TAKE NOTICE.
We have announced in each issue !
for several weeks that we do not send
notices to subscribers but all of them!
are requested to examine the labels I
on their papers and renew before the \
time is out so that you may not miss,
an issue. We make corrections on j
the first and fifteenth of each month. |
If your time is out and you have not j
renewed or asked us to send the paper j
nr> until it was convenient for vou to i
come to town or to send the money j
the paper is discontinued at the expi- j
ration. We want all of you to remain
with us as we have said time and
again, but in order to do so you must
attend to the matter of your sub- j
scription. The 15th will be here be- '
fore the next issue and after that issue
all who have not renewed or reniiAsitprJ
in to sr-nd the imuer on for
a few days will be taken oi?. If there
should be a mistake in your credit if
you will call it to our attention we
will dadlv make the correction. The
? v "
only book we keep is the mailing list
and it is difficult to look up and verify
dates after the paper h:;s been discontinued.
Attend to this matter at
once.

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

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

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 ?
