V\ the first of A l all departld our stock A Plea for the High School., The weakest and moat neglected part ol oar Bdacational System, la that stage between tbe Public School and tbe College. Therefore tbe greatest need of tbe Educational System of South Carolina today, la the High School. It tbls is true of tbe State. It la preeminently true of Abbeville aud Abbeville County, with all oar boasted heritage of an aristocracy, and material prosperity, aad educational growtb, tbere is not a High School In Aboevllle County; and yet scores upon scores of oar youth are growing ap with nothing better than tbe old held school of five or alx 1 months in tbe year. It does not take a prophet to predlot the fa tare of tbla lamlnr*. bin state ol afftlra. And bo I repeat: The greatest need of our Educational System is the High School. i. 1 higue first, from the standpoint of tbe public schools. By far tbe majoriiy of tbem are taagbt by one teacber. There are from '10 to oO pupils crowded Into one smull room ?a conglomeration of a dozen grades to be taagbt by one teaeber, and if tbla is tbe only bope of an education, because no better school Is within reaob, tbere la bat little aspiration beyond reading, writing and spelling, and tbe vust majority of onr noble sons ana daughters are growing up in illiteracy and doomed to poverty. The near by High QUUUU1 wuuiuwrvo M ?u JUUOUI l?C W 1UU& beyond, upward, and onward. Bat suppose we remain as we are? without tbe High School; inhere are a few pupils In the pahlie schools who have enough amblUon to parsne their stadlea beyond tbe point or reading and. writing, tbey require at least one third of the one te lober's time, and benoe tbe majority of the children are left to themselves to Idle away tbelr time,?simply be oaaae tbe teacher la trying to do tbe advanoe worlt wltb the few who ought to be in tbe Hlgb8?booL Again, many of these toboola through theoountry are taught by teaobera who never attended a Blgh Sbbool, or any other. higher than that which they are tryJag to teaeh. Henoe the aad result la often simply "playing at school," and in aome inManoea our ooantry aeboola are a failure. Tbe Sammer Sohooia" are well enough, aa inaplratlonal faatora, bat tbey do not aopply real aobolarablp. Tbe High School; near enoagb and ebeap enough, la the only hope for the aopply of good teaobera for tbe pnbllo school a. College graduatea are oat of tbe Question aa teaobera for these 'mall rural aeboola. II. I argue In tbe aeoond plaee for tlie High I ^ tkAa4>Ky4au(tMl *?.0 tVi* ocuuui uuui iuobwuujw1uwuj 1uo uvn*?uc. During tbe strengency of bard Mmea the oo:leges bad to rtsoK to alt sorts of methods Id order to Oil up ttae required number of tudeuta necessary to meet ttae monies ex pensea?It waa a matter of life and deatb. Every body wbo knocked at tber doors, whether prepared or not, bad to be admitted, In order to maintain an exlstanoe; and so colleges were filled with many, hoys and girls who had no business In the world In a college. The result necessitated preparatory elaaaea to be taught by ttae regular oollege professors, wbo gave mnota of their time and energy to these "preps." But things are ohanglng. Tbe colleges are no longer dependent upon tbta ever enlarging number of poorly prepared student* for tbelr ox la tense No where elae la tbe wonderful prosperity oi tbe Son lb manifesting Itself so signally as In tbe large number of students now overflowing nearly every college in t be land.'1 Therefore tbe oolieges will soon pay bat littie attention to tbe Snb*fresbman (losses, and many are already eliminating tbe preparatory department.?for two reasons, first, because they are no longer dependent upon tbelr patronage for livelihood, and aeoond be bause they have no time for tbta primary work. Thus we are now right np against the problem of tbe "High School." We mast have It! Without it we will sink to ignorance, and oblivion. Wltb it, we will awlm to victory and power. One of tbe Professors at Clinton remarked to me not many days ago, that he was glad tbat Abbeville was soon to have a Htgb School; that he wished tbe Synod of S. (ft bad Mx, Instead of one; and thai one of tbelr greatest needs was to be relieved of all subfreshmen work,--that It was not only a hindrance to tbe best results of tbe college, but was a positive burden, and such a drudgery tbat It left but little time for tbelr real college work. Time and energy are thus expeaed on the preparatory classes that ought to be given to ibe regular College classes. Tbe prepared students are neglected, while the profesnor l? trylDg to brlDgop the deficient students. May God speed t be day when well equipped High School* shall fulfil |ibelr missions, and tbas unloose this mill-stone tbat Is tied about the necks of our college professors! According to the United States' report, there were over 1000 students last year In the preparatory departments of the colleges oi South Carolina. My experience and observation have convinced me tbat there are very lew boys and girls seeking admission Into our colleges, who are really prepared for college. And I further know from experience tbat to go to oollege unprepared? with no foundation, is tbe most hazardous tblDg in a boy's education. It makes his wbole course a life loog drudgery, or he soon becomes discouraged, gives up the fight, and goes home to resign himself to a life of Ignorance, Bat tbla la not all the argument for the High School. If to establish feeders for colleges were all oar plea, we coald appeal only to the select few. It U indeed a grand and Important work to prepare sttidenta for college, and It Is a gratifying observation of reoent years, that tbe Dumber of college students Is constantly luoreaslng, and yet It remains a fact that the vast majority?tbe great controlling masses, never set loot on college aoll. . me great neea 01 me nun school In to prepare thti olass for the com moo pursuits of every day life and Intelligent society. We need the High School within reaob of the mcuac.t, in order to put the stamp of grace, and dignity, and refinement upon our *oclety, and lift tbe rising generation to an intelligent oonoeptlon of the christian life. The College Is a grand Institution, filling its mission In the world nobly well; bat it ton^hes life only here and there. Now and then a boy or a girl Is prlvtledged to enter Its walla. But establish the High School within val^lnv ni> ?Mln<rHlotin/?c nn on ? ? t " ilMIWJ WW*?UW\| vu ?U OWUUUilUftl bads, and you put a good, praotioal, business education wllhin reach of every borne.
