Education of
'Anderson county is so rich in re
sources, 1b so well populated with
white people, and has been progres
sing so well recently in school af
fairs, that I was especially anxious
to visit the county and take suffi
cient time to see all portions of it,"
said Luco Gunter, state supervisor of
Rural schools, who returned to Colum
bia yesterday, after spending two
weeks In Anderson.
Investigation of school reports by
Mr. Gunter showed that there is an
enrollment of 10.818 v/hite children
with a teaching force of 289 in 91
separate schools. During the present
scholastic year there is a total avail
able school revenuo of $150,397.20.
^Figures like these give, one an
idea of the vasthess" of the school
work In, Anderson county," said Mr.
Gunter.
Progress in school affairs is shown
in many! instances by the interest
manifested on the part of the taxpay
ers. The special tax receipts for An
derson during tbb past year were
$53,878.14, while tue receipts from, the
constitutional three-mill taxes were
$41,383.28. These figures indicate that
the people of Anderson are willing to
tax themselves for the. education o%
their children," said the supervisor.
Out of a total of 67 school districts
56 aro now levying a special tax.
Tjurlng the past year 11 school dis
tricts either voted a special tax or
increased tho ono already. voted.
Anderson is making rapid progress,
Mr. Gunter said, in the matter of
school buildings. Ten new buildings
were; erected last year. *
Inspector Gunter says:
Schoo! Progress in Anderson County.
It was a great pleasure to' ' the
State Supervisor of Rural Schools to
spend two weeks in Anderson county,
visiting schools in company with the
county superintendent -of education
and the county supervisor. Anderson

There is an enrollment of 10,818
white children with a teaching, force
of 225 is Sl scpcratc schools. There is
this scholastic-year a'total available
revenue of $150,397.20 to pay for the
instruction of the pupils. Figures liko
these give one an idea, of the vast
noss of the school work in Anderson
'county
Like many , other counties in South
Carolina, Anderson has . been making
progress along all educational lines.
This progress in many instances Is
shownj by the; interest .manifested in
the sehoolB on the part of the-taxpay
ers. Tho special tax ; receipts during
the past year wore $62,878.14; while
the receipts from :the constitutional

themselves for the. education of their
children. Out of a total of 67 school
districts 66 are, now; levying a special

districts either, voted a. special tax or
' increased orto already voted.
In the matter: of school buildings
Anderson Is making rapid progress.'
During tho past year ten new school

Townville alBo is greatly in need of a

a live agricultural community and the
people will not likely allow their
children to suffer for lack of ade
quate facilities. - . <
Th? Walker-McElmoyle school is of
interest on account of its possession
of a largo farm. In thia day of ag

community.
Smiths. McLees, Oreen Pond, and
Uuion are schoolB of thiB section thsij
werp visited by us and are well pro
vided with Bchool buildings and teach
ing' force. I
The schools of this entire * section
of the county are well distributed.
Th? effort for the next few years
should be the development of the in
dividual schools in providing where
needed, in continuing the Improve
ment in the schoolroom instruction,
and in stimulating community Interest
In the school. As* the individual
schools continue to grow the people
should decide upon certain schools
that should be developed into splen
did rural schools. A few excellent ru
ral high schools in this upper section
of the county with a large number of
splendid rural graded schools con tri- ,
buter y to these would give the people
a most excellent school system.
We.spent the second week of our
visitation in the lower portion of the
county. The schools of thia section
did not appear so progressive as those ,
of the upper section. In nearly every 1
district viBited by us there are too '
many one-teacher schools. We visited ,
the Snow Hill school and found there
a consolidation with another school
of that district very desirable. To
effect this a new building wilt have to
be erected, as neither of the two
buildings now in use is in keeping
with the progressive spirit of Ander- :

their honor nc-xt F.iday evening by
Cadet W. A. Moore at his residence
on George street This is the first of
a series of banquet? usually given the
graduating class by its Charleston
members and a very pleasant time
is anltcipatcd.
About a hundred and fifty cadets
wont up' to Columbia on the Atlantlo i
Coast Line's Citadel Special train last
Thursday to witness the annual Cita
del-Carolina football game. A large
number of the alumni were also
along the side lines and throughout
the entire day the true Citadel spirit
existed in full array. It was a great
contest from beginning to end. Fail
ure to -kick goal after a touchdown
caused our defeat
' In all of the games of tho season
just closed tho Citadel scored a to- j
tal of .65. points against CO made by '
opponents. The defeat on Thursday
resulted in our being placed in third
place in the State championship
standing for 1914.
Hon. J. O. Chapman, a prominent
member, of the Charleston bar and a
devoted church and missionary work
er, addressed the cadet Y. M. C. A.
last Sunday night HIb talk dealt
with the sufferings and crucifixion of
Christ. He very vividly described the
trial and crucifixion and effectively
Compared its scenes with those of the
modern day court room.

o FRAZER FITTING SCHOOL o
o o
ooooooopooooooooo
: The work of tho students of tho Fra
ser Fitting School lias heen of the best !
during the present term.- Many of the j
boys having shown marked improve
ment iu their, methods of study and I
consequently much better results have j
been attained.
From an opening enrollment of I
nearly sixty last year, the ' school
opened this year with lesB than forty,
but owing to the corresponding small
fiascos tho personal attention given
the individual student has been in
creased, resulting in great benefit to |
those who now attend the classes.
Tardiness has been greatly lessened I
and attendance is more regular. Tho
patrons of tho school are realizing
more and more that not a day must be
lost if their boy is to receive the'
proper instruction.
When a boy is allowed to uiiss a day
lie rarely prepares tho next day's les
son, thinking the excuse, "t didn't
know where the lesson was," perfectly
adequate and feeling much grieved
and mistreated if kept in for his fail
ure to get his'. l?*B8sons.
Many of the rents have, as we say, I
realized this 1 yet there aro some
who still seem to think just one'day J
one little day, can not matter. To these |
we would address the following lines:
A boy hi his school work Is not' only,
getting an education, he Is forming
habKa and building 'character. First,
we would take hp the effects of ab
sence on his education. While going
to school the boy is forging a chain,
each day a link. It Is the .chain upon
which his destiny must hang. There
fore have it strong/
Of what good are good strong, sol
idly welded links if one link, just ode
link, In their midst Is made of weak
Iron but poorly welded, lacking tho
tiux of a teacher's care. Th? chain is
only as strong as its weakost link.
What matter though til's weak link be I
galvanised over hy "cramming" for)
the examination and escape the scru
tiny of tho teacher. Will not some
strain surely open the defective link.
There will be the weak link always)
ready to part at tho moment of extra
strain, the very' time of all when it
should hold firm and fa.it.
Then comes the effect on habit. The I
boy beginning to be shlpsbod In bis
methods, he tries to find more ex
cuses for absenco from . school. He
finds the next days' lesson harder j cs
he missed the principles taught in the I
lesson missed. He.seeks to dodge the j
heavier burden' by andther absence,
making his load nil the heavier. He
gets discouraged .in the work and his
parent thinks the teacher is not ex
plaining the lessons to the boy. It Is
fair to the rest of. the class to stop
and consume their time explaining )
what they already know to a boy who 1
would also have known had-he been to )
school every dayf Some parents seem
to lose sight of the fact that there are
other boys in' the teachers' care whose
right are to bo b^'eguarded, to' "leave
the ninety and nine. 1. n* one lost sheep?
is a religious method not educational.
\i Moreover absence cultivates a tend
ency to "play hookey."-The boy who.)
is often allowed to si ly at home, is
Uwaya the one who "lavs'o?t" as the
ioys' express It
So . accustomed arc the teachers to
1I3 ab box,co and a written' ? xcuso from
arents *i. ?t his tale .if forgotten ex
:us& g?t: t usy credence an ? thus ? lax
cgard far truth Is cultivated. And
lie boy ends the year. If he lost that [
ong, a failure.
Think of the consequence on char-1
icter. Habits, make character..
A boy who for trivial excuses Is at
owed to remain at home . when ' ho
mould be at school will employ ouch
sxcuses for his failure all through life.
io may be regular at bis Job for
lO'd lose it otheiwise, but if ho
should work for himself he will pro
ras Un ate and let thingsi go undone
Lccordlng to the habits of his youth]
vhich were fostered by tho very par
rats who loved hlra most
Wo will not atop, to dwell on how !
n the attempt to. cover the weak
naces, a boy tries to deceive bis
eacher and so cultivate a tendency
oword falsehood but this Is the In-;
) vi table o?tcomo of missed days at
chooi. The weak place Is there and In
ho effort to hide It a boys* regard for j
absolute truth Is besmirched.
Let ds appeal to all parents to assist
he! teachers everywhere by having the I
?oys at school every day for only thus
an the bettor grsder of work be done,
mly with the. full co-operation of
?rente can the best results be ac
ompllahed.
Because your boy does not get along !
lori't blame the teacher. Think; of the
thcr boys who vre doing well under
be same teacher and then see if you
invo helped the teacher all you can.
