After Villas death, Dr.. Nodko is
quoted as saying, the remaining

dead chief and the lot fell to Col.
Baca, who bears strong personal
resemblance to Villa. To prevent
the deception from being disclosed
Col. Baca is said TO be surrounded
by his personal bodyguard, who keep
the common soldiers and ranchers
from coming too near. Dr.. Nodko,
according to the papers, had been
administering poison for three

mites f,r these earnest workers. Al
ready the county delegation and the
County Board of Education have
organized and maintained last year
a normal class under the instruction
Of Miss Sallie Stribling. Her work
was the first Of it's kind to be under
taken in the State, outside Of the
Memminger Normal in Charleston.
The explanation of this experiment
is plainly shown by the enrolment
in the several grades. Emphasis Is
everywhere laid on high school work
to the detrlmcnt of elementary work
and TO the injury of a large majority
OF public school pupils. In Oconee
the Sth g'ade enrolment was 3O5;
9Th grade, III; 10th grade, 50,
making total Of 52S high school
pupils. In the four fundamental
grades, the corresponding figures
are: 1st, 2,169; I'd, 915; Sd, 766;
'4th, CTS. The 5th, 9th and 7th
grades need not be given, although
they show progressive decline. The
popular misconception that anybody
who can read, write and multiply is
Qualified to teach the primary grades
III no small measure explains the
lack OF literacy among our people.
children may be forced to enroll in
school, but they cannot be held or
taught except by competent, sympa-
thetic instructors. Each school had
an average enrolment of 90. with an
attendance of Sc. Each teacher had
an average enrolment Of 43, with an
attendance Of 27. These figures
show that the teaching corps is not
afraid Of work, but with only IL
per cent OF its boys and girls COM
pleting g the 10th grade, the public
school system of the county shows
enormous waste.
In only one school was the enroll
ment below II. In only four, was
the average attendance below 12,
But 2S schools ran less than five
months. The average term in town
was 165 days; in the country, 102
days; and for the county. 1O7 days.
minimum term of six mouths
ought to be provided in every school
during 1916-17; and the stronger
schools ought to run seven, eight, or
nine months.
The enrolment of negroes was g.
15l, with an average attendance of
1,3GO--56 per cent. The gain in en-
rollment was only | 1 over last year.
In the negro schools, the girls out
numbered the boys by 25. The ay-
erage term in negro schools was IT
days. and the average salary of the
negro teacher. $84.74.
Some of the desirable improve
ments in the county's educational
system are: A salary of $1,2OO for
the County superintendent; a local
tax In every district; a longer school
term; adjustment Of school district
lines with consolidation of schools;
more attention to the elementary
grades in order to bring about more
promotions and better attendance.
Gratifying progress is shown by the
report, but much remains to be done.

A Talk With the BOYS.

perseverance Master Quality"
10 the Boys on Southern Farms:
| am glad of the fine record the
boys Of the South are making, espe-
cially because l have lived in the
South, and know and love it.
In response to Editor Poe's re-
quest as to what qualities | believe
will help you most to win success
as men or farmers, want to say
that next to high character, which is
the foundation Of all success worth
having, perseverance,, in my judg-
ment, is the master quality.
A boy who wants to accomplish
a particular thing, and Is willing to
stick to it in spite Of opposition and
discouragement, very seldom fails.
Keeping everlastingly at it brings
success more often than any other
quality 1 know Of.
1t is we'll to see the big thing in
what you are doing, also. Raising
corn is not only question of getting
the best yield per acre or of winning
a prize, but it is also the question of
feeding the people of the South and
the whole Nation, so that the boy
who raises the best corn in a very
real sense performs national SER
vice.
The boy who sticks to his job, sees
what it leads to, and doesn't get
scared in advance, is the boy who
wins. You can do nearly anything
you like If you only believe you can.
Most OF the obstacles which stop
people, if you take the average all
through life, are imaginary, any
way. If you want to do a thing
worth doing, and will undertake to
do 1t. and will keep at it undismay-
ed, the chances are very strong that
you will win out.
l wish you all the best kind of
good luck.
Sincerely yours,
Clifford Pinchot.
