The Hers Id and News has moved $o the room under the National hotel next door to Henry Rikard and ad joining the court house lawn, ah our work is being done there now except the printing and just as soon as we can get the big press moved that will be done there. The job presses have not been moved and in fact we have not been doing much, job work but we'will start them to rolling very soon. All we need just now is that visit we asked you to make and to leave not less than a dollar on each subscription. We need to have a visit of this kind from at least 500 within the next few days and could receive twice that number. We have indulged you until the fall season opened and now we are expeoting you to come around to our rescue. We may be late for a few days now until we get everything straight but after we get moved we hope to have a little more system and that will cause less dela;/ and then we would be glad if the advertisers would give us the copy of the ads before the day we are going to press as our force is not large. Cooperation is what we all need and to remember that we can not #live to ourselves alone and that there is room enough here for all of us and that we will get along much better if we wjrk together and work neighborly. / The cotton crop is going to be v?ry shortj4n this county, much shorter thanvwe believed some few weeks ago. In driving over the county you will see |hat the cotton is all picked and there are very few places wh?re there will be any more to gathar. And remember this is the first of Oc tober and no frost yet., inere is a fine crop of corn })ut the cotton is not tfyere. &<&$<&<$<?><*>$> <s> <&<*>$><$><$><$><$ <* <S> AMONG THE SCHOOLS ? O I a ^ <i> .$>: > <S> ^> <$><?> <4> <?> ;?N <? I am about a week behmd, not in being cut among the schools, but in the little writeups that I have b?en giving to the visits. This is due partly to the fact that The Herald and News office has been in a state of'unrest and disturbed for the past several days making a move, or change of location, but mainly due to "the fact that I have been so busy making the trips that I have 11 ->t found time to do very mucjj. writing, but-it is my purpose to make some little note of all the schools as I jo around among them. just, a word of encouragenient to the children and teacher, and the people of the community as we&. This column is ir.ainta:ned for the purpose of help" ing the educational work of this county, and the schools of the county, and it may fail in that purp:;:^. or miy not do a great deal of gsod, but that is the purpose and that is the reason I spend the time it takes to write it, and give the space to it in The Herald and News. I hope the wonle who are interested in the ed x I acation of the children of this county read it and are helped'and encouraged by the reading. ' I The fall examination of the tethers. or those who a:s're to secure state certificates, or to have ths:r grade increased, will be held on Friday and Saturday, November 3 and 4. All teachers who wish to increase or better the grade of their certificates. that is to say, those holding third and second grade certificates, should desire to hold a first grade, and they are notified of the time nnd nlnop of the examination. Don't f^r get the day nor the hour, but b? on hand, and ail who hold permits should take this examination. I will do all I can to help you. i have been forced to ask for a few permits for teachers in this county, I mean by that that the trustees ha<re selected some of the teachers who did not hold certificates, and the only way for them to teach and be paid was to ask for a permit. Only very limited number. Some weeks ago I received a list of those who made certificates in the May examination, and the names were published, but I am told that the state board has not yet sent out the certificates. It does seem that the certificates should be mailed out before the next examination. I hope all the teachers in this county will remember they must have their certificates renewed, if they have expired, and that such renewal must be recorded in the office of the county Superintendent of education, or oth erwise he will have no knowledge that the renewal has been had, and that in order to get paid the record must be in his office. Last Monday, October 2, I attended the opening of the Beth Eden r-hool. taught this year by Mrs. Eihel Chandler, and the children are very fortunate in securing the services of surh an enthusiastic and experienced a teacher, and there is going to be good work her? this session. The school starts off well. Quite a number of the patrons were present at the opening and the enrolment the first day was very good. Mrs. Chandler made a splendid talk to the chil Ul'fll UilU jUlluiis *.m mc vfcuiii^ and asked their cooperation, and gave the children to understand that there was to be good order and hard work during the school year with plenty cf time for play. I would like to commend to every teacher in the county two mottoes that she had written on the bourd, without going into the details of her rules. The tirs; one is, "Order is heaven's first law," and then she had this which is very important, "Cleanliness is next to godliness." Two very important things to bear in mind in the conduct ** - ?1 -l V ~>-? rv4? rJ rv m nnll OX <i Sl'IlUUl. 1UU lail nut- UU ail IV?? /. training: unless you have order and discipline and certainly it is very important to teach cleanliness. The arood people of this district should do as Long: Lane has done, vote an e:n:ht mills tax and build a modern school house and then get two teachers, and then they could have a school, because it is hard for the best of teachers to do full justice to the children when she is trying to teach ten grades. Tuesday I had a very heavy day. Mr. Jake Wise of the health department djjove me on Tuesday, and in fact drove me out to Beth Eden. Our ^ - *-? Ti J of T nlrr. 1 ax*st Stop 1 UC?Ud \ ?ao at, uw and we were there promptly at 9 o'clock. St. Lukes is some six miles beytmd Prosperity. There is i highway all the way, but the highways are now in worse condition than many of the cross roads, because, they are cut up with much hauling ahd the dry weather has made it impossible to do any repair work worth while. The road from Youngs Grove where you leave the highway to the steel bridge to St. Lukes was built 1 i-U ? ~1 nn<4 i C" SJ5 Uy l ilU ) ailU 1K> u V VV% W ?-r~ good as the highway, though in some places it needs some more top soil, and they tell me that it cost just about one third what the contract price for the building of the highway was. I have held to the position for many years that the best work upon which we could put convicts was the building of roads, and that the state should do that with the convicts in the penitentiary rather than be considering building a factory there again, it makes little difference what sort of fr-ctory they are going to build, and berides the out door work would be more humane and less injurious to a prisoner when he is. confined all the while. And the county convicts should be kept on the permanent work in the building of just such ror.ds as they have built out to St. T .il-ne orr) Kovrtnil T f?O Tint IknDW UUIV^O CUiU uvj ? ?? j how many miles, but I-understand there are some six or seven. All the roads are bad now, but when the rains come if the upkeep folk will get busy' and mix the top soil and the road bed and drag or scrape therii, we will have good roads all the winter. The road from Newberry to Prosperity is particularly bad.. The school at St. Lukes is taught this year by Mr. Graves and the Misses Knight and Miss Mills. They have 115 children enrolled already and there will be more to come. I have tried for several years to show the good people out in this fine white community why they should build a hign scnoo: our nere, our somenow 1 have never been able to convince them, or to make them see it, but I am going to keep right on hammering at it, and I am sure that it will not be many years before there will be right out here in the rural community a real state hi^h school with forty to fifty cnildcen in the high school department. What is needed is to pnt St. Lukes and Big Creek ir one district and may be cur of some of the edges and put them in districts * ' ? 1- _a. r .a. u ~ max, are more convericm iur ujc small children. Then Mon-icello and Saluda should go together and .'.-rive a fine four teacher ruriil graded school. If I just had the power to make the people see it, great improvements could be made for the education of the children and at a less co.?r to the state. Several of the patrons were present at St. Lukes and I told them of the opportunity they had. and tint they owed it to the children of this generation to do something. I am going to make a personal canvass of the district to see if I can make the people see. The building of the house will be the great drawback, and there should be a fund some' ^ i where that could bo loaned to a com- [ munity like this, and let the pay-] ments be made on easy terms and j long time, because there are lots of! children hero and no corporations, and oniv the land to be taxed, andi it is already taxed sufficiently. I am. sure there would he no trouble in j voting the extra two mills for the hiqrh school, but the cost of the building would be rather heavy, and if we just had some way l>v which we could spread th'tt over a number of years without issuing bonds I feel pretty sure that the people would be willing. Just think of 150 children, out here in this fine community and no high school near and only a seven months term. i ; I went on to Big Creek. C. M. Harmon is teaching this school this session. He has something over thirty children enrolled. He had just opened the day before and was not yet well organized. I went from here over to the highway from the (teel bridge to Prosperity coming into this highway at the residence of Mr. Adam Monts. The road is good, in fact better than the highway, though . too narrow. I had never been over this road so far as I can now recall. It was in by the Stockmans and Kunkles. There are some fine lands in here and the people seem to be prospering. I had no announced schedule on this trip except that i wa? to be at St. Lukes and Monticello, but I concluded that I would take this cross road instead of coming: back nearly to Prosperity. I did not stop at Saluda, though we passed the school house. Mr. R. C. Hunter is the principal here and he is doing a fine work for these children, but could do a great deal more if we could get some of these schools to go together. The highway over this side was no better, but full of holes and very dusty. But after the rains the road workers will be able to do something for the roads. It takes some water as well as other things to make i a road. I made a brief stoo at O'Nealls and found Mr. A. F. Pugh and Mrs. A. F. Pugh and Mrs. J. L. Boozer already down to hard work The same teachers are back in the school room at this school and they are good teachers and doing fine work. There is need of? a new building at this place, but unless it is absolutely necessary I am not anxious to build until we can get a survey of the county ar.d be able intelligently tor lay the foundation for a system of schools worth while. They will enroll here more than 75 children but on tile first day they had only about 65. I then drove up to Monticello where Miss Eunice Livingston and Miss Helen Nichols are the teachers. They already have more than 50 and the enrolment will reach 60 or more in this school. These young ladies taught here last session and are sue-; cessful teachers and doing splendid work. It was dinner hour when I reached this school. The young ladies knew I was coming and that I would not reach their school until about the dinner hour, and they very kindly and thoughfuily had brought a nice lunch for me which i enjoyed. I am going back again when I will have more time, but this trip was made just to give a word of encouragement to the children and teach-, ers and to let them know I was in-1 terested and ready and willing to j serve them in any wav th~t I could, i I ? -| ! I thought I would get back in time to take "a look at the Johnstone school, and I did get along by the school before two o'clock, but the school was out and no one about. I rrnt think anv rural school should turn cut before two o'clock, and in fact can not start early enough in the morning to get through so as to get out by two o'clock. I am going to j ask that the daily session in all the' rural schools be not less than six hours including recesses. It seems to me that is short enough, and in fact I know the teachers can not do themselves nor the children justice if the session is any shorter. And it seems to me that 8:45 is early er.ougn to open school and then 3 o'clock .would be early enough to close. I am trying to get a uniform system of opening: and closing so that I can regulate my schedules and know: when I will fir.d the schools in ses-j s-on. We must all work together to, get the most work and the most edu-j cation for the money that the people are putting i5p. and we can not by; shortening the daily session. E. H. A.
