after which he slipped quietly back to
Denver But the price Of land near

suit of his visit when the news leaked

A Trip Through One Of the Best Counties
Of the Peedee Section Of the State in
Regard to School Improvement.

AT the request OF the State superin-
tendent of education. Supterindent A.
II. Gasque. of Florence. invited the
county superintendent of the State
TO tour Florence county and inspect
the school houses and school condi-
tions in this county.
There were ten counties represent
ed on this tour and almost every
section of the State had represen-
tatiye. This was very pleasant as
well as very profitable trip
We left the city OF Florence about
nine g.. nj. and first came TO two
room building with only one teacher.
This is one OF Mr. Gasque's consoli-
dations and next year he will trans
port the children from the other
school, about four miles from this
place, in wagon anu will have two
teachers in this school.
We stopped at this school about fif-
teen minutes and after speaking to the
teacher and looking over the build
ing found that the school owned six
acres of land with this building and
would teach agriculture to the chill
dren from practical standpoint.
The next building was about seven
miles from this place and was q nice
SIX room brick structure with an au-
ditorium. At this school We found two
wagons that transported children to
the school. The farthest distance that
any one CAME to this school was five
miles and the total number OF chill
dren enrolled in this school was abcut
one hundred and thirty. AT this school
we found four teachers employed. We
also found n piano in this building and
this was used in the morning exer
cises. Some of the children are
taught music.
At this place the old school build
ing, neat three room building, was
changed to teachers home and with
the addition OF three other rooms Il
made wary comfortable home. The
assistant teachers had two rooms In
the building and did light housekeep-
Ing fer themselves. This building was
about one hundred yards from the
school building. This W. another.
place where agriculture is taught the
children from the school plot.
After leaving this place VIC went
to another new building with two
teachers, but they Had the third room
and the I'd building will be converts
ed into a teachers home.
The next place was an old fashioned
schno, house with three teachers down
stairs and lodge hall up stairs. The
fourth teacher was teaching in this
lodge hall j Supt. GasQue told us that
the plans were under operation to
make this another like the brick
building that we visited second In the
