IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.

Congressman A. F. Lever, Supt. o.
B. Martin Prof. W H. Hand, Prof.
Ira Williams and Col. E. J. Watson
held a conference this morning in the
latter's office, to devise a scheme for
the establishment of agricultural high
schools in this State.
The conferees were absolutely in
ucnity On the proper methods to be
pursued to avoid the pitfalls that 9TH
er States have encountered.
Commissioner Watson states that
the undertaking on the lines propos-
ed means more to the upbuilding of
the agricultural industry Of this
State than anything that has been I'M
dertaken in the last half century.
Supt. Martin and Col Watson are
to work certain ideas into proper
shape and another conference viii
probably be held next week. The
whole proposition will finally be sub
mitted by the department of educa-
tion and the department Of ae1icul-
ture, to the legislature with certain
recommendations. However, the pro-
position will first be submitted to
Governor Ansel.
"This scheme will do more to get
federal help for South Carolina than
ANYTHING else," said Col. Watson. ''It
is the same idea in the concrete form.
that I presented to the country life
commission in Spartanburg yeSter-
day.
The above is from the daily papers
of recent date.
This is movement in the right d.

to the legislature will commend it.

FOR BETTER SCHOOLS.

Petitions are being circulated ask
inc the city council to order an elec
ton on the question OF issuing $3O,
900 in bonds for the enlargement o1
the city schools in accordance witt
the suggestions contained in thte re
port Of the special committee which
report was published in the New
berry papers on Tuesday.
These petitions are being rapid!
signed by the freeholders who reallzf
the Importance Of charging our schoo
system. For the convenience Of the
committees in charge Of the petitions
and also for the convenience Of the
citizens, petitions may be found al
each Of the banks.
Under the plan proposed 1t Will moi
be necessary to increase our tax levy
in order to enlarge the schools and
everv citizen Of the community must
realize the Importance and in fact the
absolute necessity Of better equip
ment for our city schools.
As stated in Tuesdays paper, the
buildings were scarcely adequate
when erected some twenty years ago
and during that time the population
has grown double, and we have been
derelict in the matter Of improving
our school facilities, so as to have the
school keep pace with the progress
and growth of the community.
Of course, we all realize that
buildings and grounds and equip
ments do not make first class schools.
In fact in the old days some Of the
very best schools to be found in the
country probably had very poor equip
ment but in this day it is necessary
to the proper training of the chill
dren that there should be good equip
ment. When that is secured then tn
community will demand that the very
best trained intellect and brains be
put in charge of the education Of our
children. In order to do this, as We
suggested on Tuesday, 1t will be nee
essary to increase the salaries Of sup
erintendent and teachers, and also to
increase the number of teachers.
It is entirely wrong 70 put one
teacher in charge Of forty or fifty
children. No teacher can do good
work and the children cannot advance
when the room is crowded with from
forty to fifty pupils. But after We
get our school enlarged then it will
be time to take up these other mat
ters. In the meantime it is we'll,
however, that we should be thinking
sabout them and discussing them.
Nothing so helps a community,
whether it be city or a rural COM
munity, as first class schools, and to
make these you must have comforta
BILE and attractive surroundings as
well as trained teachers.
