Tnere was never a time in the history of our county when the needs and possibilities for the school ? the greatest factor in civilization? were greater than they are today. There are forces in the field today JUI CUUIltJ U1 Tf III laiiiouui ft,. 1 f shall discuss briefly the work in the county under the following divis- ! ions: First, the present condition in ed- ' ucational affairs in our county. In ' the past this county was classed with ' those counties making the least progress; but since then her reputa- , tion has been changed somewhat. ! Yet we find deplorable conditions 1 existing throughout the county. ' Namely,schools that run from three 1 to four months, with from two to ; thirty pupils. Very often you find 1 three or four of these schools, being 1 poorly taught on account of uncom- 1 fortable, unfurnished, unprepared ' teachers,non-interested trustees and patrons, where there should be one well organized, thoroughly equipped school taught by three or four competent teachers as the need may demand. There are school grounds 1 that look more like the back lot of; some careless store keeper than any- j thing else. Others have stumps,! brushes, bushes, weeds, etc, where there should be shrubbery, flowers and lawn grass to attract not only the children to school but the "grown ups" as well. The above named conditions are due to the secondary place that school matters have been forced to j occupy; the lack of public interest and enthusiasm; the lack ot love and heartfelt sympathy for mankind; the great indifference manifested by a large qpajority of teach-1 ers and trustees, the former spend- j ing a great part of their time either thinking about or participating in selfish pleasures, while the latter is1 engrossed in his private business and \ has not the work at heart. The present condition of our { c/?Kinnls tnHnv is nlflrmintr to sav the least of it. Take, for instance, some of the little one-room school houses, built on the "shoe box" fashion,: with the scant furnishings, making them very uncomfortable,with more [ than the necessary ventilation?but often with less than needed warmth. Do you know of one of these examples? If so, you have the conditions far better than I can portray them. NING ER 3 ANE ay, also the latest Apparel. t n J a. 1. teaching by precept and example this great truth. One of these great forces is the School Improvement association. It has blazed the way,fired the mind, stimulated the interest at heart; in fact, the ultimate aim of the association is to reach every home of every child that is in school, and should be there. One of our greatest workers once said; "The association has gladly wel- ' corned into the field every force that promised aid in building up the country schools, the country homes, and that promised in any wise way to enrich rural life. With a community once fired with the right kind of enthusiasm, we have welcomed and encouraged local initiative. Some of the best ideas that have helped rural communities were, in a sense,spontaneous outbursts of a popular enthusiasm that becamedynamic and effective under the wise leader1 n 1 1 i. 1 snip 01 some local teacner or citizen who kindled in the neighborhood a light nobody before had dreamed could shine so brightly in the rural districts. Such leadership has developed interior decoration, school libraries, better teachers, better pav .vith longer terms, consolidated schools, local taxation and, above all, made the school more thorough- ! ly the center of intellectual and so- 1 cial life of the community by wise 1 co-operation of farmer and his fam- ! ily with the teacher." Again, the object of every associ- 1 ation,whether county or local,should 1 be to inspire a higher standard in 1 home life,church life and school life, ' ?the three factors of civilization. 1 "The fields are ripe, the harvest great, and the laborers are few." ! Such is the condition now existing in J ?T ! Are they ideal? But please don't misunderstand me. I do not mean to throw off on the one-teacher school, but on the condition that is found there and which could so easily be corrected. In like manner, we find undesirable conditions in every school in the county. The ideal of perfection has not been attained by any one school, but success tending to the perfection that is aimed at has been made by various schools through the wise leadership of some broad-minded and sympathetic teacher, trustee or pa- I tron. I thank heaven that we have some noble examples of patriots in our county in each of the above classes. To them the honor for the already forward movement is largely due. I know of no counfy, of no people, as a whole, that are more liberal minded, and at heart have more pride, than you poople of Williamsburg. But you need to unite in this vast undertaking. Learn the conditions, for you do not know them, and then go to to work and in the course of a few years Williamsburg will stand nnt jis the hnnner nrmntv in the State. But we cannot stop where the money stops. Spend your school money as wisely asyou can, then let love for the noble cause carry it on to the goal of success. Teachers, do not becojne educated above this love. You can never have so much knowledge that you do not need the love. In fact, I would rather have the right kind of love than mere knowledge. '. - f As organizer of this count^, I would like to say that without your sympathetic co-operation I can do nothing,but with your aid we can do ?reat things. There is a great sacrifice to be made, for all this work s done outside of my regular school work. The only compensation that any organizer has is the consciousness of knowing that she did all she :ouId for the schools?the boys and anrls?of her county. T 1 : r sua,v i nave au expression 01 your co-operation in this work of ours? [ have discussed it already with some of our most prominent people. Their encouragement and pledges of support have stimulated my courage very much. I would like to hear a t once from all the trustees, also any of the patrons of each district in the county. Write me at Rome. I am teaching in the Union High school. An educational rally will be held in Kingstree in the school auditorium on Saturday, October 19, at 12 o'clock to organize the county association and make such plans that will seem wise and possible for the ensuing year. We hope to have with us some able speaker to make an address. Arrangements will be made to have lunch served at the school building after the exercises. Every teacher, every trustee and all the patrons that can possibly attend are urged to attend this meeting.
