" " iwr-'f mm B 1 i-m m m ar.'i iftiBM AT SHARON. Interesting Speeches by Wideawake Men. Tbe school rally held at SharoD on the 2Stb Instant proved a success beyond the expectation of those who were most vitally Interested. Sharou Is making for Itself an enviable reputation as a wideawake, pushing agresslve . neighborhood. Whatever is golDg Sharon gets it. She Is advertising herself to tbe limit and tbe fact is going to pay good divl. deads. Tbe school meeting held there last Friday was presided over by our Superintendaut of 1 Education, J. Foster Uammond. Mr. Hammond bad an interesting program with players who kuew their part. B. M- Cheatham The meeting was opened by an address ol welcome offered by Prof. B. M. Cheatham, principal of the Hbaron Scbool. Id tbe course 31 his remarks Mr. Cheatham gave a history it tbe school, told of Its ups and downs in an nterestlng manner. Among those promaently interested in tbe life of the school were mentioned Mr. A len McCanty, Mr, fames Gilliam, Mr. Dave Gilliam, Mr. J. T. Cheatham and others. Sharon, be said, was ;he first district to vote a special school tax n tbe County outside of Abbeville city. Many boys and girls, tbe speaker added lad gone off to college from this school and I nany more would go. He attributed tbe sue- I ;ess of tbe Sharon Scbool to tbe unanimity I >f purpose and cooperation on tbe part of tbe >atrons of tbe school. Tbey have pulled ogetber, so to 6peak, and the result la one ol be bett schools in the County. Dr. Johnson. The next speaker was Dr. Johnson of Win- , brop College. lie had begun bis life's work J] a Abbeville County as principal ot the ibbevllle Graded school, and was much Id- o eresled In the success of the Abbeville County ? cbools. He said tbat If people only realized ? he Importance of schools from an economic tand point they would have better schools, etter school houses, would vote more local ax, and would make more honest returns ol V roperty for taxation. ' The Doctor stated that the wealth produ g power of a people depends directly upon ^ heir educational advantages. The educated ian, according to statistics, make 91000 per S ear or 340,000 In a life time; the'uneducated :>akea SI. 50 per day or SlSOlXl In a lifetime, C saving 822,000 to the advantage of the educatil man. This when figured out makes each ay at school to the pupil worth 810.00! The peaker said tbat It was better to put the _[ tbor of the land! into the boy than to put he labor of tbe boy Into land, as many men re doing today. He deplored tbe miserable ondltlon of education In South Carolina and lentloned the fact that Governor Aycock hanked God for South Carolina because she ept North Carolina from being at the foot ol A ne list In education. The heaviest burden J aat any country can carry Is illiteracy. It I sets to be Ignorant, he stated, and proved It ' y statistics. The fact that the people of South Carolina re a rural people makes it Imperative that tie have good rural schoolB. Society Btates aat not more than three generations can live i the city before there must be a ohange back > the country. The purpoae of Education, tbe Doctor said, i to prepare one for life, not to prepare a Ludent lor law, medicine, or the mlnlBtry. | iood schools come from good teachers. No :hool Is better than tbe teaober at the head fit. It lb better to have a good teacher for short time than to have a poor teacber for long time. Tbe plan to get good teachers la ) pay good salaries. Brick layers gel >3.00 er day. Tbe dog catcher In Washington gets 1500 per year, while the school teachers get WO. He did not deny that some teachers et more than they are worth. Dr. Johnson says that women ought to be lucated because an eduoated woman will - ot rear an uneducated family If she can help mi i. The Doctors speech was full of pith and loaght as were all tbe speeches made, and, qo e was listened to with closest attention. tjc Prof- Rembert 1 o Professor Rembert prefaced his remarks by xt review of wbat Abbeville County bad done ra >r the cause of Education and mentioned In ]Q lat connection two schools, Wllllnglon and t>u okesbury. Prof. Rembert said that people oli jould be awakened to an Interest In the r tile things tbat lie about ua, the beaaty In re atnre, ect. He sbowed tbat the grtatesi ftn aterest reBts In the children. To Illustrate W( als point be spoke of a bouae being on fire- 0b nqulry was mt?de as to whose house It was u, lr. Smith's. Mr. Smith went to see about at ;. Again there was a cry or fire, and this me It was the Baptist Church. All the 0h aptlsts went4to see about It. Lastly there m as a cry of Are fiom the school house and gr very body left their places of business and th eut to the school house, all were Interested, tv .8 the home is the heart of the family the iq cbool house is the heart of the community tb Le Judged a community by Its school house nd not by Its churches. w Many men do not Klve to schools because t>c iey are afraid that their neighbors may be tb eneflted thereby. Whatever helps a nelgb. 0t >r helps the individual. There is an economic valuation to be placed a schools. The strongest asset that a com. lunlty possesses la in its school. There should be a community of Interest ^ i our ifl'orts. Narrowness Is our greatest heck to progress. There should be a breadth P? f Interest. We should do all we oan to put urselves In touch with the harmony orpt reatlon, and to do It we must broaden our|T1 nowledgeaua enlarge our sympathies, Tbe brains of men go Into business but tbe lQ rains of women go Into schools and homes. 1 Ilueaie tbe women and settle forever tbe uestion of compulsory education. 111 Llscence and freedom are confuted in tbe ar uinds of many men. They think that they w rant freedom when they want llsense. w The^speaker urged that good books and 00 ;ood papers fall Into tbe hands of tbe boyt n< nd girls. Unless gocd books and papers are a Iven tbem the time will come when bad >ook8 and papers may reach them and the w esult will be disastrous. He mentioned an ot nstance of a boy whose whole life was banged by the reading of a book. Tbe boy 10 yas Induced to go to college through this o1 nstruroen'tallty, and while he received no ai ncouragement or help of any kind from 83 lome, but rather discouragement, yet he pi vorked his way through and now Is helping e< lis brothers and sisters through who, otherivise, would never have had an education. cl Hon. W H. Nickleson. si Two of the most serious delects of our tl icbool system were dUcussed by Mr. Nlckle- jt ion; tbe salaries paid teackers and length ol erms. Men and women spend years and uuch money In preparing themselves to A .each and then receive the puny salary of >2S9 per year as wages. Men are not to be v jlamed lor wishing to dodge teaching as a profession. While a few teachers are getting d uore than they are worth the great majority ^ ire being under paid for their services. One trouble with us Is that we, as lndlvldulis, have lost sight of our responsibility. We ;xpect the Stale now to do It all. The State t never Intetded such a thing. Tbe State does Q not say that the Individual shall not help. e It only provides to help tbe weak. To appreciate a thing one must pay for It. We do ti Dot appreciate our schools ^because we do not f| pay for ihem. f une speaaer menuoneu iue oiu wuuugiuu school Id the course of bis remarks and held It up as a model. There are too many schools now tn the country. What we need Is consolidation of sohools so that we oan have better schools. The question of education Is the most Important In the State today.

I ond was Miss Mamye Cromer of Newberry. Iss Cromer is the president of tbe Abbeville unty Rural Sohool Improvement AssocIr>n. [q tbe coarse of ber remarks she pointed out me of tbe defects of onr County schools, le houses are too small, tbe beating ar gements are often poor, ventilation bad, some cases there are shatters instead of Inds, often tbe schools have no globes; poor ack boards, ect.

Tbe speaker made emlon of tbe thirty prizes offered for tbe eatest Improvement In rural schools during eoomlngyear. Five prizes ol$100 each and ?enty-flve prizes of 350 each. Each school the county should endeavor to win one of iese prizes. Ide county schools ought to be consolidated bere it la posslole. Sixty pupils can be itt.er taught in one building than In plaolng em In four bnildlngs separated from each her. Hon W- N Graydon. The last speaker Introduced was Hon. W. Graynon. Among some of the things r. Graydon said w?re that the present camilgn was not a political-one but a;m?tter of itrlotlsm, and that every man; who Is itriotlc ought to take a band in the fight ie Influence for good started this year will i looked back to as tbe year of awakening educational matter In goutb Carolina. Our trouble Is onr lack of interest, we need splratlon. \> e have tbe greatest percent of lteracy. Our greatest curse is our Ignorice. The speaker mentioned a case In court bere be bad lour white witnesses, three of blob could not sign their names and had to ake a cross mark. In tbe same case was a ?gro witness who signed his name easily In very legible hand. Thfl rpRnrmnlhlllt v la nn nnr shnnMoro nnrl e cannot Bbift It. A little self saoriflce on ir part will give us good schools. The speaker Bald that be wonld be asbamed i own that the negro would usurp tbe place the white man. There la nothing In the -gument that negro would be educated by a rstem ol compulsory education. If tba eople ot the State are ready lor oompulsory lucatlon, we owe It to our neighbors to see lat tbey do not grow up in lgnoranoe. Tbe alldren of our community are oar wards oth in law and u.orals.

Mr. tiraydon advocates a new school law. Ve should have a State School Commission lade up of a roan from each congressional (strict. The entire school machinery of the Itate should be placed into tbe bands of this ommlBBion. Tbe members of tbe commlslon fcbould be paid sufficient salaries as to parrant them in devoting all their time to be work. This commission conid then rec" mmend such legislation la as it deemed necBsnrv frnm tlmo 1rv tlrwo It would be tbe duty of tbls commission 0 pais on tbe qualifications of candidates or tbe cfflce of Superintendents of Bcbools or tbe different counties. As it is tbe preent school law is like a crazy quilt, a patch rork of conflicting regulations made from 1 me to time. The whole should b? revised. Girls teach now in order to get married and men teach in order to study law, medicine, ir the ministry. Dr. Waddell was an lnitance where the teacher taught to teaob, ind for no other purpose.
