The Herald and News has not dis
cussed the school situation because
we did not feel that any good could
come to the public by entering the dis
cnssion. AS to the location and Sc
lection of lots we are not IN posses
sion of the facts and any position we
might take would be ex parte and
might be modified if We had full IN
formation.
There is no use to discuss the action
of the board in it's recommendations
a. year or so ago nor the bond issue
whether it be too large or too small.
That is done. AS to supervision the
trustees have elected all the officers
and teachers for another year and tor
that time at least that question is SET
tied.
AS to the high scholl we never un-
destood that 'Newberry was attempt
ING to have a real high schol depart
ment and if she has and is as TAR
down in the list in the attempt as
Prof. Hand says we are sorry the
attempt was made.
This we will say: The trustees
should settle the location as soon as
possible. And it should be settled
with a view to serving the interests
of the entire people and not to sell
the property Of any individual. We
have felt from the beginning the lot
Of Mrs. Y. J. Pope was most de-
sirable location being centrally locat-
ed on the opposite side from the pres
cut building and having good drain
age. There may be good reasons why
the board cannot purchase this prop
erty if they should decide not to do so
We suppose that the board had just
as we'll make up its mind that what
ever is done some one will be ready TO
say the other should have been done.
AS to the school itself Newberry
should have a school second to none
in the State. We are now going to
pay as good salaries as any of the
schools and we should command the
best talent and most expert teachers
that can be secured.

Methodist church last Sunday? If
not then YOU missed something. His
Sunday night address was on Fidelity
to truth. He said that every honest
man and woman was bound to be saw
ed but the trouble about it was that
so many here in Newberry and else-
where were prancing around thinking
they were honest when they were not.
That is worth thinking about. Ac-
cording to your opportunity and your
knowledge is your responsibility.
The Idler would like to suggest to
the Civic association that one day
during the week before commence
ment be appointed as cleaning up day
so that We may at least put on a good
appearance to the visitors and it Will
do us good, too. I suppose the new
trash ordinance is being carried out.
I have not seen the trash cart but
then I am not expected to see it. [
know some Of the streets around the
city are in need Of visit from some
one.
7 read in the paper the other day
where a woman was seeking divorce
:: from her husband because he had
been distressingly sober for year or
more. She should be taken in hand by
the ". G. T. =.
The Idler will be delighted to have
any citizen ask questions and if l
can [ will answer them but I want it
understood that I am not responsible
for them. The editor told me the
other day that gentleman wanted to
know who Idler was because he
thought Idler was the author of GER
tain questions which appeared in The
Herald and News. I am trying to be
polite and courteous to everyone and
only make such suggestions as ap-
pear to me to be for the best interest
of the town as I stroll around.
Talking about the school-it is the
! live question: know that the rule
in most schools is to let the superln-
tendent select his own teachers. He
ought to be better fitted to select
competent teachers than almost any
board. The board ought to be COM
petent to elect a good superintendent
and then he should be given authority
and instructions to select the very
best teachers to be had for the money.
Ihear Mr.. Childs is going to take the
Civic association to Clinton Friday
to show them the beautiful new de-

depot and grounds. But then it Is
not much use to improve over thert

A copy of the Charlotte Observer
came into my hands the other day and
in glancing through it my eyes fell
upon a heading which read "Scrib-
blings of an Idler." Of course I be-
gan to read. The first paragraph in
this department is along the line Of
my thoughts recently. 1t reads:
"They are telling it upon certain
preacher in this State that once upon
time he preached in a town where
there was wealthy old sinner whom
they were all very anxious to get into
the church. The pastor interviewed
him upon the subject and told him
he ought to join the church. Being
a man of very liberal mind, he did not
lay down very rigid restrictions for
his prospective member. The old gen.
tleman objected that he could not
Join the church as he drank little
sometimes. WELL said the minister
softly, well let you drink a little
sometimes.' But said the old gen
tleman, sometimes I get mad and
swear a little We'll let you swear
a little,' said the divine. Yes
came the reply, 'and you will let me
60 to hell little, too. Good-day,
SIR"
I have sometimes wondered in my
ignorance and my unsophisticated
simplicity, if it were not true that
the preacher as well as other mortals
did not exercise more cncern about
the "wealthy old sinner" than the
poor, struggling, unfortunate one who.
need their assistane most, and in
my simplicity I have wondered again
if it we're the soul and the spiritual
welfare, and the help that could be
given the ''wealthy old sinner" that,
caused this interest or if it we're the
money possessed by him that they
were after.
Anyhow, sometimes, I am almost
convinced that the end and aim Of
almost all endeavor is the dollar and
the man who has the dollar has the
entire but I desire to commend to
those who are being permitted to en-
ter thus, the answer of the wealthy
old sinner" and to say that even in
this world they will receive fellow
ship only so long as their dollar lasts,
and when it is gone, eyes, you will
let me 60 to hell a little, too.
Well, I hope that is not entirely
true. L have made up my mind to
have faith in my fellowman, to be- .
lieve him always, to think we'll Of
him, to speak we'll of him, to believe
that he is always going to observe the
golden rule, and now I don't want
ANYBODY to deceive me or to do any
thing to forca me to change my mind.

THE IDLER.

I have read with great deal Of
interest the articles about OUT schools
and have heard a great many remarks
some pleasant and some otherwise.
These things have amused me very
much. In fact about as much as I
could be amused at the Amus-U. If
I was a taxpayer and patron Of the
school I would feel like saying some
thing myself. I wish the editor would
let me print some of the things l
have heard, but I know he won't so
I VIII have to be amused all to my
self. Maybe that is just as well, be-
cause some of the things I have heard
said would amuse some people and
possibly make some people mad.

"views.'
Then there is whole lot Of talk
about efficient supervision and the
action Of the board. Well, that's
done and. what are you going to do
about it? You can't change it by
writing about it in the newspapers.
If the trustees have made a mistake
you can't change that mistake now.
Better 60 to work and help make the
school what it ought to be. Lets look
ahead and avoid the big rocks that
are in front instead of looking back
and quarreling about things that are
done.
It is true that brick and mortar
can't make a school but when we get
them they are permanent fixtures and
we can get new supervision if it is
necessary.
Of course the paramount question
with the trustees in the selection OF
those who are to manage and teach
the children should be efficiency and
family relations present or prospec-
tive should have absolutely no bear
ing but you know We are all human
and sometimes unconsciously we may
overlook the main questionable best
interest Of the children.
But then, you know, I don't know
anything about it and I am not going
to be persuaded into writing about
it.
It does seem to me, however, that
there are a few faithful teachers IN
the school who have been there for
many years and who have done good
and faithful service and who are de-
voting their life to the work and not
teaching for a year or two to prepare
for that other sphere Of woman 5
work, who have not received the con-
sideration from the trustees they
should. Unless I am mistaken some
new teachers have been put IN with
increased salaries and given more
than these faithful and tried ones.
It may be right but I can't square 1t
according to my arithmetic. But
then I don't know anything about the
school and I am not trustee and 1t
is none of my business and [ am not
going to say anything about it. l
want to see a first class school here
because it helps the town and the
children here deserve it.
I came down Boundary street the
other day and I noticed some work
Superintendent Wicker is doing there
and it looks to me like it is alright.
Pity the city wouldn't do more per-
manent work in the streets. It would
pay. If the Baptists could be induc-
ed to fix up the grounds around their
handsome church this could be made
a beautiful place. And the same
could be said of the grounds around
the Methodist and Lutheran churches.
Jno. Mayes has been trying to get
some grass to grow on the Methodist
lot but has has had indifferent success

It is a very serious matter about
whi;h to be amused but for an humble
citizen to sit quietly on the outside
and hear the people talk and watch
results, one can't help being just a
little amused. Of course I feel great
interest in the school and want to be
able to say that, Newberry has the
best school in the State and in order
to get that We must all get together
and lay aside all petty prejudices
and personal likes and dislikes and
have only the welfare Of the school
in mind.

II sometimes looks to a "koon up
the tree' that. the influences which
are potent are those which are apart
from the real questions at issue. But
then, you know, am not going to
say anything but this: Our trustees
ought to go to work and locate the
school. The longer they delay the
more talk and criticism and division
we are going to have. Why it would
Mt take me three minutes to decide
the location.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-05-21

Il is a pity we can't settle things
without questioning the motives Of one
in Newberry without suspecting one
another and settle them on their mer-
its. Maybe we do but sometimes it
doesn't appear that way to me. It
sometimes looks to me like it's "tic-
kle me and III tickle you" PROPOSE

SPAIN TO WITHDRAW.

MADRID, November 2S.-The Span
fish cabinet has decided that the game
in Morocco is not worth the candle,
and the campaign there against the
Riffan Moors is to be wound up and
the troops gradually withdrawn. In
September the Spanish forces at the
front were increased to fifty thousand
men, and a general advance against
the Moore was commenced by General
Marina. Despite the fall of Zeluan
and Mount Gurugu, the two Moorish
strongholds, captured at great cost in
Spanish life, the Moors have not. ceas-
ed in their activity and the Spanish
appear now to be facing the prospect
of a holy war, in which the fighting
men of all Northern Africa would rally
against her.
