PAT 'EM ON THE BACK.

l feel inclined, Mr.. Editor, to pat the Del
gar Reel Squad on The back. That was fine
victory they won in Charleston but not so
6ne as the last mastery they gained in being
able to treat with q silence that borders upon
contempt the banter of the FloreHce men,
who are seeking to dishonor the manly con-
test by reducing it to gambling game. To
fly up in sort of spiteiul way, after honest
defeat, is common practice with some peo-
pie but cannot see how this atones for the
defeat when banter is added concerning the
giving and taking of money Gambling is
wrong and indecent, and great threat in
the papers does not rob it of It's viclousness.
ana glad that the Sumter boys have had the
good sense and manhood to say nothing.
Silence is sometimes the best answer.

The Graded School has larger attendance
this year than at any time since the graded
school system was established, and as con-
sequence the present corps of teachers IS un-
able to cope with the situation and maintain
the high degree of efficiency required by
Superintendent Edmunds On the recommen-
daton of Superintendent Edmunds the Board
of Commissioners has decided to elect another
teacher. This Will give ore teachers
10 the Washington Street school in ad-
dition TO the superintendent himself, who
has charge Of the tenth grade. The schools
are 10 fourishing condition aud in both the
white and colored schools the average attend
ance is decidedly larger than at any time
heretofore Another fact 10 connection With
the school should be source Of the greatest
satisfaction to every patron OF the school and
that is the higher standard of scholarship that
is now required. The standard of the school
has been raised Systematically during the
last and present session, aod the pres
ent ninth grade will complete part Ct
the course that was in the course Of
study previously required of the tenth grade.
Within another year the standard OF the
entire school will have beeo so raised that the
graduating class will complete a course
of study that is the equivalent Of another
years work The election of an additiouvl
teacher is wise step, as it will result in the
greatest possible benefit to the entire school,
for it will give the teachers of several grades
more time 10 devote to the grades which they
have in charge and will conduce to greater
lhoroughness.
