EDUCATIONAL COLUNN. uv W. 1! MU.M l; About Som Schools of the County. Unfortunately Me- long view school lias lean at a low ebb lor a number of years. I won i pre tend lo ---t\ whoso built it Ini.- been but the lael ( remains. This term, after almosl ih-Ap,air ing of liinlingl a teacher, at the hist inomeiil the. toilnnately se c.nre.d the service.- ot Mi - (•,1011111 Weaver. Some ot -lo* doubling Thomases ’ cried onr Gh, a wo man e.niinol manage Ibis school, we need n m.'ui with innselo jiml.bii' lv bone, who will knock down ami drag out.' 1 Miss Weaver took charge in dne time, and it was soon apparent that she knew her business. She brought order mil ol chaos without “knocking down amid ragging out ” and now has one ol the most or derl.V schools in the comity, and children and patrons swear by her. Miss Weaver is ably assisted by Miss Marion Henry. Since this term begun, ls| Monday in October, an addition Inis been built to the school bouse, o 2 new patent desks have been bought paid for, and put in the school house. Last Friday night Misses Weaver and Henry gave a most unique and enjoyable entertainment, which netted .ftl. This has been invested in more desks and a library for the school. The experieneejof the Longview school this year was that of the Bradley school last year, under bliss Minnie Washington. When she took charge of the Bradley school, Oct, Ist 1!M)8, it was in bad shape. The whole south end of the school house was torn down and a par tition of rough edge was lacked up to keep out the south wind; the floor bulged up in some places ami was sunken in others; for seats they used long and heavy ehurel benches. Now, they have one of the hand soim-st seho.il houses in the county, located on an elevation in a bean Ii tnl grove- This house is seatei with new patent desks, a bounty fnl supply of coal has been bought and ready for use, and best of all, it is attended by a most enthusias tic set of pupils studying hard ami working energetically lo raise mon ey to paint their school building and simply mention ■ the above facts to encourage other teachers and neighborhoods. What has been done at Longview and Brad ley, can be done fti other places These people, (patrons of above, schools) are good citizens and be lieve in education, lint they simply needed somebody to take the lead and show an interest in their chil dren ami their school, besides drawing the monthly salary. It is fe to say that three fourths of t of interest in the schools in soine]porl ions*of the*eonutv is due directly to the teacher. But a teacher in charge of a school who is lazy and lo every thing hut pay day, you are going to have indifferent and careless patrons. These are. by no means, not the only places in the* county where good work is being done, in fact nearly every corner of the county hasearifeht the spirit of improve ment along educational lines, but 1 cannot mention all instances this week. 1 must, however, call attention before -losing to the Double Spring’s school. This was one of the first schools located under the public school system aome forty years ago, but a. few veart sin.-e, the jyUemjlanee hint fallen oil to a himl ■ xit 1 c vlo/.en., in different pupils. Under Mias Air* nie Nance the attendance and in terest have gradually grhvvn until now an assistant is required half the term; the school house com fortably seated, the grounds grad ed and planted in blue grass. The library spirit is also on tbe Boom throughout the county. The following schools have already put in Libraries this term ■ Btocls Mill, (making 2nd order) K'jtfec- Anils No. 1, Center Ijjrlge 'H or.*ts) mi.l Ijongview, with j - event! .Motors now engaged in i raising money fi.r libraries. ■i> ♦ <2.

The Home and Slate, Dallas, Texas, prints the following de spatch from Muskogee, Okla. ■ ‘‘Beginning today, officers will break the seals of ears in an inter state shipment whenever they have reason to snsneet liquor consigned to Oklahoma parties is contained in the ears,. This agreement was reached here today by W- .1 Crump prosecuting attorney of Muskogee county andC- J. Jackson, general counsel for Jthe Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad in Oklahoma. It comes as a result of a recent decision of Justice Brewer, of the Supreme Court of the United States that is to the effect that the interstate commerce law does not contemplate protecting shipments of liquor into prohibition states. “This is the biggest victory the enforcement officers have yet gain ed. It means that they will be able to shut off the vvhos'a’Ars who hitherto have been able to bring all the liquor, especially beer, they "iVnte.f to into the s,t,af6 and in 'r-M-1.-ad lots. ll Vtls agrePd to-day that when ever officers demand to search a ear the railroad agent*, will send a man to break the seals and assist in the search.” • The Home and State mates the following comment; 1 ’ ' * “The interstate commerce law has been a bulwark to the liquor interests and a Chinese puzzle to prohibitionists for many years.
