Wright, president of the ; . Civic League, which organization ha charge of the next issue of The Herald and News, requests to state that if the ladies have made any mistake as to the space the advertise:' has ordered, and they have gi\en k*v space than was paid for or ordered. * that the proper adjustment would be ina&? as soon as the paper is printed. ! And if they have given more spacethat will be our loss, as we will not ask any one to pay for more space than ordered. And this leads us to say that The feerald and News has declined to take the money that has bepn collected by the ladies or any part of it, and tha. we will not t?.ke any until the paper is 1 nrinted. We concluded th'at would be the better plan, and the ladies arc- : to make the contracts and do the collectir.^. Of course if they should ( through error order more space tnar the advertiser authorized we will no. ; hold them responsible for the error, i? They are to pay us our part of all ad vertisements they order except in the ^ case cf error as stated above.

AMONG THE SCHOOLS <^!( 8> i That was a ~ne meei'.ag of the ! ] :eachers association held on Satur-i< :-ay in the auditorium of the high;; school building. There was a very ] rood ittendanee of teachers and \ luite a number of the trustees were j \ jrcser.t. though I would have been! j :1ad to have seen more of them. I, ] .egret that some of the schools de- ' foo^Vi rm Safiivfinv cr> as to i have two days at Thanksgiving. Somehow after I made a special ap- ] >eal to all teachers to attend this j meeting and it was announced at the i last meeting that it was desired to | nave all the teachers present, and itji .vas also announced at that time that j; Mr. D. L. Lewis, state high school in-': Rector, would be with mo during thelj tveek md would remain over for the ' < teachers meeting, I felt that it was n.ot exactly- the right thing to teach-'i ;>n the day of the meeting, even if it!; i pros to make up for the Friday after'] Thanksgiving, because if you are go-1, ing to make up for that it could jucti; *s easily have beenfmade up the Sv.i- ! srdav of the following week. I do': r?ot think 2s a rule these make up j iays on Saturday amount to a great j ileal. It is ail right to give the teach-! ?rs the Friday following Thfe-nksgiv-1, ir.g. but it should not have been made , a? on the day-fixed for the teachers^ meting. That is the way it looks to': trie. Especially in view of the urgent ! request for ail teichors to attend], this meeting, rrr.d in view of the fur- : ther fact that it had been nr.ouneed j nr.i we wcuia nave w.i.: us a vtsiui j from the state department of educa-1; tion. If I am not mistaken some of j1 the teachers who made up the dayi( were in the, office shortly after one!; o'clock with their salary warrant'., j; and they could not have done much!; teaching and get their warrants < a p-I proved and in tjwn by that t*me. I iwant to cooperate with the telphers' and do all I can. and as I understand! cooperation it takes a couple at !c;st to cooperate. I was pleased to seo!, the teachers from Prosperity and x-M-\ tie Mountain and so many of the* i" Xewbcrry teachers present, but I do' not recall ar.y from Fomaria and j Whifnire'and some of our other I.;; ?"- i cr 'schools. We can make those meetings v.-crth while, or we can make them a failure as we choose, by the j interest we take in them. Those who j were not present missed a splendid j talk from Mr. Lewis, and I wish very j much that all of them could have! heard him, and it would have done I you good to have heard the hopeful j .?nd optimistic talk by Senator John-! stone. Some of the teachers had car! troubles and did not get to town in j time for the meeting, and of course ! hattcould not be helped. 1 i i I ha**e n *v;rrbpr o? copies of the I manual \ ; . u r. been received j for elementary work and I would be! glad to place a copy in the hands of j everv elementary teacher in the cour- j ty, and those who did not get a copy i on Saturday may have one by calling j at the office. !t is prepared by Mr. \ Lewis who was with me last week. It; contains a groat deal of very valuable i information for the teacher who is interested in her work and if studied t can be of great beneiit. I notice that i Mr. I.evi* recommends a double daily! session and that school should not. close earlfe. than four o'clock. And that is coming and coming very fast.' In too many of our schools the daily) ression is entirely too short. Another ( thing that ??Ir. Lewis recommends,! .-and that is vevv important, is that! mere attention be given to writing and that writing should be taught with pen and ink and not entirely with pencil, as sec-.ms to be the case in most of the schools. I re:d a statement at the meeting showing that thirty-six of the fifty-j eight districts in the county show an overdraft at the close of the last sc hool year. bu* as ray books closed on the ."0th of June and there was a good dea;l of uncollected tax at that time, and much of it has been paid since then. I do not know just how many of them stand. This could not 'a be helped, and I do not question the i wisdom of the legislature in extend- I ing Lhe time for the payment of the t tax. and yet that does not keep me t from saying: that it has left many of \ the school districts so thai we can not a tell just where we are at. I . believe I with Senator Johnstone that most of s the tax will be collected and when it s is the cash will adjust itself. Prac-'s lie ally all the equalizing districts will j have a deficit even when ail the taxi is naid. because the legislature only.a ?ave about 77 per ce^t of the amount jl reauired to take care of the deficit :j i ivhich it agreed by its own act to j fc make good. Mr. Lewis" gave somelo practical suggestions oji teaching andiv Mr. Johnstone gave us an optimistic Jo new of conditions, and as I under-fa stood him he is in favor of making jt sufficient appropriation by the state jt to take care of the deficit, and if theiv states does not do it then the county j,'c tvill. He did not say so and of course;a ioula speak* only for himself, but theja conclusion I made from his remark?it is that he would be in favor of it and j il le could scarcely be otherwise and be) right.' It would not be raht for the J state to fail to meet its obligations, p md I have never believed the legis- J ature would fail to do so, and what i is needed is to get the situation in- i ^ diligently before the members, and: ;hen they will do the rest. The fol-ja lowing resolutions were introduced by (s rrustees B. B. Leitzsey and unani-iS I n mously adopted: Whereas, the failure of the state js legislature to provided sufficient state'2 aid to carry out the acts on the stat-'*3 lite books, relating to state aid forje schools, has resulted in shortening^ terms of schools, failure to pay the I^ alaries of teachers, and deficits in > i school districts complying with the) acts governing the distribution of state aid. Ee is resolved, that the teachers, jl trustees and patrons of the public j* schools of Newberry county hereby petition the Newberry legilative del- jc cation to support the appropriation:2 asked by the state department of ed-'e itcaiion for the public schools of the c state. Bo it further resolved, that the do!- * c-gaiion, in case the state fails to jc make provision, or take care of the.^ existing deficits, be urged to levy a.r county tax of one-half mill, to takejc care of deficits created as u result of the failure of the legislature in the;? past to make the appropriation re-, ' nuested, and to take care of weak T schools in J:he county. ' r As stated ;n my la.y r.etes I did not.* lto the rounds with Mr. Lewis on;"* Thursday but Mr. Jake Wise kindlv.5 * ? i consented to take him co some of the j schools. They made Mt. Bethel-Gar- j nur.y, Rutherford, Mt. Pleasant and'c Broad River and went to Maybinton * bui. when they arrived the school was jk cut. Mr. Lewi? was especially im-r pressed with the good work being ^ done at Mt. Bethel-Garmany. On c Friday we went first to St. Philips/" and spent quite a while there. Mr. ' Lewis liked the idea of Mr. Lominick!* bringing a book satchel just like one; of the pupils and he commended Mr.;( Lominick for thai ami also for the ^ good work which is being done out', here and also for the fine attendance, j * It is almost perfect. Well, that has!{ -f.-yf Qt PViJIina for sev- * I ' C i I L IX C ICtViU *. v? A. *. . A * --1 eral years. I do want to see a high;1 school hc-re with a nine months term," and we could have had it this year if { we had had another room. There k are now twenty-nine pupils in the * high school grades and nearly 100 in ' the other grades, 2nd then Fork.J should transfer her pupils up lo this . school. It would be so much better,; for all the children if this were done, and I do hope the trustees and pa--' trons will see it this way before an-' other term of the school is begun. Wc stopped also at Fork but I had what we thought was car trouble and w'lile Mr. Lewis visited the Fork school I ' went on to Pomaria with Mr. Pay-' singer to get a car doctor. Mr. Cecil ' Berley came up with me and when hcj get tnere all ne naa to ao was io pu^i his foot on the starter and the car, moved right off. He did find some1 loose bolts but they had been loose1 ?for some time and there was nothing i j wrong with the running of the car.; AVe I'jst at least an 'hour which put us \ off schedule, but we came on to Jolly Street and spent a short time with; this school and then on to Midway, but we got there just a., the school closed at two-thirty. We hac a plr-a*- j ant talk with the teachers, but did r.ot; get to see them in action. From Midway we drove over to 1 n'lifivi. ir? worn to V CiitlCii. HilViV- v. w be about two-thirty or even three o'clock. We were expecting to arrive there after the school had olosj e<i. It was after three o'clock when we arrived. The children and a numi ber of the patrons and friends of the 'school w?re in the new building which has ju>t been completed. This is one! jef rhe best one teacher school housesfin 'the state. It is built of brick and 'has an auditorium and cloak rooms rgi'" !? !Tu n mm m-m ? 11 i. irrarrin-i> imyiwni ind a room that can be used a* a li>rary and a teachers room and is >eautifully built. The people^should >e proud of their building. I want hem to be proud of their school as veil. I made a talk to the people ind so did Mr. Lewis. I wanted Mr. ?ewis to inspect the building fur the tate department so that when the tate aid is available we may get the tate a:a without any question. Now we had been going all day ind it was near five o'clock when we eft this building and I was feeling ust like a little dinner would not be iad, so we made a stop at the home if Adam L. Aull where th?re is always. something good to eat. and his ood wife soon had the table spread nd Mr. Lewis and I enjoyed one of Vin 'noct rHrmprs vnii over undertook o eat, and Mr. Lewis said it was just inat he was looking Tor.
