LITTER FROM Mr. HAND
Supt. c. NJ. Wilson,
NeWbprrV & C.

Sdpt. c. VI. Wilson,
Newberry. S C.
Dear Mr. Wilson: = foand il I'LL
possible to answer yoHr letter before
this morning. AN very much irte:-
ested in the situation al Prosperity.
and sincerely hope that the people
Of that community vii realize their
opportunity to improve their sch03:
by making it what it oagnt to be ami
what it may be made. Ever since
have known the school the chief dif-
fcnlty has been the lack of teaching
force sufficient to maintain high
grade school To this must be ad-
ded the low salaries that have been
paid to the teachers. For a long time
and up until the last two years the
school was running with 4-mill loca:
tax, while other communities Of the
same size and property valuation were
levying six mills, eight mills. ana
ten mills. It is a fact that for the
current year Prosperity is paying
amongst the lowest salaries Of the
high school towns in the State. Her
principal she pays $4,000 per month
her male assistant $4,000 a month.
her five women teachers are paid
$500 month each. The town Of
NavesTilla pays her principal a little
more than Prosperity is gaying TINS
year to both Mr. Wheeler and NJ.
Be6enbaugh. If the people of Pros
perty intend to maintain school they
had just as we'll make up their minds
to increasing their teachers salaries
Unless 7 have made some mistake.
the rating Of Prosperity in units for
this years 10Th grade is 10.7. This
is higher than it has been in recen:
years. Of course. this does not en-
tit'n these nupils to COLLEGE entrance
without examinations Three years
ago the colleges of the state, Wit,
9iAout two nvceDtions. resolved to ar
cent 10 students with fewer than u
units. excent by examinations. Sever
al of the COLLEGES since that time have
jncrnasod their entrance ranuiremenrs
to ii units by certifcte. That is, /:
ruits r'ust be offered or on eXamina-
ton taken.
A few words of explanation as 10
rating The rD1e of the State Depart
ment of Education for several years
has ,heen to allow no credit for less
than half unit, or for less than 90

t-;s regulation fell rather heavily oc
the Prosperity school in the following
subject: Ii the Hth grade for the
YEAR 19l5-l91G Physics and Agricul-
ture were given one period a week;
in the same year Domestic Science
was given one double period a week
through the year. The next year the
same class as the 9Th grade had Phys
ical Geography two times wee,l
through the year and Agriculture.
cnce q week during the year Since
rome of these subjects was pursued
long enough for half unit credit NJ
credit was allowed
From my point of view, and 7 hope
that l am wholly unbiased in the
matter, it is highly necessary for tha
people to increase their levy for the
school in order that they may raise
their salaries sufficient to employ and
retain teachers capable of doing first
class work and enough of them to do
it, This remark is in no sense in
tended as a reflection upon any OF
the former teachers Or the present
teachers. But everybody familiar with
school situation knows that seven
good teachers can not be kept in any
school at the salaries Prosperity i5
paving this year I could place ten
S150000 principals within week, and
I could place p women teachers a
from $500 to So co. if I had them.
DO not permit the p2oD'e Of Pros
peritv 70 think fer one moment Of
letting their school lag behind. There
never was a greater need for effic:-
ent schools than now. Not until Pros
peritv began to draw high school pu-
n:iils from outside the district was it
more than barely able to meet the
rn1Nl]0NTn fStUifeH!cnJS lot LIe h-SI
school appropriation. Last year there
were 81 pupils enrolled in the high
school. Twenty-seven of these were
from outside the district. This year
the enrolment has dropped to 30 III
the high school and 26 of these are
from outside the district. The re-
naming p inside the district would
not entitle the school to stat aid.
The school can not afford to lose
these outside pupils, nor can it hold
these OUTSIDE pupils unless them suf-
fcient service have written rather
lergthily and rather pointedly De-
cause am interested in the situation
Very truly yours,
w. H. Hand.

The fact that the usual prelim-

enable Mr.. Peay and Mr.. Shrop-
