allowance be increased to five dollars
per month for every pupil, which is
nearer right. With a hundred pupils
from the outside at this figure our
income would be swelled by the sum
Of five thousand dollars, a sum
enough greater than what we are
now receiving to enable US to en-
ploy two first class male instructors.
If We gave one hundred thousand
dollars to the Baptist High School or
to any other high school, the interest
on the gift would be, at seven per
cent, seven thousand dollars annu-
ally. We're we to contribute even half
this amount annually to the local
high school, we could have a faculty
of both male and female teachers.
This money might be raised every
year by private subscription. There
are thirty-ive men in Abbeville who
can give hundred dollars each year
for this purpose and not know they
have. given the amount thirty min
utes after the giving. Of course we
are all miserly and want the other
fellow to do it, and We are afraid
that we will do something for some-
body else, but the time has come for
us to open up and be, as it were, real
sports. Better still it would be, that
instead Of giving one hundred thous-
and dollars to bring an outside in
stitution to Abbeville, we gave the
cne hundred thousand dollars to the
board of trustees as an endowment
fund for the high school, the income
from it to 60 along with the present
income to support the double facul-
ty.
Men and women of Abbeville, we
can do something, if we will. Are
we willing to do it, or are we to be
sluggards in the field where all men
are called to work in this good day
the field of education?

A HIGH SCHOOL.


for the location of the Bap-
tist Preparatory School in Able
vile. We would still like to see the
institution located here. If we can
not get that institution a high school
under any other jurisdiction would be
welcomed here, and much could be
done to encourage its coming. 1t
would be a good thing from an edu-
cational standpoint and a good thing
for the town from business stand
poins.
But just now we believe that great
er good may come to all the people
of the city by building up great
high school here which is open to the
public and which any boy or girl of
the county may attend free of cost.
1t is a matter of common knowledge
that it is expensive to send students
to boarding schools, especially those
of the preparatory classes. 1t is un-
fortunate in the life of an undevcl-
oped student that at the preparatory
school age he must De sent away
from home. 1t were great deal bit
ter for this community j: W. might
aeal al the boys and eli the girls Of
:'e community to a pullit nigh
s"hool of our own, al if We had u
high school open to all th@ high
school pupils of the county.
And that is what we may have.
TIE people OF this city by nc un-
certain voice have declared for a
modern high school. In little while
construction of a building which
will accommodate all the high school
students of the city and of the sur
rounding country will be completed.
How may we make it most useful?
We answer that by saying that this
may be accomplished by putting on
the faculty a double set Of teachers
one of ladies to teach the young
ladies, and one of men to train the
boys. It is a noteworthy fact that
boys in high schools taught by men
do much better work than when at
the same age they are taught by
ladies. Boys at the age of fifteen or
sixteen feel that it is a humiliation
for them to recite to ladies. 1t is
said that they do not develop as a
rule as fast as the girls. Them may
be true but we doubt it. We believe
that with teachers who appeal to
them they will do as good work, per
haps better work, than the girls.
Had we school of this kind we
might expect boys and girls too to
come to this school from Antreville
Sharon, Calhoun Falls and from
every other section of the county
With the good roads they might easi
ly come from home each day. W.
would be giving the boys at home 6
good opportunity, the best of opppr
tunities, and we would be leadingkir
the matter of education in: the, coun
ty, leadership which belongs to US
and one which we should gladly &C
cept.
1t would be a great deal cheaper
than sending to a boarding schoo
as we have said. All students woult
be spared the expense of board ant
many other expenses. Besides thi
the state is now appropriating thre'
dollars per month for every higl
school pupil who attends a state higl
school without his own district. i
I'VE could bring in a hundred from
the outside, it would mean an in
come of twenty,seven hundred dol
lars in addition to the income from
this district. The State Superintend
ent of Education proposes that thi
