BREADTH OF MODERN SCHOOL
CURRICULUM.
(Written for The Times.)
It h a matter for gratification that
so many things have been added In
recent years to the courses laid down
for completion before one finishes the
grammar school or graduates from
the high school of the present day.
The elective system in colleges and
universities, Instituted only ^ few
years ago. has grown in extent and
favor till literally hundreds of courses
in language, science, literature;
history, mathematics, art, music, ate.,
lire announced in ineir catalogues,
many of these courses not required
for graduation but among the studies
that may be chosen by a student as a
part of his course for a degree. Of
course In elementary and secondary
schools not so much choice Is allowed,
nor is the range of studies nearly
so wide or so complete as In the high,
er Institutions of learning; but even
hco, among the higher grades, some
choice Is given in the selectidn of
studies. Many aubjocts are taught in
the high schools that a few years
ago were given only In the college
course.
The courses are not as extensive
as they are In the average college,
hut where there are sufficient laboratory
facilities a considerable knowledge
of such studios as physics, chemistry
and biology may* be acquired.
These are practical studies and their
pursuit gives mental discipline as
well. That manual training and
study of agriculture and domestic
science have been brought to our
doors and made accessible to pupils
who may never go beyond the high
school course gives us cause for
gratitude.
It Is the writer's conviction there
are two studies that ought to be
given a more prominent place in our
grammar and high schools, one of
these being music and the other art.
i >f course I have reference to the
rudiments of vocal music. There Is
some danger that music will become
a lost art with all the people who
are not called upon to rendor the
service of song in a church choir.
We ulrcudy see signs of failure at
this point, and many seem to feel
that they have no part or lot In this
matter. Nor does Instruction In
drawing go as far as It should, even
where it Is taught at all in our
schools. More attention should be
given to mechanical drawing. Including
perspective, etc. This knowledge
would be available for practical
purposes and would aid as a foundation
for more advanced work along
almost all artistic lines.
The breadth of our school curricula
brings us face to face with several
dangers, however. One of these
is that breadth of study will result
in a corresponding shallowness. If a
broadening of our course of study
brings about a decrease In Intensity
und depth It Is a question whether
we have gained or lost by Its Introduction.
In our modern schools
many more facts of many kinds are.
or may be, learned by the pupil; but
when we compare present day culture
with that of those men and women
who. In a former day, necessarily
confined their studies In the
common schools to LAtin, Greek,
mathematics and logic, we are usually
compelled to give first place to
the older culture. We of today
should appreciate our wider opportunity
for breadth of culture and be
sure to so use It that there will be
no lack In Its depth and Intensity.
Another danger is that the Immature
Muiuuin. il uuuwuu lu liiuudc iui ii?i??self,
electing one study and rejecting
another, will pick that which requires
less effort rather than that
which will be best for his mental discipline
and for preparation for his
life work. I do not think those educational
philosophers are mistaken
who hold that the study which the
child dislikes is the one he probably
stands In greatest need of. Dislike
for mthematical studies, for Instance,
shows a lack of development along
mathematical lines and a consequent
need of such a development.
Still another mistake which is
made by young pupils and submitted
to by many parents and teachers Is
that of leaving off language study,
especially the study of Latin, for
courses which they consider easier
and of greater practical importance.
Since a considerable per cent of our
English words are derived from
Greek and a much larger per cent
from the Latin language some knowledge
of both these languages Is desirable
as a scientific foundation for
English. Especially ought attention
to be given to l>atln not only because
of its relation to English and Its use
In so many technical courses, but because
it is so often required for col
lege entrance and a lack here will
therefore cause delay In entering or
require much extra work after entrance
to make up the deficiency
here. J. W. H. D.

By the exercise of a little care the
life of leather shoes may be considerably
prolonged. It Is a well known
fact that If a wet shoe Is placed too
close to a tire, the interior of the shoe
Is sometimes ruined before the surface

dried slowly.
An Knjoyablc Banquet.
The banquet given the stockholders
of the First National bank last Thursday
evening proved a pleasant occasion

MEWS or YORK COUNTY.
Item of General Interact Clipped
From the Yorkvllle Enquirer
The total amount of cotton of the
1920 crop finned In York county up
to October 18 was 9,790 bales, compared
with 22.440 bales up to the
same date last year.
No effort has been made to get exact
returns from Tuesday's election
In York county because of the ex- 1
ceedlngly small Interest In the matter;
but from such returns as have i
been received the total vote of the
COUntV DllV be snfelv ootlmaln/I nt
about 1,100, out of a total registration
of approximately 4,500. The total
vote in the federal box at Yorkvllle
was 259 and these Included the i
votes of 59 women.
"Any plan to reduce cotton acreage
by iftetute would be foolish and would
be Impracticable to enforce, in my
opinion," said 8enntor J. E. Beamguard
of Clover, In conversation with
an Enquirer representative Saturday.
"Mr. J. S. Wannamaker's request that
the General Assembly pass a law reducing
acreage," said Senator Beamguard.
"Is wholly Impracticable. The
proposal has been before the General
Assembly before and has been turned
down, as It would no doubt be again
It brought up. Acreage reduction by
Inw Is nn Impracticable remedy for
I the present situation. In my opinion."
When T. W. Moore of the Outhrlesville
section went Into his Rweet potato
patch one day last week to dig
potatoes he found three qunrts of
moonshine corn liquor hidden there,
according? to a report reaching Yorkville
Monday. The liquor wns not labeled.
however, and while Mr. Moore
may hnve his suspicions as to the
I ownership of the contraband, he has
| no positive proof. Up to yesterday,
according to Teports, nobody had put
'n a claim for Iho liquor.
The condition of the York ville-Rock
lllll road has been wonderfully Improved
as the result of the overhauling
it has had at the hands of the
State highway commission. A man
whose Judgment Is entitled to respect
old the Yorkville Enquirer Monday
that If desirable he would not he
afraid to drive a Ford from Yorkville
to Itock lllll In 30 minutes. Before
the overhauling he would not have
been willing to guarnntee the making
of the trip Inside of nn hour. With- \
out more attention In the way of surfacing
nnd dragging, the road can
hardly be expected to stand up under
he weather and heavy traffic to
which It will be subjected this winter.

Jaybirds Destructive.
A costly mistake was made by Inj
eluding the Jaybird In the list
| of song birds protected under the
tile KUIlie laws of Month CurAlln.
cording to Ira U. Sniylhc, well known
Fort Mill cltixen. "These birds," said
Mr. Hmythe yesterday, "are more destructive
than crows and I think the
people should be allowed to kill them
to protect their corn patches. As
a song bird, the 'Jay* is a bum artist.
1 am confident the Jaybirds In my I
neighborhood huve eaten and otherwise
destioyed five or six bushels of
corn for me in the last three or four
weeks. Before they were given the
protection of the game laws all I i
had to do was to take my shotgun
and kill a few of them. The report i
from the gun so frightened the others <
that they gave my corn patch a wide *
berth. Jaybirds not only devour a
lot of corn but they add to their work '
of dcstructlveness by picking a few i
grains from other ears and leaving
the ears in such condition that the i
first rain causes the ears to rot. The i
Legislature could do the farmers and 1
truckers of the state a real service
by seeing that Jaybirds are not protected
under the game laws as song | i
birds, which they most emphatically , i
are not." <
FARMERS HOLDING COTTON. '
Better Price* Expected to Follow
General Election.
Official Information from South Car.
ollna Indicates that the farmers In
that State are standing firm on the
cotton holding movement and that
even In the oaae of "distress" cotton
only a small amount Is being marketed,
says the Charlotte Oherver.
The holding movement In North CarnllMo
*- -
</ .< > .a ui tuuBiucrauie more consequence
than known in previous yenrs.
There is some leakage, to be sure,
yet the idle condition of the platforms
prevailing since the season opened
tells the story. One thing to guard
against Is the marketing of cotton
during the spurt whioh Is almost sure
to follow the election. If cotton does
not take a rise within a Week or ten
days after November 2, then traditions
will have been broken. A rise
of a few points may tempt some
holders to come out with the cotton
and a sufficient supply might bo placed
on sale to to serve immediate purposes.
and that would be sure to result
in reaction. The holding movement
has been established on a basis
which promises to bring results if
only maintained for a few weeks longer.
If the farmers stand their ground
they are quite likely to get better
prices than have prevailed In recent
weeks, although It is not a good prospect
that 4 0 cents will be reached.
Cotton must encounter the shaving
down process which is being applied
to all products, and the fanner who
holds his cotton for big money Is
going to hold it a long time. Cotton
is sure to bring a better price than
at present etlsts, hut It is not going
to reach the fancy figure.

Government Entomologist Visits Foil
Mill Cotton Field*.
E. S. Tucker, government entomologist
from the Delta laboratory, IT.
8. department of agriculture, Tallulah,
La., was a recent visitor to Fort
Mill. While in this community Mr.
Tucker Inspected a number of cotton
fields In his work of tracing ilio migration
of the boll vyccvU in the
Southeast and afterward reported
that he hud found no weevils here.
He added, however, that the insect
was still migrating and might yet
reach this community before the cold
weather of the fall set in. It is the
hahlt of the weevil, Mr. Tin ker added,
to migrate in the early fall in
search of food before the cold drives
It into winter quarters. He is certain
that sooner or luter the boll weeyl!
will reach this section in force and
will do great damage to the cotton
crop.
Farmers of this section who i*nd In
their fields Insects they believe to be
the boll weevil arc invited to send
specimens to The Times office for
Identification.
