THE BANKS METHOD. i Morris Mitchell in The State. No doubt you have all heard rumors of some lively experiences indergone by the pupils of A. R. Banks. But if by these alone you have lo/med your opinion of , our principal, you are quite mistaken. In the home he is remarkably quiet, and at school it 1 is only his love and anxiety for as that causes him at times to , momentarily lose his patience. His good old Scotch-Irish father, i frnm thr.ui 1 Vict i. liid auucuiuji xivsiu uii w iiiwvi tutions and his experience as a Ku Klux leader and Red Shirt have admirably prepared him for i nis life work. | There are several things for which Mr. Banks has quite a reputation ?foremost of which, [ should say, is his wonderful success in teaching those who ome to niip alter not having lone well in other schools. 1 .ttribute his success here first j 0 the fact that he devotes his ttention to special needs of the I idividuai pupil. The average j. igh school is a great machine, iflexible and absolutely devoid y f all adaptability to the wants f the pupils*, the purpose of its s xistence; with rules and laws v lid down beforehand which are upposed to fit all occasions, and I /inch it is the duty of the princi- j, al merely to carry out. Secondly, hat he makes it a rule to treat o 1 very body as a gentleman until . le proves liimsell otherwise; and astly, that there is in the iiie oi ivery boy a period wueii he neous i mastei, a master ouin physical y and mentally, and ne sureiy . inds it in Mr. Banks. His greatest teaching is faith ind duty, and to do one's duty faithfully. His next is attention, j He savs. "Attention is hie soul j ;o success." He teaches us principles?not rules or derini:ions, but great moral truths. He mingles these with enough i'acis Lo train our minus, but of these tacts he says he hopes we may forget many. Mr. Banks does not make the common mistake of telling us that school work is only play. He knows, and we know, that it means hard work. But lie enieavors to instill into us a sense }f pride, so that instead of looking at school as a drudgery we may see the pleasure of doing jur duty. I think if you were to ask me for the words which best describe the whole being of the man, they would be his old and ol'trepeated phrase. "Where are you?" As if to say, "Stop! fhink! Are you on the main road 3r have you strayed? Are you sure of your position? If so, begin again; if not, begin over." i Regarding his success as a ' teacher, his work in this school I will speak for itself. Wnen Air. Banks came here three years ago. the people had refused to tax [ themselves for the school, and the appropriation of $400 from the county had been withdraw 11. 1 There were only two teachers, j SO pupils and 110 high school. I Througn Mr. Banks' efforts, we J now have $000 appropriation, a special tax of two nulls, eight teachers, o50 pupils and a complete high school of eighth, ninth and tenth grades. This prfs us not only on the accredited, o.'i" on the honor, list. The York delegation, in a warm letter about Mr. Banks, said he had probably prepared more pupils for college than any other professor in South Carolina, We pupils find in Air. Banks a man whom we physically fear, mentally admire, morally reverence and whom we perpetually love. FOK KENT?Nice 5-room Cottage on Baptist Church Street. Apply to Dr. J. L. Spratt. | For a New Creek Bridge. Supervisor T. W. Boyd and Commissioner L. J. Lumpkin, of York county, and Supervisor M. C. Gardner, of Lancaster county, met Friday at Sugar creek two miles east of Fort Mill, for the purpose of inspecting a site for a new bridge, agitation for which has been made lor several years. As a result of the meeting and conference a site was selected on the old Spencer place, near the home of J. S. Kimbn.ll. The York officials took the initiative in the matter of building the bridge and proposed to Supervisor Gardner to proceed with the work if Lancaster county would bear half the cost of the structure. In the absence of other Lancaster commissioners, Mr. Gardner could not accept 4 4. ^ L.?f n4nt Arl t Lnf I Lilt* prupuuuuil, UUL Btaicu iiuu lie would bring: the matter before the board at its next meeting and report its decision. The proposition to build a bridge in the vicinity of the Spencer place has been agitated ; for several years by the people of Fort Mill and the Barbersville neighborhood of Lancaster county. Aside from the present inconvenience to travel between these points. Barber's bridge over the creek becomes impassable with each rise of a few feet in the stream and the bottom lands on either side of the creek are flooded and the maintenance of a road through this low land is an impossibility. With the erection of a new bridge at the Spencer place Barber's bridge would be abandoned and travel to an from Fort Mill and Barbersville would be by way of the White mill bridge over Steele creek. It is stated that the distance between the above points would be some shorter by this route and with fewer hills. Miss Massey Won Highest Honor. Lancaster people who attended the exercises at Winthrop College Tuesday night, felt a thrill of pride in their hometown 1 when it was announced that of, the nearly eight hundred girls in the college, Miss Mary Coffey Mussey of this place, had made! the highest average on the year's work in the entire school, her; general average being 97 1-2.
