supervisor of rural schools for Newberry
county and the board at a meeting
on 'Tuesday accepted the resigna
tion. Miss Gogg^ns resigns to accept
a similar position in Richland county.
Tl e board decided not to fill.'ihe positio^.
owing to the fact that the
money is not available to bear the expense.
At the close of the school year
the board fund was overdrawn $68,
and the salary of the rural supervisor
has been paid largely from tf is fund.
Miss Goggans is a very enthusiastic
anri intAlliVpnt worker and was
much interested in the schools of
Newberry county. She was active in
the organization or improvement associations
among the rural schools
ancU did much to improve conditions
by visits and encouraging talks to the
patrons and ci ildren. By her enthusiasm
and energy she kept up the in
erest in the teachers' associations and
these meetings were always well attended.
ffinnh' is h?A nonerattl
lated on securing such an enthusiastic
and intelligent worker for the rural
schools of that county. j
The following is taken from The
State of Thursday morningr
Miss Sadie Goggans of Newberry
has been elected supervising teacher
for rural sd'.ools in Richland county
by the new county board of educa
tion. mis announcement was iuaut;
yesterday by Patterson Wardlaw,
chairman of the county board. tMiiss
Goggans is now taking a course at
George Peabody College for Teachers,
Nashville, Tenn., and she expects to
take up her new work in this county
about September 1.
Concerning fete appointment of
Miss Goggans, J. E. .Swearingen, State
superintendent of education, said yes
terday:
"In securing the services of. Miss
Sadie Goggans as supervising teacher
for Richland county, the new county
board of education and the patrons of
the public schools are peculiarly fortunate.
Miss Goggans comes to Ridiland
from her home county of Newberry,
where sl-e has served as super
vising teacner xor iue ya.sL two ;cais.
Her marked success has won her a
reputation not only in the State, but
throughout ithe South. While fcer first
duties related directly ,to teaching
methods and classroom efficiency, she
was vitally interested in every public
scToo! problem and gave, herself energetically
and ungrudgingly. to any
task that needed to be doneRecord
5n dewberry.
"Largely in consequence of her work
Newberry county now boasts of one of
the best corps of teachers in the State.
The supervising teacher was an inspiring
factor in the teachers' institutes
and the county teachers' association
of 1913 and 1914. Every educational

combined to make the field days of
1913 and 1914 gala seasons for the
old folk and strong agencies for stimulating
teachers and pupils in every
community.
"In her work Miss Goggans stands
for thorough scholarship, the best professional
methods and continued
growth and study in teachers. Herself
a graduate of the Newberry city
schools and of Winthrop college, she
has taugi" t successfully in her native
State and in the West.
"Her experience covers Dotn rural
and urban schools. Her success in the
elementary grades of the Dallas
schools brought her an offer of the
c!':air of methods in one of the Texas
State normals. 'This flattering professional
promotion she declined, preferring
to return to South Carolina

Now that the washing hung on the

An Interesting Letter From a Newberry
Teacher Telling the 3Tany
Advantl.iges Teachers Derive.
Special to The Herald and News:
(Nashville, Tenn., July 15.?Dr. G. B. |
Winton made an address on Mexico
last Wednesday. His subject was
"Armed Intervention in Mexico." Having
lived for twelve years in Mexico,
j Dr. Winton is thoroughly familiar
with the social, political and economic
conditions in that country. He therefore
is bitterly opposed to intervention.
His reasons are: "It is unjustifiable;
it would be detrimental to Mexi
ico; it would be disadvantageous ito
the United States, and it would arouse
the hostility of the other Spanish!
AmpriMn States."
On Wednesday nigf:t of last week
the students and faculty of Peabody
college had the rare privilege of attending
a reception and recital given
at Ward-Belmont.
The grounds and buildings were inspected
with much interest and admiration,
after which delightful refreshments
were served. All present pronounced
it a most enjoyable feature of
tf' e summer school.
The pageant given on July 3rd by
all the Scates was quite an educational
feature, as well as an interesting one.
The South Carolinians were very attractive
in their decorations of cotton
bolls and palmetto flags. Their conj
tribution to the Goddess of Liberty
I was a symbol of the industrial prod|
uo;s of the State.
At the general assembly Monday
Miss Ola Powell of ti'"e United States
department of agriculture spoke on
the "Girl's Canning Club," -outlining
its recent growth and its place in the
economic ' side of rural life in the
South. During the entire week demonstration
canning lessens and excel'ent
talks on this work were given on
the Peabody campus under the beautiful
trees.

Quite a jolly bunch enjoyed a delightful

Friday afternoon a party of sixteen
visited the Knapp farm and Saturday,
under the direction of Mr. I. H. Gibson,
about one hundred students made
a trip to the Hermitage, the magnificent
old home of the Southern president,
Andrew Jackson.
Miss Goggans told you of our interesting:
work, which we are enjoying,
and regret tf:at toe term lasts only
five weeks. The social part is all Miss
Goggans left for me to tell. She is
working very hard; we are afraid she
will exhaust the libraries before the
term ends. However, she finds time
to take a ride occasionally. Miss Neel
is always anxious to know if it is mail
time. She is wholly unable to concentratel
P:er mind until that is given out.
illr. Wilson is >very studious in the
mornings, but it is not uncommon to
see him happily engaged in conversation

self. It is time well spent, as you

Should Investigate.
"Mr. Speaker," quoth the member of
the house, "I would Hke to ask if there
are any committees investigating anything?"
"There are none," replied the speaked.
It was a moment of intense
though suppressed excitement.
"I move," exclaimed the member
with deep feeling, "the appointment of
a committtee to investigate why nothing
is being investigated. If t?e conditions
are 'become such that there is
nothing to investiate, they should be
met with appropriate legislation."?
