  • patronage Mr. Watson is receiving denotes, not only the confidence of the people in him as a teacher, but also a reviving interest in the cause of education. We hope this interest will continue to grow until an assistant teacher and the completion of the other room of the Academy shall be required." THE TUCKASEIGE DEMOCRAT, Wed., April 16, 1890 L. A. Luck and Son, Eds. and Proprietors Mr. Jos. H. House, having closed a very successful term of his school at John's Creek, came through town last week returning to his home at Quallatown. That his management of his patrons is attested by his having been re-elected principal for the ensuing term which will begin after a vacation of several weeks." Aug. 6, 1890 "Mr. and Mrs. Z. V. Watson have returned to Sylva after an absence of several weeks. Mrs. Watson has taken charge of our public school which began last Monday with a large attendance." From TUCKASEIGE DEMOCRAT, August 12, 1891 County Supt. House closed the Examination of Teachers last week and granted the following certificates: First Grade—G. N. Cowan and Miss Nannie Hughes. Second Grade—Misses Anilla Brown and Ida Smith, Beulah Smith, Mattie Bryson, Mattie Bennett, M. Etta Wilson, Victoria Queen, Anilla Parker, and Messrs. L. A. Wilson, Milas Parker, J. K. Lee, W. P. Henderson, J. H. Painter, Henry Robertson, L. C. Gribble and M. D. Cowan. THE TUCKASEIGE DEMOCRAT, Wed., Aug. 12, 1891 F. A.& Nellie P. Luck, Eds. & Props. LOCAL NEWS The increasing interest shown in public schools is encouraging. It is certainly the part of wisdom to use the funds collected for the purpose to the best possible advantage. We are sorry to find, however, that there is want of harmony between the people and the school committee men in some districts. As long as such a condition exists the schools will do no good. Mutual concessions ought to be made and everybody work in harmony for the general good. Lay aside personal feeling and do what you can to contribute to the good of others. If that spirit prevails there will soon be an end of dissension and the school interests will prosper. THE TUCKASEIGE DEMOCRAT, Wed., Aug. 17, 1892 F. A. & Nellie P. Luck, Eds. THE SCHOOL SEASON J. H. House is teaching at Dillsboro, John C. Bu chanan at Sylva, Mr. Garland of Macon at Bryson school house, Z. V. Watson at Clayton's near Addie, C. A. Wallace at Double Springs, on Cullowhee mountain, and G. N. Cowan at River Hill, while those two excellent institutions, Cullowhee and Hamburg High Schools are in full blast. C. C. Cowan was induced to accept a school on Pigeon River, in Haywood, while Thos. F. Long, who has been in Haywood for several years has returned to Jackson and is teaching at Wilmot. We would be glad to be advised as to who is teaching other schools in the county and wish for all of them the fullest measure of success. We hope a grand forward in the cause of education may be made this year. The public school fund for this year amounts to an apportionment of 90 cents per scholar, according to the school census returned by the district committees. We regret to hear of lack of harmony in some of the district committees, which works nothing but harm to the schools. Let the interests of the children outweigh every other consideration. THE TUCKASEIGE DEMOCRAT, Wed., Dec. 21, 1892 F. A. & Nellie P. Luck, Eds. & Props. THE SCHOOL HOUSE The school building here is private property, the seats only belonging to the school district. The owners of the building, the sons of Mr. D. J. Allen, determined some time ago to convert it into a dwelling, but since such intention was made known they have continued to allow the use of it for school and religious purposes. The house has now been closed for all such purposes and the change into a dwelling we suppose will soon be made. This necessitates the building of a school house and the immediate completion of the church, which is now being injured by neglect in its unfinished condition. Note "Building built for store, offered rent free as school in 1888. Approx. 40-50 pupils." Annie Louise Ried. THE TUCKASEIGE DEMOCRAT, Wed., Aug. 2, 1893 F. A. and Nellie Luck, Editors and Publishers LOCAL NEWS "A movement is now on foot to build a school house here. Through the liberality of General Hampton a good lot favorably located, has been secured and others of our citizens are showing a praiseworthy disposition to push forward the work. As the public school money for the district cannot be made available, for the lack of a house, it will be applied to the building. Whatever balance may be found necessary for its completion is expected to be supplied by the liberality and public 13 ./"
