the following schools: Broadway
school, taught by Miss Allie K. Major.
We will long remember with pleasure
the day we spent in this school. Mostof
tie pupils, faces looked familiar. We
know their parents, and remember the
many pleasant occasions we have spent
with them. We feel q deep interest in
the education of their children, as We do
in all children. The teacher is one that
is,rightly and Justly appreciated by her
patrons and pupils. She is doing q noble
work. The children are'thoughtfal and
earnest, and evince desire for knowl.
edge.
Mountain Creek school, in which Miss
Zelta Campbell preaides with so much
ease, dignity and ability, is in good COM
dition. She il real teacher, and enters
into her work with energy and enthusi-
asm. Her school is making genuine pro-
gress. Her pupils show their apprecia-
ton of their teacher by having we'll pre-.
pared lessons. Wetlike to. find school
as We found Mountain Creek-at work.
Long Branch school is pretty we'll at"
tended Miss Bette Earle is the teacher.
We found her working away, and the
children with good lessons. We like her
method OF reaching spelling. On the
black board the pupil writes the word
and explains its use or meaning. She
seems to have caught the idea that we
should first be able to pronounce word,
then know its meaning, and then know
how to spell it. Miss Bette has had
years of experience as teacher, and has
always given satisfaction.
At Bethany school they still retain
Mr.. L. M. Mshaffsy, who is one among
the very best teachers in the County.
We have usyer seen teacher with more
energy ia the school room. He has o
very interesting school, and so far as we
could hesr, is giving entire satisfaction.
We next visited Miss Roaa Tribble's
school at Barker's Creek. She has the
good will of her patrons, who are salts
fed with her work. She is earnest and
patient and painstakiug, and the chill
dren all like Miss Rosa. We saw in this
school the need of reading chart, and
the house is not as comfortable as we
would like to see it. Her work is thor
ough.
At Bonea Path We were welcomed by
Prof. J. B. Watkins, man who is so
we'll and favorably known as teacher,
that his school is fast becoming famous
for the many teachers and efficient young
men and women sent out from it. The
enrolment in this school is away above
q hundred, and the average attendance
is nearer the enrolment than is usual.
Prof. Watkins has three assistants. be-
sides a music teacher. These assistants
are Misses Fannie and Sallie Watkins
and Miss Lou MCGEE. This is model
school in every respect. It has manly
sat of young men in attendance, and as
to the young ladies, or girls, I'D rather
say they sre not to be surpassed. We
wish there were many more schools like
this one.
Mr.. G. E. Burts' school at Brosdmoutt
is one in which ne found a real practical

man of promise, and has the hearty sup,
port of his patrons. His classes had vel
prepared lessons.
At Saluda we found Mr.. L. Y. Moore
teacher prepared for the work by Prof
Watkins, at Honea Path. Mr.. Moore j

He is doing very good work. His ide
