'I1 M M"!11' I'? I ll I H* I OUR SCHOOLS t T Br PBOr. WiMiiAM H. HAND. ; . Ui?versity of South Carolina. V T Paper Number Four. v Too Many Little Half-Supported Schools.-Sooner or later our people are going to have more comfortable and commodious school houses. Be fore the people pat their money into permanent improvements, would it not be. wise to reduce the number ot' schools in a great many places? A good four-room house costs less than four one-room, huoses of equal com fort and convenience. Sixty pupils in one building can be better taught and mpre easily taught than fifteen pupils each in four: buildings. A four-teacher school wi H flourish where four one-teacher schools would struggle to keep alive. In more than half the counties in the State are to be found dozens of ?ohools with 10 and 12 pupils each. Not many weeks ago I visted a ruial school with an enrollment of ll pu pils; three * miles off was another school with 13 pupils, and in another direction was a third school with 14 pupils. The three teachers were paid $35 each; each school house was cheap and ill equipped- In some districts six miles square are to be found 8S many as three white schools, each with a small number of pupils scar -tered from first reader to -high school grades. A good many of the incor porated villages hav? school districts oo-extensive with the incorporate lim its. An accurate school district map "df the ' State would look very much like a crazy quilt. What is the remedy? ? Take the three schools cited above. Build a comfortable two-room house at a cen tral point, and give the entire 33 pupils to two teachers. Each pupil would then have his recitatiqn time doubled, for there would be in the consolidated school more grades, or classes, than there were in the most advanced of the three little schools. I am at once reminded that some of these children would have too far to walk. (It is marvelous how much trouble' a father who walked four miles to school and . brags about, makes over his child's walking oae mile.) I grant that the consolidation puts the school too far for some tu walk. What then? Take part of the money to transport these to the school. Prof. W. K. Tate of the Meminger Normal school, says, "It is better and cheaper to transport the distant children to the good school than to bring a poor school to the distanct children. '.* Yes, one good school is immeasurably ?better than three inferior schools. The transportation of distant pu pils is no new fad. Several years ago the Eastover district in Rich land county.threw five schools into Sne. The district runs four wagon ttes, made ?orjU^e purpose, to haul the distant jsi&dren. Another in stance: Three"1 ravining districts in Fairfield count}*, with a combined en rollment of 60 pupils, have consoli dated their schools at Bethel, have erected a $2,600 school house and are transporting all-the children who live too far to walk. This consolidation gives the school enough pupils to es tablish a rural high school, with $300 of State aid. ? State Superintendents McMahan and Martain have zealously advocat ed the consolidation of small schools. Such a policy would encourage the building of better roads, while the transportation itself would protect the children in bad weather,, and would protect the small children and the girls from insults or violence at the hands of tramps: or thugs en the lonely country roads. Neighborhood Jealousies and Quar rels.-These twin evils have done -more to prevent and to destroy the efficiency of the common schools than any other two agencies in the land. It is difficult enough to maintain a good school - where everybody works in harmony, and it is well nigh impossi ble where strife and division are. To listen to-the petty contention, the sharp bickerings and the tales of dis cord in some communities makes one marvel that a school can exist in such a place. The petitions and the ap peals which come before the various school boards are enough to make one turn pessimist. The worst of it all is that most of these contentions and bickerings are childish and groundless and that they are usually begun and kept alive by men who have at heart but little interest in. ?nv school. Li settling most of these disputes, Sol omon's judgmen between the two wo men claiming the child would be wholesome. It is to these jealousies and quarre's that we owe two, three and even four little starving schools where but one ought-to be. To them we owe the little district unable to support a school. Every influential local cele brity wished to have a school house at his front door or in his backyard. To these jealousies we owe most of the defeated local tax elections. Nearly all the local disputes over the teacher have their origin in neigh borhood jealousies, and the baneful habit of constant change of teachers has its roots embedded here. A certain district school is support ed by ten families. All is well, but the school house stands on the south side of a little creek which about once a year reaches a depth of four feet. A and B suddenly conclude that this innocent stream is a men ace to the lives of their children, and oetition for a new district. The next session finds a little 20 by 20 foot hull of a school house on the north side of that creek, and a little life less school on each side of it. Or, Cs bad boy is punished by the teach er; straightway ? raises the flag of secession, and proceeds to have his own little d-e-e-:strice cut off. Or, one of the local economists gets tired of paying a teacher $40 a "month, since his daughter would teach for $30; the trustees will not yield to the economist; then the economist canvasses the district in thc interest of a new set of trustees, vrith the economist as chairman. Or, J} and E are rival physicians already at odds; D says that Smith's boy has a contagious disease, and must be stopped from the school; E declares that the disease is only infectious, and that it would be silly to stop Smith's boy; the quarrel rages, the partisans array themselves, and down goes the local school tax proposed by the only really- interested patron of the school. Or, X begins to dis cuss a new school house; Y says that the old one is good enough, an<j that X is trying to lead the district; no new house is built, and the old one gradually rots down. Or, Miss Brown, the teacher, hoards with the Smiths; the Joneses feel neglected, and begin to whisper it about that the teacher cannot solve Sallie Jones' problems or parse Sallie's sentences; the Smiths retaliate by asserting that the teacher is able to teach the whole Jones family: result-the anti-Smith faction's children are taught next session by Miss Sallie Jones herself. Once more, Mr. Brown, with much religious devotion to his correll creed, demands thats the new teach er shall be an X-ist; Perkins Y-ism at onee begins to ferment while Stubbs declares that Z-ianism has been outraged, since there has not been a X-ian teacher in thc school in five years. When thc new teach er comes, is he to teach X-ist doc trine, Y-ist doctrine, Z-ian doctrine, or should he be a simple God-fearing man whose daily life will be a re buke to these clamorous Pharisees? All this may sound like satire, but it is a mask rehearsal of a play wheie the curtain never falls. Cannot some neighborhoods see themselves in the play? BANKERS OPPOSE IT Object to Both Guaranty and Postal Savings Banks MEETING OF MANY FINANCIERS By an Overwhelming Majority the Trust Company Section of the American Bankers' Association Pass Resolution, Introduced by Col. F. H. Fries, of Winston-Salera, Against the Guarantee of Bank De posits. Denver, Col., Special.-The" trust jompany section of the American Bankers' Association went on record in opposition to the bank deposit guarantee proposition, making the third subsidiary association of the American bankers to declare itself thus. A motion to vote on postal savings banks was defeated. All the speeches made were against the pos tal savings bank plan. The resolution against the guaran tee of bank deposits was offered by Co!. F. H. Fries, of Winston-Saler?, N". C., who acted for the legislative ?ommittee. This introduction of the resolution precipitated a debate, led by Breckenridge Jones, of St. Louis, in the negative, as to whether the sec tion had a constitutional right to con sider any p. ^position not of exclusive interest to trust companies. The res olution was carried 74 to 5. In the election of officers A. Jack son, of Philadelphia, was chosen president. Col. F. H. Fries was elect ed one of the new members of the ?xecutive committee. ' w Among a dozen called on for re marks was Carl Williams, of New Fork, formerly president of the trust company section. He said that 20 per cent, of the banking power of the United States was in New York and that it was unanimously against the guarantee of bank deposits. Col. F. H. Fries, president of the Wachovia Loan and Trust Company, of Winston-Salem, N. C., spoke be fore the trust company section of the American Bankers' Association on ;<Radicalism and Conservatism in Fi nancial Measures and Legislation." He devoted a considerable part of his address to the proposition of a postal savings bank and the present much-discussed principle of guaran ty of bank deposits. He said in part: "Grave dangers are looming upon our horizon, evidences of an ap proaching storm that may be quite beyond our control. The gravity of these dangers lies in the fact thal an unenlightened public is largely in fluenced, if not controlled, by active and energetic politicians, who them selves are either deceived or who are seeking their own advantage re ?ardlss of the consequence. "The gravest ?anger lies in the present tendency to put the govern ment in the banking business for the supposed good of the people. For the want of a better name we designate it 'radicalism', meaning thereby the i embodiment of the radical ideas con- ' eerning financial matters that have ? been advanced by politicians and that are now presented to the peo pie." < Haskell Will Sue Hearst. Kansas City, Mo., Special.-A spe cial to The Times from Guthrie, | j Okla., says: Governor C. N. Haskell is preparing to bring suit in the next few days against William R. Hearst, because of the latter's charges con cerning Governor Haskell's alleged connection with an attempt to bribe Frank S. Monnett for the Standard Oil Company.

Twelve Counties Go "Dry." Columbus, 0., Special.-Twelve counties voted Tuesday under the Rose law and all went dry by ma jorities ranging from a few hundred to more than 2,000. The number of saloons affected is 239. Most of the counties which voted arc largely ag ricultural, but Scito and Lawrence counties have a large urban popula tion in Portsmouth and Ironton, re spectively. Altogether 16 of the 88 counties in the State have held local option eloctions and all have gone "dry." The total number of saloons voted out is 390. Georgia Cotton Crop Shortest in < Years. Atlanta, Ga., Special.-"The cot- i ton crop of Georgia will be the short- j est in years," said Commissioner of , Agriculture Hudson. "A conserva- j tive estimate of the total yield is 1 1,300,000 bales as against 2,100,000 , bales last year." According to Com missioner Hudson's statement the de crease for the year will be 800,000 | bales.

Yellow as gold, with the sheen of the sea, billowing from sky line to sky-line like an ocean of gold, where the wind touches the rippling ?.ave crests with, the tread of invisi ble feet. In California, in Oregon, in Washington, in Dakota, in the Ca nadian Northwest, you may ride all day on horseback through the wheat fields without a break in the flow ot' yellow heavy-headed grain. No fence lines. No meadow lands. No shads trees. No knobs and knolls and hills und hollows of grass or black earth through. From dawn till dark, from sunrise in a burst of fiery splendor over the prairie horizon to sundown when the crimson thing hangs like a huge shield of blood in the haze of a heat twilight-you may ride with naught to break the view between you and the horizon but wheat-wheat. it is like the gold fields. It goes to your head. You grow dizzy looking at it. You rub your eyes. Is it a mirage? Billowing yellow waves seem to bc breasting the very sky. Y"ou look up. The sky is there all right with the black mote of a mead ow lark sailing the azure sea. He drops liquid notes of sheer mellow music down on your head, does that meadow lark and that gives you back vour perspective, your sense of amaz ing reality. You are literally, ab solutely, really, in the midst of a sea of living gold. It is yon "nd not Mie lark that is the mote. You begin to feel as if your special mote might be a beam that would get lost in in finity if you staid there long; and ?o you ride on-and on-and some more on-and by and bye come out of the league-long, fenceless fields with an odor in your nostrils that isn't exactly like incense-it's too fugitive, 'oo fine, too sublimai of earth. It is aromatic, a sort of attar of roses, thc imprisoned fragrance of the bil lions upon billions of wheat flowers sliut up in the glumes of the heavy headed grain there. And that's the odor of the wheat-From "Harvest ing (he Wheat," by Agnes C. Laut in flie Outing Magazine for October. Insignificant Work. Big men do big things, but how many big things are big failures. The biggest ship that ever was built was no profit to anybody until it was sold and broken up for old junk. Many a little ship during the same time had made good voyages, and brought profit to its owner. A man writes a big book; he is a great man, but few people ever read his book, yet it is learned and bulky, and perpetu ates the man's fame through genera tions. Another man writes a little letter, a pamphlet, an epistle, which can be read in an hour, carried in the pocket, copied in a little while, sent through the mails, cr printed on a few pages, and that little pamphlet is translated into hundreds of lan guages, scattered by millions in ev ery quarter of the globe. Paul, chained to a soldier in his hired house at Rome, wrote no big books.. A dozen pages would contain the largest tratise he ever wrote, and vet the thoughts there embodied and the truths there declared, live through all ages and go to the ends of the earth.

B ?pple Trees Are Long Livers. How can an apple tree grow? I ive a few of the trees planted by? conodoab, the Onieda chief, with , ominie Kirkland, the missionary, ' i 1791. These trees, now consid .ably over one hundred years of age, ill bear an abundance of fruit. The ood is in good condition, notwith- 1 anding many years of neglect. The re rage age of an orchard, as geu .ally planted and cared for, rarely cceeds fifty years. I am inclined to link that the more sturdy sorts can ? made to exceed one hundred and Pty years. In order to attain any ich age there must be a selection cf j ireties, and they must be grafted . gh up on tough stock. Our father's | pple trees were grafted in the tops; at the apples planted in these days re grafted in *the roots. However. ie must not cling too long to an old .ee.
