County Teachers Association.
by A. @. Daniel, Jr., Supt. of
Clinton Public School.)

Laurens county has had during the
year one of the livest teachers asso-
Citations la the state. Early in the fall
the teachers met in Laurens and or
ganized, electing the following Off
cers:: president, Mr.. B. l.. Jones, of
the Laurens city schools; vice presi-
dent. Miss Nanrie Simpson, of Gray
Court-Owingt; secretary, Miss Laura
Aull, of Trt nty-RllSe; treasurer, Mr..
A. e. Daniel, Jr., Of Clinton. These
officers have served faithfully and
we'll Much valuable work has been
planned and carried out for the good
OF the teachers. Each month, on the
second Saturday, the teachers met
and struggled together over their
many hard and perplexing problems
1t was an inspiration to see these
earnest teachers trying to equip them
selves better for the great work they
are doing. One Of the strong fea-
lures Of the years work was the in
stitute held at one Of the regular
monthly meetings. About ninety per
cent of all the teachers of the county
attended and all of them went away
feeling that they had gotten a great
deal OF good Some very prominent
school men were on the progr ram. not
ably Dr. E. p. Jones, of Newberry;
Supt. }. 'E. Swcaringen, State super
intendent of education; Prof w. X
|
| Prof. w. II. Hand, State high school
inspector Each one of these men
came with a strong message for the
teachers.
The Laurens County Teachers AS
sociation has Justly won for itself an
excellent reputation throughout the
state. 1t is considered second to none,
and this reputation is greatly due to
the untiring, persistent efforts of Miss
vii Lou Gray, county school super
visor. Miss Gray has ably and eff
GENTLY done her work, and the whole
county has a right to feel proud of
her and her work. AS result Of the
| faithful work done by Miss Gray and
county was the banner county at the
State Teachers Association recently
held in SDartanburg. Laurens county
won the handsome trophy cup offered
for the largest attendance this year.
We, as a county, are proud of the
record.
