If you care to use them for the Informa tion of trustees, teachers and taxpay ers, you may do so, * . Wednesday’s Itinerary included Ora, Lanford and Central. Thursday gave me an opportunity to visit Laurens high school, Bailey, Mpuntville, Cross Hill and Pine Grove. Friday took us to Woodrow Wilson, Barksdale, Gray Court-Owings, , Shiloh, Merua and Hickory Tavern. This group of fourteen communities includes high schoolav-furai graded schools and term extension schools. It presents a wide range of building and equipment from the worst to the best pTh^i^COmrniinities represent the for ward looking educational improve ments in Laurens county. Teachlag Corps. It was a pleasure to find a strong, energetic, well selected teaching corps. The trustes of the county are to be congratulated upon their success in opening and op/rating their schools. The shortage of teachers is much more acute in a number of other counties. The volunteers you have pressed in to classroom service possess a fine spirit and good training. The attitude of these teachers Insures good results ■tfc your, telyola. *—>— It was particularly gratifying to find a goodly sprinkling of progressive men. The problems of discipline and of instruction frequently require the masculine touch, especially for boys. But you aer none the less to be con- gratulateed upon your strong women principals. The high school at Cross Hill is particularly fortunate in this respect. Attendance. The enrollment seems to be' unusu ally full in every classroom. The per centage of pupils in regular attend ance was also remarkable. These con ditions are in a large measure due to the State-wide Compulsory Attend- ance Law. — The schools that have employed teachers to take care of this situation properly are to be congratulated up on their action. It Is especially no ticeable that trustees are looking most carefully after their primary grades. This foundation work is fundamental. It is the basis upon which the super- struction of education must be built. More pupils must be held through the fifth, sixth and seventh grades and brought up into the high school before our educational system can accom plish anything like adequate results.

Among the beginning pupils were three children, ten, twelve- and fifteen yars old. They were cap able and'interested. Non-enrollment and non-attendance in by-gone years had robbed them of their inheritance. The Compulsory Law had brought them into school and has rescued the fifteen year old girl from Illiteracy. In another fine community the out side enrollment la*t year was one hundred and twelve. The enrollment already for the current session is one hundred and forty-two. To take care of these thirty additional pupils thfe trustees have been forced to employ another teacher. Taxes and Buildings. . The fine new buildings at Pine Grove and Lisbon and those to be com pleted at Shiloh and Merna are ad mirable types of modern school archi tecture. The use of State plans guar antees proper lighting, ventilation, heating and seating. Careful and in terested workmanship frequently by loqal patrons insures excellent con struction. The County Superintend ent is to be congratulated, especially upon selecting his own home commun ity of Shiloh for a demonstration of his building standards and his build ing program. The citizens of other counties however, will be surprised to learn that in Laurens curtain pa- titions are still found in a few over crowded schoolhouses. Under such conditions neither teachers nor pu pils .can do justice to themselves or their work. .It was a pleasure to learn that the trustees in these com munities are planning " bond cam paigns or tax campaigns to raise money to remedy these evils. Laurens ranks high among the forty-five coun ties In her support of public schools. This support, however, must be great ly increased if a progressive educa tional program is to be formulated and executed successfully.

NOW 2.8Ur"T9S2 DOES THE Law ought to be utilized promptly in at least two dozen districts. This can be done only after the taxpayers and voters of these districts have levied an eight mill tax for school purposes. Classroom Progress. The interest of teachers and the re sponsiveness of pupils must underlie all successful work. Impression and expression should foe the aims of every classroom; repression kills.. Individ ual spontaneity rather than uniform restraint should be the ^“reasonable right of every pupil. Now that the Compulsory Attendance Law has brought boys and girls Into the class rooms. teachers might try to make these classrooms even more interest ing and attractive thamthey have been heretofore. The neglected, backward and physically defective ought to be given sympathetic consideration. The average child will set the standard for the school, because such children are in the majority. Bright pupils should not be given more than their due proportion of time and attention. Talented children usual^ take good care of themselves, provided they are given enough work to keep them busy. In a -few classrooms pupils were struggling with Latin when they did not understand the ordinary English terminology. The chief value of Latin lies in its benefits on the English vo cabulary and composition of pupils. If the teaching of Latin destroys this background, the' instruction is more harmful than helpful. It was a great pleasure to note the universal prosperity and contentment of the people. With a bumper cotton crop and the present prices for cot ton, the farmers of Laurens have u fine opportunity to prepare against the advent of the boll weevil. The road program guarantees the fine highway system. Laurens is ahead of nine- tenths of the counties In this respect. The unstinted hospitality of the folk always makes a visitor feel at home. I look forward with great pleasure to our official and personal association in working with trustees and teachers for the children of the county. I can not close this letter without thanking both you and your attend ance officer, Mr.Taylor, for the many thoughtful courtesies shown me. Yours respectfully * J. E.
