HOW TO IMPROVE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
MIR. o. B. Martin Summarizes His
Views as to the Needs of the
School System in South
Carolina.
News and Courier.

| News ana courier.
Columbia. December 13.-State
Superintendent Of Education Martin
has summarized under ten headings
the recommendations in his final
annual report to the general assem-
bly, as follows:
"D A commission should be ap-
pointed to revise the school Code and
submit the same to the general as
semblv at its next session.
"(2) Our system Of county super
vision should be improved by making
county boards elective by the people
and the superintendent elective by
county boards.
"(3) Our system Of county super
vision should be improved by making
county boards elective by the people
and the superintendent elective by
county boards.
"(3) There should be State tax
or State appropriation to raise the
per capita per child in each county to
at least 81. Weak counties should
be aided first. Such an appropriation
would tend to give us a State school
system.
"(4 The legislature could we'll af-
ford to make an appropriation to aid
rural schools which run for eight
months, and which have eight grades.
There should be at least two teachers
and forty-five pupils in such schools.
Such action would encourage consoli-
dation and local taxation. Many COM
munities cannot meet the require
ments of the High School Act.
"(5) The High School Act should
be amended so that small towns can
comply with its requirements, 50 that
the number Of schools in large coun-
ties may be increased, and so as to
give the State high scnooi board more
discretion and authority in passing
upon the merits of each individuai
case. It will be necessary also to in
crease the high school appropriation
as the demand increases.
"(6) I believe that the time has
come when thte legislature should es-
tablish agricultural high schools.
Other trade and vocational schools
will follow within a few years.
go It will be necessary to make
better provision for summer schools
for teachers if this work is to be kept
up as heretofore.
"(8) The method Of conducting
teachers examinations should be
changed at once so that greater uni
formity and efficiency may be secur-
ed.
"(9) The field agent of the cam
paign committee should be made an
assistant in this department and a
salary provided for her services. The
State board of education should be
allowed to make a small appropria-
ton to encourage schools to get pic
lures and chest Of tools.
"(1O) This office should be provid-
ed. at the earliest possible conven-
ience. with sufficient rooms, furniture,
files and fixtures. y

LETTER TO GEORGE W. TURNER,
Smyrna Del,

Dear Sir: Two men on opposite
side of the same street sell sausages,
one at 10c lb, the other at 5. Which
sells the more sausages, think you?
The answer is: 1t depends on the
street. There are plenty of streets
in the world where sc sausages go
like the wind.
Devoe is an honest paint: there
are eihgt honest pants, 200 adul-
terated and short measure; Devoe
is the best of the eight. Devoe has
more strength than the other seven.
The painter adds generally a quart
of oil to Devoe; he still has stronger
paint than any other one of the
seven.
The seven are sold at one price
$1.75 a gallon; a common price of
second rate paint is $3.50. 1t takes
8 gallons Devoe to paint a small
Smyrna times., 1908-10-14

house, and IL of average pait 8;
gallons cost less than II; the price
is more than offset by less gallons
1t costs 81 to $4 a day to get
paint on; day is a gallon; So to SIG
more to paint the more gallons
paint; So to $16 less for painting the
less-gallons paint.
The difference in first cost of the
two jobs is $14 to $22 and which
wears best do you think? It's the
less gallons paint because of its
strength.
There are plenty of people to buy
those sc sausages.
Yours truly

FASHIONS FOR MEN
New York Style Show At The Store
of Edward G. Walls

W @d"aId ~ WdtlS
While it is unpuestionably true
that the only real styles for men
come from New York, yet it is not
necessary for the men of Smyrna
to go or send to New York to get
absolutely fashionable clothes.
Edward G. Walls is showing the
very latest models of Alfred Bneiamin
Co., the gatest tailors of New
York Styles.
The garments that Ewdard G.
Walls has on exhibition shows in
every line, every detail the hand
of the master workman.
Of course the patterns and colors,
as well as the cut, are in the very
latest New York fashion, as the men
who seleced the materials are every
bit as much authority in this
line as the designers are in theirs.
Their taste is authoritive.
Some marked innovations are
being shown by Edward G. Walls.
Among them the Tiger Vest, new
creation of Alfred Benjamen Co.'S.
This waistcoat was accepted
Immediately by the clubmen of New
York and is an exceptionally exclusive
mole.
The stripes of the material run
diagonally from the shoulders to the
edge, giving an effect altogether
novel.
This vest is only one of many
handsome garment which Edward G..
Walls has one hibition.
This is show verg much worth
seeing, as many have found out, for
it gives US an idea of what the best
dressed men in the world are wearing.
