URGES UNIFORM
SCHOOL STUDIES
Head Of Plains Schools Tells
Grand Jury of Embarrassing
Situotion

A single item in the presentments
OF the Sumter county grand jury,
as published this week, was of wide
interest to educators throughout the
county The item was thai recon-
mending uniform text books in all Of
the schools Of the county as of great
Importance.
The master was brought to the at
tentlon Of the grand jury by Thomas
morgan, principal OF the Flains
schools, and came from definite
heed, he afterwards stated.
Although the various county
schools are supposed to have uniform
courses, particularly the high schools,
ana use exactly the same books, =
sald ne, I'VE have no uniformity. And
the RESULTS are very discouraging,
especially at this time Of year, be-
cause of the great amount of NOV
ing being done, If we have the same
books in the same grades in every
school in the county, with prescrib-
W ON CORCIGua On IlC-
scflbed schedule, il would be possible
lor pupil to move from one school
TO another with practically no inter-
Iuptlon of work, no embarrassments
1or TIE pupil, no difficulties for the.
teat her-and, very important, no
new books for the parents to bug to
conform with those used in the school
% which the pupil have moved.
The county board is supposed to
oes'gnate the course for the high
school, the state department of edu-
ea9on outlining the course for the
'cWer grades, but if this is done the
spLescrlbed course is not being follow
s.Va IN all the schools. Instead, we
nave a considerable multiplicity of
DOCKS in the various schools, and it|
- with the greatest difficulty chat
inc pupils are able to change from
enc school to another when chang
ing place of residence"
