K': The Press and Banner Wednesday, Feb. 3, 1886. IiOvcd at Last. And so ho loved mo, though 1 hoy said No lover e'er would come to me, That I should ne'er be. woed or wed. Or nurse a child upon my knee: They were so sure that I should miss The woman's heritage of hliss. And I, Ton, in the srwi gray nours, When through low clouds the sunlight j shone, And when the slow September showers Seemed nature's tears for summer gone, I murmured with a long, sad sigh, "My summer also has gone by." But now I know that what to me Seemed autumn rains were shewers of: spring; Summer has come, and now X see Love's sunlight brighten everything; He says he loves me, and to-day My year rolls back to early May. How did it come? I ask of him, He says my face is sweet and lair; And yet to mc these eyes seem dim. And on this brow are lines of care. But now these eyes shall yet be bright, And once again this brow grow light. lie loves me! loves me! I repeat The blest assurance every hour. And now the wine of life is sweet That yesterday was sh irp and sour; Now I can drink with spirit bold, Love's nectar from a cup of gold. I look through long slow-coming years, Made hy his love all bright and fair; T irxilc nround through happy tears. And see his image everywhere; In his great love I move and live; It it be sin, dear God l'orgive. It cannot be. Since I have known His love, God's love seems dearer too; He has come near to me and shown What tor the humblest he can do Lite's faithful fingers intertwine The human love with the diviue. 0 love, love, love ! O blessed word, That never did I understand Till In iny ear his voice I heard And felt the pressure of his hand. No more I walk with eyes cast down ; 1 am his queen,love is my crown. THE* PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE PAY OF TEACHERS?TEE AVERAGE ATTENDANCE OF SCHOLARS?THE SCHOOL AGE. The School Commissioner of Abbeville County Makes Many Su}r;jcs. Hons of Vital Importance to the People. Office of School Commissioner Abbeville County, Abbeville, S. C., Jan. 14, J.s-:0. TheCountv Board of Examiners have agreed that the monthly pay of teachers shall be according to grade of certificate, or grade of school, as follows: EMivji (Jroild Tu-pnt.v.Plvp T)flll(irs. Second Grude, Eighteen Dollars. Third Grade, Ten Dollar*. That the minimum average number of pupils per month that shall entitle a teacher to l'ull pay In country schools shall be 15; in incorporated villages and towns 1-0. In casvs where the average number between the ages of 6 and 16 falls below the minimum the trustees shall pay a per capita shareof the monthfollowing changes of general import-1 ance to trustees and teachers have been recently made in the School Law : 1. Certificates granted by County Hoards are valid for 2 years, and are renewable with or without examination, at the discretion of the said Boards. . 'L It shall not be lawful for any person who Is less than six or more than eighteen years o! age, to attend any of the free public school*. The law requires the trustees to meet as early as practicable in the year, in order to locate the schools and elect teacheis. This ought to be done before the 1st of February of each year, so that by that time all the schools of the district shall have been established and I all the teachers employed. No school ought | to be opened after the first week in February j ( unless under peculiar circumstances. The apportionment of the school fund to the several school districts is made on the 1st of February, 1 or as soon thereafter as practicable. Unless the trustees tlx some limit to the time during ; which they will contract with teachers of public schools, they cannot know the number of ( teachers nor their grade in time to ascertain, ' with the accuracy that the subject demands ( the length of the school term for their district- < The trustees, therefore, are urged to ascertain as soon as the apportionment is made the Jength of the school term for theirdistriet and ] report the same to all the teachcrs and to the JSchool Commissioner. The school term of each 1 school of the same district, for the time it is i operated as a public free school, should be the same. , There hns been a gtear defect in the administration of the school law in respect to the lo- ( cation of schools. In some places the schools are located too ncareach other. This distribution of the forces and efforts of a community, '< as well as the distribution of the public fund has had the effect of shortening the school < term, and depriving such unfortunate com- i inunities of the influence and advantages of one good, well paid, well-equippod and well , Kustained school. I recommend to t he trustees the 6?'utiment of a distinguished comjnander, who, when asked the secret of his success, promptly replied, "I concc/Urale my Jorcea.'" In some placs, on the other hand, the * school* are too far apart. The effect has been, probably, more disastrous than in cases where . the schools are too near each other. It has lessened, alarmingly, the attendance in the , county schools, and, doubtless, smothered tlie spark ol genius in many a worthy youth. This part of tLe school law is as difficult of administration as it is important. While the Jaw requires the trustees to pay due regard to any school house already built, or sites procured, it also requires them to have regard to "other circumstances proper to be considered so as best to promote the educational iuterest of the district." I am disposed to believe that there are schools in the county that ought to be removed from their present location, and established in places accessible to a lanrer mlmber of children who are not now within a convenient distance of any school. No two i Eubllc free schools for the same race ought to ' e within lc*s than live miles of each other. Two and a half miles is not too great a clis-1 tance from a good school. A very few only will be required to go even this distance, and they -can, surely, well afl'ord to do so, if, bj having . fewer schools, we increase the length of the term and the efflelcncy of those that ue have. It is a lamentable fact, known even to the casual observer, that in some sections of tincounty there is an increasing disposition, on * the part of parents, to shift t he responsibility of their children'seducation from themselves, where it properly belongs, to the public, where it belongs only in cases of extreme poverty - and misfortune, or wilful niglect. They de- I inand that the publte, which exacts from them 1 a few dimes Tor school tax, shall in return edu- ' cate their children, build and repair their i school houses, and even pay the incidental ex-, ' penseso/ the school. This disposition ought | \ W uc CUCV.&CU at c t CI v pviuu cum u-j"auuij > the matter of building and repairing school j houses. It is a manifest injustice to the teach- j era to take any part of their already too small salary and appropriate it to building ami re- i ! pairing school houses. The school house is a L*ioeal matter, and the community ought to build it at tlieir own expense, The circum-1 *] stances ought to be very exceptional indeed, j which would induce the trustees to approprilite any part of the public fund to building': and repairing school houses. I feel sure that I * iny views on this subjest will not be well re-1' reived, but I believe them to l>e right, ?ndjy that is a sufficient reason for me to recommend them to theearnest consideration ol' the 5 trustees'. The trustees will please sec to It that the teacher's monthly reports are properly filled out, as the School Commissioner's annual report is based upon these monthly reports. Any letter conveying suggestions and recommendations to trustees is essentially defective, that does not ask their hearty support in the proper administration of the school law,, in raising the standard of teacher's certili-' n cates, in increasing the efficiency of the schools, in arousing an interest in the all-important subject of properly rearing and educating our children, ami in making during tlie short period of our office, unmistakable ad-1 ^ vances all along our own-lines in the grand : V march of education. j ;j Respectfully, ?
