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 phis, and Mr. Lyle Stafford, of Winona, were in the city Tuesday 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.
