SENECA'S SCHOOL. Wo direct attention to the letter of our Seneca correspondent this week. lt contains a very interesting account of what tho Seneca school, under the supervision of Mr, Cotilos, and in co operation willi tho faculty of Clem son College, is accomplishing III the department of vocational training, and it seems to us that the Seneca school is approaching the ideal in the public school system. What the Sen eca school is doing, it seems to us. is what every school in the county that can take up this branch of work ought to be doing. Wo hope that the information given by our Seneca cor respondent will be tho means of call ing to the attention of the people of our county the possibilities that are open to tho various schools in our midst. The schools that are do ing special work are the ones thal are accomplishing most for the chil dren attending. Every government opportunity that is presented should ho taken advantage of. for we should always keep in mind Ibo fad Ilia Hie best in educational facilities for the children of Oconee ls none loo good for them. Lol us strive always le get everything for them thal it is possi ble to secure. "PUHOATOltV." Some time ago we told our f aders Where WO had been for several of the preceding months.
