since our last issue.
Mike Pendergist, Augusta, and
Prof. E. L. Hayes, McCrory, Ark.
McCRORY SCHOOL OPENINd
Our school opened Monday un
der the most favorable auspices.
Five of the six directors, Clayton
Hailey, W. B. Kyle,S. F. Watson,
E. T. Wherry and F. Lewis, and a
large number of visitors were
present. The number of pupils in
attendance was 115, as large as
could be expected, and is increas
ing every day. Already several
from other towns and from differ
ent parts of the county have en
rolled their names and joined the
happy band of knowledge-seekers,
and still others have signified their
intention of doing so in the near
future. The students, individual
ly and collectively, speak in high
est terms of Prof. Hayes and his
methods of teaching, and this
a'one is one great step forward to
have so soon gained the good will
and affection of those over whose
future lives and destinies he will
nwield such a power. Prof. Hayes
comes highly recommended as an
edueator and instructor from the
leading educational men of his na
tive state, Alabama. For nine
years he was connected with the
Faulkville Normal College of
Faulkville, Ala., during which
time he was vice president and
president of that institution. No
better recommendations were ever
given any persop thau those of the
above gentleman,.
The school was opened with a
song—Blessed Assurance^, by the
entire,school, Miss Faucette presid
ing at the piano, in the large chap
el which has just been fitted with
almost two hundred large, new
seats. County Examiner- A, L.
Hutchins, of Augusta, was present
and read a short chapter from the
Bible, after which a prayer was

I said by Rev. A. C. Cloyes.
Another song was sung following
which addresses were made by Di
rector Clayton Hailey, Rev. A. C.
Cloyes, County Examiner A. L.
Hutchins and Principal E. L.
Hayes. Mr. Hailey made a very
pleasant talk in behalf of the di
rectors. Mr. Hutchins, in his ad
dress which next followed, praised
our school very highly, saying that
we possessed the best school and
school building of any in the
county, and one of the best in East
ern Arkansas. Prof. Hayes spoke
of matters concerning the school
child and his hearers were almost
compelled, and did, “laugh up
their sleeves” when the speaker
made the following assertion : “A
j teacher does not have to go home
i with a pupil to fiud out the kind of

parents it has.” He spoke in high
terms of the soldiery and his great
est admiration of same was that
the first lesson taught a soldier is
to obey orders, and if you send
yoilr child to him he will certainly
be required to obey the orders of
the school. This, we highly com
mend of him.
Miss Clementine Brewer, who
has charge of the primary depart
ment, Mrs. W. G. Dilliard,
of the 5th. and 6th. grades, and
Miss Kathryne Faucette, of the
music department, are with the
school for a second term. They
are so well known and beloved by
the patrons, that all that can be
said in their behalf is, that patrons
may rest assured of-the same satis
faction of last year’s- school will
be rendered by them during the
present term. Aether teacher
has been added to the number this
year, that of Mrs. Hayes; ’wife'-of
the principal. She, too, is being
highly praised by the children and
a successful years work from her
room is an assured fact.
The able board *of managers
have set the wheel in motion and
l is now left with our citizens 'as
to whether it shall continue to
move and become a very impor
tant factor for good in this com
munity. We think the people will
see this in its true light and rally
to its support, and soon our town
can boast of a school second to
none in the state.
The last Napoleon lest Sedan,
and died in exile, because he went
to fight before he was ready.
How many young men and wo
men, when the battle of life is on,
will fall because they were not
prepared for the contest? It is
education alone which enables us
to Tight from vantage ground.
They who do not have it will not
be able to stand when the heavy
charges are made on them. Suc
cess must be won, and how can it
be done without a drilled mind,
like a skillfull general, to lead the
assault? Do not accept ignorance
or partial preparation as your lot,
if by any means you can escape it.
It is not by jerks that the load is
moved. It is the steady pull that
counts. Spasmodic getting ready
usually ends in no preparation at
all and consequent failure. The
student who comes to school regu
larly, and adds to each day’s ac
quisition a little more knowledge
is growing, is laying by a sinking
fund upon which he can draw in
the future, and above all, he is
gaining mental muscle to enable
him to combat the difficulties of
his later life. Education is a
growth. If it be sudden, like that
of the mushroom, it will amount
to as little, if it be like that of the
oak, it will be permanent and use
ful. Now this week, and not next,
is the time to start your child to
school which has just begun. Don’t
put it off longer for each day lost
means a harder pull-back to the
child and as Gascoigne has said,
“A boy is better unborn than un
taught.
Our school has opened its door
to you. A good start is a battle
half won. The busy season, har
vest feasts, reunions and fairs are
past. The golden opportunity
meets you at a most opportune
time. You have had a rest from
your labors and been refreshed by
pleasant associations, and now
feel ready for duty. You are im
pressed that life requires a fitness
to get the most out of it, and your
aspirations lead you in seeking for
that which will mete out to you a
full recompense of reward for en
deavors put forth. Our schools
have wisely and carefully consid
ered you and your desires and
have made special provisions to
meet these demands, and cordially
invite you thither. You will find
here good society, pleasant as
sociations, and a most hospitable
people. Come and see us, learn
our school advantages and know
they are not excelled by any town
of its size in the state.
