SCHOOL^BRIEFS
What is Going 011 in Hereford's
Institution of Learning
£ EDITED BY MISS MAGGIE BURNS
You care for your horses,
You care for your dollars,
You care for your lodges,
You care your collars,
But little, we think,
You care for your scholars,
Because you don't visit the school.
Our school is progressing nicely.
Miss Tot Mercer visited us last
Friday.
We will be glad to have visitors
at any time.
We are sorry to have Clade With-
erspoon absent from school.
Miss Nettie Laughlin, who has re-
cently been on the sick list, is back
with us.
Miss Madeline Patton is teaching
an elocution class now. Everybody
join and be benefited thereby.
We organized our literary society
again last week Friday and hope
everyone will bring up their pieces.
No school was held Friday on ac-
count of the absence of the teachers,
who are attending the teachers' in-
stitute at Clarendon.
Mr. Overstreet will not accept the
principalship of the Hereford High
School for another year. He has
accepted a proposition to go into the
dry goods business at Duncan, I. T.
Mr. Unwise: Say, where do you
send your pupils to school, and what
room are they in? They are cer-
tainly learning fast. Mr. Wise : To
the only school on the plains—the
Hereford High School.
We are thinking of having a
school picnic at the close of the
school. Will you try to make it a
complete success, or will you be
pessimistic and refuse to have any-
thing to do with it? Everybody
should attend and carry well-filled
baskets.
No one denies the fact that the
Hereford school ranks second to
none in West Texas. It is to be
hoped that it will prosper under the
future management as it has for the
past two years. Have you co-
operated with the teachers? If
not, why not ? The school has done
more for the town than any other
one enterprise in the town.
