COUNTY TEACHERS
MEET SATURDAY

Methods
The teachers of Abbeville county
met Saturday afternoon in the court
house and organized the Abbeville
County Teachers Association. Practically
all of the teachers in the
city schools were present and the
county, as a whole, was fairly well
represented, although the chairman,
Major Fulp, had received letters
from several teachers saying that
they were still under quarantine on
account of influenza and would be
unable to attend the meeting Saturday.
The meeting was called to order
at 2 o'clock and after a few preliminary
remarks by Major Fulp, who together
with county superintendent
W. J. Evans had called the meeting,
the business of organizing was begun.
The following officers for the
first year were elected ; President,
J. D. Fulp, of the Abbeville schools;
vice president, Mrs. J. R. McWhite,
of the Cold Spring school; secretary,
Miss Annie Gantt, of the Abbeville
schools; treasurer, Miss Allie Evans,
of the Sharon school. The following
were elected members of the executive
committee: Supt. W. J. Evans,
J. M. Daniel, Miss May Robterson,
Miss Frances Wiaeman and L. C.
Griffin. The president will appoint
this week a committee to draw up a
constitution and by laws to be submitted
to the next meeting.
After the conclusion of the business
meeting the teachers were
given a real treat in the excellent address
made by them by Mr. Lueco
Guntcr, state supervisor of rural
schools, who has recently been elected
to head the department of education
at Furman University. Mr. Gunter
was known personally to most of
*- 1 ? ? o n ^ Viic tallr was
ine leacneia picscm. c?nu
thoroughly direct to them and perfectly
logical and free from high
flights of oratory. He discussed the
ground swelling of unrest among
members of the teaching profession
over the country today; of the need
for organization, professional, not
as the labor unions organize;- of the
deficiencies existing in this county
in many school districts; and of the
need of double session day, with a
year added to the present time devoted
to the graded school proper.
Mr. Gunter emphasized the fact that
South Carolina schools are attempting
to do in seven years what practically
all of the other states are rennirintr
pipht vears to accomplish. He
lays the fault of improperly or rather
insufficiently prepared high
school and college students to the
haste with which they are rushed
through elementary grades from the
fourth to the seventh.
Mr. Gunter was very outspoken
in his statements regarding Abbeville
county's backwardness in educational
lines. He gave figures to prove his
every statement. In substance he said
that it was nothing short of disgrace

legislators to place the office of county
superintendent upon high plane. It
was preposterous to imagine that the
country schools of Abbeville would
t ever be among the best when the
county superintendent had to spend
his time making a living as the
county paid him barely enough tc
keep the office open on certain day:

DANIELS SPEAKS OUT
ON THE LEAGUE AND
TREATY OF PEACE
j Washington, Mar. 6.?Three provisional
naval building programs, de
! pendent on Senate action on the peact
j treaty, were laid before the House
naval committee today by Secretar)
I Daniels.
If the United States ratifies th(
j treaty and becomes a member of th?
i League of Nations, Mr. Daniels saic
he would recommend new construction
only to "round out" the fleet now
!built or building; if the Senate rejects
the treaty and the United States
j definitely decides not to join the lea
|gue, he said, he would urge duplication
of the three year program ol
11916, with some modifications with e
view to making the fleet "incomparably"
the greatest in the world; 1e
case the Senate took no final actior
on the treaty at this session of coni
gress the secretary said he would
j present a 69 ships program for construction
as rapidly as possible ir
[order that the United States mighl
not lose ground in competition of
; naval building.
Secretary Daniels told the commitItee
it must choose between the three
i proposals. The 69 ships program, he
jsaid, would cost about $195,000,000
He did not give any estimate of the
!cost of a new three year program.
Aviation Essential.
| Declaring that aircraft would never
make battleships obsolete, the Secretary
added that aviation was "essentially
an integral part of the fleet."
He told the Committee that he opposled
efforts to institute an independent
'air service and said that if such acition
were taken, he believed it would
lend in failure.
Civil aviation should be entirely dijvorced
from the military and naval
branches he said, advocated early
passage of legislation, regulating, by
federal agencies, private aerial navigation.
Civil aviation should be encouraged.
he declared, but should not
be developed by a great expenditure
of the public funds.
Program Outlined,
j Included in the tentative three year
program, Mr. Daniels outlined, were
.ten dreadnaughts and six battle cruiser,
but he added that he would ask
annronriations the first year for onlv
two battleships and one battle cruisjer.
In addition the program would
, include for the three years 20 light
jcruisers and a larger number of
i smaller craft.
i The 69 ship program included two
idreadnaughts and one battle cruiser
for prompt construction with a large
program of cruisers and acxiliaries
! which the Secretary's recommendations
should the United States ratify
'the treaty and become a league memiber
would include no capital craft.
