Bailey School.

In 1894 Mr.. N. S. Bailey of Clinton
gave to school district No. 4, in Lau-
rens township, two acres Of land for
the purpose OF establishing a school.
A small building. with no modern
conVeniences, was erected in the
same year, and given the name of
Bailey. in honor of Mr.. Bailey. The
first teacher to take charge of the
school was Mrs. A. b. BlaSc,y, npc
Miss Mamie Addy, Of Clinton. At
that time the only seats they had were
benches, without backs, which were
placed around the walls. This school
term lasted only two months.
Among the teachers who have
taught in this school are Miss Emma
Dial and Mr.. Geo. l.. Pitts, the pres
ent superintendent of education of
Laurens county. In 1905-O6 the school
term was shortened, on account of
the sickness of the teacher. Miss
Dantzler. 1t was found necessary at
this time, to have a new building. The
trustees finding that they mad a sur
plus fund, on account of the short
session of 1905-06, decided to use this
money in helping to erect the new
building. In 1907 the house was built,
with modern conveniences. In rho
same year special two mill tax WIS
voted. For the past five sessions Mf4s
Wynona Riley has been the principSl
OF the school. During four months
of 1912, Miss Willie May Childresg
was an assistant teacher. Miss Eliza
beth Simpson is the present assistant
The number of pupils enrolled this
session is tffty-four, which is the
largest enrolment we have had in
five years. We have eight grades. The
length Of the school term is nine
months. Two of the Children haven't
been absent from school this session.
We have twelve subscribers to the
School Journal. On Arbor Day we
planted twenty-eight trees.
The Rural School Improvement as
sociation has for it's president Mrs.
b. b. Blakely, vice-president, Mrs. H.
L. Blakely; treasurer, Mrs. Joh, Mad
den, and secretary Mrs. Thomas
Brown. During this session the as
sociation has raised by various
means, $46.70. This money has been
expended, in buying a globe. pictures.
two coolers, cups, door-mat, and in
decorations for the float for the Coun-
ty Fair. Our school won the first
prize for the best float. at this fair.
The prize was $1,000 and this money
was used in buying pictures.
The present trustees of the school
are Mr. b. b, Blakely, Mr.. II. L. Blake
ly and Mr. John Brown.

l. Better equipment. 1t is impos-
sible to teach intelligently without
equipment. I have found in some
schools, as many as three and occa-
sonally four pupils sitting on one
desk. In five schools visited, the
children still sit on long benches. I'm
der such conditions it is hard to
maintain discipline. The writing is
necessarily poor in a school of this
kind. Since we know that the appeal
through the eye is the surest method
of educating a pupil, every school
should be furnished with good boards,
maps, globes, pictures, also, for COM
fort, desks, teachers table, chair etc.

LATEST MOVE is BIG VICTORY
FOR THE MINERS UNION

Trinidad, COL, Nov. 1.-THE entire
force of militiamen now in the South
ern Colorado coal fields at daylight
today started to Ludlow, the biggest
strike colony in the district, to dis
arm all the strikers and mine guards
there and in the Berwind, Tobasco,
Hastings and Delagua camps.
Adjutant Gen. Chase anticipated
no trouble, as representatives of the
miners and operators have agreed to
disarmament. AS soon as the rifles
ali denomination are in, the troops
will take up the work of guarding
the coal mines and all mine guards
will be taken out of the district per-
manently. This is regarded as a big
victory for the union.
The relations between the strikers
and the troops are cordial and when
the soldiers started for Ludlow they
were informed that the strikers plan
ned a gigantic demonstration of well
come.
