Attend to this matter at once. _ 4 The new road between Prosperity and Little Mountain has been about * * j i completed except the way unaer ine Southern Railway at Excelsior school house. Supervisor Sample says he hopes that this will be completed by the year 1940. It would seem that , the contractor would not care to wait that long on his pay, and let us hope that the supervisor is mistaken in his dates and that even this section of . the road may be open very soon. , That portion of the road in New' * / T 'xil _ berry county and tne town 01 i^iuie Mountain should be built. We would like to see the county join with the town of Little Mountain in the building of this section. It is two miles or more. In fact we expect to the Lexington line it is nearer four miles and when the new section tha? is to be added to Newberry comes in the distance will be at least five miles but! a portion of this road should be re-' located and it should be built at once, j We owe that much to those former Lexingtonians. j REARRANGING THE SCHOOL i SYSTEM ^ vmiVvI ioVi in tr "Pvr*m f l",O H c <i i c LI xi viii vnv A i ^ .. ?. and Courier correspondent at Columbia a reorganization plan for the schools of the state as promulgated , by the University of South Carolina. In many respects we heartily,, en- j dorse the plan, but there is too much supervision and too much theory for j p'...t ;o be worked out just yet, at any rate. The fact is there is too much tendency toward a great een- i traiized government in nil matters to suit our wav of thinking. Too much ! control and not enough left to com-; mon sense and nlain cverv day wav i of doing things. It looks now that everything is to be wet nursed by the government. Instead of gaining the right for the people to govern Themselves we are to be told by rote and rule just what we must do an?i just how we shall act in all matters, in other words such a system as pro- I posed does not develop the individ-; uality of the child but rather has a tendency to make a mere machine out of it. We agree with the plan proposed ! that there should be free tuition in oil cfa+p snnnorted schools. They should be open to all the children of the State, but along with that should go also the abolition of free schol- j arships in all these State supported institutions. The:*; is also the tendency in the recommendations or the plan to put. the schools under federal control and supervision only carrying out what we have said from time to time that +he tendency f -,1 V. * * . j Kii .j.' cl gl v v**. 1 1 eminent, ard noth: wi.. fendc-.i;y . . * edv.catio? i;1 sy.". 1 *. ' * government. All this is repugnantj to our ideas of the principles upon i which our government was founded I by the fathers. We endorse most heartily the sentiment in the last paragraphs of the'? : k plan. Uead them again: ? "The greatest weakr.es- in the | work of our schools at present is j the lack of thoroughness in the fun-J damental studies, especially the read- | in<r and writing: of the mother] ton?rue.'* There are very few of the children who are taujrht to read intelligently, and so fvw wiio can write the English languaire properly, and that should be* the main thing in the education of the child, or at least one of t!,e main purposes. Then again this recommendation seems all richt: "It is the duty of the State to offer so far as possible to every child the opportunity of learning how to make a livinjr. The welfare of society furthermore demands that our schools and colleges give thorough instruction in the culture studies and pure sciences." We do not know that we exactly understand just what the university means by ''the culture studies," but we would like to add just this: There should be more attention given in our schools to the teaching of what we would term manners, inai is a good word and expresses what we mean. The child in this day unfor-' tunately does not get much instruction in this good old doctrine in the 9 " 1 ^ j .1] \ ^ home, in iact ine gooa um aiuch- , can home is almost but a memory. | We have no time now to pay any at-, tention to the training of the child in those good old things which go so far to develop the old time gentleman and the gentle woman so long the boast and pride of this Southland. There is no doubt that our school! system needs revision, but in the making of the new rules and regulations and the adoption of the system there should be in the making some men who are not simply theorists. however learned in the sciences they may be, but there should be some one s who has a jrood modicum of that p;ood old tliinsx that \vq used to cail common sense. L . STILL ANOTHER. ; jj Mr. C. A. Bowman having seen!*' what I said in The Herald and News i about sun dials tells me that there is one in Newberry that was put up j away back in the last century. And j that it stands in the yard of the resi-, dence of Mrs. Clara McCrary at the J old home of the late Chancellor Job j Johnstone and that it has been stand ingr there for many years. Mrs. Mc- I Crarv savs that the only time that it; has been down so far as she knows j since it was put up was when the first' cedar post on which it stood rotted down and a new post had to be made, j I have lived in Newberry a long j time but I never knew before that i there was one here and that there | had been another. j I have no doubt that there are j many persons living in Newberry to- I Vrn-o npvpr ?;ppn a sun dial i Uct%V v> !ivy n?* v nv ? v* -- - - , and have very little idea how one looks. E. H. A. | i The resolution passed by the sen- j ate to erect an office building in i n/Onmhia fm- tho various state de-; V. v/iwia wiu x _ partments which have been renting j quarters has received an unfavorable j report-^pm the ways and means com-; mix tee of the house. The proposition j is to spend a half million dollars in ; the erection of a suitable building, j There have in recent years been i added quite a number of departments j many of which have to secure rooms! at heavy rental for offices. Some fifteen years ago the Univer-' sity was renting homes for the pro- i fessors or many of them. The state ; has a number of acres of land in the j city upon which suitable buildings ior; professors and for office purposes! could be erected. At the time of ]' which we speak it was decided to: build professors houses so that the' S3 state might not only save the rent, but have the homes for the men who j were teaching; at the University. We j do not know if a sufficient number ; were built but we do know that ?cv- j crai v\ i-'i t*. There was need of more office room ? at the same time and before many of the new departments were established. It seems to us that it would be the wise thing for the state to erect a suitable office building and not be renting. Even if it is cheaper to rent it is better to own your own home. And the same is true of the state. This may be a bad time in which to build but it is not probable that there will be a better time in several years and if it pays tc build offices to rent it would pay the state to cw 1 its jj own building and then There vv ? be a perni^ner. *v ;.vvui.
