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.

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.
This is especially cred table to
Miss Massey since she has notj
only done her regular class work
but has also taken a part ot her
work a year in advance of her
class. ? Lancaster News.
Miss Massey is a daughter of
Sam F. Massey, formerly of Fort
Mill, and a niece of Postmaster
B. H. Massey. of this city.
