weak just the same as the eyes,

RURAL SCHOOL nIpRovEMBNr.
Reflected Rays from the Recent
Meeting at Columbia.

Bounty Land Jan. "a Special:
The writer attended as delegate
the State Teachers and Rural School
improvement Association, which con.
yened in Columbia December 3943i
and January 1st. The trip was a
most enjoyable-and we hope pro-
fitable one--as we were somewhat
enlightened as to our duties as or
ganizer of the o. r. S. /. A.
From the fact that our county
teachers failed to report either 20 us
or the county papers Of improve
ments made in their schools, we were
unable to give full report of the
work done in our county. However,,
glad to report that even one school
in the county received prize. Pop
lar Springs received we'll deserved
prize of $50 for the improvements
made between November 1, 1907,
and December Is, 1908. We were a
little disappointed that this school
did not win 800 prize, but when
we heard the reports from the schools
which won the 500 prizes and
heard Of the wonderful changes
made we were very we'll satisfied
with our prize.
Now, we sincerely hope that every
teacher will begin the new year with
awakened zeal and renewed energy
and determination to make every i'm
provement possible II the school
over which she or he presides. Let
us wake up to the necessity of max
ing as comfortable and attractive as
possible the buildings within whose
walls is nodded, to great extent,
the character Of our future men
Cow taI,
sists not merely in the acquisition
of knowledge, but the formation of
character" Let us not permit our
county to lag behind in this great
work.
The original association of rural
school improvements, we have been
told, is dead. Now in all ages of the
world, we suppose, 1t has ever been
the observation of the living that
when body which has been pro-
nounced dead begins to show signs
of life and activity, every living OBJ
ject within reach of that body is
terminated, and there's something
doing. Now this supposed dead as
sociation, although not regularly or.
ganized, is arousing from her state
of lethargy, and many of the schools
in the county have made great
changes. Let every man, woman
and child who resides in the rural
districts Of the county feel that they
are members Of this grand organi-
zation, and exert every effort in the
up-building of the schools in their
respective districts.
We append clipping from The
State, which gives a full account of
the proceedings of the meeting of
the State Association.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Jasper Doyle.

"They felt that the most good they
could do would be to offer a gold
medal to the one who accomplished
the most for the rural schools in her

This medal has been awarded by
the executive committee of the local

DR.. S. G. Mitchell, of the Univer-
sity of South Carolina, was called
upon for few remarks by President
Nance. DR.. Mitchell made a splendid
impromptu talk that was thoroughly
appreciated. The speaker stated
that during a conversation with
Prof. p. p. Claxton, prominent Sou
thern educator, and from the Uni
versity Of Tennessee, Prof. Claxton
stated that the South Carolina wo-
men are doing more in a systematic
way for the Improvement of the
schools than any women in any other
State. Prof. Claxton also compli-
mented Miss Nance for her splendid
work. '.as
DR.. Mitchell said that wha, the
women have done in Virginia is tt q
most important factor in the prog, "ss
that Virginia has made. He was
happy that the women have found
an exhilaration and glow in this new
field and for public causes. He is
delighted to see them grow in the
ardor and zest for the accomplishing
of this noble purpose. Ho compared
the part the women played In '61 and
'65 to the part the women are now
playing in this cause of education.
The speaker said that while the wo-
men of the South neryed the men
who went forth to battle in the Civil
| War, cared for tie sick and attended
the wounded, yet the part they are
| now playing in caring for the chill
dren is of equal import.

Gen. Wade Hampton brought out of
the swamps little live oak. tree,
