  • spiritedness of the citizens of the school district. Quite a large number of children are deprived of the opportunity for securing an education, and are wasting the golden hours which ought to be thus employed because we have no house. It is hoped that our people will wake up to the importance of this matter and proceed at once to the discharge of the debt we owe our children. No higher duty devolves upon a citizen than that of applying his best efforts in the aid of public education. The difficulties in the way of securing for the children for this district the advantage of their share of the public school funds are not insurmountable, but may be overcome by earnest and determined effort. Let us take hold of the matter with a will and push it forward to completion." THE TUCKASEIGE DEMOCRAT, July 5, 1893 F. A. and Nellie O. Lucks, Editors and Publishers LOCAL NEWS Professor R. L. Madison of Cullowhee High School has been elected President of the Western North Carolina Teachers Association. house last Saturday evening. Miss Tiney Dills, of Sylva, was up and in the game. She then went home with her cousins, Misses Ella and Hattie Frizell, and stayed till Sunday afternoon Tar Heel THE SYLVA SENTINEL, Nov. 5, 1897 F. A. Luck, Sr., & E. R. Hampton, Publishers THE GLENVILLE SCHOOL "The public school at Glenville appears to be in a very flourishing condition. The number of pupils is so large as to necessitate the employment of two teachers and two zealous and earnest young gentlemen, Messrs. Slagle of Macon County and Pless, of Haywood, are in charge. At a public entertainment given recently for the purpose of raising a small sum with which to make some needed repairs about the school building, the proceeds amounted to more than $65. The length of the public term will be a little more than four months and it is possible that the school may be continued as a subscription school." THE TUCKASEIGE DEMOCRAT, Wed., July 26, 1893 PUBLIC SPEAKING "We are glad to be able to announce that State Supt. of Public Instruction, J. C. Scarborough, and Professor Chas. D. Mclver, Pres. of the State Normal and Industrial School at Greensboro, will address the people of Jackson County at Webster on Saturday, July 29, and at Dillsboro on the evening of the same day on the subject of education. These are two of North Carolina's most distinguished educators and it is hoped that the people of Jackson will show their interest in the cause and their appreciation of an opportunity for enjoying pleasant and profitable entertainment by giving them large audiences at both appointments. The subject is a vital one and these gentlemen are eminently capable of handling it in a thoroughly practical and interesting manner." JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL WEBSTER Friday, August 31, 1906 BETA LOCALS . . . Our school is doing well, very good attendance, with Miss Bertha Henson teacher. Miss Henson is teaching in the same house (it having been remodeled) that her grandfather, A. J. Long, Sr., taught about thirty years ago. Hope Miss Bertha will succeed as well as her grandfather did. Well' this takes us back to our boyhood days and it does us good to think over our school days. Mr. Long gave this writer the last licking he ever got in school, and will say not one whit more than he deserved. Ah, yes! and how the granddaughter can lay it onto my boys. It is high time that we bestir ourselves and try to give our children the best education possible according to our means and ability. Society demands it, humanity demands it and the times in general demands it." TUCKASEIGEE DEMOCRAT, Wed., Aug. 16, 1893 Edited and published by F. A. and Nellie P. Luck HAPPY VALLEY "Dear Democrat: We were at the school house Monday morning, the 7th August, and saw Prof. House open his school, which was a fine start for a school in the country. It opened with about 75 scholars, and nearly all the parents were present also. Let it move on smoothly and full—let us have no "lagging" out . . . "The youngest had a game of croquet at the school JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL SYLVA August 7, 1908, W. E. Gaillard, Editor NEW SCHOOL AT BETA "The handsome school building at Beta had been completed and school opened there on Monday. Mr. Henry 0. Curtis of this place was the contractor and he and his men should be proud of the work they have done. The friends of the school are to be congratulated upon their liberality. The burden is resting on a few as it always does but this few will never regret the fact 14
