Public School Opening.
Last Monday when the Water
Valley Public School opened, al
though we had been used to the
sight before, we couldn’t help but
be amazed. It was children and
children, and children, it looked to
us, for miles and miles. They just
kept coming from east and west
and north and south, and—and—
up and down.
We’ve got a powerful big school
building, but we couldn’t decide
where they are going to put them,
but we are certain they got them
housed, for they all disappeared
somewhere, and the superintend
ent and teachers must have got
hold of th ft Ml
The first day something like
six hundred and fifty presented
themselves as candidates at the ed
ucational altar, and they were met
on the half-way ground by good
teachers ready to welcome them
into the fold of mind develop
ment.
Now, just think of the resbonsi
bility of the teacher! Something
like seven hundred boys and girls
to look after. Not only their minds
are to be educated, but their hearts
are to be cultivated and trained
that they may make good men and
good women for the responsibili
ties of the future.
It seems we never saw so many
pretty children in all our life, and
they fooked like they ought to be
the best children in the world.
The school starts off under the
most encouraging auspices—a ca
pable and hard-working superin
tendent, assisted by a splendid
corps of teachers. With the prop
er support from the patrons we
can have the best school in the
State of Mississippi. Let’s give
our heart and hand in helping
those who have this great work in
hand. The patron can help as
well as the teacher. Let's put our
enthusiasm into the work and
watch the boys and girls grow into
strong men and women. We re
peat, the patron can help as well
as the teacher. This should be the
school’s most successful year.
1 ou miners auu muiueia wnui
to see your sons and daughters
grow up into strong manhood
and womanhood. You can’t see
this if you cater to their whims.
May the work of the public
school go on to perfection.
Mr. Will Landers, of Clark3
dale, Mrs. Charles Carr, of Coa
homa, Mrs. Lizzie Holt, of Gre
nada, Mr. A. H. Landers, of Mem

to attend the funeral of their
mother, Mrs. N. J, Landers.
Editor City Itemizer:
Please say to the public through
the columns of your valuable pa
per, that next Sunday, September
18th, is “Rally Day’, of the First
Methodist church.
We expect to make that day a
great praise and rally day, at
which time we desire to have a re
union of all the pupils of the Sun
day School.
We expect every member of the
church in the city to come next
Sunday morning at 9:45 o’clock.
Expect all friends of the church to
come; and all who desire to be in
attendance upon a live Sunday
School, which is actually doing the
the work of studying God’s word,
are cordially invited to come, eith
er as visitors or to be enrolled as
pupils.
You may say, also, that the rJa
raca class will take advantage of
this occasion to initiate their great
movement looking to the creation
of a library for the young men of
Water Valley, and for aught we
know, it may mean the establish
ment of a Carnegie library and
reading room in the city of Water
Valley,
I ask all teachers to meet at the
church promply at 4 o’clock Sat
urday afternoon.
Remember Sunday, September
18th, Rally Day at the First Meth
odist church.
Yours truly,
Jas. G. McGowen,
Superintendent.
