ocoNEE SCHOOLS CoMMENDED.
State superintendent Writes interest
imgIy-$2, 300 for Weak Schools.

The following interesting letter
relative to public school matters in
OcOnec has been sent by State Super
ntendcnt of Education ]. E, Swear
ingen to County Superintendent OF
Education Thos. A. Smith. 1t gives
an insight to some features of the
work being carried on in the inter
est of the public schools OF Oconee.
We are indebted to Mr.. Swearingen
for copy of the letter, which is as
follows: .ra.N.
"Columbia. March "a, 1911.
'Supt. Thos. A. Smith, Walhalla,
s. C.--Dear Mr.. Smith: Last Octo-
ber You called meeting of the
school trustees of Oconee county TO
discuss school problems and school
needs. BY invitation | was present,
and had the privilege of meeting
many Of these school workers.
THE results of tnat meeting have
come to my office from time to time
during the last six months The
County superintendent and the
County Supervisor Of Rural Schools
have allowed me the pleasure Of shar-
ing their stimulating activities in
many districts. Since the need Of
your schools is pressing, and since
the opportunity for successful work
is so great, have rejoiced at every
sign of progress. 1t is, therefore, a
genuine satisfaction to note the de-
velopment of the rural graded schools
under your supervision.
"To-day ! am sending your County
treasurer a warrant for $4,000 in
payment of the twelve applications
you have filed. This means fuller
enrolment, more regular attend
ance, a longer term, an increased
school spirit, a heavier tax, and in
creased school efficiency in each dis.
trtct. Few County Superintendeuts
have shown greater activity during
the last twelve months. | sincerely
hope this growth may be continued.
Each district without local tax
should consider the advisability of
voting a local levy during April or
May. In any community where the
school term is less than six months
the boys and girls are not getting a
fair chance. With term extension
aid for weak schools hope every dis
trict will maintain a session Of at
least six months this year. If our
public schools are to provide adc-
Quate education for all the people
they must run for at least eight
months, but until increased revenues
have been secured this length of term
is impossible. The best that we can
do at present is to secure progress in
this direction.
The benefits Of State aid in
lengthening the school term, in in
creasing the teaching force in rural
graded schools, and in high schools,
is nowhere better illustrated than in
Oconee county. The County Board Of
Education, the County Superintend-
ent of Education, and the County Su-
pervisor of Rural Schools can point
to notable achievement during the
last twelve months.

creased facilities for further pro-

PUBLIC MEETING NEXT TUESDAY

There is 20 be a public meeting of
citizens and taxpayers next Tuesday
night at the Court House. at which
time the matter of electric lights and
power will be considered, the meet
ing being in the nature of a continu-
ancc Of the one held Thursday night
of last week.
There is no questioning the fact
that Walhalla needs lights and needs
them at once. There is no question
that she needs power for small en-
tCrpriSos. already established and
prospective. There may be differ
Cnces OF opinion as to the best me-
thod Of securing the latter, but these
differences can be easily and reason
ably adjusted, and to the satisfaction
and benefit Of all concerned The
ion that the contract that is ready
for signing up by the Council is the
best that she will ever get, and we
also believe that the contract that is
proposed for day power will become
an asset to the town within twelve
months after the power is secured.
These matters can be threshed out
speedily at the meeting next Tues
day night, and they should be dis
