John E. Carroll, superintendent of
education Of York county is teaching
in the summer school for teachers at
Furman University Greenville. While
he is away the superintendent's office
is in charge OF his son, Mr.. Milus Car
roll. Mr.. Carroll is teaching practical
mathema tics in the summer school at
Furman. He is teaching the teachers
how to teach practical arithmetic. Mr..
Carroll's idea is that there are lot OF
rural school teachers who do not know
a great deal about ordinary arithmetic
that they should know. For instance
there are very few rural school
teachers in York county at least who
know how to calculate an increase or
decrease in a special school district
levy. He is teaching them that and
lot of other valuable information rela-
tive to the connection of the rural
schools Of a county with the state de-
partment of education. Prior to cleo
d tion as county superintendent of
education more than twenty years ago,
Mr.. Carroll was a teacher in the pub
lie schools Of York county and good
one too. There are many successful
1 men and women in York county who
got their schooling from him and in
view Of his long and practical expert
ence he is amply fitted to hold chair
in the summer school at Furman.
DR.. w. NJ. Kennedy Of Yorkville and
| DR.. w. +. McGill of Hickory Grove
have returned to their respective
homes after attending the meeting of
the state Dental association in George
town. They made the trip by auto
mobile, driving DR.. McGill's Ford for
a total of AIS miles, one day being
consumed in going and another on the
return. They went by Chester, Great
Falls, Camden, Sumter, Manning,
| l<ingstrec, and Andrews, and return
ed by Columbia and Winnsboro. The
only car trouble experienced was on
the return trip just out of Winnsboro
when they broke spring. "We found
the roads good all the way" said DIR.
! Kennedy in speaking OF the trip yes
terday. I'VE struck one piece of bad
read between Sumter and Manning on
the trip down, where the state high
way department was, engaged at
work, but on the whole the reads
were excellent all the way Asked
about the crops down state Dr. Ken
nedy said that cotton and corn as
rule were quite poor corn especially
SO while in some sections the grass
had so taken the cotton crop that it
had been abandoned. The best cotton
crop was observed in Clarendon
county, although it was not up:to the
usual standard anywhere along the
! route. The tobacco crop appeared to
be good in each county traycrsed on
the trip from Sumter on to George
town, the farmers evidently paying
more attention to its cultivation than
to cotton and corn. Georgetown ap-
pears to be quite prosperous" said DR..
Kennedy. There are big lumber
plants there which are going good and
farmers of the county have 4 good
thing in truck farms. Little cotton
is raised, in Georgetown.
