from Europe of thousands of children :
dying from lack of food and freez-'
ing because of no clothing, and this
part of the world having over-production
so that there is no market for:
the things we produce at a price that!
we can live. 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'

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 !

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.

?> 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.

A third garde certificate shall not 1

holder complies with the following
requirements:
1. Presentation of satisfactory

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.

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

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

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.
