Knight’s Record OF PUBLIC SCHOOL WORK AT GRANITEVILLE, S. C. (Reproduced from The State, June 11,^1916) Aiken, June 11.—After 22 years of faithful service, during which period the Graniteville Academy has grown from a common country^ school to a splendid public school of ten grades, the Rev. Graves L. Knight-has given up his work at Graniteville and, to the regret of the people not only of Graniteville but throughout Aiken county, will later locate at Laurens. Mr. Knight did not apply for reelection this year as principal of the Graniteville Academy. The trustees, however, reelected him, but he declined to accept It was in the fall of 1894 when the Rev. Graves L. Knight first became principal of the Graniteville Acade my. The school then had less than 100 pupils, and there were only two other teachers in addition to the principal. Under Mr. Knight’s able and efficient supervision, the school has been graded through the tenth grade, or, in other words, a three year high school course is now pro vided. During the last session nine teachers were em ployed, the enrollment being 400. For the past five or six years Mr. Knight has been superintendent of both the Graniteville and the Vaucluse schools. At Vaucluse there was during the last session a total enrollment of 150, the pupils in the higher grades of that school being taught at Graniteville. This was the first school in the State to adopt the system of trans porting pupils from one school to another, a large truck being used for the purpose. For four years the Rev. Graves L. Knight served on the State board of edutation and for many years he has served Aiken county most efficiently as a member of the ' T Te is now on this h w ; s and universities, many of them winning scholar ships in competitive examinations. Particularly do the people of Graniteville, where Mr. Knight has lived for so long a time, feel the loss his re moval from their midst will mean. At the commencement exercises of the Granjteville Academy, held Thursday of this week, members of the board of trustees and citi zens paid tribute to Mr. Knight and his untiring interest and efforts expended in building up the school on its firm and solid foundation, an achievement which will re main behind him and evidence his ability as a splendid organizer, an able executive and an excellent school super- ihtendent. In addition Mr. Knight is loved in Granite- vilJe and in Aiken county for himself. He is a high toned Lhnstian gentleman and has for long had the respect and the esteem of the people. Two years ago J. E. Swearingen, State superintendent of education, writing to one of the members of the board of trustees of the Graniteville Academy, stated that the high school enroUment at that school was the best re ported from any manufacturing town in the Stat£ the average attendance being 70 per cent. The State super intendent of education inquired what conditions helped to make this feature of the school such a splendid suc cess. He was informed that the credit was all due to the superintendent; that Graves L. Knight and his peculiar ability produced the condition which made for success. KKJ« YEARS msT ,W,E.
