?|t f|entlji unU Jem Catered ?t the Pottofiice at NewHnrJt 3. C.f as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, October 28, 1921. We have had fine October weather. The dust has been a little bad on the public roads but the weather has been all that any one could expect or desire. It is getting time that the election o* member of the legislature from this County was ordered. Mr. Eugene S. Blease has been nominated in the primary for the vacancy, but there is to be an election, and it is held under the direction of the commissioners of state election and is to be ordered by the speaker of the house of representatives. We hope the civic association w.ll not take it as presumption on the part of The Herald and News if we should suggest that the association take up one thing, and pursue it until the ob-, ject is accomplished. You know there is a poem written by some of the eld poets which says something about pursuing one object and something; would be accomplished before life be done. There is a great work in every community for a good live community j organization and there is no telling what can be accomplished by com-j munity effort and community crgani-, zation. 1 ?? | * While we are trying to do something for the betterment and improve-1 ment of our town, and it is right and proper, and while the. civic assoc'ation is beginning to function, howj would it do for the civic association j to request the trustees of RcseAcnt; cemetery to call a meeting of the lot owners in this cemetery and to co:i-j fer together and see if we could not i all cooperate in an e^ort to make' some respectable and decent drive-: ways in this place. We have beenj talking and writing about the condi-s b'nri nf Ro?emont for nieh on to forty i years, and the driveways are just about in the same condition they were when we first began, and in fact we are inclined to the opinion that they j are not as good. This is not meant j to be taken as a criticism of any or.e, j but just a statement of fact and ai suggestion to see if we can not get! cooperation to improve a condition. We are sure that the trustees who are self-perpetuating would be glad to cooperate with the civic association in the calling a meeting of the lot owners with a view to cooperating mj the improvement of the conditions in! this sacred spot. <$> <S> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <& <$> <S> I would like for the trustees and < teachers to send me a notice when the compulsory attendance law is put in effect in the district. You will recall that the time is to be fixed by the trustees of each district, and when it is in operation the teacher is required to send a list of all absences to the j trustees, and unless such list accompanies the salary warrant it shall not be approved by the trustees nor paid k by the superintendent of education. ? It is important that the superir?tendJi ent know when the law is in operation. I am hoping to get ou: a circular letter to all trustees and teachers.; and will do so just as soon as I can. I I calf attention to all teachers who j may see "this that a copy of the^ompulsor'j* law is printed in the back of each school register. I hope to be able to write a little story of each day that Miss Thomas j P spent with me in our visits to the j schools, and of the associations organ- j |||1? ized, and to give the officers. 1 have j ^B^^^gone with the story only through one j "~ * ' ' -* i?->k : day, ana tne last pape: was usivu other -matter, ana to be frank, I have j not been able to find time to writo' the story. On Tuesday of last week we start-j I ed With Monticello and our appoint-! Bfck ment was at 9 o'clock. We were there j on time, but none of the parents came except Mr. O. F. Dennis, one of the 1 x twtfooe not MU trustees, jl hc uclivi w glllff' present. I regret this because I would gfff - like to have the evidence of mora laterest on the part of thes;? good peo/x>j)Ie in their school. There is an enflHL^ raiment in this rchooi of ?)\um i s'\'v iffillf ' llPl children and two teachers, Mis:;-s Eunice Livingston and Helen Nicn >Is. ' It depends upon state equalizing aid in order to run seven months, and we 3m will have to do something to ra Ijfjl 'some money in order to avoid a deii|f cit, and I was hoping to get the comfi| munity organized so that we might g raise just a little to take care of incidentals and necessary expenses 'above the salary of the teachers. In i fact we must devise some means, bej cause the effort this year is to close each school without a deficit, and in order to <ret the state aid we must run |seven months, and to do so and avoid I a deficit there must be some funds from some source apart from the reg:ular income. We did not organize at ! this school, but the teachers promised j to take it up with the good people of the community and make an effort to do something. By organized effort much can be accomplised, and while we are at it do good work for the school and the community. I hope that the natrons of this school will get I 1 busy at once. i Our next stop was at U'JNeiii. There are three teachers here, Mr. Jf. F. Pugh as principal and Mrs. Estclle Boozer av.d Mrs. A. F. Pugh as assistants. They have an enrolment of about 'SO. Several of the ladies of the community were present, though not as many as I had expected. They have long had a good school at O'Neall and at times the school spirit was at high tide. I am afraid there is not that enthusiasm here that I would like to see, though we organized an association and I am sure if they will call a meeting at once and o-of Hncv fhpv will have here one of the iivest and most active associations in the county. It is very important that they do so, because here is mother place that it is necessary to have some income apart from the regular source. Mrs. Sallie Long was elected president and Miss Lucile Wise vice-president; Mrs. Pearl Dominick secretary; Mrs. W. H. Long, treasurer. I hope these good people down this side will wake up ar.d get up steam and do something to get this school through without a deficit at the close of the school year. They can do it if they make up their minds to do so. We drove from O'Xeall to Saluda and here we met quite a number of the ladies of the community and had a very pleasant hour with the children and the mothers and friends of the children. After a talk by me and Mirs Thomas an association was organized with Mrs. R. C. Hunter as president and Miss Ethel Mayer as secretary. tVioxt li9v? nnK- t.wft teachers. Mr. R. C. Hunter and Miss Marjorie Hawkins. They do not have sufiiciant children to qualify either as a twoteacher rural graded school or as securing aid under the equalizing law, though they have voted the eight mills tax and yet they manage to run a seven months' school and do npt have a deficit. One of the ple-isani features of this stop was the excellent picnic dinner which the good women n-F tr.rt pnmnnnitv served for Uf, and to say we cn;.oyed it is not necersary, because we proved that by the way in which we partook. Mrs. Hunter had sent me word or Saturday previous that she would have lunch for us, but we had no right to expect such a display of so many good things to eat, and yet they were there just like the good women of this section knw ~~ 1 Vir>i*y f n nrnnnrp A : t T \V . *1 i" ?XII nun i/v v* . ? . - . to thank them for their kind thcughtfulnfcss. I believe that the association organized here is going to do some good work. If Monticello and O'Neall and Saluda could get together and either establish a centralized high school, or put the three schools into one, they could do much better work for the r?Vnl.-l~pri nrm* in the three schools, with one teacher less, than they are now doing, because then they would not have to have so many grades to the teacher. We had a meeting down there the past summer and talked about doing something. I hope it may maierialize into something good for the many children that are down there. Sometimes it is well to let matters of this kind soak. It seems to me that the best thing would be to have one good schoc' with the high school and the elementary school all together, and then we could have a real school. I trust the people are thinking about it. When we reached St. Lukes we found several of the men and women present, and while we were a little otf schedule by the time we reached the school house, there was no impatience on the part of the people for | the wait, and we had a good meeting here. They have four teachers and about 110 children enrolled. Mr. X. L. Wessinger is the principal with Mr?. X. L. Wessinger and Misses Eula and Chloe Epting as assistants. After talk by me and Miss Thomas we organized an association with Mrs. X. E. Hunter as president and Miss Eula Eoting as secretary. St. Lukes need? -a new building with a large auditorium :-o that the met*ting., of ihe community might be held in the school house. In fact, even for the purpose of teaching the building is no: adequate in many respects. But ' ' ' i do not want 10 see any niuntry >ur'u on the present buiiciin?r. because it has been .mo uT my }?ets .-ince ! held C the office some- eight years ago to! |unite St. Lukes and Big Creek and' ' establish out here in the country a ihigh school with five or six teachers) ! but even a five teacher high school;: ; would better work than six teachers ! I in the two schools separated as thev are can possiblv do now. I am pro- : paring petition, now, and will send'; them down in a few days, and we will ask the people of the two districts to ' express themselves on the matter of; uniting and establishing a real school/' They have now about 150 or more!: children in the two districts, and; there is no reason that I can see why' these children should not have the ; advantages of a real high school right cut in their own community, and I rrrnv?r?? t r\ rrum fVloiv nOVOTlfc fV*0 opportunity to establish one. and we will build with a good large audi tori- ] um which will enable the community ; to have all scrts of meetings that will : be helpful to all the people. It can 1 be done and should be without any'i i further delay. A community so,' thickly settled with good sturdy and prosperous white farmn-s as this one;.' should have a real school in keeping : fnmmiinifv ni\n < ?in Willi 11(111 muiuvj v*v v? . aw.vw ... other respects. I hope to see them ! cooperate in the building of the. i sthool. M t v !i I We went on to Big Creek, but there : was no one there to meet us and of : course we made no effort to organize ; jan association, but Miss Thomas made 1 la helpful talk to the children. The] (teachers at Big Creek are Miss Ethel 1 I Saner and Miss Mattie Harmon. I j I feel that the children of St. Lukes i land Big- Creek are entitled to just as' I 1 good educational advantages as the children of any other community and that they have the opportunity to have these advantages and I hope to be able to prove it to the parents and gcod citizens of the community. And if I can make them see it I feel sure ' that they will act and go to work to : knilrl f'np <5f>rt nf <s''hnol thev should 1 ihave. I understand that Big Creek J iis almost unanimous in the opinion ;That the uniting of the two schools is the proper thing to do. ' ; i I j On our return we stopped at the* ; Prosperity high school and met with the association at this school. Mrs. ' Quattlebaum was having a practice for a play with Lome of the primary pupils and we had the opportunity to observe some of her excellent training work. After it was over Miss Thomas explained to the parent-1 ; teachers association the community ' r>rrrir>i?nf'<-?n ami fVin mpmhprs nnari- ! j mously agreed to change the name of ,the organization to the community j league and to cooperate with the state : association. I am pleased that they : did because then the district will get j credit'-in the published reports for the work that is being done. They have j a real live association at Prosperity and one that does things and that is what we need in every school district in the county. j I i Wednesday morning our schedule | carried us to Jolly Street at 9 o'clock land here we found several of tiic {parents and, trustees present, though j the -impression got abroad that the ihour was 9:30 and we got oil schedule | by waiting the half hour. There are ! j'three teachers at this school, Rev. S. | !p.%Xoon as principal and Mrs. Bessie i Richardson and Mrs. Mary L. Boinest 'as assistants and the enrolment is j around 80 children. In the early days of the new sjhocl some six or vight I years ago there was a live and active J association here for the benelit of the' IrchocI, and the need is realiy more ur-' ! gent today to do something to keep! j the school going than it was then, i The pay of the teachers is double and the orher expenses in proportion and the income is not growing in proportion. To meet incidentals and to avoid a deficit there must be something doing more than the ordinary j sources of income and the equalizing |aid and I am expecting the association \ that has been organized to get busy ! and help avoid a deficit at the close ! of the present school session. The community league was organized with the following officers: Mrs. H. B. j Richardson president, Mrs. Mary L. jBoinest secretary, Mrs. G. I. Kir.ard , i vice president, Mrs. S. R. Metis ! treasurer. Mrs. W. B. Boinest chair- J j man program committee, Mrs. E. K. I Hfnvtf Atiiilmnn enpiol fnmmit'tnp j >> CI to V. 1 A J L lllCVii CUtiCU ; , Mrs. Minnie Liviingston chairman membership committee, Mrs. J. M. Dowd sanitation committee. It is i very important that this district t j should get busy and help to raise some money to meet the incidental j expenses ?o that we may finish the 'year without a deficit. We must do something to end the year's work withoui having a deficit. I hope to hear good things from the work of the; good women of this communitv. Our next stop was Pomaria. There | was a large crowd out to the school | house and the Pomaria folk have the j i i i iirht sort of school spirit and are j I ------- - , working; together for the school. They have recently voted a bond issue and 1 ( have added four class rooms to the building1 and have three teachers in the elementary department and two in the high school, and have a real . x _ i. i,! ?i i i rn ..i. :_ s::ue n:g:: scnooi. mt; wo:k i- .uoii:-, tdong in excellent shape. There has been a good organization of the women at this place for several years, and they have done good work for the school and the community, but they have not been in close touch '.vith the state organization, and therefore have not made reports to the state organizer and no credit has been given for what has been done. Mrs. J. B. Bcdenbaugh is the president of the organization and she has the cooperation of all the ladies of the community and the men too. It was decided to cooperate with the state organization and to run the money through the county treasury and in this way credit will be given for the work that is being done ar.d the organization will compete for one Dr more of the state prizes. The teachers in the school are, Mr. J. II. Bedenbaugh principal with Mrs. L. B. Bedenbaugh assistant in the hi^h school department, and Misses Willie Bell Duckett, Rosa Thompson and Robci'ta 'Lominick in the elementary department, and the children are irettinjr on line. We had a fine dinner with Mrs. J. B. Bcdenbaujrh and family and then moved on to the next --.top. And we enjoyed the dinner sr.d desire to express our appreciation of the thoughtfulr,ess of Mrs. Bederbaugh in making' this provision for us. - r". H. A. AUTOMOBILE KILLS SPARTANBURG CHILD Spartanburg, Oct. 25.?Vivian Bost, the nine year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bost, was run over :>n the Glendale road, near the Country club, by an automobile and almost nstantly killed today. The little girl had been attending the cooperative school and was returning home. A truck is used to transport the children to and from their homes. The child Gjot out of the truck and went around the end of it to go into her home. As Liie clearned the truck a car driven by Buford Phillips <}f 255 Brawley street, accompanied by Herman Lindsay, 287 College street, passed on the wrong side of the truck, it is said, and ran over the child, crushing her ' mmssm if ;C?".J-.
