MEANDERINGs.

We have visited the schools in Rock
Mills and Hopewell Townships. Ridge
Spring school is taught by Miss Lizzie
Shirley, who is doing some good work.
am glad to hear that her school house
has boon repaired. Since my visit MI.
@. M. Barrett, who is in charge of Will.
ford's Store school, has good house,
with very interesting set of pupils.
Miss Eddie L. Davis is doing very
thorough work, but she could do more of
it if her patrons would make her school
house comfortable, and supply it with
good black boards, &c. I notice from
the books and reports of Teachers in
Rock Mills that the attendance of the
pupils is very irregular, and I would
direct the attention of tho parents to that
fact. This should not be the case. The
children should be required to attend
regularly, and thus increase the average
attendance in your District, and to that
extent increase the amount of money you
receive from the two mill tax. 1t would
also add to the progress of your children.
Think of this and make your attendance
as large as you can.
In Hopowell I find the schools yery
full. Miss Nettie Hall, who is the
teacher at Cross Roads school house, has
very large school, and is doing work
that deserves appreciation. Miss Lottie
Crosby, at Eopewell school house, has as
many pupils as one teacher can manage
we'll. She is very much liked by her
patrons, and is worthy Of their good will.
Miss Leila Russell's school house, at Mid.
way, has all it can accommodate. She i5
assisted by Miss May Neal. Her school
house is the best equipped of any house
I have entered outside OF the city. She
is an excellent teacher, and is doing a
good work that will tell for good. Miss
Leila Browne is at Trinity school. Her
school, while not as full as the others,
has as many as one teacher can do JUS
tice to. Miss Leila is doing some as
good work as can BIZ found snywhere.
The Anderson Female College, under
the efficient management Of Misses Mag.
gle Eyaus, Varina D. Brown, Lucille
Nardin and Miss Lois Watson, is doing
work the result of which will compare
favorably with the best Colleges in this
country. The discipline is very fine,
indeed their pupils seem too busy to find
time for anything excert the preparation
and recitations of their lessons.
The Home School, in this city, with
Miss Lenora G. Hubbard as Principal,
and Misses Gussie Hubbard, Geua Ben.
son, Minnie Gadsden aud Minnie Wilson
as assistants, is an educational institu-
ticn of which auy community might
justly be proud. It is almost thor
oughIy graded school. The recitation
rooms in this school are busy scenes from
o'clock q. M. to 2 p. IN. There are
many things I would like to sag of the
p,cthods adopted in this school, but my
limited space will not perrait. However,
I will say that the different branches are
taught with such correctness aud thor.
oughness that it is impossible for pupil
to fail to get clear idea of the lessons
studied.
The colored school known as Tsylor's
school, in Ceuterville, is crammed full,
one hundred and twenty.four being the
number enrolled. L. A. jenkins is the
principal, assisted By Z. ]. Thayre.
They are doing IS we'll as could be OK.
pected under all The circumstances.
The writer has enjoyed his visits to
the echools very much, and is very much
pleased with The earnest, faithful work
that is beiug done.
