A FORWARD STEP
Looking to School Improvent in
Crescent District.
We mot with the trustees and patrons
of Crescent Bchool In the new district
recently formed, No. 38, to discuss
with them some school improvements
The patrons met Thursday to vote an
additional levy of two mills, making
the levy for this district five, and up
to the time we left there not a vote had
be(?n recorded against it: Wo will
mime of this school this fall a rural
graded school. We now have four
teen rural graded schools, and this
will be the fifteenth one, Each of the
trustees were present, and along with
their neighbors and other patrons of
the school, were In aocord so far as
making certain needed improvements
were conoerned. A new school house
will be erected to take place of the old
one, which is but poorly suited to
school needs. As an indication of the
school spirit manifested on this occas
ion, In a fewj minutes after the matter
had been discussed, 8,500 feet of lum
ber was subscribed, and pledges to do
all the hauling free. With this good
start and the State and County aid that
this school will get a new building is
assured. There were some who were
not present at this meeting, but It Is
reasonably sure they will do their
full part. There are two saw mills in
the community, anu each of them will
do their full part in getting out the
framing We feel very much encour
aged over the prospects for a substan
forward step in school work in this
community,
On our way down to Crescent school

B. A. Bowen. Loft our team and went
with him In his new Maxwell. Our

his home safe and sound. Mrs. Bow

New Chalk Hill School.
The Chalk Hill school in Thorne Hill District, No. 30, is about the
best one-teacher school in Kershaw county. It was completed a short
while before school closed its last session. The class room is large and
convenient, and is built after the State plans. A second story was add
ed which can be used tor meetings of any kind the school may desire to
have and will be used also by the local council Junior Order United
American Mechanics who were very helpful in erecting the building.
Miss Mae E. Truesdel taught this school during the last, session, and was
quite successful. The attendance was very good and the work was
improved methods.
The splendid cooperation given us in this district made it possible to
build this handsome new school building. The patrons of this school
contributed liberally to its erection. They gave all of the framing, haul
ing and in other ways helped out. They proved themselves a set of
real patriotic citizens.
Below we give a picture of the old building, which has now been dis
carded. It is a typical school house poorly provided with ventilation and
equipment. But the day is fast passing when such buildings will be
used for school houses. Within ajyear or so more there will be no such
buildings for our white boys and girls to be educated in, but they will be
given modern school homes, just what they should have.
