WEDNESDAY/ JULY 1. 1 ??osT Promotion and Development of Educa tions' Int?rcSiSi Mr. Editor; Within the past few years tiler? has been organized what is known ns tho Southern Education Board; an organization which is prov ing itself a very strong agency in tho promotion nod development ot educa tional interests. Realizing, as did Themistocles of old when ho made the seats ot tho amphitheater to lace the ocean in order to interest the Greeks in maritime affairs, that ono's character is formed largely by his environment, this Hoard has turned its attention to the improvement and beautifying of thc school houses and grounds. Throughout the uni verso everything accommodates itself to its surround ings. The leaves on tho plants of a hot dry climate become thick and tough, hence we lind in such localities thc cactus family and plants whose leaves have become spines in their determined warfare against the elements. If this is true in tho physical world, much mon- is it true in tho world of mind and spirit. The .Southern Education Hoard hasconu) to a full realization of the in iluencu/of environment in tho develop ment of character and is working for better conditions through the execu tive committee appointed to manage a campaign in this State having as its object thc improvement of tho sur roundings of tin* child while in thu school room. Here he spends five .days in thc week during che school term, and surely his surroundings hero should bens pleasant and attractive as at-his home, oven more so if possible. Our aspirations should always be to ward something better. Emerson, 1 believe, says, "Hitch your wagon to a ?tar." The committee appointed to manage the campaign in this State is composed of Governor Hey ward, Superintendant of Education Martin, and President D. B. Johnson, of Winthrop Normal and Industrial College. This committee hus asked me to take charge of Ander son County, spending six weeks in the work. It will he impossible for me to visit all tho schools in this length of time, but I shall strive to reach every .one that I can nud organize associa tions of ladies who will ugreo to seo that the surroundings of thc child .while nt school aro made os attractive as pos -i bio. As one means of obtnining tho funds <?IPC -iry to do this 1 proposo to show in .: vantages of what is known as rural consolidation. Let me urge tho co-operation of nil those interested in tho educational welfare of the future citizens of An derson County. Through the local columns of thc pa pers I hope to keep the rural commun ?ties posted ns to when I shall bo with them in tho interest of this move ment. On Monday afternoon, June 20, I will be at the Denver school house. Tuesday morning nt 10 o'clock I shall be with the people of the Leba non, Melton and lola schools at the Lebanon school house. From here I shall go to the Bishop's Branch school where 1 hope to meet the patrons ot this school and of the Martin school on Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. Wednesday morning, July 1, at 10 o'clock, I shall be ut the Walker Jfo Elmpyle school house to talk with the patrons of this school and those of Bethany. That afternoon I shall go to Slab town school, house where I wish to meet with the patrons of this school and of Bethlehem. Thursday morniugat 10 o'clock 1 shall he at White Plains and that afternoon at 4 o'clock I go to Viola. Friday morning, July 3d, at 10 o'clock, I shall be at Central school house, near Williamston, and that afternoon Kt 4 o'clock at Union Grove. * Monday afternoon, Jnly 6, at 4 o'clock at Eureka. , , Tuesday morning, Jnly 7, at 10 o'clock at Triangle. Tuesday afternoon, July 7, 4 o'clock at Neal's Creek. In these meetings at the various school houses I hope to meet the ladies of the community especially, but the men may attend. It ia hoped that the trustees will do so. Leila A. Russell. Townville Notes. Mies Etta Giles visited her brother, W. E. Giles, of Seneca, quite recently. Mrs. W. E.
