SPLENDID ADDRESS
HEARD BY TEACHERS
DR.. Poteat President Furman I'm
iversity Delivered Masterful
Address

The meeting yesterday Of the An
dcrson County Teachers Association.
at West Market street school, was
one OF the most interesting and help
full that has been held in months. The
feature of the meeting was an ad-
dress by DR.. f. NJ. Poteat, president
Of Furman University, Greenville,
S. G..
The Scripture reading was by Dr.
j. +. Vines, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church. while prayer was made
by the EcV. Mr.. Garrison, pastor of
the a. r p. church. Another inter-
asting fture Of the meeting was
a violin SOTO by Mr.. r. G.. Cooper,
director OF the orchestra at The An
derson theatre. Mr.. Cooper's talent
is we'll known and appreciated
throughout the city. in spite OF the
fact that he has been here but q
short while. A reading from Tenny-
sons Lady Clare was given by Miss
Arnold Of Williamson and was high
lly appreciated.
The address by Dr. Pnteat was
masterful. In the outset he stated
that the task confronting South Car
olina today Is an educational one.
The second thought OF tho address
was that the State needs better
schools or rather to improve or It's
methods of teaching. The third
thought that the speaker advanced
was that above all things the child Is
taught 1t should be taught to read.
It is regretted that time does not
permit 8. synopsis of the masterful
address being given for the benefit
of those who were not 30 fortunate

THE MATTER OF EDUCATION.

The educator whose address Is re-
ported In another column Of The In
tellIgencer speaks truly when he snys
that tne one supreme tes,s before the
people of South Carolina Is AL ,duca-
tional one.
The population Of South Carolina is
Just as good by nature as that Of any
State In the union. We have been as
little effected by the immigration ol
the past fifty years as any. Our stock
for the most part Is pure. and strong
and good.
Our chiefest need IL one OF uni
versal education. This education to
he accomplished at'thc hands of good
men and women. 1t tS sacrifice that
many OF them mako. The pay Is often
Inadequate. And sometimes they have
to work against adverse conditions.
!, But all people who believe in the
necessity of building q greater and
hotter civilization make sacrifices too.
Fortunately among these toilcrs there
is but little complaint They seem to
realize tho sacredness of their duty
to the coming generation. Tho gratl-
tudc they get from those whom they
train and from those WHO appreciate c
their services Is no mean part Of their
compensatlons.
When oil OF our people are educat-
cd sufficiently to think for themselves.
we shall be delivered from an innnu-
erablo company OF evils.
The recent general assembly passed
law which Is good as far as 1t
goes. The time will come, however.
when men and women will have to
do their duty in the matter OF the
education OF their children whether
they want to or do. Christianity and
civilization will demand 1t.
Ignorance in any, country Is bad
enough. But 1t is intollerable in q
free democratic country like ours.
W. have not dealt with 1t as wisely
and as we'll perhaps as we could have
done. but we hope always for the best
if We die In despair Our good old
frlegt I'D brother, Josh Ashley.

Neaus Letter
From Bolton

One of the most delightful social.
events Of the season was the party
given by Mrs. w. A. Clement on Mon.
day evening for the choir of the First
baptist church. The house was love-
ly with it's wealth Of beautiful jon
quils. cluny lace over yellow and love-
pot plants.
After short business meeting OF
the choir, the guests were all asked
to line up alphabetically and Mrs. ].
T. West was given an old time blue
back spelling book and asked to con-
duet a spelling class. This furnished
a great deal OF amusement. but the
spelling bee which followed furnished
even more. Miss Francis Burnes and
Louis Secl were asked to choose sides
and then the real fun began as .one
after another had to sit down as the
words grew harder and hardcr-and
those who have studied the old blue
back spelling book know how hard
some of those words are.
When they had thInned down to
two OH each side-Miss Aiargerct
Clement and Mr.. l.. A. Werts on Miss
Burns side and Miss Jessie Lewis
and Mrs. j. T. West on Mr. Scel's
sidc-excitcment ran high for awhile.
Then Mrs. West and Miss Clement
went down and dead silence reigned
as Mrs. Lewis and Mr.. Werts spelled
away. word after word, with no
thought of missing til finally Mr..
Werts dropped out and Mrs. Lewis
was declared the winner. Mr.. West,
in behalf of the hostess. presented her
with pot of beautiful yellow hya-
cirtnj as the first prize and the SPELL
ing book was presented to Mr.. Blair
Rice, he having had to sit down first.
After this q most tempting salad
course. followed by mints, was serv-
ed
Miss Margeret Clement. the gifted
daughter Of the hostess furnished de-
lightful music during most of the
evening. which was thoroughly
pleasant one to all present.
I Tie guests were: Mrs. Jessie b.
Lewis, MIR. and Mrs. c. F. Cox. Mr..
and Mrs. ]. T. Cox, Mr.. and Mrs. ].
