mond vas Miss Mamye Cromer OF Newberry.
Miss Cromer is the president OF the Abbeville
County Rural School improvement AssocIa-
ton.
In the course Of her remarks she pointed ont
some Of the defects Of our County schools.
The houses are too small. the heating ar
rangements are often poor. ventilation bad,
In some cases there are shutters instead Of
blinds. often the schools have no globes; poor
black boards. ect.
The school grounds should be improved by
removing all stumps and sodding in grass
and planting flowers. The rural people live
we'll at home, and the place where their
childrrn, their greatest asset, spend 30 much
time, the school house, should be as comfort
able as the home.
The school house will tell on the child's
character in the future. The speaker made
mention Of the thirty prizes offered FOR the
greatest improvement In rural schools during
the coming year. Five prizes OF 500 each and
twenty-five prizes Of $50 each. Each school
In the county should endeavor to win one OF
these prizes.
Tn county schools ought to be consolidated
where 1t Is possible. Sixty pupils can be
better taught in one building than in placing
them in four buildings separated from each
other.

Hon. W. n. Graydon.

The last speaker introduced was Hon. W.
N. Graynon. Among some OF the things
Mr.. Graydon said were that the present CAM
paign was not q political'one but a.matter of
patriotism, and that every man. who Ia
patriotic ought to take a hand In the fight.
THE influence for good started this year will
be looked back to as the year of awakening
in educational matter in South Carolina.
Our trouble IL onr lack OF interest, we need
inspiration. We have the greatest percent OF
llliteracy. Our greatest curse is our ignor-
ance. The speaker mentioned q case In court
where he had four white witnesses, three Of
which could not sign their names n had 10
make a cross mark. In the same case was a
negro witness who signed his name easily In
a very legibls hand.
The responsibility is on our shoulders and
we cannot shift 1t. A little self sacrifice On
our part will give us good schools.
The speaker said that he would be ashamed
TO own that the negro would usurp the place
OF the white man. There Ia nothing In the
argument that negro would be educated by q
system OF compulsory education. II the
people OF the State are ready for compulsory
education, we " II 10 our neighbors 10 SEQ
that they do not grow up In ignorance. The
children OF our community are our wards
both In law and morals. The community
has the same right TO say 10 q man that he
shall not let his child grow up In Ignorance
that 1t has TO make that man 10 cease In
juring his child with a stick, A man can
get along without a strong body. but be can
not get along without q healthy mind
Stephens was cited as an eIaple
MI. Graydon advocates q new school law
We should have q State School Commission
made up of a man from each congressional
district. The entire school machinery OF tht
State should be placed into the hands OF thiI
commission. The members OF the commits
sion should be paid sufficient salaries as Il
warrant them In devotipg all their time u
the work. This commission could then rec
ommend such legislationla as 1t deemed nee
essary from time TO time.
1t would be the duty of this commission
to pass on the qualifications Of candidates
for the oihce Of Superintendent Of schools
for the different counties. AS 1t Is the pre-
sent school law is like q crazy quilt, a patct
work Of conflicting regulations made from

Hon, VI. H, Nicholson,

Two OF the most serious detects OF our
school system were discussed by Mr.. Nickle-
SOD; the salaries paid teachers and length OF
terms. Men and women spend years and
much money In preparing themselves 10
teach and then receive the puny salary Of
s2s9 per year as wages. Men are not TO be
blamed for wishing to dodge teaching as a
profession. While q few teachers are getting
more than they are worth the great majority
are being under paid for their services.
One trouble with US is that we. al indivIdu-
ais, have lost sight of our responsibility. We
expect the Stale now to do 1t all. The State
ne yer Intel ded such q thing. The State does
not say hat the Individual shall not help.
1t only provides to help the weak. To ap-
pr eciate a thing one must pay for 1t. We do
not appreciate our schools because We do not
pay for them.
The speaker mentioned the old Wellington
school in the course of his remarks and h cid
1t up as q model. There are too many schools
now In the country. What We need is con-
soiidstlun OF schools so that We can have
better schools. The question OF education Is
the most important in the State today.

Dr.. Johnson.

| The next speaker was DR.. Johnson OF Win.
throp College. He had begun his LIES work
In Abbeville County as principal OF the
Abbeville Graded school, and was much IN.
teresled in the success Of the AbbevilIe County
schools. He said that II people only realized
the importance Of schools from an economic
stand point they would have better schools,
better school houses, would vote more local
tax. and would make more honest returns oil
property for taxation.
The Doctor stated that the wealth produ .
Ing power of a people depends directly upon
their educational advantages. The educated
man, according TO statistics, make $1,000 per
year or $40 900 in a life time; the uneducated
makes 81. 50 per day or slSOOO in q life time,
leaving S22, 600 to the advantage Of the educat-
ed man. This when figured out makee each
day at school TO the pupil worth $1,000! The
speaker said that 1t was better to put the
labor Of the land into the boy than TO put
the labor Of the boy into land, as many men
are doing today. He deplored the miserable
condition OF education in South Carolina and
mentioned the fact that Governor Aycock
thanked God for South Carolina because she
Kept North Carolina from being at the foot Of
the list in education. The heaviest burden
that any country can carry is illlteracy. II
costs TO be ignorant, he stated, and proved II
by statistics.
The fact that the people of South Carolina
are a rural people makes it imperative that
she have good rural schools. Society states
that not more than three generations can live
In the city before there must be change back
10 the country.
The purpose of Education. the Doctor said,
Is to prepare one for life, not to prepare a
student for law, medicine, or the ministry.
Good schools come from good teachers. No
school is better than the teacher at the head
Of 1t. 1t ID better TO have a good teacher for
a short time than to have a poor teacher for
a long time. The plan to get good teachers 10
TO pay good salaries. Brick layers get $500
per day. The dog catcher in Washington gets
1850 per year, while the school teachers get
$500. He did not deny that some teachers
get more than they are worth.
DR.. Johnson says that women ought to be
educated because an educated woman will
not rear an uneducated ismily II she can help
1t. The Doctors speech was full Of pith and
thought as were all the speeches made, and,
be was listened TO with closest attention.
