No. 112. Entered at the postofllce at Fort Mill, S. C.. as Mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. MAY 15. 1913. Why an Eleventh Grade? Inasmuch as The Times is informed that the trustees of the Fort Mill school have under advisement the putting: on of an eleventh grade in the local school, the following, from the Gaffney Ledger, is published for the consideration of the members of the local board: "It is not our business to run the graded school and we don't firopose to interfere with the busness of the trustees chosen for that specific purpose, but it occurrs to us that it is not advantageous to add an eleventh grade to the institution. We already have ten grades and it appears that it is difficult to get a sufficient number of scholars to continue through the tenth grade. If that be true will it not be more difficult to get scholars suf-1 ncient for an eleventh grade? i Any boy or girl who successfully 1 completes the tenth grade can 1 enter college, and even if they i went through an eleventh grade 1 they would be compelled, in most | < instances, to go over the same 1 work again if they matriculated < in a college. Would it not be better to spend this money in the various lower grades than to add a grade? We are simply 1 asking for information. Chil- j ] dren who pass through the | tenth grade, if they have been * taught anything at all, are pret- c ty well equipped for the battle j of life. If th* ir parents he poor ! it is time for them to go to work, 1 if they be well to do or wealthy it is time they were being sent to college at the expense of the r parents and not being educated i at the expense of the govern- \ ment." < Members of the local military organization, along with the members of the other companies forming the First regiment of the State National Guard, have every reason to feel good over the report submitted to Governor B lease by Adjutant Genera) i Moore. After making an in specting tour of the State the adjutant general recommended j to the governor that ten companies of the guard be disbanded on account of inefficiency and in the list named was not a single company from the First regiment. The Times has all along believed that the pick of the State militia was to be found in : the Piedmont section and the i report of General Moore serves ; to strengthen this belief. "The 'whiskey trust' has a paid attorney in every county seat in the Southern dry counties, getting $25 to $50 a day to draw 1 up and have circulated petitions for dispensary elections and look after whiskey ring interests." This statement is said to have been made by the Rev. J. J?. t Harley in a speech in Sumter recenty. If this be true, the York county attorney has the pension "cinch" beat a block. Thprp nrp nlontu nf follnti/a who could teach a better school. than those who teach, preach a better sermon than those who preach, who could run a better business and publish a better paper. Yes, the woods are full of them, but they neither teach, | preach, run a better business or publish a better paper. They are like the lillies of the held, they toil not, neither do they pin. Six of ten people who hunt you up want to tell you their troubles, and the remaining four have bttla. Go as you please, do as you ilease, go whenever and wherever you please and, like many ither wayward souls have done, ou will fail to please the multiude. Even in the trivial matter >f getting a wife, how many here are who would like to :hoose for you or grumble at 'our choice. The man who is planning on aising a good garden and keepng a few chickens, a cow and >erhaps a pig or two, won't n*$d o worry over the high cost <rf iving. It's the ones who have lot thft onnortnnitv fn Hn thia or ire too indolent who are held up tor big expense. The prosperity of a town does u>t depend so much upon the vealth of its citizens as the manler in which they pull together, .jet's pull together this spring ind summer and by fall we can joast one of the best towns in he State. "Kiss Me as I Fall Asleep," s the title of a new song. It night work all right with some nen, but it would wake us up mmediately. It used to be that in the spring i young man's fancy lightly urned to thoughts of love, but lowadays it is firmly glued to )aseball. A teakettle can sing when it is nerely full of water. But man, iroud man, is no teakettle. The announcement comes to The Standard that Rev. James it. McK4ttrick is to be married n June to Miss Carrie Emipa Parks, of Fort Mill.
