The State Teachers Institute, recently
held in Greenville, judging from all we
can hear of il, was success. We are
sorry it was out of our power to attend
it. We are sorry that only one of Ander.
son County's teachers did attend. Mr.. J..
B. Watkins, of the Honea Path High
School, was there, but, so far as We can
learn, he was the only one out of the
large number of teachers in the County.
Mr.. Watkins was, before he went, one of
the foremost teachers of the County, and
we take the liberty of expressing the
hope that he will, through the columns
of the Plaindeahr and the Teachers
Column of the INTELl1eENcER, give
his fellow. teachers the benefit Of, at least,
some of the idess he got there and some
of the inspiration he caught from his
surroundings. AS matter of business,
we do not hesitate to express the opinion
that the State could very we'll afford to
dispense with the State Institute. We
have seen no official announcement, but
we take it that very few, if any, more
than two hundred teachers enrolled du-
ring the whole time the Institute was in
session. There are in the State thirty
four counties. During the last few
months, several Of those counties held
County Institutes, in which regular State
Institute work was done, though on q
smaller scale. At our own. County Insti;
tute, we enrolled seventy.one teachers.
The average attendance upon the County
Institutes held during the Summer will
reach fifty or more. Now, with an aver.
age attendance of fifty teachers to the
county, and with thirty.four counties in
| the State, Institute work can be carried
to seventeen hundred teachers. Let the
Legislature divide the three thousand
dollars appropriated for the maintenance
of the State Institute among the counties
and require every county to hold a
Teachers Institute-how much greater
would be the good to the State than is
possible to be derived from holding one
single Institute in the extreme northern
or southern portion of the State, or even
in go central place az Columbia Again,
those teachers who were so fortunate as
to attend the State Institute do not con.
stitute that class of teachers most in need
of such help. Leaving out the teachers
of the county in which the Institute is
held, three-fourths of the others present
are from the High Schools and Acade-
mics. Trno, none can get 80 far. or climb
so high, up the hill of knowledge that
eliminates in the ability to teach scien'
tifcally, as to need no more instruction,
no more light. still as We take it, the

After few more months, We will have
had two full years. experience in the
perplexities and anxieties of a School
Commissioners life. In the rural dis
tricts of Carolina, the earnest Commits
sioner, as is the case with the earnest
teacher, need not expect to find it all
plain sailing. In the outset, We caught
a glimpse of the difficulties that sur.
rounded us and the rocks and quicksands
that lay ahead of us. At all times and
under all circumstances, we have pad
died our own canoe, and we take the re.
suit of the election on Aug. 26th as an
endorsement by the people of Anderson
County of our plans and methods of pro-
cedure. We take this method of thank
ing the voters for their kindly consider.
alton, and herewith pledge ourselves to a
faithful prosecution Of the plans already
laid down and close following of the
lines marked out.
In the beginning of our administra-
ton, throughout which the bitter and
the sweet have been delicately commin-
gled, we fancied we saw as the crying
need of the public schools of the County
more efficient class Of teachers. Our en-.
ergies have been given to supplying this
unmistakable demand. We think we
can assert without the slightest fear of
successful contradiction, that we have in
Anderson, County to-day q better class of
teachers than has been known in the
County since the Inauguration of the
present public school system. But the
work is yet barely begun. Our teachers
are now, some of them, just beginning
to shake themselves, rub their eyes, and
look out over vast expanse of glorious
attainments that await but an earnest,
manly effort. We have succeeded in
pryiug out some wheels from long.fol.
lowed and well.worn ruts; let the peo-
pie hold up our hands, and others shall
be shaken, if anything short of an earth
quake can do it. Our plans have not
suited the tastes of many good citizens in
Anderson County. OF this we are sorry,
but, be understood, we have no apology
IN make We have pone STRAIGHT forward
in the line of duty as we saw it; in other
words, we have tried to hew to the line,
regardless of where the chips might fall.
So long,as we are allowed to hold the
Office of School Commissioners, we pro-
pose to keep up the fight, and when we
lay down our arms we can do it with the
consciousness of having made an honest
effort to benefit the children entrusted to
our care.

NEWSPAPERS.
Anderson boasts two first class weekly
journals: The INTELL1aENCER, edited
by E. B. Murray, was established in 1860,
and shows bona fde circulation of
1000. 1t is ably conducted, and is a
potent factor for good to the community.
The Journal, under the editorial control
of A. S. Todd, is published at the excep-
tional low price Of 81 per annum, aud is
a great favorite. Both papers richly
deserve generous support. Their re-
spective descriptions Of the recent great
banquet in honor of the completion OF
the Savannah Valley Railroad were
graphic and exhaustive. They have
been already read and enjoyed, and we
do not therefore reproduce them. Your
correspondent would gratefully acknowl-
edge the pleasant courtesies received
from all the members of the Anderson

HOTELS. :
There are three hotels in Anderson, but
they are not adequate to supply the wants
of that rising young city. They need a
mammoth edifce, with at least two hun.
dred rooms to fill the prospective influx
of low country people in quest of health
and pleasure in the Summer months.
And the enterprising citizens realize that
fact and are beginning to cast about for
the ways and means to erect such struc-
ture. 1t will come in time.
