This Is to inform the public of the
mistaken ideas that were probably
conceived of the referred to school
by reading the article, "rhe High
schools, published in The Keowee
Courier Of last week.
The trustees employed such teach
ers as are capable Of instructing the
pupils and rendering such service as
the community needs. This term of
school has been in progress for five
months; the work thus far accom-
pl1shed has given satisfaction to the
trustees and to all who patronize the
school. Then why should that wri-
ter, VINO has never given any service,
write such a scandalous article about
the school OF which she knows moth
ing! Her ignorance Of the school Is
MANIFESTED by her continuous alb
sence from the school. The writer
even acknowledged that she had been
informed of what she wrote. This
amounts to about as much as any
other hearsay in which truth Is ig-
nored.
Yes, the school and members of
the Improvement Association cheer
ed, sang and yelled at the raising of
the United States flag over their
school. Every one Is glad they did
1t, and twill never be regretted, for
they love and honor their God, their
nation, their homes and their school.
The pupils are taught to respect
the ministers Of the Gospel, not
praise them, and to sincerely yield to
God their utmost devotedness.
Please understand that the children
are not taught to advertise their
Christianity to the public on their
door posts and housetops as their
foes have done and are doing at pres
ent.
The public is implored to visit the
school In person and find out for
themselves the condition of the
school and the work that is being
done by the teachers and the I'm
provement Association. Please do
not let the pessimistic article of last
weeks paper influence you as to the
work OF the respective schools.
