SUTE'S SCHOOLS

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. The spedial district
tax at Lewiston was the lowest of any

‘Tn^ general plan these buildings
are not superior to our good country

character of the construction and the

and clear khowledge of the subject

formulated definite plans for the
teaching. The result was that the

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

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.

STOMACH TROUBLE
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while 1 suffered with stomach trouble. 1 would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If 1 ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. I began fo have
regular sick headache. 1 had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were
no good at all for my trouble. I heard
