But we will never accomplish anything unless we make up our minds to and never stop until we finish our ideas. We have been promised help to build a school here from gentlemen far off if we will do our share first. Jerome Phillips and Miss Marie Dillard. The enrollment has reached niney-four and we predict a very promising term of school." THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL, SYLVA June 18, 1909, F. E. Hearn, Editor "At last the new school house is started. Mr. Dick Hall is doing the work. We hope to have a fine school here in the near future. I think it would be a wise thing for the people of this district to vote a compulsory school law because some parents haven't the interest of their children and county at heart enough to send their children to school if they don't want to go. We have voted a special tax to help support the school, and now we ought to have our children attend, and get the benefit of our money. Of course a great many children do not like to go to school; especially is this true of the smaller children, and parents do not object to their staying out of school. Many a child has grown up in ignorance because its parents would not make it attend school. I have heard boys say, "Oh, yes, I see where I have missed it now after it is too late!" And matters will continue thus as long as we didn't have a school law. Let a child attend school regularly until it is fourteen years old and it will not want to quit school then, but will strive to get a good education. Let us hear from others on this matter." Correspondent JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL, June 25, 1909 ADDIE Prof. Madison, County Supt. Henson and W. 0. Buchanan were in Addie Saturday looking after the building of a school house. This district had voted a special tax and are looking forward to a graded school. Give the children an education and fit them for the future. JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL, SYLVA August 27, 1909, Jackson County Journal Comany ADDIE The new graded school building will soon be completed and school will begin by the first of September with two teachers: Miss Demeries Long, principal; Miss Gertrude Wilson will have charge of the primary department. JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL, SYLVA, N. C. August 27, 1909, Jackson County Journal Company WILLETTS "The Willetts Graded School is progressing nicely under the management of the efficient teachers, Mr. JACK COUNTY JOURNAL, April 1, 1910 Dr. Frank E. Hearn, Ed. and Business Mgr. WILLETS GRADED SCHOOL CLOSES . . . "A new chapter of history has been finished with closing of this school. Scott's Creek was formerly classed as one of the most backward in education of any of the townships in Jackson County, but I am glad to say, such is not the case today. The citizens of Scott's Creek saw they were going to be left in the rear of the mighty march of progress in N. C. today if they did not educate their sons and daughters. "A special tax for the lengthening of the school term and for getting more efficient teachers to instruct children of their district was voted in the spring of 1908. A very successful term of school was taught that year. In the early spring of 1909 a new school house was started and today Scott's Creek township has one of the nicest graded school buildings in the county. "School began with a large atendance the management of Prof. S. Jerome Phillips, as principal and Miss Marie Dillard, assistant. These two teachers have stood their post of duty for 8 months . . . and this first commencement is only the first of many . . ." Commencement consisted of address, sermon, speeches, exercises of primary department, box supper—$28 raised to buy bell, etc., for school. Dinner spread for everybody. JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL, April 15, 1910 The Sylva Graded School friends and Patrons: In order to erect a new school building it will be necessary for this school district to raise $2000.00. In order to get the building ready for the next term of school it will be necessary to start the work as soon as possible and we cannot go ahead until the subscriptions amount to the above sum. The amount subscribed will be payable one half July 1st; balance August 1st, 1910. ($900 and $50 already subscribed. Names of subscribers given in each weekly paper.) JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL, December 9, 1910 "The Sylva Graded School building is now completed, and the heating plant is now being installed. The auditorium is a large one, and the floor is so inclined that the big hats in front of you won't obstruct your view. The stage is 46 feet wide and 30 feet deep, larger 16
