FINE MEETING OF THE
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
Attendance Good?Address by Mr.
Swearingen?Lunch Served by
Science Department
The first meeting for the session of
the County Teachers association was
h?ld S&tnrdav morning in the hifirh
school building when a large number
of the teachers and trustees were
present, besides the state superintendent
of education, Hon. J. E. Swearingen.
Tbfe meeting was presided over by
Col. E. H. Aull, county superintendent
of education, who called the meeting
to order at 10.45 and prayer was
offered by Dr. Q. A. Freed.
Col. Aull briefly outlined the problems
confronting the schools, among
them being the financial situation in
connection with which he spoke of the
compulsory attendance law and district
lines.
An informal discussion of these
topics was entered upon mainly by the
rural graded school teachers and trustees
as they are closely concerned
.with such matters. The relation of
the rural graded school to the community
was discussed by Mr. J. H.
Dickert, and. Mr. J. Walter Richardson,
and Mr. L. H. Sease and Mr. N.
L. Wessinger discussed conditions in
four-teacher schools. Miss Mamie
Crooks discussed the relations of the
one-teacher school to the community
in a concise manner, showing that
much thought had been given to the
subject.
Mr. C. M. Wilson of Whjtmire discussed,
the relation of the high school
to the community in a practical man'
ner and Advocated. vocational training
in the high school. The opposite
view of this question was taken by
Mr. E: 0. Counts, superintendent of
> , the high ??hpol at Prosperity. Dr.
S. J. Derrick, president of Newberry
COlIegfe, mad? a few remarks, as did
Mr. & H. Bedenbaugh and Mr. Price
K. fiarmon. Prof. O. B. Cannon in
speaking of vocational training in the
schools said that a conservative course
of study in the high school should be
adhered to, as mapped out by the
state board of education, since students
of high school age are not capable
of choosing the best course for
themselves, but that they should be
given a good foundation.'
The principal speaker of the meeting
was the Hon. J. E. Swearingen..
"who is no stranger to Newberry audiences,
and he was introduced by
Col.
Mr. Swearingen's address was along
practical educational lines and he discussed
in detail the problems of' the
rural graded schools.
In discussing the one-teacher
schools he said that they are the fundamental
weakness of the educational
system, although necessary and permanent.
The great drawback to
them is the iacK 01 recitation time auu
the slowness of promotion, and he
stated that teachers of these schools
should limit their work to seven
.grades fn order to put their best efforts
into the work. He s^id that the
chief evil of the one-teacher schools
is the tendency to over-emphasize the
higher grades to the neglect of the
lower.
He outlined the amount of work
that should be attempted by teachers
- " ' * ' J-I 4-?
01 xne two-tea cner, mree-iwtuci
four-teacher schools as recommended
ijjr the state board of education and
stated as his belief that every child in
South Carolina is entitled to a high
school education. He said the line of
general intelligence should be raised
and to do that country schools must
realize their limitations. He spoke in
a most complimentary manner of the
handsome new building at the Mollohon
mill village.
Mr. Swearingen advocated the
standardization of teachers' salaries
which is being attempted by the state
board of education and said that
teachers could not be blamed for going
outside the state when they received
higher salaries than within the
state. He explained the appropriations
made by the legislature for payment
on teachers' salaries and advised
schools to-close when funds are lacking
instead of going into debt.
In his closing remarks Mr. Swearingen
urged the development of the

larger percentage of pupils, as the
support of a school depends largely
upon the r.umber of children attending.

When the Clean Up squad reaches ;
Laurens, 3. C., on Oct. 24, 25, 26,;
to get action on the claims of veterans '
of the World war, its biggest prob-:
lem will be to get in touch with every <J
service man in this territory, who has.
a right to government compensation, j
The squad is composed of experts j;
-L 1 ~
from the various government ouxeaua,,
the Red Cross and the American Legion.
They are familiar in every
detail with the workings of the War
Risk insurance act, and various features
of the different plans of hospital
treatment, medical care and rehabilitation
. work in general. As
soon as they establish personal touch j
with the veterans, they are prepared
to put machinery in motion at once '
to get for them what is coming to.'
them from the government. In this 1
work fhnv ' have everv assurance of
whole hearted cooperation by'the au-jJ
thorities in Washington. J ^
The plan of campaign of the squad
contemplates the avoidance of lengthy j
correspondence and annoying, time i
killing red tape, by getting at first '
hand all information as to each in-,
dividual veteran's case and the ma- j'
chinery is well oiled to get results ,
once it is put in motion.
However, the greatest problem that j
confronts the workers is the estab- j (
lishment of personal contact witn tne j
men they would serve. Many of the j
veterans, in lots of cases, those most j
deserving of government aid, are il- j j
literates. They don't understand even j (
the meaning of "compensation," "re-1 ^
habilitation" and "vocational train- i
i
ing." Many are located in isolated
districts where a newspaper is rarely (
seen.
These men would be tremendously,
anxious to get the benefits of the aid j
that the government is giaa to give, if
they knew that the squad is right ,
at their doors to get it for them.
For this reason, the members of ^
the squad ask that everyone who ,
knows of an ex-service man who may! (
be entitled to aid, get in touch with
him and inform him as to when and J
where the squad wiii be, and as to j
* r* i
what the squad is anxious to do lori
him. Squad headquarters will be'
glad to receive any information dur-!
ing its stay in Laurens.
Disabled veterans who report to
| squad headquarters will be furnished
with transportation back home and
meals and lodging: as long as they
have business with the Clean Up cam-'
paign if they are found to have a
valid claim. It is necessary for every
veteran to bring along his discharge j
In addition to local cases, the squad ,
will take up the affairs and claims of
vpfprnns of Newberrv and Laurens,.

NOT ADVISABLE TO STORE
POTATO VINES FOR SLIPS
During the past few weeks several
farmers growing sweet potatoes visited
the office of our chamber of commerce
for the purpose of ascertaining
wVipthpr nr riot, it would be advisable
to btore potato vines for use as slips
next season. As usual, our chamber
of commcrce always being glad to
render service to the farmers, immediately
took the matter up with the
horticulturist department of Clemson
college, and they are in receipt of a
letter from them advising against
this method.
For the benefit of the farmers seek
ing the information, as well as all
others, we are printing below the letter
received:
Dear Mr. McDaniel:
I have your letter in reference to
the storing of potato vines for use
during the coming season. This can I
be done and1 is sometimes very satis- j
factoi-y; however, we do not think it
advisable as one can grow good slips
and also vines for use during the season
which he intends to make this
planting. I would not advisg trying
this in our state.
Hoping this is the information you
desire, I am, j
Very truly yours,

HORACE JONES SAVES J
DROWNING CHINESE
Chefoo, Aug. 15?A young Chinese
business man of the International
Trading Co. wctat out for a swim with
his brother in the sea along the East
beach of Chefoo Sunday about 7 p.
m. He swam cut some distance and
would have made the shore safely on
his return, had it not been for the
incoming tide which lengthened his |
distance and exhausted all his
strength.
Mr. Jones saf; him go down three
times and suppored at first that he j
was diving, though some distance
away. He soon sa " that the man was
drowning and ra: to his rescue. By
the time Mr. Jones had reached the
vicinity of the drowning man, he had ,
gone under six times, besides being j
drawn under by his brother-in-law, j
who had exhausted his own strength
in is effort to bring the drowning man i
to the shore.
Then began the earnest fight,
against death. Mr.- Jones worked
most skillfully and systematically, and
the drowning man soon began to
breathe, and was restored to his family,
who had supposed that their loved
i
one had died, and was beyond ail pos
sible hope of recovery.
Mr. Horace Jones was having aj
shore leave from the U. S. N. Huron,
and was staying at my house. Mr. j
Jones is the son of Rev. E. Pendleton
Jcnes, an old schoolmate of .mine.

FORMAL OPENING MOLLOHON
MILL SCHOOL BUILLDING
One of the Handsomest Buildings in
State?Address by W. A. Shealy
Supervisor Mill Schools
The formal exercises for the dedi
cation of the new Mollohon school
building were held Friday evening of
last week in the handsome building
which has just been erected by the
management of the Mollohon Manufacturing
company fcr the elementary
education of the young boys and girls
| of that village.
j The exercises were fitting and apipropriate
being held in the spacious
|auditorium. Prof. 0. B. Cannon,
'superimendent of city schools, was
i master of ceremonies, and after the
singing of "America" by the first and
second grades, he called on Rev. Paul
Kennedy to lead in prayer.
I
Prof. Cannon spoke of the great
benefit to the community of the building
and mentioned all that the management
had done for the operatives
and the children, saying that the latter
are the greatest asset any com- * <
munity can have. He urged that the
children show their appreciation by
caring for-the building and asked for
the pAnnoi'ifinn n-f fVio narorit?
The president of the milt, Mr.
George W. Summer, being indisposed
on this occasion, was not able to
speak, and the vice president, Dr.
George Y. Hunter of Prosperity,
spoke of the responsibilities that rest
upon the parents and the older generation
and contrasted the poor educational
advantages of the past with
the great opportunities of the present.
He said that the country calls for
/V? I 1 1 ll i. A. ?
emciem men ana women ana mat wie
children should be trained for all callings.
The state mill school inspector,
Pr^f. W. A. Shealy of Columbia, made
an address in which he spoke highly
of the school as one of the best in the
state and discussed the relations between
mill schools and the regvlar
city schools. He said that the mill
schools are making more progress
than any other schools of .the state,
which is due chiefly to the interest
taken by the mill authorities in the t
excellent teachers employed and the
equipment. He also contrasted the
advantage? of today in the mill villages
with those- of the past.
Col. E. H. Aull, county superintendent
of education, felicitated the .
people of the village on the magnifi
cent building and spoke of the excellent
records made by students who
have gone out from the mill villages
into the broader fields of learning.
An interesting fact mentioned was
that all four members of the graduating
class of the high school of Newberry
the past session 'were from the
mill villages and that two had won
scholarships at leading colleges of the
state. He urged upon the pupils the
necessity of working if they are to
accomplish anything worth while.
The singing by the third and fourth
grades of "South Carolina"?the
words by Dr. Walmsley and music by
Miss Campbell of Winthrop college?
was an enjoyable feature of the program
as was the motion song by the
smaller children. The Mollohon baind
under the leadership of Mr. W. H.
Wher*y furnished excellent mush
preceding the exercises and at inter
vals during the program.
The building itself is worthy of
more than a passing mention. The
structure is of brick arid cement and
the building inside is neatly finished
throughout with white walls and mahogany
facings and polished floors.
The four class rooms are well equipped
with the best school room furnishings.
Besides the class rooms there
are four cloak rooms, also the library
and the auditorium, all the rooms being
well lighted and ventilated. The
building is equipped with modern
plumbing fixtures and electric lights,
and the two-pipe steam system of
heating is used.
The four teachers are Miss Rosalyn
Hipp, principal. Miss Julia Summer,
Mrs. J. F. Hawkins and Miss
Sara Caldwell.
To the management of the Mollohon
Manufacturing company is due
a vast amount of credit for the erection
of this fine building and for the
stand they are taking in regard to the
education of the young boys and
girls who will be the future citizens
of the 5?tate.
