candidate for governor Of Texas.

cratic primaries In July. delivered an
address 10 an. Amarillo audience on
Monday evening.
We are frank 20 say that Mr..
rhornason's platform Is in many re-
poets satisfactory He l. PLATA
poken and his promises 70 The peo-
PIE are in all vital matters the same
which the Hon. Pat Neff has been
making during his campaign 81
many months.
Both favor prohibition and woman
suffrage
Both favor economies IN the con.
dact OF the states affairs.
Both favor increased financial
support for the schools OF the state.
from the university to the remote
rural schools. a.
Both are for good roads and a..
vor giving both labor and capital a
squire deal.
Conservation % the states natural
resources and irrigation BY the use
% flood waters. together WITH Fecia-
nation OF swamp lands IN the east
crn part OF the state are favored By
10th.
Thomason opposes a graduated
and tax while Neff favors a land tax
which, IN is final analysis. would
effect half dozen out-of-siate land
owners whose holdings are specula
tive and are In excexs Of a million
acres. Therefore there Is no nate
rial difference here. since Mr.. Neif
has corrected the false impression
hat the tax he proposes would in
any way affect land owners in this
part OF the state.
The impressions gained OF Mr..
Thomson Monday evening are the
sane which We have had since the
beginning Of the campaign. We
Ike the man and we believe that he
sincerely desires to bring about those
things which are for the hes; inter
esis Of the people Of Texas.
We are. therefore. all the more

Mt. Calvary School Improvement
Association has made many improve
ments during the past scholastic year
which have proved advantageous.
Our aim for the year was to Sc
cure Drape shades for theswindows
The sufficient funds to do this were
appointed, but seeing the greater
need of music in our school, we used
this money in purchasing a piano,
which has been a wonderful help to
the school. Septic tanks have been
installed On the grounds, improving
the Sanitary Conditions.
We have also tried to beauty our
school ground, althQ no school ground
equipment has been secured, We have
equipment has been secured. We have
in time to come, may allow us to
say: "a thing of beauty is joy for
ever"
Last, but not least, among our i'm
proyements Is that our membership
of tie Improvement Association has
Increased, and everyone seems to
have taken new interest IN the well
fare Of the school and community.

Dalcho School.

Years ago Dalcho was one OF the
best known schools in the surround
ing country. He star rose and be-
gan to descend, but before that star
set, community pride awoke and be-
gan to draw it back to its original
position.
In nineteen hundred eighteen. the
patrons and trustees became so thor
oughly dissatisfied with the limited
lot and inadequate old building that
definite steps were taken toward the
purchase Of a new lot and the erec-
tion of a new building. Owing to
scarcity Of material and lack Of labor
work progressed slowly, but the
spring Of nineteen hundred and nine
teen found teachers and pupils oc-
ig the best district rural school
buildig in Dillon County.
The slate covered building Is
brick veneer with all exterior wood
work white. Broad concrete steps
lead upon porch adorned with four
stately white columns. Wide double
doors open into a spacious hall from
which one has access to three class
rooms the principals office, the Ii
brary and two side porches. Follow
ing the way the steps lead and turn
ing to the right, one enters an at
tractvie auditorium with a seating
capacity Of four hundred. The stage
is furnished with a crex rug, quarter
ed oak table and chairs, while the

Kesnper Teacherage.

In the summer Of 1919 the Kemp
er school district voted on mill
levy and purchased an old unfinished
dilapidated residence in front Of the
school building and transformed II
into the most attractive looking
teacherage in Dillon County. 1t has
been painted on the outside. and
three rooms and the pantry ceiled. AT
present the house looks as If it were
newly built. 1t is a large six room
house Fireplace in each room) with
pantry, large hallway and porch ex-
tending over half way around the
house. A sitting room and bed room
have been furnished by the school.
This is the best equipped teacherage
in the county, but still it lacks a
great many conveniences.

Kemper School.

Five years ago Kemper school
building was small two room house
Since that time it has been remodel
ed twice and painted inside and out,
side. 1t is now an attractive, well
ventilated building.
About three years ago music
room and one cloak room were add
ed. The following year room fol-
the primary department and two
cloak rooms were built. The primary
room is 2Sx31 1-2 #, with forty six
feet of blackboard. 1t has five large
windows. The building is equipped
with modern desks and recitation
benches.
The rooms are separated by folding
doors and can easily be thrown into
one large hall for an entertainment.
This is an advantage as 1t saves
building an auditorium for the pres
ent. In the future should they decide
to ad another teacher the music room
can be used by the higher grades.
The building and number Of pupils
are amply large enough for q four
teacher school now.
There is only one district in the
county that has voted on more mills
for school purposes than Kemper.
The tax levy for Kemper district is
80 3-4 mills.
Much credit Is due the efficient
board Of trustees who faithfully use
their efforts for the welfare of the
school.

the county, and holding monthly
meetings. This year'it was awarded
two-one for regular meetings and
the other a major prize Of fifty dol
lars for sanitary improvement. This
means that Dalcho is the only school
in the state that in one year installed
Septic tanks, had children examined
by nurse, kept floors oiled, and pro-
vided outdoor games for children.
Dalcho fosters school efficiency,
community spirit, and loyalty to-
county school officers. AS she Is now
better equipped for service than ever
before, may she render service un-
equalled. Let her fulfil the mission
of a real school for the most pro-
gressive wide-awake people Of Dillon
County.

School Improvement Work in Dillon
County.

In practically every state the
school workers advocate some sort
of community organization centering
around the school house. Each state
has its own name for this organiza-
tion and pursues its own policies In
promoting the work.
In South Carolina this organization
has been for years the School Inn
provement Association. supported as
it Is by the state legislature and con-
nected as it Is with the state depart
ment of education, it has had an OPP
porunity to do q type Of community
work that no other agency does or
can possess.
No other county in the state has
accomplished more comparatively
than Dillon County through the &C
tivities of the School improvement
Associations. Soma Of tho larger
counties have larger number OF
local associations and the sum total
Of their activities show greater re-
suits but Dillon is the only county in
the state that has local school i'm
plovement organization connected
with every school in the county and
these 2S local associa tions In pro-
portion to population and to the
rumber Of schools in the county have
accomplished more than the local
associations in any other county in
the state.
The chief reason for the success OF
these associations has been the fact
that in every instance they have set
for themselves a definite aim and
have worked for the accomplishment
of this aim.
The following statement summer

oak seats and heated by a jacketed
stove. Opposite the auditorium is 9
room built for a class room when
growth demands another, but now
fitted with tables and dishes to be
used at entertainments.
The interior wood work through
out the entire building is stained
green. This blends pleasingly with
walls that shade from chocolate
brown through tan to canary ceiling
Each recitation room is furnished
with single desks, hydoplate boards

For two winters, night schools have
been held for adults. The first school
was taught by the day school teach
ers, but last winter special teach
er was employed. The enrolment
was twenty-five. an increase of ten
pupils over the former year. When
commencement was held, twenty-five
dollars was awarded to several for
tunate contestants.
Miss Sellers and Mr.. Epps have
thriving clubs in their respective
lines Of work. One Of Dalcho's pu-
pills won the trip to Winthrop this
summer for creditable work in can

citation.

The Kemper School Improvement
Association has held nine monthly
meetings the past year. 1t has Civ
en- two entertainments this year and
raised s186.53. The aim adopted by
this association last fall is as fol-
lows: To improve the school yard
and the yard around the teacherage,
to light the school building, to en-
large the library and buy pictures
for the school room walls.
Up to the present time the only
part Of this aim that has been realiz-
ed is that the yard around the teach
erage has been cleaned of. A sum-
mer house over the school pump is
being planned to be built in the near
future. The Association has raised
enough money to fully carry out its
aim.
