Hale County School Notes
|
|
During New Year's week the writer had the opportunity of visiting the schools of Hale Center and Plainview.
|
|
At Hale Center we found Mr. B. D. Woodlee, principal; Miss
Julia Price, first assistant, and Miss Virgie Frye in charge of the primary department, all very busy at work.
|
|
The primary pupils under Miss Frye were as busy as bees; the intermediate grades under the management of
Miss Price were equally busy, and the advanced grades under the instruction of
Mr. Woodlee are as fine a lot of students as it has ever been our privilege to see.
|
|
At Plainview the following teachers were at work with no less enthusiasm than those of Hale Center: Mr.
S. W. Meharg, principal;
Miss Lula Pitts, first assistant; Miss Alice Beasley, second assistant, and Miss
May McClellan, primary department.
|
|
Plainview now has the best school it has ever had, so say the patrons and pupils. They have incorporated for school purposes, voted bonds, and now have the foundation laid for anew and commodious school building that will be second to none in the Western part of Texas.
|
|
Keep your eye on the "Llano Estacado;" she's coming to the front, educationally and otherwise.

The Bulcher school, under the management of J. C. Cox and Miss Dora
Short, is progressing nicely with good attendance. The little folks think Miss Dora the grandest teacher they ever had.
