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.
