SUTE'S SCHOOLS Mil BEHIND Continued From Pa^e One “One of the best of these schools is Lewiston. Lewiston is a, town with about GOO inhabitants. When the con solidation was made four country disc ed school is notv about thirteen years old. There are in the school ten teachers; four are in the elementary grades and the others are itvthe hig.. school or are special teachersV There are, 136 pupils in the eight elemen tary grades and 75 in the high school. It is observed, therefore, that the en rollment in the high school classes is about the same as the'enrollment in of the building. * “For the support of this school the State supplies out of the State school fund and the Stateone-mill tax $6 for every pupil that" attends school forty days. In addition the- State pays the transportation costs up to a maximum of $2,000, for the teaching of agriculture* $1,000 and $500 for the consolidation. The district special levy for ordinary support is fourteen mills on an assessment of approxi mately $700,000.

Nowhere, however, was there an indication that they are pay ing grudgingly. "The most expensive school plant visited was at Okabena. This building cost $65,000.

The teacher school conditions very few of building was erected by a bond issue. those high school pupils would have had high school advantages; About half the pupils enrolled at Lewiston are hauled in the four transportation wagons, and the greatest distance that any pupil travels is five miles. In the elementary grades the pupils are thoroughly taught; and in the high school in addition to English, history and mathematics, subjects found in every high school, science is well taught with laboratory' equip ment, and special teachers are pro vided for domestic science, sewing; manual training and agriculture. • A splendid equipment for the success ful teaching of agriculture was found. It was strange to a South Carolina visitor to learn that no Latin was taught in this school. The school building at I^ewiston was erected when the consolidation was made. While it affords good class-room and laboratory accommodations, it is not now large enough to supply every demand of the school and communi ty as a community center. Plans are It accommodates an enrollment of 147 pupils pud six teachers. In .ad dition to the expense of carrying these bonds,'the people have voted a special district tax of twenty-ong mills for school support. Houses of the kind pt Okabena are erected for the consolidated schools in the oper country. Such a one was visited at Petersburg ten miles from the rail road station. In addition to the school buildings the people at Petersburg have erected a $7,000 modern home greatly to the cost of the Minnesota school houses. Nearly all these buildings are designed to combine a gymnasium and auditorium. The gymnasiums have correct proportions which provide for basket iball and other forms of indoor play. These rooms are found on the ground floor. Moveable chairs 'make it possible to use the gymnasium .as an assembly room and for general community purposes. This is a plan of a con struction that''might well be imitated in our section. "The character of the instruction Fbr Sale—300 bushels pure Mexican big boll Cotton Seed at $1.50 per bu.
