will provide for the expenses of the
State government, including the State

ton which now demands the best

IX. The School.
While 1t will be many years before
the one-teacher school becomes a
thing Of the past in South Carolina,
the inevitable tendency in the more
progressive communities will be in
the direction Of a school employing at
least three teachers. Such school
affords a better classification of the
pupils stronger social incentives to
good school work, and an opportunity
to introduce special work in agricul-
turc, homcmaking, and manual train
ing designed to secure better adam
tation of the school to the needs Of
the community An efficient country
school will gradually acquire some Of
the following distinguishing charac-
tcristics:

Waterloo School.

The first schoolhousc was built in
Waterloo in 1925 and was located a
little to the northeast Of the town, by
the side Of the old Methodist church
and the cemetery. 1t was an ugly
twO-Story wooden building The
school occupied the first floor and
the Masons rented the second floor.
In 1876 another schoolhousc was
built. This building was better than
the first but would be considered a
very poor one in days OF modern
school building. 1t was very poorly
ventilated and had but one large room
with Il large fireplace in one end. The
children sat on slab seats. There
fore the room was very uncomforta-
bic.
In 1907, through the determined cf-
forts Of w. Carl Wharton, there was
built Il large, commodious two-story

tax.
At present one Of the most glaring
disparities in district revenues arises
from the fact that school district
has the right TO impose special tax
on public utilities situated within its
borders. There are many districts in
South Carolina in which the railroad
pays half Of the total school tax 1t
is comparatively easy for such dis
trict to maintain school, while an
adjoining district, which the railroad
does not touch, is placed ut great
disadvantage. For this reason many
school districts in the State have been
gerrymandered so as to take in the
greatest possible railroad mileage A
district which is blessed with 4 large
railroad mileage running through 4

it serves, and from which it obtains
its revenues. In practice the present
condition works disastrously both for
the general public and for the public
utility. The more aboundant revenue
and the better school facilities which
arc made possible for the towns on
the railroad have a tendency to attract
the people from the surrounding
farms, and consequently to decrease
farm productivity and the earning
power Of the railroad which pays the
taxes. The only solution which oc-
ours to me is to Scgrcgatc the proper

schools in South Carolina which are
steadily approaching them.

VII.-School Support.
The money for the support Of the
schools should come from three sourc-
cs--thc State, the county, and the dis
trict. At present there are glaring
disparitics in the per capita of school
revenue In the various districts Of the
State arising from the unequal distri-
button Of wealth, the unequal race
distribution, and especially from the
presence or absence in the district of
railroads, power plants, or other pub
lie utilities.

sirable that we have a State appro-
priation or State tax sufficient to
guarantee school term OF three
months in every school district
