more and more awake to the neces-! i sity of regularity in school attend- j ance. Last year we paid the teachers in ^ the high school and four lady princi- t pals $70 per month. Our domestic j science teacher was paid $75.00 per, month and the principal of the high i school was paid a salary of $1100.00 j for a session of nine months. Eighteen of the teachers were paid $60 per month aqd one $50 per month. For next session we have employed our teachers at the following salaries: Principal of the high school $1200 for a session of nine months;. five teachers in the high school for; $75 per month; four principals at $75 per. month; one principal at $65 per month; ten teachers at $65 per month; seven at $60 per month; and one at $55. The colored teachers are employed for next session at the following salaries: Principal at $55 per month; eight teachers at $35 per month; and one teacher at $30 per month. Three janitors jire emloyed at a salary of $25 per month; and one at $6 per month. - ' | We give you these figures in order that you may compare these salaries with salaries receved by teachers in ' -Al /vf +Vio C170 nf Npvvhf>T umer scauuio ui uiv, ry. Upon comparison you will see that these salaries are below the average and much lower than those paid by many schools. We know that the citizens of Newberry are interested in good schools, but can we hope to hold for many more years our best teachers?and we have some of the very best in the State?at the salaries we now pay, with the slight increase we are able to offef. from year to year? Our present income is inadequate for the needs of the schools. We ought to have three teachers for the I sixth grade next session instead of. two as we have at present. It is nec-1 essary that we have an additional j teacher for the colored scshools. We j are crowded at the high school. The office has been used for a recitation room for the past two sessions. Another classroom is needed to be used I by the classes in agriculture and for a physical laboratory. The auditorium needs to be nelarged. The high school heating system is unsatisfac- j tory and expensive. Speers street | school needs about $1500.00 for re-j pairs. The colored school two years ago outgrew the accommodatons at Hoge school building. For two years | we have made temporary arrangements by renting a house in the western nart of town on Taylor street for the colored pupils in the upper grades, but it is doubtful if we can make this arrangement much longer. J We really need another building fori the colored pupils. It seems that the time has already come when we must take another step forward in school building and finances. We regret that conditions were such this session that it seemed expedient that the closing exercises of the schools be dispensed with. It is true that we had no graduating class, - " !_ for the reason that we naa 110 pupns in the eleventh grade the past session, but we would have had a debate, a play, or some other form of closing exercises had we had the time to prepare for it. The pupils, were being worked hard in doing their regular school work and we thought it altogether unfair to ask them to undertake some extra work for closing exercises. We heartily indorse hav ing public exercises both during and at the close of the school year, hav1 x ? eoccinn WC mg iosz so mucii tunc tmo ??% thought that any extra work woulc necessarily mean a neglect of then school work, and therefore caus< some pupil to fail, who otherws< would make his grade.

He understood that the young lady iteachers received $65 per month for 7 | nine months, but they had to use that to live on for the twelve months, and | 9 it was insufficient. He moved that i a committee of five be appointed 6 (with the chairman of the meeting as _ I chairman of the committee to go ini to the situaton thoroughly and lay it 3 j before the people of the district ;6 .through the press, and then call an,7, other meeting of the citizens to deid cide what they shall do about this c_ most important duty. The motion r, | was adopted and the chairman said al he would announce the committee >y later. )f j Rev. Dr.'J. W.

Prof, annon said seven of his teachers ere now at Winthrop summer ;hool to better fit them for their ork. The meeting adjourned without xing a time to hear the report of snecial committee, but it can be illed again for that purpose, and it to be expected that the chairman ill appoint the committee very soon.
