COUNTY
SUPT. OF EDUCATION
Continued from Page u

a strong central school helps to Sc
cure better results, but large dis
trict with a nest of weak, one-room,
one-teacher, short-term schools is
never to be desired.
In twelve schools, the average at
tendance was exceedingly low, and
in ten of these twelve the average at
tendance fell below one dozen pupils.
Is it possible for some of these to be
consolidated during 1913-14?
The report shows 33 one-room
schoolhouses. Educators agree that
under no condition can one teacher
handle properly more than five
grades. hope to see the time soon
come when no new schoolhouse will
be erected with less than two class
rooms. If this standard were ap-
piled in Union today, more than half
the schoolhouses now in use would
need to be remodeled.
Receipts for the year amounted to
$55, ,262.37, and expenditures to $45,-
465. 90. Of the % school districts,
20 begin the scholastic year 1894
with a working balance, while three
are reported as overdrawn. This
showing is creditable, but it would
be far better if the trustees of each
district would avoid going in debt.
The county needs larger school
fund. Only fifteen districts report a
local school levy. The money result
ing from school tax is not the only
benefit accruing to the district.
Where citizens are willing to vote an
extra tax for education, this action
is a guarantee of interest, insuring
attendance and cooperation. In
Darlington county, every district now
levies local tax, amounting in some
cases to mills, and if Union could
show this situation in 1914, it would
mean much for its schools during the
next twelve months.
The trustees of your special tax
districts have not taken advantage
of the term extension Act and the ru.
raj graded school Act. Under the
first law, any district levying a two
mill tax and unable to run it's schools
five months may secure 500 State
aid. Under the graded school Act
districts having an enrolment of sc
in one school and levying four-milI
tax may secure 5000 State aid; while
districts with rs pupils enrolled ir
one school and four-mill tax may
secure $500. ! recommend that these
matters receive close attention this
fall.
In conclusion, permit me to con-
gratulate you upon the progress you
have secured, the interest you have
stimulated, and the cooperation you
have enlisted. You have turned over
a fertile field and fine opportunity
to your successor.
Yours respectfully,
j. E: Swearengin,
State Superintendent of Education.

BETTER PAINT

Better paint this year if your prop
erty needs it. Mistaken men have
been waiting for paint to come down.
The cost of their job has gone-up
not down; it always goes-up by wait
ing; never comes-down.
Better paint than Devoe? There
isn't any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 80
years. ago for better paint than De-
voc; how long would he have waited (?
How long would he still have to
wait?
The price a gallon makes some diff
ference; yes, but not much; it's the
paint that counts.
It's the go-far that counts. Pro-
lection of the property counts more
yet.
