Uncommon Sense
Plan
BY JOHN BLAKE

TITIES are congeSted. and unhealth-
- full. and ugly and hard to get about
in because they just grew.
Many of them are beautiful in spots
and pleasant enough to live inf one
has enough money to live in the most
desirable parts Of them.
But always there are slums. where
N" houses are dark and dingy, and the
streets narrow and dirty.
Even little towns have their slums,
usually in the outskirts that are scat
centers. left 70 decay because trade or
dwelling sections have gone elsewhere.
A Nd the reason why cities are always
"A ragged and patchy and not at all
what they ought to be is because no.
body plans them until too late.
\ great builder named Hausmann did
max" over Paris 10 some extent, laying
out great bOUlcvards, and setting gvs-
TEN on which the rest Of the city has 20

which could not be built over, and these

vidod plan for it.
But the plan was only half followed.
with the result that much Of the city is

lightful place in which to live.
But it Is TOO late to make the old
cities over. People sett'e in homes and
will not leave them, and the people de-
eide what shall be done about rebuild
Ing.
We speak of city planning today
partly because such n thing has just
been suggested for New York, but
chiefly because the ragged and irregular
growth of cities is much like the ragged
and irregular growth OF human lives

OUR COLUMBIA LETTER

Mr.. John K. Aull, born newspa-
per man, and if we do say it, one OF
the best in the state and who knows
news story when he sees it and VINO
then can serve it to the readers IN as
good style as any one, has agreed to
send The Herald and News letter
for each issue at least during the ses-
sion of the legislature covering the
doings of that body. So if you want
to keep up with the doings OF the
legislature and have the work served
in the best style and so that the keep
ing up will be easy you better be sure
that your name is on our mailing list.
We hope to be Strengthened out
now and that we will be able to make
the mails and to give you all the news
in town and county. and to make a
real newspaper. That is our business
and we do not mind the work, but
like it.

A VERY FINE ADDRESS
TO NEWBERRY TEACHERS

Mr.. D. L. Lewis state supervisor OF
rural schools made one of the best and
most practical talks to the teachers
at the court house on Saturday that
it has been our pleasure to hear IN
a long time. The pity is that more
of the teachers of the county were not
present to hear him.
I hope that l may be able to have
Mr.. Lewis come back some time dur
ing this session to make the same
address when we can have more of
the teachers present. 1t was one OF
those plain and practical talks that
can not help being beneficial to the
| interested teacher.
! He told of the Importance of teach
ing English in the right way and of
! writing. and that the teacher should
be the community leader and help ere
ate sentiment where it is practicable
to get schools consolidated so that
one or even two and three and four
! teachers should not have to under
take to teach eight and tenh grades
generally to the hurt of the lower
grades which are of so much impor'
tance to the child
He said that the fourth and fifth
grades were really the most impor'
tant in the school life of the child
And it so often happens that these
very grades are the ones that of nee
essity in the small schools do not gel
the attention they should have.
He made another suggestion Which
agrees with my way of thinking, anc
that is that in many of the school;
the daily session is too short, and hi
favored the double daily session fol
the schools and especially the rura
schools, and in this agree, though II
many instances it is not favored b!
the parents or the teachers.
And his suggestion that after tht
schools had all opened it would be
good thing 10 have i three or fou

WITH PLEASURE

We had no intention of starting
anything when we made the simple
mention of the health unit in recent
issue. But even the small mention is
going to result in good to the extent
that it will be the means of giving the
people the correct information as to
some of the work of the unit.
We really did not know what
amount the unit had with which to
operate. Nor were we certain from
what source the income was derived,
except that the county agreed to put
up $4,000 en- condition that similar
amount or amounts came from some
other source or sources, and we were
under the impression that $4,000
came from the state and that $4,000
came from the federal department
somewhere. That, as we recall, was
the statement given out when the unit
was first established. Without look
ing at the Newberry supply bill we are
still under the impression that the
first appropriation was $4,000. The
last supply bill for this county calls
for $4,000 from July /, 1921, to De-
cember 81, 1921, which is at the rate
of $4,000 per year.
We take pleasure in printing the
letter of DR.. L. A. Riser, who is in
charge of this work in the state. If
we recall correctly, the act establish
ing the unit calls for monthly re-
port of expenditures to be submitted
to the county supervisor or the high
wav commission now. We have made
inquiry, just for information, how
much was spent for this purpose. No
one seemed to know. At any rate DR..
Riser's letter confirms the statement
that the county puts up $4,000 year.
We are printing in this issue also
the report of the director Of the unit.
That does not say anything about the
expenditures.
Since this matter as come up we
will say also, that we were under the
impression the nurse supported 'oy
the Red Gross was to be a sort of
community and emergency nurse. In
so far as the emergency part of it
we know that we were wrong in that
impression, because case came un-
der our own observation when nurse
could not be obtained in or out of
town, and the unit nurse was too busy
or too tired to go even for one night
in an emergency when a nurse could
not be had. Too busy was the reply.
And another instance more recently
where there is case that needs at
tention, and appeal was made to the
Red Gross or the unit ind the reply
was that the nurse was too busy or
the work of the unit was to look af-
ter school children and there was no
time for anything else. For this case
we do not vouch. We at least are
getting information. Not kicking.
If 1000 out of 1900 children in the
schools of the county are "defects"
and if the unit can help them
there certainly is not much time for
anything else, if the unit is curing
the defects. Or even helping them.
Now we are not kicking against the
health unit. We are simply stating
facts as they come to US.

was held on Tuesday on the PROPOSE
ton of voting off seven mills tax for

the good people Of this district re-

I hope now that all the good peo-
pie of this community will wipe off the
slate and take new start and forget
all differences and get together and
build a real high school in this dis
trict, as they can do if they will all
work together for the good of the

NOT KICKING

A gentleman and prominent clIl-
zen of the town said to the editor the
other day that we were always kicking
and knocking. He has made the same
remark aforetime. We deny that The
Herald and News is kicker. We try
to say what we think, and try to say
it honestly and courteously, and as we
think it is the duty of newspaper
to say it. If there are things that we
do not think are for the best interest
of this community we say so, and II
there are those things that we feel
are for the best interests of the COM
munity we say so. 1t is the only
manner of getting at what the public
thinks. And besides we do not con-
ceive it to be the prerogative or the
duty of newspaper to drift along
with the current. Of course, it is cas-
ier to take the course Of least resist
ance, but sometimes we imagine it
takes a good bit of exertion always to
find out just which that course is.
We have made it a rule to be frank
and to speak and say how things ap-
pear to US, and we grant the same
privilege to others. We should feel
quite bad and out of place if every
one agreed with US on public matters
and if they should always agree with
US we would wonder if it were really
.sn
Our record is writ in the columns of
The Herald and News for the past
35 years and more and we make
bold to say that We can prove by
that record that we have stood cut
strongly for all constructive measures
and all enterprises that were for the
betterment of this community and
such measures and enterprises have
had at/all times our earnest and ar
dent support.
We have differed very frequently
with some of cur friends, and we
have rot hesitated to say so, and yet
we did not and do not now consider
that kicking in any sense. 1t was
Seator Tillman who said of a promi-
nent citizen some two decades ago
that he was a mighty fine fellow but
was too d-n unanimous, and some
times we feel that We would not like
to have that said of us.
is what is meant by kicking then we
are a kicker.
The remark of the gentleman in
question was in regard to what the
Herald and News said about the New
berry health unit. We were not kick
ing. We were simply saying how ii
appeared to US. We simply felt that
it cost more than it was worth to the
community and we said so. If the
people who foot the bill think other
wise we are not going to raise any
further objection, though our 9pin.
ion has not in the slightest undergone
any change. We are publishing today
the report of the director and the
nurse. From this repot it would seen
that all the children Of Newberrl
county are either defects or defect

that is fine for me. And then 1t IS

we could just get the federal govern
