Editor County Record
AS yet, so few schools have taken
advantage of the great opportunity
that they have in the offer of
School Information column free.
We should prove our appreciation to
our valuable paper and its editor for
such a donation by sending in month
ly reports from each school. Let the
people know what you are doing. In
fact, they doubt anything being
done when you are not willing to
tell others about it.
Teachers, have one of your ad-
vanced pupils to write your school
notes at least once month, stating
the progress of your work, giving a
description of all improvements. If
it is only a flower planted on the
campus. tell US about it. This will
lead others to follow your example.
Had you thought of your campus or
school-room deserving a Christmas
remembrance? A nice rose bush for
the campus, a few bulbs or some
other plant or plants will be CRATE
fully received by your campus. A
pretty picture or a nice book or
something of the kind will, in like
manner. praise the giver for many a
Christmas to come. This can be
done by each pupil giving few PEN
MES.
The most effective improvements.
especially campus and classroom
decoration, are being done by the pu-
pills under the wise leadership of the
teacher. What great and glorious
opportunity the teacher has. How
can you afford to ignore this? shall
from time to time write notes and
send clippings to the School Infor-
nation" column so that you may
see what other States and counties
of our State are doing. There is no
question about it, we must bestir
ourselves more in the future than
we have in the past. Nearly every
county in the State is making vigor-
our efforts to be first in educational
affairs. What is Williamsburg's plan?
The following are the officers OF
the School Improvement association
of Williamsburg county:
Miss Florence H Stubs, Organic
er, Rome; Miss Alma Davis, Presi-
dent, Kingstree; Miss Mamie Nc
Lees, Vice-President, Cades; Miss
Cleva Rhame, Recording Secretary
Vox; Miss Iona Reed, Corresponding
Secretary, Rome; Miss Matte E.
Harper, Treasurer, Greelyville.
Great pains were taken in electing
the officers. We feel that, from the
president down, we have made Il
most wise selection. There can be
nothing but success if they receive
the proper response from our people.
In order that the work of improve
ments might be stimulated we have
appointed soliciting committee:
Mr. T w Boyle, Greelyville; Mr. W
E Nesmith, Cades; Mr. E R Rowell.
Taft; Mr. 3 B Chandler, Rome; Mr.
w F Tolley, Kingstree.
For the convenlences Of this COM
mittee and those who will help, we
have made out a suggestive list of
articles that can be used to a great
advantage in and around the school.
We have included many very small
articles, such as ,ails, tacks, etc.
Our idea is to make little cases and
include number of these small and
necessary articles, which will consti-
tute AN emergency set, or some
other suitable name may be used.
All donations, whether cash or goods,
will be used to the best of adyan-
tage for this improvement work.
Don't wait on the committee, but
notify the treasurer, Miss Harper,
what you can and will give.
