REPORT OF TJ1E AUXILLIARY
BiMRL^ .
To tho Hoard of Directors of
Forrest City School District:
Wo. the ladies of the Auxiliary
Hoard, wish to make ©nr report
for the school year just ended,
At the first meeting of the year,
the President appointed commit
tees for visiting the school weckl)*.
This we have dono, with various
.interruptions, as best we could.
Wc have found teachers and pu
p>ls working harmoniously and
! irare been well pleased with tho
progress of the school generally.
In the High School Department,
the continual change ot teachers
| has retarded tho progress and
tiampored the principal to some
1 extent. As usual, he has risen to the
requirements, and has succcodcd
fin bringing order out chaos.
“Wc cannot pass on without mak
ing mention of tho very efficient
work of Prof. W’Ulinms. He as
sumed charge of the school when
it was in a most (lemoralixed con
dition and in two years of his gen
eral ship with the assistance oi his
‘ able” corps of teachers, has made
it a well graded school, one of
which Forrest CHly may well bo
proud, lie has given to us our
•‘first graduating class”, for which
wo all give him honor ami tliunks.
Now, let us not go backward!
Forward, be our march!
Wo feel compelled to urge upon
,thc Hoard the great necessity ot
continuing tho Public School, while
it is on a firm basis,-the best it has
ever attained In the history of our
town, realising fully as we do,
what an irreparable loss it will bo
to the children to lose the coming
pine months, it will amount, at
leu$t, to tho lo.s.<} of two or three
years orj you might better sa}', to
twenty years, since it has taken
that length of time* for it to attain
unto its present degree of excel
lence.
The Board have served the peo
ple faithfully and well and have
proven themselves equal to any
i t\;ergeney in the past, that we
can but trust, with perfect confi
ileme, in their ability to raise the
required thirty-five hundred dol
lars, ($8fiOQ.OO) or any amount that
they deem necessary for the main
tui nance of the school.
Wo submit this report, feeling
that nt the first meeting of the
“School Board’’ in October, we
will be with you in a body, for the
purpose of congratulating you upon
having given to Forrest City, a
Public School worthy of “The
poard,” the children, the Century.
Kespeetfully submitted,
Mrs. X W. Norton President.

works ami-sewer system, arose and much
discussion ensued, which drifted away in
to ilie night without any definite result.
