TOWARDS THE IDEAL

In the business world, in home life
and everywhere over the world peo'
PIE are striving towards an ideal
that ideal of perfection or that stand
ard that each individual sets up fol
himself. This is but natural. 1t is q
characteristic of human beings-that
each one strives, wishes and hopes
for something better; something high
er; something above the ordinary
plane of life. Thus it is that every
town, every business corporation,
and every household has its ideal.
Thus, it is that the Abbeville High
school too, is striving towards its
ideal. The standard or ideal for
which. our school is striving is of
course, far from being materialized,
but is it not good thing to think and
to talk about this ideal Abbeville
school? For with these well known
methods, many things may be ac-
complished.
One of the standards for which we
are striving is the ideal form of dis
cipline in our school by the honor sys-
tenn. That is that part of the respon-
sibility of discipline is placed on the
high school students as well as upon
the superintendent, the principal and
teachers. For instance let us compare
the system with the government of
our town.
There is a mayor and a council
chosen by the people. This is the same
plan in the honor system. There is a
head composed of the superintendent
the principal, and the teachers. Next
comes the body of pupils. These pupils
are not to be the sole ones in trying
to keep order and discipline. Just as
in our town the citizens are to help
keep down disorder so are the pupils
to do their share.
1t is the duty of each pupil to
report such cases of disorder and
lack of honor as he thinks is neces-
sary. Such small offenses as chewing
gum, eating, and throwing spit balls
are left for the teachers observation.
But such acts as cheating, misbehav-
ior in society, and breaking into the
school house are to be reported. The
governing body is to decide what |

proper Gander)


That the amount raised and spent
10" public schools in South Carolina
for tie year 191S-1919 was $685..
1000 is, as Dr.. Swearingen, superin,
tendent of education, says a matter
for the people of South Carolina to
congratulate themselves upon and he
is well within the bounds Of reason
able estimate when he adds that the
income must be doubled before any
thing approximating an adequate
standard of school support can be
set up.
We are approaching the moment
when there will be a place in school
for every child of school age in
South Carolina. The buildings and
equipment of the white schools have
been Immediately improved the last
20 years and the day has already ar
rived when the district is excep-
tional that is content to depend upon
revenues not supplemented by a spe-
cial tax.
When we have comfortable
school house in every district open
Sc weeks in the year and the school
conducted by ttachers of average at
tainments, we shall have taken the
first step in popular education. Other
steps equally important and equally
expensive will be required before
popular education in the desirable
sense shall be realized.
In all South Carolina is there to-
day one public school of the first or
der in merit? We doubt it. Every
where the teachers are called upon to
instruct and govern two 70 four
times as many children as they ought
to have in their charge. The prin-
cipal advantage that the private
school has over the public school is
that it has plenty of teachers. That
is why so many wealthy people pat
ronize the expensive prep" school,
and that is why their sons and daugh-
ters so often enter college with their
sons and daughters so often enter
college with long start over public
school graduates.
In South Carolina is no public !

IRWIN S. COBB IN KENTUCKY

Lack of self-appreciation was
never a fault of a true Kentuckian.
Some of us are, may say, almost
passionately addicted to ourselves.
There is a legend that Kentuckians
are greater of stature than the citi-
zens of any other State with the eX-
ception of Tennessee. I think this
impression is due to the fact that
every time a Kentuckian remembers
where he came from he rears back
so far he seems at least eighteen
inches taller than he really is. We
are one of the breeds that can strut
sitting down.
"Unaccustomed as 1 am to public
drinking, I find that guests at a
public dinner do not bear with a
speaker so kindly as they did in the
days before wine, women and song
were succeeded by Bevo, your own
wife and congregational singing.
Her mint patches may lanquish
vainly for the Kentucky julep,
which originated before the Revolu-
tion and which some people think
had a good deal to do with bringing
it on. Her distilleries may be con-
verted into fertilizer works, her cor
ner taverns may turn into delicates-
sen shops, her Colonels no longer
be full Of corn, and her corn des-
tined never again to bring cheer to
her Colonels. The tobacco trust, fol-
lowing the example of it's prototype
of the insect world the. tobacco
worm, may cut down the second of
her great crops to the vanishing
point where no longer the head of
Columbia will be wreathed about
with the fragrant incense of hurley
leaf, but all the same, to US, she'll
forever be the State where the sum
shines the brightest, the State which
we love and which tonight we toast
in sparkling vichy.
"Her glories can never be dim
ned. Blue laws may cut down our
but we'll have our night
'iders left"

punishment shall be inflicted upor
the offender. Of corse, their decis
| ION must meet the approval of the
faculty.
We ask you to consider this mat.
ter. In the business world, do mer
hesitate to expose wrong doors?
Schools are meant to prepare the fu.
ture citizens. Suppose no citizen ex.
poses the wrong doer, what would be
the state of the country? There is
but one answer-anarchy in its worst
form. This system increases the pu-
pills sense of honor. He will behave
to keep the other pupil from telling
n him. Then gradually he will realize
that he is doing the right thing and
will see how much better it is to do
the right thing.
Some will say, 81 don't want to tell
on this person because want to stay
in with the crowd" That statement
will show that there is something
lacking in the pupil, that he will not
stand for the principle of right, and
that he lacks the courage to stand
for right-the thing that makes a
man or woman.
This is to be accomplished by a
slow process. 1t cannot be brought
about in day, a week or even in
several terms. 1t is process of slow
and tedious development. A high
sense of school honor has to be in
stilled into the pupils and gradually
they must be made to realizt that
there is such thing as school honor
and that it is only a part of that
great moral code that makes up our
consciousness of right and wrong.
Whether we want our school to be an
ideal one will be shown by the a.
doption or the rejection of this
method of discipline.

ATLANTA, Jan. 9. - The ddvis

tegested in such move, the session
to be held in Atlanta Monday, Jan

occasion, point to the fact that there

and the conclave will also have its
guests George w. Persons, a proml-

Among the important features 10
be discussed at the meet is the ques-

phases Of the real estate business
tending to discover whether or not
the men of that business in The state
consider such an organization the
proper method of building up the
ethics Of the profession, thereby put

of securing such cooperation as to
insure constructive measures for the
benefit of the entire state and Of
doing the things which will work
best toward harmony and smooth OPP
Grafton between all realtors of the
state of Georgia, and kindred lines.
Particular interest is added to
the meeting because it Immediately

be attended by the most prominent
realty men of the United States.

Half Ton of Meal Worth Ton
of Seed AS Fertilizer

MIR. FARMER, have you given
AVA real thought to whether you are
doing the right thing in holding your
cotton seed for fertilizer, instead Of
taking them to the oil mill and swap
ping them for meal to use for the
same purpose? Probably lou have
given some good, hard serious
thought to the subject. But you
probably are Of the opinion that ton
of meal is worth more, and prob
ably little less, FOR fertilizer, than
a ton Of seed and believe a swap
on the mill basis would be decidedly
to your advantage.
However, this seems not to be
fact. According to expert analysis,
a half ton of meal contains nearly
the same fertilizer ingredient that a
ton Of seed contains. The mills
here are giving 1900 pounds Of meal
for a ton of seed, which represents
a gain Of nearly so per cent, if this
analysis is correct, in favor of the
farmer. At the same time, it sup
plies the oil mill with raw material
on which to operate and employ
labor and manufacture a product
that will bring money into the South
instead of going to waste in the
ground.

NO CHANCE FOR
&c TAX REFUND
Constitutionality Of Old
Levy On Cotton Is
Cleared Up

ATLANTA, Jan. 6-The many eff
forts which have been made to secure
from the United States government
. refund Of the sos, 100000 cotton
tax collected shortly after the Civil
War have all been based on The mis-
taken idea that the United STATE
Supreme court held the cotton tax
to be unconstitutional.
The facts, which have just beer
cleared up, are these:
In 1866 a Mr.. Warrington Of Mem
his, sought to enjoin the collector
If internal revenue in that district,
whose name was Saunders, from col
Letting the cotton tax, on the ground
that the law creating the tax Wa
unconstitutional. The court held
that the law was unconstitutional
and the case of Harrington versus
Saunders was taken to the United
States Supreme court on Dec. o,
1867. On February 20. 1871, the ST
IRENE court decided the case. The
vote of the eight judges was evenly
divided, four and four, and the ef-
feet of the tic was 20 uphold the
constitutionality of the tax. At that
time, when the vote of the judges
was evenly divided and no opinion
was written, the case was not includ-
{ d in the Supreme court repor,s. For
his reason the case does not appear
IN the reports and is not mentioned
in the index digest of the reports.
