% lb VOL. 5. NO. 53. SEMI-W Importance of School Discipline At a meeting of the trustees o: the Lancaster school district heh Monday in the office of Col T^rnv Snrinorn ohnirmaii nf board, the resolution ,publishe< elsewhere was passed unani mously. This action was con sidored necessary in view o some recent occurrences in th< Central school which were cal culated to do harm. The Boar< have acted wisely in the matter By the passage of the resolutioi they simply put parents on notic< that if they d? not wish corpora punishment inflicted on theii children, they must notify th< Superintendent of the fact, ii advance, and be prepared fo their expulsion for serious of lenses against the rules ot tn< school. In order to operate i school successfully, in any com munity, it is absolutely neces sary that discipline should b< maintained at all hazards. I: parents are permitted to inter fere and have their way, th< work of the best tWchers wil come to naught. Ninety-nin< times out of a hundred the chili is in the wrong* and when.th< parent steps in and takes his o her part, the result is not onli subversion of discipline but i serious injury is done the child a well. Parents should remembei that the public schools are sup ported by the taxes of all th< people and should be run for th< common good and not in the in terest of any one man or set o men. Proper consideration shouli be had for teachers. They ma; have their frailties common b t hgm&nity?but a .wile n< more earnest and conscientiou; class of people live. Their lot i: not often a happy one, especiall: if thoir efforts are not appreci ated and their work interfere< with. So, from now on, le everybody interested in the wel fare of the school give thei hearty co-operation and suppor to both teachers and trustees Then Lancaster may well boas of having: one of the best school in the State.

Jackson's Birth Place. f Editor Lancaster News:?I have not closely followed the controversy with reference to B the birth place of Andrew Jack1 son, but looking over Mills' Atlas, - a copy of which is owned by - Mr. Geo. H. O'Leary of this f town, I find a most excellent B map of Lancaster County, sur veyed aud made by J. Boykin 1 for Mills' Atlas in 1820. On the map is marked, "Birth Place of 1 Gen. A. Jackson," which is a B short distance above John Craw 11 ford's bridge on Waxhaw Creek, r I in Lancaster County. BS It will be remembered that , 1 j Jackson was not inaugurated r i President until 1829, and cer"; tainly there was no controversy B|as to hi6 birth place in 1820, 1 I urhon t Kio mart moo ntn/)n ??J vv aav*a vmu mup TfOO lllOUCf (IIIU | * yet a reliable surveyor, basing " his information upon what those 1 who knew Jackson perfectly ^ well, and must have known ex" i actly where he was born, pointed e out as the place of his birth in ' Lancaster County, nine years - before he was inaugurated Pres* ident. B It seems to me that this map j r is very strong corroborative eviV dence that Andrew Jackson a knew what he was talking about 3 j when he asserted that he was a k r | native of South Carolina.
