Richards Was Chief Speaker , At a meeting of the Kershaw j Ccurty Tcacheis' Association held in ( t'airciii cn January 10th, the topic for dU'.'UMicn was, "The Relation* ship of the Teacher to the Cymmunity." Tin? chief speaker for the , morning'was Mr. J. CI. Richards/Jr., superWtemier.t of the <^rhden city | school*. 'Mr. Richards began his ad:, j dress by acquainting the'members of * vhe association with the fact that, ! at a mass meeting held at the county ( courthouse on January 8th, the subject of salary reduction of teacher3 \ was discussed. He said that staunch friends defended the teachers and , prevented the passage of a resolution , instructing the county delegation to vote for a 26% reduction in teach- , era' salaries'. Howeyer, Mr, Rich- , ards expressed hia?l?ope and belief that if a reduction ahfculd come, the memhers of the Inching 'profession will accept the ty4,'(g;$cefully, iMr. Richards advanced as reasons for this proposal in salary reduction: The present financial depression, the (failure of some teachers to prove themselves (worthy of their present salaries, the lack, of vjsiblo evidence of the value of schools, the luck of interest on the part of teachers in the political and civic affairs ,of their communities, the failure on the part of many to become active working units in their communities. Practical suggestions, very timely at this season of financial depression were made !by Mr, Richards. In brief they were: * That teachers sell their schools to the communities in which they work. That they work harder than ever to make themselves indispensible. That they increase the enrollment during the months of January and February. That they arrange the opening and closing hours to suit the patrons. That they establish and maintain a sympathetic attitude toward pntronx. , That they evince interest in and take an active pant in the political, civic and religious affairs of their communities. Mr. Richards closed his address by repeating his wish that the right thing be done and by requesting the teachers of the county (to use their energies and to exert their influence to secure, not 'high salaries, but jut*-, bice. {,. a \t. r . tj 1 v , /- Y p c v 3^^ ~ The Young People's Christian Union of Camden will meet at the Wateree Baptist church Friday, daniVftPy' ?'P- m- There is important :bu?luws to be transacted.
