Opening of Oil Trough
Consolidated School
Citizens South of White River Have Taken Important Step
In Constructive Educational Program of County
and Provided Modern School Facilities
Monday morning, October
24th, marked the opening of
the first rural consolidated
school In Independence coun
ty. The children from these
school districts were brought
together in one nicely built,
modern central school build
ing located at Oil Trough. The
citizens of the consolidated
districts have erected a beau
tiful high school buiidlng for
the convenience and better
welfare of their individual
community. The building is
attractive and reflects credit
on the good people who assist
ed in any way in its erection.
About eight o’clock, the chil
dren began to assemble at the
school building, some were
walking, some some riding,
and a number were transport
ed in a neat, well arranged
wagon which will be used for
that purpose. The bell rang
for books and all were as
sembled for the opening exer
cises.
Mr. Hill, principal of the
school, invited Rev. Weaver to
conduct the devotional servic
es, after which Rev. A. F.
Cagle, pastor of the First Bap
tist Church at Batesville gave
an interesting talk along the;
line of morals, and the oppor
tunity we have today to do
good. His talk was enjoyed
and appreciated.
Following Mr, Cagle W. T.
Jernigan, the county superin
tendent of schools, extended
congratulations to the school
for the forward step they had
taken in providing a high
school for the children in that
community and any other as
well. He placed great stress
upon the quality of work done
in the school; incouraging in
tensive work rather than ex
tensive.
M. M. Rutherford, W. A.
Mayhue, and E. R. Moqre all
members of the County Board
of Education were present.
Mr. Rutherford spoke of the
possibilities of a greater agri
cultural awakening, empha
sizing the importance of agri
culture as related to school
work. It is the desire to stress
agriculture, and a Smith
Hughes man probably will be
employed by January 1.
Mr. Mayhue, who is a resi
dent of the consolidated dis
trict and who was instrumen
tal in bringing about the
school, made a strong appeal
to the people for co-operation,
feeling confident that their
plans for a successful term of
school was sure, trusting abso
lutely in the ability of the
teachers in charge for efficient
work.
Dr. Lawrence, the County
Health Officer, and Miss Crow
the County Health Nurse, both
made interesting and helpful
talks along the line of habits
pertaining to health. Stress
ing the importance of a clean
sanitary building and grounds.
Both are doing some excellent
►
work in the schools by stress
ing the laws of health.
Mr. Lewis, teacher in Ark
ansas College, brought out the
fact that nothing was accom
plished without effort, and
that through directed measur
es was the surest means of
success.
A large sumber of patrons
and citizens were present, all
feeling proud of the occasion,
and wishing for the school a
most marvelous success.
The occasion should be in
spirational to the teachers in
charge, and we hope that the
school may grow from year
to year.
J. H. Hill is principal of the
high school and will have
charge of the advanced work.
H. J. Harris will teach the in
termediate department, and
Miss Myrtle Trotter the pri
mary department.
Some work will be done in
the teaching of domestic
science. A room has been
prepared and equipped for
that purpose, and it is their in
tention to carry this work
along with their literary
course.
BOOST!
Boost and the world boosts
with you,
Knock and you’re on the
shelf,
For the booster gets sick of
the man who kicks
And wishes he’d kick him
self.
Boost when the sun is shining,
Boost when it starts to rain,
If you happen to fall, don’t lie
there and bawl,
But get up and boost again.

BURGLARS DON’T SEEK
THE LIMELIGHT
ft
D
ARKNESS is their stock in trade.
They work by stealth—unheard and unseen—
their movements cloaked in secrecy. It’s hon
est folks that seek the light. They are the
only ones who can risk it.
It’s the same way in business. The mer
chant who is not sure of his goods does not
dare to advertise. Advertising would hasten
the end of his business career—put him to a
test he could not meet.
The merchant who advertises, deliberately
invites your inspection. He tells you about his
product and then lets it stand on its own
merits. YOU CAN DEPEND ON HIM. HE
KNOWS HIS PRODUCT IS GOOD.
That’s one reason why it pays you to read
the advertisements. It is through advertising
that you are able to keep in touch with the
good things that progressive business men are
handling for your benefit and convenience.
Advertisements throw a powerful light
on the very things that concern you most.
