Hock I Itu Herald.
nual report of MIhm Mary Kva Kite,
president of the South Carolina School
Improvement Association, submitted
to that organization at the regular an
imal meeting which wa? held lu con
nection with the State Teachers' As
soclatlon In Florence :
Ke|x>rt>< were mode by congressional
districts, And the report of thin dis
trict should he Interesting to tho |uh>
ple of thin county :
From Miss IJlte's report It In found
that she ho* spent from 8 day* to 2
weeks In each of 27 oouutlea visiting
schools with the county aufierlntendent
of education, the *ui>enrlslng teacher,
or the county organizer. In the 27
counties, she ha M visited 301 schools or
school communities. From the list of
?ountles. visited, It Is neon thnt she has
s|>eut a week In each county In thlH
district.
The report further says: "I feel
safe In saying that fully two-thirds of
the schools observed Clean-Up Day,
but only 21) counties reported It. Thieru
ore only four counties that reported
the observance- In every school in the
county. We are pleased to And Ker
shaw one of the four. Six <tt{$e" coun
ties sent In reports from all schools
except a very few, and in that list we
find Lancaster County."
The following imragrapli Is iwrttcu
larly interesting*
"Wo feel sure that we have at least
700 h>cal associations In the state, but
It has been lmjiossihle for me to get
certified rejiorts from that number.
Since the 1st of January 1 have tried
to get reports from each local organ
ization, but so far 422 have re|>orted.
From these rei>orts we find that we
have 10,130 members who have held
1,009 meetings since April 1914. These
organizations have rulved and spent
$10,099.84 In the l>etterme?t of schools
since that time."
TJie following Is the detailed re
| port for the fifth district of which
| Miss Leila Russell is a committee
member :
Cherokee county, Miss Marlon Mor
trail, organizer: 5 associations 148
members, 15 meetings. $150.00.
Chester county, Miss Esther Strong,
organizer: 9 associations. 218 mem
bers, 2? meetings. $140.00.
Chesterfield county, Miss Alexlna
lOvnns. organizer' 10 associations, 810
members, 27 meetings. $508,81.
Fairfield county. Miss Annie A.
Hamilton, organizer; 0 associations,
90 members, 19 meetings, $73.50.
Kershaw county. Miss Kate Simpson
organizer; 10 associations, 150 mem
bers, '55 meetings, $700.
Lancaster county, Mrs. W. K. Tay
lor. organizer; L'O associations, 750
members. 72 meetings, $000.57.
York county. Miss Leila Russell, or
ganizer ; 5 associations. 209 members.
21 meetings. $105.85.
Total for district. 05 associations,
1911 members, 231 meetings. $2,242.23.
The work in each county in this dis
trict Is worthy of particular note. As
Miss Kussell. the very earnest and en
ergetic committee member through
whose efforts this report was submit
ted. says : "Looking at this from the
stand{x>int of dollars and cents, the
work Is not insignificant. But when
we consider that these jieople are
working in hearty co-operation for the
development not merely of the school
but of all institutional life in the dis
trict, we must realize that It gives
promise of the regeneration of the dis
trict. intellectually, socially and econo
mically."
SjH'cial mention must be made of
(the work in Lancaster county, which
lis of only two years duration. The
[figures given above show just how an
earnest teacher can and will develop
the work through corresjiondence.
Mrs. Taylor teaches in the Lancaster
school, hut she has found time some
how and somewhere to have 20 local
'Associations sending in regular month
ly reports. The county board and
county su|K?rintendent of education
hove -been particularly co-operative, as
have all similar boards and officials in
this district
