Our school will be enlarged this
year by part Of the Sumter City
High school, also by all official
connection with the Williams School
of Sumter County. and a part of
the Rift School of this County. We
are glad to have all these good peo-
pie and promise to do our best for
them.
We promise our patrons our best
efforts during this year to make
their school effective and worthy OF
the place we hold among the Ac-
credited Teachers Training Schools
of the State. We do not expect
full sympathy and understanding
in this effort for the benefit of the
school. We could the more readily
have hearty sympathy and support
if we were to declare for pass for
every pupil. and grade.of SO plus
for each pupil, not regarding the
ability of the child and the effort
put forth by the parent and the
teacher, but we do not declare for
this, but instead We say that we
must give full merit to the child
whose parent puts his best in the
child who has competent teacher,
and who gets results it is the future
of the child and the school for
which we must care. 1t would be
our delight to cater to the pride
and whims of the patrons and citl'
zens, but we are doing a work for
eternity, for the child and for the
State. Hence. upward and onward
must go those things that promote
the education Of the child that the
State gives to our care and keeping,
and a grade Of SO plus does moi
signify education. 1t is wrok. Et'
ernal work upon the part. Of schoo
official, parent, teacher and chic
that counts.
