SUMTER SCHOOLS ARE
PRAISED At ATHENS
Union High Called Finest School
in South Outside Incorpor-
ated Town

]. E. D. Shipp, chairman, and
four members Of the Sumter coun-
ty board of education, as we'll as
sixteen teachers in the rural school
system here, are now attending the
convention of county superintend-
ents and trustees in progress at
Athens. According to reports from
that city, the Sumter school sys-
tenn is being held up as a model
for the state, Athens being crowd
ed with visitors, who are being en-
tertained in the homes and hotels
there.
The teachers and trustees of
Sumter's schools have repeated to
them frequently the words Of
Governor Walker in his inaugural
address praising the rural schools
of Sumter as making such magnifi-
cent progress.
One of the members of the Sum
ter delegation, describing the en-
thusiasm at. the convention in let
ter to the Times-Recorder, says:
Every member of the board of
education is made every day to
feel proud at the great speech of
Prof. Jere NJ. Poundfi in this con-
vention, in declaring that Sumter
county had made more progress
within the last 3 years than any
county in this state ever made in
so short a time. He also spoke
of the fact that Sumter county
had near Leslie the finest school
building in all the South outside
of any Incorporated town. He de-
scribed the Spanish mission single
story building with great particu-
larity and working it out as a
model for all future builders of
schools.
The members of the board Of
education from Sumter have been
called upon in every free discus
sion after the lectures to express
themselves on the various school
problems of this state.
The transportation of pupils TO
the consolidated schools has been
a great theme for discussion and
the figures and experiences of the
Sumter members were called for
and ready response given by the
board to these requests.
The delegates from Sumter
claimed for Sumter county consoli-
dated school the greatest of their
kind. Five reasons by the chair
man of Sumter board were given
why Sumter county excelled all 9TH
ers, as follows:
First. Because the rural school
districts all levied a good tax upon
their respective districts and by
this means gave their trustees mon
ey to employ best teachers.
Second. Because the county
board had adopted a rule that none
but full normal college graduates
could teach in the county schools.
Third. The superintendent was
required to give bi-mohthly exami-
nations to all the pupils of the
county and by this means secure a
uniform grading of all pupils and
that thoroughness that could not in
any other way be so well obtained.
These examinations to be held for
the purpose of properly classifying
pupils.
Fourth. The superintendent of
each consolidated school in Sumter
county is required to teach all the
other teachers every week in all
the schools of the county not less
than 4U minutes each week.
Fifth. Every school in Sum
ter county is required to contend
for prizes and lnuinm nm OF q

FAMOUS HOTEL
PASSES AWAY

sANDUsKY. O., Jan. "a Omitted
Press) The hotel for which your
Porter House steak was named is
being razed.
Built in 1917, the Porter House,
considering its size and accommoda-
tions. is said to be unrivaled in the
midwest for picturesque historical
background.
Charles Dickens, who visited It in
1S47, is credited with giving the
hotel its first flush Of fame. Dickens
was so pleased with a steak served
him In the little dining room, that.
when in Buffalo a few days later. he
asked for a steak, like they serve
at the Porter House in Sandusky."
The English author spread the
fame Of the Porter House steak
throughout the country by dwelling
on its deliciousness in many Ameri-
can addresses.
Soon afterward leading cafes and
hotels announced Porter House"
