We are printing from the Greenwood Index-Journal a very interesting story of the country school. That is, it is interesting to us, because it paints a true story of the country school as we knew it in the days long gone, and recalls to mind many of I the boys who were in school then, I and many of them now passed to their reward. We are quite sure that the young editor of the Index' Journal must have substituted some temporary editor for the writing of j this very interesting article, because he is too young to have known from his own experiences so many of the details of the country school of the days of which the writer tells. We know that many of the older j readers of The Herald and News will j recognize the picture as here given, j and those who are not old enough to j have enjoyed the good old country! school will be interested in reading! such a true picture of it. . It was generally located near a church and with a spring hard by, and the boys were always willing for j i the opportunity to go to the spring J? I , for water. |j ' And the dinner bucket, who does j not remember that very important j adjunct to the life of the country school. In those days the school^ 'took in" early in the morning and j it was an all day session, and the: children usually reached home just in j time to bring up the cows and to help ! p- dc the many things about the country | home. But that dinner bucket was; a great institution. In the winter it; had the sausage and pudding and j H 'spare ribs and always the bottle of molasses and the biscuits and the j J H finger was used to make the hole in I K the biscuit into which the molasses | / was poured. And the long recess I tf: was generally about an hour, and in, I the warm weather marbles was the; |L- . great American game. We have shot! U: them until the nail on our thumb | would be worn to the bleeding point, j & and in those days we were a crack g shot at marbles. jgt We agree with the writer that there; I ** tt * ' should be somewhere in tne nan 011 |> Fame a statue to the country school: teacher of the old time. And some- j || how we just can't help our partiality \ to the old Blueback spelling book and! to Smith's grammar with its thirty1 three rules that we had to memorize,; / and once you did you generally spoke I Ipretty correct English. f The teaching today is too much! Tontine, too much machine work, not j enough developing of the individual,; and the individuality of the child.! Each child becomes too much a part of the great machine. It may be that it is good for democracy, btot not good for the developing of the highest type of sturdy manhood and strong individuality. But we only started out to call the I, . > attention of the reader to this article fl: from the Index-Journal, and to say ?? how much we enjoyed the reading of \i it, and that we wanted you to. have the came pleasure, and we know you ? /i 1 ?will if you are old enougn ana nave | been fortunate enough to have had I the advantage of attending the old \ country school here explained and j - pictured. Pity is that they are no j more. I WENT OVER SEAS BUT CAME BACK AGAIN ? In the list of the dead from New- j1 St berry county, whihc was read at the ' ^ gv memorial meeting in Newberry last ffnnHav - was the name of Mr. Olin W. Bundrick. We have a j v letter from Mr. Bundrick under date I October 22, stating as follows: "Dear i l?. Mr. Aull; In reading the account of ^ ; the memorial meeting in honor of the i Newberry soldiers and sailors which was held in the court house last Sun- , day afternoon I noticed my name pub- j ] lished as one of the honored and j ] sacred ones. While I participated in : j % the world war over seas I did not, ( snnreme sacrifice, and 1j < Uiaav r_ ^ would like for a correction to be made 1, to that effect." I; We are glad that Mr. Bundrick was able to come back again and be with . us, and like all the others he did his duty while he was over there. Mr. Bundrick is now the principal of the school at Ft. Motte and instructor in English. - ! Charlie Haynes. One of the first Newberry county J boys to lose his life in the World War ! was Charlie Haynes of the Newberry 1 mill village.
