AMONG THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS.


First, | wish OF call the attention
suggestions and some school news
in order that the patrons and teachers
alike may keep in closer touch with
the schools and better understand just
what the schools are doing.
Finst. wish to call the attention
of the teachers to some of the meth
DDS which have been used in teaching
certain subjects. / have noticed that
only a few are teaching arithmetic
by analysis. This is undoubtedly the
best way by which a student can best
understand the subject. The patrons
can do good service to the schools by
checking up the student to see if he
understands his work.

The National Educational Assoca-
ton has designated the week Of Dec.
4th to 10th as Educational week for
the United States. A special feature
of this week is to bring about better
cooperation between the school and
the community by organizing Com
munity clubs The later feature is not
a new thing in this county. 1t has
been tried out and is success. | call
your attention to those Clubs which
made exhibits during the County Fair
in September. The Club at Wilders-
vile has furnished its school with
fuel for the Winter and has installed
new well through the cooperation of
the people. Rock Hill has made need
ed improvements on its church and
school building through the same
source. Let's not wait until Deem
Der to organize these Clubs but get
busy at. once and plan our work for
next year. Which school will be the
first to take this step?
