CAROLINA SCHOOL. |
Carolina school is a two-teacher
.school in a special tax district. It has
-been such for several years. The pres- [
ent school building was erectecr in
1916 and is very attractive outward- i
ly and well arranged Inwardly. The <
two class rooms are connected by(
folding doors, and when these aro 1
-opened and the rooms are thrown to- i
gether they provide a commodious i
Auditorium. In adidtion to theso
rooms, there are two conveniently lo- i
cafed cloak rooms, a room for musi- i
cal instruction, a room for teaching ]
domestic science'or mannel training, <
a Horary, ana a nice entrance porcn. '
Carolina school has an eight 1
months' term annually. This year, <
however, the scarcity of teachers de- i
layed the opening and the school will i
close with only a seven months'^erm.
The school work has also been interrupted
because of the influenza epidemic
and other contagious diseases,
thereby reducing the regular attend- (
ance. The actual enrollment for this i
year has been fifty, with a regular i
average of about thirty. * f
Like al rural school in wel populated
districts or communities, the t
teachers of Carolina School have not' 3
been able to do full justice to their i
^ work with classes in eight grades, t
However, they have had excellent co-; c
operation on the part Of ambitious 1
pupils who have endeavored to ac-|i
complish certain required work in a \
peven months' term
The school committee consists of t
Messrs. Dunlb MacLaurin, Jr., D. L., 1
and L. W. Mclnnis. These officials
have cooperated most cordially with 1
the teachers and the school during c
this term. c
The Carolina Improvement Association
was ' re-organized this year t
with Miss Maggie Mclnnis as Presi- 1
dent Mrs. K; L. MacDonald as Vice- v
President, and Mrs. D. B. Mclnnis, v
^Secretary. This assocition has, for
three years, won a five dollar (15.00) a
prise igr naving neia iweive consecutive
meeting during the year. The' g
special aim of the association this j s
term was the improvement of the r
edaool grounds. The required meet- d
ings have been held, but owing to the r
long drawn out epidemic of influenza
end other, illness, we have necessar- t
ily had to postpone the concerted effort
in executing our plans. However,
the association fully expects to ac- i
oompUsh this before the close of the i
present term and a day will be designate^
for completing the plans. I
Carolina School is situated in a
progressive community and is one ^
of Dillon County's very best rural
schools. We wish for it in future g
the success due to every institution
that has for its object the nurturing (
aud developing of the young mentally,
morally, and physically. g

, .. Agriculture.
Agriculture under the Smith-Hugh- j
es Law is making great strides. Al- ?i
th<^ it is only two years old, there
ar? millions of dollars spent this c
year to educate the to-be farmer*-, tOi"
give them scientific methydfOl farm-1?
lug, so that they won't follow in thei*
:**T?e old rut, but profit bjf-the ex-!j
.perience of others.
"By 1916 the Government will e
^furnishings there million dollars year
ly to part pay the salaries of such c
agricultural teachers. The amount
tthat each state receives is based on j
the ratio of rural population to the
rural population of the United States. ^
This year South Carolina is receiving
about thirty thousand dollars from
the Government. In order for the
.State to get that amount, she has to
wvcr ii wuu au equai amuuui; uui
tube local community has to pay one
Autlf of the amount paid by the Siate, j
thereby causing the teacher to receive
one-half of his salary from the <
.Federal .Government, one-fourth "
from the State Government, and onellourth
from the local community.
-The object of the Government in
. passing this law was to help make
the boy that not was not able to go <
4* college a better farmer; therefore
it made the following conditions: that
the school had to have at least ten
boys over 14 years of age taking this
course; that there should be a period <
of not shorter than one and one-half ^
hours daily, for six months, aijd that I
each boy should spend an equal
.amount of time on his project, this ]
project being along the same line as i
his class-room work; that there <
should be a four-year course?1st ]
yeart Field Crops; 2nd year, Animal 1
Husbandry; 3rd year, Horticulture, <
and the 4th year, Farm Bookkeep- 1

Last year the Latta High School

(In Union School District)
There are few communities which '
?an boast of the community spirit
tvhich characterizes our school distrist.
It is an unusually democratic place.
Every one is so very hospitable that
it takes only a few days for a stranger
to feel at home among the people.
Everybody makes it his business to
help those with whom he comes in .
eontact. In such a democratic neigh- F
borhood, who could help but enjoy (
living and working? Environment s
means a great deal in determining t
the degree of success which a person F
has and with such congeniality as is [
ound in the atmosphera which preails
at Gaddy's Mill. I am sure the
endency is toward success
The community is situated in one
if the most prosperous parts of Dilon
county. The land is very proactive.
Thus, we account for the
nany prosperous plantations which
urround us. We are not surprised
hat the planters are very much inerested
in their work and all other
nterprises which lead to the advanement
of the interests of the peole.
They are very broad minded
nd ere always ready to respond to
ny c .1 which is for the betterment
f school, church and community.
We have a three teacher school,
'his year the enrollment is one hunred
and fifty two. The teachers
ave the co-operation of the parents,
bus they feel that the work they are
triving to accomplish is appreciated
y the parents.
The fact that they co-operate with
ae school is plainly seen in our
arent-Teachers Association. The
tajority of them attend regularly untss
providentially hindered and they
eartily endorse any suggestion which
re made concerning the school,
early four hundred dollars has been
Used in the past year by this organation
for school improvement. Anther
proof of their interest in the
jhool is the fact that they so willing'
voted the extra three mill tax in
rder to have a better school.
In behalf of the trustees I wish
> say that they have the interest of
te school at heart. They are always
?dy to do any thing in their power
> help the pupils, teachers and, in
ict, the whole community. They reize
that teachers salary have not
ept pace with the prices of other
tings and now they are doing all in
teir power to rectify this by giving
le teachers a liberal increase in sal y.
With such a unit-it nf mjinoro.

ill say that few communities equal

Bingluun School.
Only yesterday this school buildig
was a shack, an old held school
ouse having only one room, wooden
lutters ana a clay chimney. The
rimitive furniture consisted of long
raight backless benches, which were
>ade at home, and no black boards
1 all. And as for maps, charts and
honic cards, why these were uneard
of things. Now the strides
lat are being taken towards better
iucation startles us.
Biughum school houso now is a
tiviy lepresentative one, very well
quipped for the work, though it
light be impressed here that there
i considerable room for many needii
improvements such as a music
>om, an gujUt?rium, and a well
jlW^pCd'pkiy ground. However, it
lay be stated here that at one time
ingham school was the best county
schooi in Dillon county.
Think of considering a six week's
?hool term; this was the length of
ingham's school term for years;
evcrthtless it has been increased to
[glit months. The efficient, patient
nd interested teachers of the early
ioneer work went into the high
ays and hedges and compelled the
eopie 10 realize mat 11 would De 10
aeir advantage to think less about
iucating horses and more about
taking rough minds bright.
The Ladies' Improvement Club has
one a great deal towards the bettertent
of the school furnishings. They
ave bought shades- a much needed
iano, a basket ball outfit and many
ther things. The money for these
lings was made by different kinds
f entertainments.
However, the final and most acurate
test of efficiency Is the work
f the pupils, what they have done
nd are doing. Excluding side isues
such as manual training, science
nd agriculture, the pupils of Bingam
school covered the same ground
i the short terms that the average
upils did in double the time. The
land that they take on leaving us
roves that the work is thorough.
Our motto is: "Every man has
chance.''
