ards that we succeeded in getting
last session and a small piece
a' of canvas tacked on the wall,
k* Anyone who knows anything of
.e" teaching knows that you might as
well try to build a house without
8. lumber, raise cotton without seed,
a8 or keep a store without goods, as to
8s try to teach without a board.
('e Someone, in the vears to come, is
n* going to say, "Your son writes
terribly. Where was he taught?"

part aboi^ it is
the issuing of lx>nds. They *
