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

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 that recon-
mendlng uniform text books i'll all Of
the schools of the county as of great
Importance.
The matter was brought to the at
tentlon OF the grand jury by Thomas
Morgan, principal Of the Flains
schools, and came from definite
need he afterwards stated.
Although the various county
schools are supposed to have uniform
courses, particularly the high schools,
and use exactly the same books"
SAID he, 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 preserih-
NJ " w SOC CONClcu OIl JIC-
Scrloed schedule, it would be possible
Tor a pupil to move from one school
TO another with practically no inter-
luptlon of work, no embarrassments
Tor the pupil, no difficulties for the
teacher-and, very important, no
new books for the parents to buy to
conform with those used in the school
70 which the pupil have moved.
The county board is supposed to
uesgnate the course for the high
ScEool, the state department of edu-
catlon outlining the course for the
lo"er grades, but if this is done the
prescribed course is not being follow
So IN all the schools. Instead, we
nave a considerable multiplicity of
books In the various schools, and it
Is with the greatest difficulty that
