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.

Mr. Arthur Kibler said he would
like to hear from the trustees, that ^
they were in closer touch with the s
school than any of the citizens, and
he would like to know wh t theyj
thought should be done and what the
I I
best way to do it. J^,
! Mr. W. A. McSwain, a merpber of j
| the board, said that he was not in as;tl
j close touch with the situation as
some of the others as he had been!
'away practically all the time recent-!
jly, but there was one thing thatj

ipay the teachers more salary when

j In his travels about the State he '1
, found many of the schools in the^
|same condition, lack of necessary;
ifunds with which to make equipment!
and to pay teachers adequate sal-;*
aries. He had had no conference with
| the board as to what they would rec- '
1 ommend, but the situation could be j1
| summed up by saying that we need- j'
; ed more funds and without the addi- j'
> tional funds nothing could be done. |'
I He said citizens had never failed to I
? j"
< i
-! respond when there was need ana
i he believed they would now, when:
I the situation was properly presented;
r(to them. It is necessary in order to
; i increase the efficiency of the school |
? to have two more rooms at the high'
school, and to have two additional
teachers, and we should pay all of]
j our teachers at least $10 a month j
more than we are paying, even with
the raise that has already been made, j
These things will take more funds j
and can not be done without the i
1 funds. |

jthe preacher and the teacher, and
jthey should be paid a living salary.
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. Carsor. thought Mr.
n- Kibler had struck the kevnote and
'
ie .the proper way to go at it.
j Superintendent 0. B. Cannon said
|he believed that lie had the Dest
Iteachers of any school in the State
and they were loyal to the school
* and loyal to the'xrhldren. Wi'.-vy
were teaching e>:trs. : . . -:i
aturdays to make up for lost time
ie children loved to go and when a
(acher can get a child to give up its
)liday with gladness she has some
Dod influence over that child. 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.

Kidney diiease if no respecter of per;

people today can be traced back to
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most Important
?rgunB of the body. They are the
fllterers, the purifiers, of your blood.
Kfdney disease is usually indicated by
weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness, ,
despondency, backache, stomach trouble,
pain in loins and lower abdomen, ,
^all stones, gravel, rheumatism, sciatica ;
and lumbago. ,
All these derangements are nature's <
j signals to warn you that the kidneys
