We publieh the answers 10 our "Capi.
tol Puzzle" with the names of the chill.
dren who sent us answers. One of th'
names comes from Greenville County
We appreciate this hearty response.
We have enjoyed so much our visits
to the schools. 1t is such pleasure tt
see the teachers earnestly at work, ane
in so many instances the children eagel
to learn. Ehe pupils seem to be inter
ested in their studies, and mutual love
exists between teachers aud pupils
This speaks for good results.
Mrs. L. NJ. Nance has charge of the
school at the Anderson Cotton Mills
She is good teacher of long experience
She is doing very good work, considering
the very irregular attendance of the pu-
pills. The parents, although they have
no tuition fees to pay, do not make their
children attend regularly. This causes 8
loss to the mills, for if the children at
tended regularly Mrs. Nance would get
more from the public funds, and conse-
quently the mill would not have to pay
her quite so much, for every day a child
stays at home it costs the mills five cents.
because Mrs. Nance gets that sum for
each days actual attendance from the
public funds during the public term, and
whatever she lacks of getting her salary
from the public is paid out of the treas.
ury of the Anderson Cotton Mills. But
this is the last thing to be considered.
The children, while bright and quick,
land some of them we'll advanced) need
education. We feel a deep interest in
the children of the poorer people, for
they need most the fostering care of the
public schools. Among them are many
bright minds that only need development.
We recently spent day i'll the P. M.
I. Here ne found COL John 3. Patrick,
Capt. John Nj. Patrick, Lieuts. Donald
SOD, Gary and Miller, all at work with
most inviting fields of labor. They enter
into their work with vim and determi-
nation to give the very best results pos
sible. They are thoroughly competent,
and always enter the recitation room
with preparation. If the cadets do not
make rapid and real progress, it is sim
ply because they wiH not. How We do
wish all young people, aud especially
school children, would fully realize and
appreciate and appropriate the golden
opportunities of their echool days. The
course of study 10 the P. NJ. L. is COM
prehensive, including all the English
branches with the languages, and a"com-
plete course in mathematics, including
bookkeeping and aurveyiug. We were
most favorabIy impressed with the disci-
pline of this school, which is military.
One cannot fail to see the advantages of
the military feature One especially
good feature is, that the cadets must pay
attention to their own commanders while
in ranks, disregarding everything else.
It teaches them to be prompt and ODE
dient to the commands Of superiors, and
quick in the execution of orders. The
cadets sre a high toned, manly set of
young men, in whom we have great hope,
and from whom We shall expect valient
services, when the ship of State falls
into the hands of our young men. We
feel peculiar interest in the young peo.
Pile of to day, for our grand old State in
the next generation will be what they
make it. Young men, prepare yourselves
for great and good work. Grand OPP
portunities lie before you. The P. NJ. I.
is an institution of which We cannot fud
words to speak too favorably.
