The report of committee was
accepted and after much discusBion
the division recommended

The interest manifested id
the business part of the meeting
is the surest evidence that our

movement.

but a maternal. Little
was said about the saloon, neither
were blind timers summoned
to answer alone tor the crime of
the ajje, for no one will agree;
that their hands rule, bu< in-|
stead, 'The hand that rocks the)
cradle rules the world." The'
sentiment of the meeting was1
against the use of whiskey in
the h<>me as "a cure all." When,
this is fully realized by mothers i
the whiskey thirst ot their sons
will be quenched and the liberal
dealers in whiskey will see that
their goods are not in demand.

County, S. C.
Dear Sir: We desire to make
the following report ot the
Lancaster County Summer
School lor whites mr the period,
beginning June 22 and ending
July 3, two weeks :
It was not possible to co over
much ground in so 6hort a time,
but we are glad to report that
much faithful work was done by
all students, especially, by those
who took regular courses of
study. In all our exoerience as
teachers in the summer schools
of the State, both countv and
district schools, we have never
known the teacher-students to
manifest greater interest in their
work. It was a real pleasure to
work with such material.
The courses of study assignel
were as follows: Civics of Sou'h
Carolina, Arithmetic, English
Grammar (the sentence), School
Mftliacomont
? PVUJVU!, u.T I 1"I. 1'iVLlRS,
Pedagogy, Algebra, Geography
and History, by Prof. McCown ;
and Drawing by Mis6 Dominick.
Special interest was shown by
the students in Civics, Arithmetic,
Geography, History and
Drawing; and it is remarkable
what progress was made in all
the studies in so short a time.
Lectures were made each morning
by Supt. W. M. Moore,
Profs. McCown and Banks, or
some of the ministers of the
town churches. These were all
on the subject of education and
school improvement.
There were fifty one enrolled
in the different departments during
the session. These came
generally from Lancaster county,
but we had-Nrepresentatives also
from York, liichland and Kershaw
counties.
In conclusion, we thank the
students for their fidelity to
duty, the lec'urers for their
words of counsel, and Supt. W.
i M. Mooro for his uniform kindness
and courtesy.
I Respectfully,
| A. R. Binks,
