Surely the world must j be out of joint somewhere. That is a horrible picture that is given of the starving Jews nad the cruelty which they have suffered. Is our civilization a failure when suchj a situation should exist in any part J of the world. The people in one section living in luxury and spending money and substance we could al- i most say in riotous living, and hun-' dreds of thousands in other parts of j the world dying for the lack of the' - * Wi+Vi wnrld necessixies uj. mc. mw. as close together commercially as it is, and yet for this state of affairs to exist there is something radically wrong somewhere. And yet to a certain extent the same thing exists right here in our own land. There are those who are j really suffering for the necessities: while others are spending lavishly on I the things that are not necessary. A readjustment somewhere is necessary. This country boasts that it; can feed the world, and we suspect! that the boast is true, and yet the! fact remains that there are hundreds ! * * 1 * 1- ! Of tiiousanas 01 peupie peusumg iwi | the things that are ne sssary to sustain life, and we can not find a mar ket for what we have. It does seem ' to us that the statesmanship of this country should be able to adjust the I economic conditions so that no such thing could be possible. With the transportation facilities what theyj are in this day all the world is closer, together than it ever was, and in fact, Europe is not now as far from us as was the northern section of this coun-1 try from the southern section a few . , i years ago. There is pressing need for some one to come foward and solve the problem and save these starving millions of God's chosen people. Read the story as published in another' column of this paper. - - 1 ?> <5> ?> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <S>; Q <?>: I atten..ded the closing exercises of the Midway school on Friday' night. The program was largely mu-1 sical and was well rendered. In addition to the regular v ~k of the I three teachers, Mr. L. L. Shealy and ; Miss Ruth Chapman and Miss Sara j Long, Mrs. J. F. Browne has conduct-.; ed a very successfull music class in j the school this year. These people! * * f iV _ ' were always notea lor meir nne s.nging and the young folk are following in the footsteps of their forbears. | The program was well rendered and was not too long. At the cocnlusion of the musical program a play taken from Shakespeare was enacted l?y the members of the tenth grade. It, was only one scene and was well rendered. The school has had aa successful session of eight months. I made a short talk at the conclusion of the program and I mention this mainly to say for the benefit of some of the younger people who were there, that in my reference to the Monts I got the names a little mixed. Mr. Mike Monts whom I i mentioned was a mighty good man, j but the one I intended to name as the singer was Mr. Levi Monts of sainted memory. * I don't think Mr. J Mike Monts ever undertook to "raise" a tune, or if he did I do not recall it. j Even at this day I can see Mr. Levi Monts in the old church at St. Pauls, tall and rater slender and robust, walking up and down the aisle singing with all the fervor of one who meant what he was singing. And another thing I recall about his singing j is that he did not try to sing with his! lips closed or his mouth shut, but he I opened wide his mouth and you could understand his every word. On Saturday I attended the closing of the school at Pressley in the Broad river section of the county. I want-: ed to talk to those people about their school and make some suggestions as to improvements that seem to me are demanded, if we are to consider what " i is best for all the bright children of; that good community. I tried to put j the matter before them in such man-' ner as to get them to tinking about the best plan to pursue to improve conditions, and I hope it may result in some improvements for the good of the children. It seems to me that i Broad river and Prcssley might get! together and do something toward the ; improvement of the school facilities down that side, and if the people should conclude that they would like to do something I will take great pleasure in conferring with them further on the subject and give them all the assistance in my power. The exercises by the children were crditable alike to teacher a d children. The school at this place was taught the past session by Miss Eva Shealy and the patrons like her very Rut it. would be so much bet ter for the children if we could have two teachers in one school rather than one teacher each in two schools. Rev. Carpenter from Chapin made an address which was greatly enjoyed by the people and instructive and helpful as well. I was pleased to mee Mr. Carpenter and trust I may meet him at some more of these school meetings. The pastors of the rural churches can be of great help in 'building up the educational interests in the rural communities if they only will. Rev^ Mr. Kisler, pastor of the Bethlehem and St. Matthews churches was also present lending of his influence to the betterment of the school. The examination for teachers will be held at the court house on Friday and Saturday of this'week. Only examinations for elementary and primary certificates will be held at this time. And in this connecction I desire to print again the rules of the state board of education in the matter of renewing outstanding state certificates that expire in 1922. You will notice that a third grade certificate can not be renewed, and that in *"<"> rrn+ o fircf r>r <5Pr?nnd PTflde UV i V\J gvb M X/ - V..~ 0 certificate renewed it is not only necessary that the applicant shall have taught succe'ssfully at least one half the life of the certificate but that there must be some summer school credit. And^that this rule applies to first grade certificates as well as second grade certificates. This is a very important matter for all teachers to take note of. This is a very < arnporutiii. mauci iuiwici v-/ 1 cause many of the state certificates expire this year, ard possibly some of the teachers did not attend summer school last year nor the year before, and now they have opportunity to get summer,school credit in order to renew their certificates by attending summer school this year. The county board has made it a rule for several year to pay the tuition of all teachers who attend summer school to the extent of $10, provided they teach the coming session in Newberry county. They may attend the Newberry summer school or any other, but Newberry will give you the same , credit. sdwork syddm hLd h hrldu cmfwyps Requirements for the Renewal of ^ Certificates Which Expire July 1, 1922 A third garde certificate shall not 1 be renewed. A first grade or a second grade certificate shall be renewed when the holder complies with the following requirements: 1. Presentation of satisfactory written evidence from school officials showing that the holder has taught successfully during one half the life of the certificate. 2. Presentation of a record of successful and satisfactory summei school work for 1920, 1921, or 1922. Every approvde summer school must run at least six weeks. Teachers receiving certificate credit on summer school work must attend at least twenty days, must pursue at least two approved courses, and must stand satisfactory examinations at th-? close of the summer school. Note: The state board of education, at a recent meeting waived the reading circle requirement for the renewal of certificate which expire in 1922. For this year only, the state board of education also waived the summer school requirement for the holders of first grade certificates granted on A. B. or B. S.. degres from accredited colleges. State Board of Examiners for Teachers. ! t On Wednesday morning I drove out to Bush River sihool where we have just completed a building for the negroes. The building in this district was burned :ast fali. The contract for the ne v build:ng was M to Mr R. E. Li/ u'.-tun am! he ha? aboi.t c rmleted :;ne w?irk and he hadone a good job. I hope to have the state representative up there next Tuesday to receive the building. I am referring to this here now in order to say something again about the roads around this fine comfn'unity. I would like to suggest that Dr. Senn, the highway commissioned" for this district, take a trip over this side, say, next Sunday, and attend church j at the Bush River church and hear a al good sermon by Dr. Burriss and see f? for himself just the condition of all the roads from every direction leading up to this church. There should ^ not be any such roads anywhere in 01 this day of advanced civilization. ^ And to get from the church up to the re school house and even on out beyond er is almost impossible, except by going over broken bridges and over te ditches right in the middle of the road that will test the strength of *r any vehicle. In fact, Pastor Burriss S1< told me the day I was out that only te f V) a few Sundays ago a car stuck in one r>f the holes on the wav to church, ' and you know such an experience1 does not put one in a good frame of mind to listen to even a good sermon. !*e Just a little dragging and scraping' right now would put the road in pass- j able condition until the return of the : fall and winter rains, and that would | be better than nothing, and would1 not take long'for any one who was! prepared to do the job. But certain-! ly something should be done by some one. I do not see how the rural mail j carriers make the rounds daily. ' i The patrons and trustees of the New Hope-Zion district asked me to attend a meeting at Zion school house the same afternoon at 2 o'clock. I made the trip. Here is another sec-' tion that needs somethings to be done [ to the roads. From Bethlehem Lu-j theran church on back to the Ashe-, ford's ferry road there is no road. I understand that the highway com-[ mission is going to open a road somewhere through here to connect] the two highways and I would be j ?la.d if they would make the survey ( is soon as they can so that we may 'ocate the new school house we are J ?oing to build in this district. This, is very important because in locating lew school houses we must have a /iew to the location of roads. And . there is a large number of white peo- j )le living in here, and they need some -chool improvements and some roads.! There should be at least two new -.chool buildinys put up in this sec* 1 ^ ~ ?? 4-1,^ nnnn infr r\f tVl a ion ueiuic uic u^ciiiug vi. v?*v next session and until the connect-! ng road is located we are groping in 1 Lhe dark in the matter of building, i We talked the situation over with the j oatrons and trustees who met at'the school house on Wednesday after-,' " noon, and decided to postpone action j >f any kind for the present, at least intil we had opportunity to confer with the highway commission as to ne 'he survey of the proposed road to te connect the two highways. The road icross from the Pomaria highway to Dressley school is on a par with the nrrmnd Bush river, and I would lot know how to say which needed ittention the more. They both need tn t. I do not see how the people tra- ^ /el or the rural carrier manages to ov nake his rounds when the roads are an :he least torn up from the rains, and *-e his is a fine section with a lot of fine ^1 white people who deserve to have ^ -.ome attention. Some bridges across b* the streams will be absolutely necissary. I came back by Pomaria and ur Little Mountain and the road from ^ pomaria to Little Mountain is in ^ worse conditiori than I have seen it Sr n a long time. A new bridge has ** 1 1 J AtT TTTQro Jit ieen built, iji iact two, anu leeded, but the road is not kept C1] iragged as was once the case. A lit- ^ L.le dragging of this road would help S1? very much. j 'M M, V/ednesday night I attended the exhibition at the St. Philips school. This is a four teacher rural graded school and has had a successful year. ce Mr. Clarence Lominick has been the )rincipal and with his assistants has S1! ione fine work here. The assistants T rtf+TTo TTalf~r>rf?_ Sallie ^ ire .uiisca 7 ----Lee Cromer and Lula Lominack. The ^ 1 lttendance has been the best in the ' listory of the school and the record is one that is hard to match anywhere The people have the school spirit and m :he children have it also and that cc nakes a school if you have good pi ;eachers as they have at this school, ar Out of an enrolment of around 13 0 tii ;here were 28 who never missed a day te and a number more who were absent at for only one day, and but for some oj sickness there would have been even ai i better record. There is one grade w .vhich shows almost a perfect at- to ;endance for the entire grade of 19, w and the school is run for eight y( months, It may be that the school gi will be able to qualify for a high er school. The trouble with all our cs buildings in the last few years we ca did not get the right vision and build ir with a view of growth and develop- al ment. And for that reason I am rec- hi nmmendfne- that in every building we fr put up now that we add at least one ri more class room than we need at cc present. Mr. L. H. Sease with six ta children in the school has the record n< of all the six being present every day us of the session and the oldest one, w Miss Elizabeth Sease who is now in the seventh grade, has a record of M perfect attendance for seven years, jla * id Julia Lake a perfect attendance lice ir three years. That is a good fam- Flo j record. And Mr. J. W. Lominick illn ith four children in the school this >ar with a perfect attendance rec <i for the year. The following is ^ e list of the children who have a mjr cord of perfect attendance for the fou itire session and those who have the >en absent only one day. The at- ^ ndance of all the schools has been vvh< le the past session. In some dis- 9^ icts there has been a good deal of ^ ckness but for that the record of at- j;0W ndance has been fine in nearly all enl; e schools. day Perfect Attendance vise Mr. L. H.
