Cashion School Notes
We were informed Friday
morning that the County Track
Meet would be postponed again
on account of the heavy rains of
Thursday and Friday nigh*, but
that the literary parts of the pro
gram would be carried out; hence
it turned out that Velma Mcln
tire was the only "representative
from Cashion school, who was
present. Velma with only two
days pradtice on the piece which
each contestant was required to
play, played well and was highly
commended. She was the only
6th grade pupil in the contest the
others being in the 8th grade.
Some parents yielding to the
requests of their children to quit
school before the term is out
probably do not realize what an
injury tuey do to the child. Child
ren quilling before the term is
out cannot be promoted This
means that they will have to spend
from three to six months making
up the work which they might
have completed by staying in
school until the term is finished.
The mothers' club meets Friday
afternoon at the school house.
The paper for the meeting will
give a scientific discussion of De
fe6live and Precocious Children.
When statistics show that on.j
child in every five is defective, it
seems that all mothers in this
community would take advantage
of this opportunity to learn some
thing about their own children or
how to lend assistance in correct-
ing the defects in children of the
community. *
The Literary society of the
High school will have a change
of program for the rest of the
term. Debates, readings, etc ,
will give place to the discussion
of current events and instances
taken from Modern History which
show the causes of the present
war in Europe and the probable
results.
A large number of Cashion pu
pils took the 8th grade examinat-
ion last week and are anxiously
awaiting results. All are hoping
to pass some are confident that
they did pass.
