Condition of Schools.
The community work at HunteT-De-
Walt school has been so thorough
that steadfast improvement has re-
suited; but more equipment is need
ed. Silverstreet has splendid build
ing; but needs more cooperation
among patrons. st. Lukes has yet an
excellent opportunity to build up a
rural high school, Smyrna is equipp-
ed almost perfectly in detail. Pros
perity has a great need of improve
ment on the school grounds. Trinity
should Grange the desks so that the
light will come from the pupils left.
Are the Jalapa folks as much interest
ed in their school as the teachers and
new building would warrant? Vince
land like many other districts will
have to take more care to see that
the dog and poll taxes OF that district
are on the treasurer's books.
Saluda has need of two strong
teachers for the entire term. Whit
mire will be in good financial condi-
tion to employ the additional teachers
needed. Little Mountain deserves the
support of the people of surrounding
districts to whose children she has
opened her DOORS st. Paul may play
part in the education of the county
by becoming a part of an adjoining
district. Zion l.as two teachers who
teach so many grades that the work is
not as satisfactory as it otherwise

graded B on cleanup day score with
which this permanent record score
is sometimes confused.
Deadfall needs at least twenty feet
of hyloplate blackboard. Bet1eden
needs pump and paint. Reederville
will have to spur up to keep up with
surrounding schools. Mccullough is
one of tie schools that should have a
summer festival to secure money for
a library. Cnappells' beautiful build
ing has never been as carefully kept
as it should he. Utopia through a mis-
take on the part of the supervising
teacher was graded B last year when
the lack of equipment and the bad
lighting causes it to be in class
C Maybinton needs porch and paint.
Hartford needs blackboards in the
primary room. Fairview seeks the
get together spirit Rutherford needs
a pump, which will be forthcoming
where there is such good spirit. Mt.
Pilgrim is expecting to add black
board in the same way that she added
to the library. Ridge Spring with two
teachers will be prepared to do good
work. Mt. Pleasant trustees by sup
plying needed equipment have greatly
increased the efficiency Of their school.
Excelsior has had successful year.
Big Creek people are considering
sending their children to St. Lukes.
Swilton will either have a one teacher
or consolidated school next year.
Fork has increased its equipment re-
markably. Tranwood trustees can
greatly improve their school by adding
blackboards and closing the front
window. Presley too indicates the
need of sociability. Mudlic could be
transported to a school in Laurens
Fcounty if consolidation there is ef-
fected. Monticello has several pupils
who should be able to enter Prosperity
high school. Kinards is prepared to
hnild one of the best schools in the
