Finds Schools in Flourishing Cond
derson County Aro Willing
Education ol
'Anderson county ls so .rich in re
sources, is so well populated with
white people, and has been progres
sing so well recently in school af
fairs, that I was especially anxious
td visit the county and take suffi
cient time to see all portions of it,"
said Luco Gunter, state supervisor of
Rural schools, wiro returned to Colum
bia yesterday, after spending two
weeks in Anderson.
Investigation ot school reports .by
Mr. Gunter showed that there ia an
enrollment of 10.818 white children
with a teaching force of 239 In 91
separate schools. During -the present
scholastic year there ls a total avail
able school revenue of $150,397.20.
rFigurcB like these give one an
idea of the vastness of the school
work in Anderson county," said Mr.
Gunter.
Progress in school affairs ls shown
in many instances by the interest
manifested on the part of the taxpay
ers. The sp?cial tax receipts for An
derson during the past year were
$53,878.14, while the receipts from the
constitutional three-mill taxes were
$41,383.28. These figures Indicate that
the people of Anderson aro willing to
tax themselves for the education o?
' their children," said the supervisor.
Out of a total of 07 school districts
56 are now levying a special tax.
During the past year ll school dis
? tricts. either voted a special tax or
Increased the one already voted.
Anderson is making rapid progress.
Mr. Gunter said, in .tue matter of
school buildings. Ten new buildings
were erected last year.
Inspector Gunter says:
School Progress lg Anderson County.
It waa 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 sn per vi nor. Anderson
county in so rich in resources, is so
well populated with white people, and
has been progressing so well recent
ly in school affairs, that the supervis
or was especially anxious to visit this
county and take sufficient time to sea
all portions of it.
It was not Isa ble of course, tn two
weeks to visit all of the schools but
it was possible to,visit nearly every
section. One does not realise the im
mensity of the educational enterprise
in Anderson county until one consid
ers the school statistics for that coun
ty, aa given,in the laBt report of tba
county superintendent of education.
Th2?s ?3 or. euroltmo??t; of !0,?!3
white children with a teaching force
of 239 In 91 seperate schools. There ls
this scholastic year a total available
revenue of $160,397.20 to pay for the
instruction of the pupils. Figures like
these give one an idea of the vast
ness of the school work in Anderson
county.
Like many other counties in South
Carolina, Anderson has been making
progress along all educational Unes.
This progress in many instances is
shoWn by the interest manifested in
the schools On the part of the . taxpay
ers. The special 'tax receipts during
the psst year were $53.878.14; while
the receipts from the constitutional
3-milt tax wei* $41.383.28. Th?be fig-,
urea indicate that the people of An
derson county are willing to tax
themselves for the education of their
children. Out. of a total of 67 school
districts 68 are now levying a special
tax. During , the past year ll school
districts either voted a special tax or
increased one already voted.
In ' tho matter ot school buildings
Anderson ls making rapid progress.
During the past year ten n<w. School
houses were built There sro now
some as well arranged, cud well ap
pointed school houses lu Anderson as
are to be found any where. As in o thc:
counties there are Vet- many schools
In need of new bandings but under
normal financial conditions, with the
present interest ot . thc people In this
phfine ' of school development," these
buildings would for tho most part be
an DD Had -tn the next year or two.

Townville also ia greatly in need of a
new building. It 1B a large school in
a live agricultural community and the
people will not likely allow their
children (Jo suffer for lack of ade
quate facilities. v
The Walker-McElmoylo school is of
interest on account-ot its possession
ot a large farm. In this day of ag
ricultural instruction in the public
school this farm can be of great ser
vice both to the school and to the
community.
Smiths, McLees, Green Pond, and
Uulon are schools of this section that
were visited by us and are well pro
vided- with school buildings and teach
lng force.
The schools of this entire section
of the county are well distributed
Tbe 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 nchool. 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 contri
butory to these would give the people
a most excellent ' schcol system.
We spent the second week ot our
visitation in the lower portion of the
county. The schools of this section
did not appear so progressive as those
of the upper section. In nearly every
district visited by ns there are too
many one-teacher schools. We visited
the Snow Hill school and found there
a consolidation with another school
of that district vej?y desirable. To
effect this a new building will have to
be erected, as neither of the two
buildings now in ase is in keeping
wit'J the progressive spirit of Ander
son county.
We Visited Carswell Institute sud
here again we found consolidation
and a, new building necessary for the.
right kind of instruction for the pu
pils, ot that community. In- each qf.
these communities there are progres
sive citisens who are manifesting a
great deal of Interest In .their schools
and under their leadership? these
much-needed improvements will like
ly be. made within a reasonable time.

Cadet W. A. Moore at his residence
! on George street. This is the first of
(a series of banque?? usually given the
j graduating class by Its Charleston
members and a very pleasant time
ls anltclpated.
About a hundred and fifty cadets
1 went up to Columbia on the Atlantis
Cc^.st Line's Citadel Special train last
?Thursday to witness the annual Cita
del-Carolina football game. A large
number of tho. alumni were also
along the side lines and throughout
the entire day the truo Citadel spirit
existed in full array. It was a great
contest from beginning to end. Fall
' ure to kick goal after a touchdown
caused our defeat
I In all of the gamea of the season '
i Just Closed the Citadel Bcored a to-1
tal of 65 pointa against GO made by 1
opponents. The - defeat on Thursday j
resulted in our being placed in third'
place In the State championship
standing for 1914.
Hon. J. D. Chapman, a prominent
member bf the Charleston bar and a
devoted church and missionary work-,
er, addressed the cadet Y. M. C. A.
last Sunday night. His Ulk dealt j
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.

During the past two weeks some
fifteen or twenty fellows have been
practicing basket ball each afternoon]
in'the gymnasium and since the foot
ball season is over lt -is likely that

. FRAZER FITTING SCHOOL o
o
The work of tho students of the Fra
ser Fitting School bas been ot the best j
during the present term. Many ot the
boys having shown marked Improve
ment in their method? of study and
consequently much better results have j
been attained.
From an opening enrollment of]
I nearly sixty last year, the school
?opened this year vith less than forty. ]
but owing to the corresponding small I
?classes the personal attention given
the Individual student has been in
fer eased, resulting in* great benefit to
those who now attend the classes.
Tardiness has been greatly lessened I
and attendance ls more regular. Tho
patrons ot the Behool are realising
[more and more that not a day muBt be I
lost lt their boy is to receive the
?proper instruction.
When a boy is allowed to miss a day
he rarely prepares the next day's les
son, thinking the excuse, "I didn't
know where the lesson was," perfectly
adequate and feeling much grieved
and mistreated it kept In for his fall
lure to get his lesssons.
Many of the parents have, as we say,
I realized this, and yet there are s?mo
i who still seem to think Just one day,
(one little day, can not matter. To th eso
we would address the following lines:
? boy In bis school work ls not only
getting an education, he is forming
habits and bolldmg character. First,
wo would take up the effects ot ab
sence on his ?ducation. While going
to school the boy ls forging a chain,
each day a link. It ls the chain noon
which his destin* must hang. There
fore have lt strong.
Of what good are good strong, sol
idly welded links if one link. Just one
link, In their midst ls made of weak
iron but poorly welded, lacking tito
flux of a teacher's care. The chem Ss
only as strong as tts weakost link.
What matter though til? weak link be
galvanised over by "eranming* for
the examination and escape the'scru
tiny of the teacher. Will. not. some
strain surely opon the defective Unk,
There will be. the weak link always
ready to part ?A the moment ot extra
strain, the very time of all when it
should hold firm and fast
Then comes the effect on habit The
boy beginning to be shlp3hod"in kia
methods, he tries to find more ex
cuses tor absence from school. He
finds the next days' lesson harder es
he missed the principled taught in tba
lesson missed He seeks to dodge ?tte
tieavter burden by aat?ther absence,
maktbg l.ls load all the heavier. He
gets discouraged In the work and hts
parent thinks tho teacher is ?not ex
plaining the lessons to the boy. It
fair to the Test of tho class to stop
and consume their time explaining
What they alresu?r fcfcbw to s toy ^he
would alco have known had he been to
school every day? Some parents seem
to lose sight of the fact that there are
other boys In the teachers* care whose
right are to be safeguarded, to "leave
the ninety and nine for one lost sheep?
ts a religious method not educational.
Moreover absence cultivates si tend
wc-?cy lu "piay hookey." The boy who
is often allowed to stay at homo ia
always the one who "lays ont" aa the
boys.express lt
So accustomed are the teachers to
his absence and a written excuse from
parents that his tale of forgotten ex
cuse gets easy credence and thus a lax
regard for truth ls cultivated. And
the boy ends the year, if he lost that
long, a failure.
Think ot the consequence on char
acter. Habits make character.
A boy who tor trivial excuses la al
lowed to remain at home when he
should be at school will employ such
excuses for his failure all through life.
He may be regular at his Job for
he'd lose lt otheiwlBe, but ff he
should work for himself he wlir pro?
crastinate sad let things go undone
according to the habits of his youth
?which were fostered hy the very par
ents who loved tum most
. We will cot stop to dwell on how
ia the attempt to. cover the weak
placea, a boy tHes to deceive his
teacher and ' so cultivate, a tendency
toward falsehood but thia ie the in
evitable outcome of missed d'?? st
School. The weak place is there j In
the effort to hide lt a beys' regari fori
absolute truth is besmirched.
lax ns appeal to ali parents to aastet
?the teachers everywhere by having the
boys at school every day for only thus
can the better grade of work be done, ,
Owly-With the fall co-operatl?n nf l
parents can the best resalte he ao-f
peompHshns.
Because your boy does not get ah
