UNIFORM TEXTBOOKS.

One of the most noticeable of these
difficulties, perhaps, was the adoption
of new textbooks in the schools. |
found in my efforts to enforce the law
respecting the "New Adoption" that
in many of the schools there were pa
irons who felt financially indisposed to
comply with such wholesale change
OF books. AS result the enrolment
throughout the county was greatly di-
minished. This difficulty, however,
has been met successfully, and | am
glad to say that every school in the
county has fallenin the line of advance
ment and is now using uniform set of
books.

NEED OF COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

There is one more very important
feature / should like to include in this
report, and that is the irregularity on
the part of parents in sending their
children to school. Although the plan
of our educational system is by no
means an ideal one, it does seem that
parents might make the proper use of
what opportunities are afforded them
under the present system, and send
their children to school as regularly as
possible. | am convinced that if pa
rents are under obligations to their
children in one respect, they are so in
all respects. Since the Ruling Power
of the Universe has blessed man with
Children, He did it that they might be
brought up in such way as to be most
useful to their country, and glorify
Him. TO this end it is necessary for
our children to be educated, and, as
the head of education in Newberry
County, hope to see some kind of law
enacted that will require parents to
send their children to school.

TEACHERS IMPROVED.

AEASHERo lHltRoFED.
l am gratified to note that in the last
two years the teachers have attained a
marked degree Of efficiency, and, as a
whole, have done very faithful, efficient
and most satisfactory work 1t is evil
dent, however, that in order to secure
the services of the most competent and
expert teachers there must be an in
crease of salary, such as will warrant
the employment of such teachers.
am glad to state that the salaries for
teachers in Newberry County for the
past two years have increased some
what, and there are now few teachers
in the county who receive less than
thirty dollars per month for term of
six to nine months.
CERTIFICATING TEACHERS.
In pursuance of my desires to raise
the standard of education and secure a
more thorough and efficient corps of
teachers, it has been my aim and pur-
pose always to be very careful as to the
grading of examination papers and thus
certificates except those who are Justly
entitled to and worthy of the same.
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
We have Teachers Association
hat meets the second Saturday in
every month. BY this means of bring
ing the teachers in contact with one an
other much good has been accomplished
in the way of educational progress.
Our association is meeting with marked
success, and feel proud of the fact
that | have conducted so successfully
such an important organization in my
county. l think, to promote the cause
of education, every county in South
Carolina should have some kind of
teachers association.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
AS whole, the school houses are
good, and l think will compare with
those of any Of the counties of the
State. Many of them are new and
we'll equipped with modern improve
ments in the way of patent desks and
a few old school houses in the county
that l hope very soon to have removed
and have erected in their stead more
modern and up-to-date buildings. In
this connection, however, it is pleasant
for me to note that in the town of Pros
perity there is soon to be erected a
handsome and well equipped school
building that will add honor and credit
to the town. I am always glad to en-
courage such enterprises Of this kind.
NEED MORE MONEY.
One Of the greatest needs respecting
our educational facilities here in the
South, is more money. We must have
it before we can ever hope to educate
the great mass of cur people. One of
the best plans for obtaining more mon
ey, now in operation, is che levying of
special tax for the schools. There
are at present ten school districts in

Will Stores (alias Red) got mixed up
with bad broncho on Monday and for
few seconds it looked as though his
scalp was destined to dangle from the
stirrups. The horse in its bucking gy-
rations got tangled up in buggy and
just about this time Will fell and his
foot caught in the stirrup. About the
time the horse got ready for business
William was also foot loose. It looked
serious for short time but we believe
it will take more than frisky broncho
to get away with Will.
