Columbia Special to Charleston For

Leuco Gunter, state supervisor of well c
rural schools, haa prepared the fol- school
lowing article on "The Need of sectio
Teachers," as the first of a series of still e
articles on "Country School Prob- ties, u

tion Mr. Gunter can speak with these
knowledge and what he has to say lengtli

article Mr. Gunter says: of the
One of the greatest needs of coun- these
try schools today is teachers of schol- count!
arshlp and training that will enable than 1
them to meet the problems of the
rural school. For many years our uut
school officers have been concerned aaiarj
largely with securing satisfactory reauZ(
equipment and a school term of suf- onero
flcient length to do successful work.
The providing of these is yet a prob- st,
lem in a great many places, but we
hare reached the time when in a few systetl
counties of the state the chief con- HOive(]
cern of the county superintendent of or
education Is the securing of efficient rej|
class roof Instruction. One county jr
superintendent was heard to remark flie ,
the past session that the problem ih (ijfncu
bis county was to secure teachers teach(
who knew the work and were able j,rohlc
to do the work, that where schools ,,roe
were efficient he experienced no ditll- stU(jv
eulty in influencing the people either verv i
to vote taxes to Increase the school ,,(
term or the teachers' salaries, or to tntoti<l
vote bonds for providing the righl
kind of physicial accommodations. -irranj

has made the securing of capable *ity 01
teachers for country schools more Wh
necessary. Under the Influence of the arrant
