SCHOOL NEWS
y
iBy JULIUS L. SHARPE. County
Superintendent of Education.

1t is expected that quite large
number of Lexington county teach
ers will attend the State Teachers
Association which is being held in Co
day. Holidays are being granted
Thursday and Friday.
The next regular meeting Of the
County Teachers Association will be
held in the Lexington High school
building, Saturday March 18th. The
program and a full announcement
will be published in next weeks
paper. This will probably be the
last meeting and every teacher is
urged to attend.
The question of State Aid has been
worrying both teachers and trustees
for some time and in order that they
may lie in possession of the facts con-
cerning the status Of each particular
class of schools, the following let
ter from Mr.. Swearingen is quoted:
"Supt. julius Il. Sharpe.
Lexington, S. G.
Dear Sir:
Your letter Of March 18th con-
ccrning State Aid came this morning.
'Undcr the Appropriation Bill as
finally passed. ] now think that all
rural graded school applications can
be paid in full. l hope to pay these
applications during March. Money
shall be forwarded as soon as the
State Treasurer informs me that
money is in the treasury.
High school applications under the
General Law will probably be paid in
full. OF course, it is impossible for
me to determine every detail until
the facts concerning outside enroll
mcnt and attendance have been re-
ported. This money shall be sent
out perhaps about May 10th.
'Vocaticnal classes will be paid in
full. This money will be sent out
about May 18th CT Goth.
1.-The payment of cQualiZing aDpli-
cations is a big problem. The post
ponement Of taxes cOmplicatcs this
situation almost beyond measure. IL
effect, taxes will hardly be collected
now before September. although the
resolution of postponement says June
let. The loop comes in the clause
"Provided," That executions shall is
sue June 1st, but shall not be put
in the hands OF the sheriff for collec-
ton before September 1st.
MY present plan is to take the
auditors figures for the three mill
Constitutional tax and also for all
local district taxes. Upon this basis
equalizing applications can be calcu-
lated and payment can be made dur
ing the first half of June.
. ''All these questions shall be fully
discussed at the spring conference Of
county superintendents. I shall cal,
this conference as soon as the Laws
have been considered by the Cover
nor and either signed or retained fer
future consideration. The legisla-
tive session was protracted by twenty
days. This unusual length will in
tcrferc somewhat with the whole sit
uation. During the last week of
March, however, l shall he in a posi-
ton to decide many OF these questions
and decision cannot be had before
that date. According to my intor-
nation, the Governor is still handling
new Acts, the Comptroller General is
checking up Tie Appropriation l}il!
and the state Treasur"r is trying TO
get enough money I" pay claims.
II hope your trustees are advisin"
al their patrons to nay their t;l,i,& il
order to protect tn" schools.
"Y0;TS respectfully.

his grip on the imagination of |the

evident This free use on Lincolnt by
dramatists is perhaps the best illus
tration that he dealt with elemehtal
things. Drama, to. be successful, Thust
deal with clementa1s-the things
which are a part, of everyday life land
which all people will very easily reGog-

find that so many plays with lincoln

of it, If any one injured Mr.. Wagners reputation
it was Wagner Publishing his record proper.
A committee was appointed to investigate the
Insane asylum. The evidence showed a peculia,
situation in handling the barrels OF medicinal
whisky purchased for the asylum. From 80 per cent
to so per cent of this liquor disappeared between
the government warehouse and the asylum vaults
Mr.. c. Rosenwald was the active and responsible
president of the board He knew that so per cent
Of the shipment to the asylum disappeared. He
admits it. The next shipment he ordered delivered
at his private warehouse Only 80 per cent of this
shipment disappeared.
Although Mr.. Rosenwald knew of the shortage
in both shipments, not learn that he ever
made claim for the shortage to the railroad COM
pany notified the governments enforcement Of
ficials. Had this been barrel of vinegar, claim
would have been made.
Mr.. Rosenwald, merchant sold to Mr.. Rosen-
wald as president of the board, several thousand
dollars worth of supplies. We pronounced this as
scandalous. Mr. Rosenwald did not have the moral
right to make dollar off from the state long
as he represented the state in the transaction. VIC
are confident that he did not.
The Journal is not responsible for the whiskey
shortage and did not advise Mr.. Rosenwald to sell
goods to the institution through himself. We re-
corded the facts to what happened. Then we
accused of destroying the reputation Of Mr..
Rosenwald, If that gentleman is hurt, he did it.
We criticised the remainder of the board for
negligence in allowing these things to happen. We
expressed the opinion that Mr.. Rosenwald should
be removed by the governor, and that the rest OF
the board should resign. republican member of
the investigating committee expressed the same
opinion to u.s. No man has right to accept place
on such board unless he intends to act. We have
charged the other members with nothing but neg
lect
IT officials are to be protected from Just criti-
clsm because they good fellows and highly
respected citizens in private life, how is the public
service to be improved?
Criticism of public officials by the Journal is
causing considerable change of methods in many
official quarters. The public service is slowly i'm
proving under the fear of publicity.
We do not do these things simply because
enjoy it. We would prefer the friendship of those
we criticize. Our comments upon their conduct are
made in the public interest.
The way to prevent the destroying Of reputa-
lions" is for officials to avoid Just grounds for
criticism.

Injuries destroys the private reputation OF people
Nothing could be farther from the facts. The
Journal Is friend to every man, in his private

criticisms of the private lives the private bus

benefit to accrue from the criticism.
This paper was accused Of attempting to destroy

has refused steadfasty to publish line which
might reflect, directly indirectly, upon Mr.. Wag-

Wiggily and Nurse Jane were
asleep, the Jay stayed awake, be-
cause of the pain where his
feathers had been pulled out by
the Fox. And wide awake as he
was. in the kitchen of the bunga-
low, all at once the bird heard a
noise at the back door. The door
opened and in came the Woozie
Wolf. But as soon as the Jay
saw the Wolf the bird began to
scream, as all Jays do.
Fish hook, Fish hook, Fish
hook screamed the Jay. AT
least it sounded like that.
ooh, 1 don't want any fish
hooks stuck in me! I'm afraid of
fish hooks!" howeled the Wolf.
and out he ran, not hurting Uncle
Wiggily at all; though the Wolf
broke in to nibble the Dummies
ears.
ooh, you saved my ears from
being nibbled by. crying Fish
hook Mr.. JAY" said the bunny,
when he heard what had happen
cd. Thank you!"
So the Jay stayed nearly all
winter in the bungalow, and in
the spring new feathers grew on
him. And If my pet elephant
doesn't pack all the Christmas
tree gum drops in his trunk. so

piano, I'll tell you next about
