Friday morning | attended the
.ormal opening of the Silverstree'
chool. l was pleased to see such q
arge enrolment at the opening Of
his school. There were 73 present
N Friday and that was a good be-
inning as the work does not start
Until Monday morning, but it was a
inc idea to have the formal opening
md get the classification of the chill
iren and give them an opportunity
. secure their books and be ready
o begin work regularly on Monday
never go to the Silverstreet school,
,ut I feel how great an opportunity
he good people of this community
re letting slip from them to have q
:eal high school with term o. nine
months, if they would just get to,
.ether and make up their minds to
AVE it. I have told them about 1t
line withouta end, and still they dc
Tot see, and the children are moving
light on along down the road and
,hey will not come this way any
more. L mention this from time to
line only because I have an interest
n trying to do what is best for the
hildren. If any one thinks that 1t
of any personal benefit to me fol
he establishment of a high school al
;ilverstreet he is entitled to another
opportunity to think, because abso-
ately all the interest l have is to 90
That is best for the children of the
ommunity. This l will continue to
% and to tell the people so long as
hold my present position regardless
# any other consideration. And
here is fine opportunity right here
t Silverstreet to have one OF the
,est high schools in the county. They
ave the children near enough and
hey have the property so that the
AK would not be great, and in fact
: would be no more than-it is now.
hope the day is not far distant when
he people may be able to see the
opportunity that is theirs, and VIII
:ome to realize that it is their chill
lren who are suffering for lack OF
yision on the part of the people OF
ne community. The school this year
$ taught by Mr.. Merchant of Saluda
5 principal and Mrs. Suber who was
,ere last year and Miss Rose Nichols.
dr. Merchant is a recent graduate of
lemscn ard Mrs. Suber is gradu-
tie of Newberry and Miss Nichols is
:, graduate of Winthrop. There is
10 reason why there should not be a
inc school here this session, and |
believe there will be. made talk
the children and there were a few
# the patrons and friends OF the
chool present.
Monday morning, that is this Mon
lay, l am going to the opening of the
.oag Lane school. AS before stated
he building has been rolled out on
he highway and a beautiful lot OF
our acres has been secured and
Shen the trustees get through fixing
.p the grounds and painting the
,ouse it will be a place Of beauty.
Misses Eula and Chloe Epting are the
.eachers for this session. They are
experienced teachers and fine COM
aun:ty workers and we are going to
,ave good results here this session.
The people OF this community work
ogether in the right sort of way and
re always ready to do what is best
or the school and the community
nd they do it in the spirit of cooper
alton, and that is the c2ly way to &C
omplish anything wort: while.
Tuesday morning ] am going out
o Bush River school which opens on
Ionday. The same teachers are
,ack in the same class rooms and they
will do good work here. Misses
fonts and Livingston are good work
RS and that is what counts in the
school room as in other things.
I desire again to call the attention
# all teachers to the fact that they
must have state certificate in order
% be paid, and that all certificates
hat have expired must be renewed,
and that I will be more than glad to
assist any teacher to secure a certlfl-
cate. If the teacher is not at fault
n securing certificate or in having
one renewed that is all right, but if
you have your certificate and it has
