Laurens, S. C., Nov. 26 (Special)—
State Superintendent of Education
J. E. Swearingen who made a tour of
parts of the county, during the first
week of the month with County Supgr-
IntondiBt >1 BtOiieatien'n? ^'Wllswr
has written il>e following letter to
Mr. Wilson, glvirg his Impressions of
Ms visit;
Having spent November fifth, sixth
and seventh with you in your schools,
I am writing you a brief summary of
my Impressions add conclusions. 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.

In one primary class I found twelve
beginners ranging in age from sjx to
fifteen years. 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.

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

State Supt. of Education.
