(By Miss Mary T. Nance.] The rural schools of South Carolina have been greatly im proved in recent years but there is yet an enormous amount of work to be done before the schools in the country will com pare at all favorably with the town and city schools. A large per cent of the popu lation of our state is rural and agricultural, therefore, if every boy and girl is to be given an equal chance for an education it is very important that our peo ple build up a good systei of country schools. The tfficiency of a country school depends largely upon the effort put forth in a rural community by its trustees and teachers. If they show that they are interested and will take the leadership in improving their schools they will not fail to get cooperation from patrons. I urge every country teacher and trustee in South Carolina to ask himself the question: "What can I do to make my school better?" Find out how you can make it better and go to work with a determi nation to improve conditions. Success will always attend an earnest effort. & During the recent session of I the legislature a bill was passed r appropriating $20,000 for thE purpose of increasing the aver age length of the school tern and to improve the efficiency ol L the public schools in this state t The State Superintendent of Ed ucation, Mr. J. E. Swearingen will gladly send a copy of thi, act together with regulations t< any one who will write him fo: e same. Every rural school shoul a run longer than three or fou: months so if yours doesn't rui at least 100 days don't fail t< take advantage of this law. I provides that any school whos< term is less than 100 days cai secure $2.00 from the State Su perintendent of Education fo: every dollar that the patroni e may raise. SIf any school which pays $34 a month will raise $10 the stat' will supply $20 and thus length en the term by one month. 0 course, any greater amount rais .ed by the school will 'secure - correspondingly greater additioi to the school term. fThe State Board of Educatio1 ~has recently set aside S2,000 o the library fund to be used b: the School Improvement Associ ation for prizes. This amoun was offered last year and 9 schools entered the contest. I is estimated that $200,000 wort: ofg material improvement resull ed from this contest.
