OUR SCHOOLS.

We would imagine that the super
intendent and the teachers Of our
school would become discouraged at
the very beginning of the school year
when very attractive program is ar
ranged and noted educator Is pro-
cured for an address and then very
few patrons turn out to wish them
well in the year of work before them.
Even though an attractive program
had not been arranged for the school

We take the stand that Rev. Mr..
McGee took Monday when he was
called on, after the address of Dr..
Harms, to speak few words on be-
half OF the ministry OF the city. Mr..
McGee said that he had too much sense
and good taste than to try TO com
ment on DIR. Harms address. While
we do not admit Mr.. McGee's asser-
tion a. TO himself we do admit that
he expressed our sentiments exact

would be doing our duty If we did not
second DR.. Harms plea for compul-
sorry education. In bringing out this
point, he used an illustration with a
very pathetic setting. 1t was that OF
the travelling preacher who was riding
through one OF the counties of our
own state. III we remember correct
ly. as the traveller was just going into
one of our county seats a negro boy
was seen sitting on the side of the
road with white boy, somewhat his
elder, peering over the negro's should
er at something in the latter's lap. He
passed, but wondered what the two
boys were doing. Returning later, he
found the little negro still near the
same place. He rode up to him and
stopped. He then asked him what he
and the white boy had been doing when
he passed some time before. And the
negro replied We'll, mister, you
know dat boy aint got no education.
was Just wTitin' for him a letter 10
his gal"
We believe that the story was a
true one. Even though 1t had only
been intended as an illustration, II
Is true to life. The negroes of this
state are thirsting for education and
many of them in fact more of them
than white ones ARE getting it. Where
is the little negro boy now that can
not read and write? And then how
many oe our white boys Are not at
tending school and how mahy of them

might work together to the better

before them.
We people OF Laurens should be
and many of us are very proud of our
schools. 1t Is recognized fact among
the educators Of South Carolina that
our building is one Of the most mod
| ern and, thanks to Mr.. Jones, one OF
the most beautifully equipped in the
state. We have been for several years
very fortunate in the selection of our
teachers and we now have corps of
teachers which is working as a har-
monious whole in the cause of edu-
cation. To Supt Jones we are large
ly indebted. He is a tireless worker
for the schools and has succeeded.
| largely through his own initiative but
at the same time with great deal
of assistance from his teachers and
more or less from his students, in
| beautifying the exterior and interior
of our modern building so that it has
become as Dr. Harms said Monday,
"a model for the other schools of the
state Like the Charleston.ans, when
they are twitted about their city be-
ing slow, antiQuated and behind the
times and who are always able &c re
tort that their city is the banker for
South Carolina, SO can we of Laurens
boast of our schools when any slight
ing remarks are made as to our much
ly regretted backwardness in other
things. We ought to be proud of our
schools and-most of us are.
In this connection it might not be
amiss to suggest that Supt. Jones is
anticipating the support which he re-
ceived last year in his activities in
connection with raising money for the
school. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Jones cleared over $700 last year
out of the Lyceum course and other
attractions. The entertainments were
enjoyed by those who attended and
doubtless much of good was cotton
from them. 1t is to be hoped, there
fore, that inasmuch as the cause is
good one and entertainments are
we'll worth the small charges made for
them, that he will be enthusiastically
supported during the coming year
The plea that Dr.. Harms made with
the children TO become workers and
not idlers seems to us to have been
particularly appropriate in Laurens.
DR.. Harms urged above all other
things that the children be not idle.
To our minds at once arose the
thought that has often occurred TO us
and which has been heard to come
from the lips of many others. That
thought was that in Laurens there
seems TO be more genuine loafers than
in any other place that it has been
our fortune to be in. While it may
be true that our travels have not been
extensive as many another. still we
have been around some and it seems
TO us that there are more young men
without any visible means of support.
than that which they get from their
elders, than in any other city which
we have been in. We do not under
stand it, 1t cannot be said that a
streak of laziness runs through the
blood OF the people here for most of
them are hard and steadfast workers.
1t seems that some OF them have not
been properly impressed with the hon
or and the rewards OF work or more
