News and Laws Relating to Schools
and Trustees of Kershaw County
The superintendent of education ii
under obligations to The Camden
Chronicle for the use of this spact
in order to get the following information
to the trustees of the schools
of the county. The paper this week
will go into the homes of every trustee
and it is the hope of the superintendent
that trustees t.will gather
gainful information from it:
In the annual report submitted to
the State Department of Education,
the following figures are given:
Total white enrollment for the
school year 1992-33: ;
Elementary 3,263
High; rr.. 743
Total 4,011
Negro Elementary 5,226
Negro High 263
Total 6,480
Average attendance of the Elementary
White pupils 2,540
High 638
Total 3,187
Total white teachers employed 146,
Of the 3,268 white children 'enrolled
in the elementary grades 644
were dropped from the rolls during
the school year.
The grand total of all receipt* for
school purposes, $287,205.
Grand total of all expenditures,
$260,668.
Cash balance, $27,727.
It is a source of much gratification
that air districts of Kershaw county
closed the year with a cash balance.
There are three or four districts that
still have outstanding claims that will
have to be carried over ufitil collections
are made, but the satisfactory
condition of the school districts in
Kershaw county is due in a large
measure to the fine cooperation of
the trustees and patrons during the
past two years.
An eight months' program was
carried out in all of the high schools
of the county but one, this was an
undertaking that required the fullest
cooperation from parents and pupils
with the teachers and trustees, but
the seriousness of the situation was
fully realized, and the shortened
school term in months was taken care
of by increased hours of daily teaching
wheTeby it is hoped that the
courses have been completed and a
sufficient savings in finances accomplished
to justify the change.
Bids for transportation on 16 buses
are to be received by the County
Board of Education and Board of
Trustees Thursday, August 24th.
(i These bid# are in district* that do
not own their own buses. There are
I fourteen buses owned: by the districts
' which makes u total of thirty school
'buses used for transportation in Keri
shaw county. An average of 964?
children were carried to school by
means of transportation.
The Baron I>*Kalb school has enjoyed
three years of successful operation.
The school was consolidated
in 1930 by the uniting of seven rural
districts containing a total of 138
square miles. The %chool began the
first year with eight teachers, two
others being added during the year.
The school has gradually grown so
that the services of twelve teachers
are needed in the system. Eight
teachers are emplo^d in the grammar
school and four in the high school
department. Several of those now j
employed have been with the school
since it was consolidated.
llie teaching staff of the school
as announced for the session l|933-34
include in the grammar school Misses
Sophie, Richards of Liberty Hill,
Minnie iBreedlove of Rowesville, Virginia
l>eLoach? of Camden, Estelle
Gramling of Orangeburg, Lora Chapman
of Pelzer, Viva McLeod of Camden
and Carrie Yarbrough of Bethune.
The high school teaching
force is the same as for last session
which includes Miss Inez Bell of"
JKcrshaw and Miss Sara Bruce of
Camden, J. K. Lee, Jr., of Lugoff and
W. A. Mason, Jr. At the beginning
of the first year five large buses
brought the children into the school.
Another was added the same year.
"During the past session still another
was needed. With the system of
transportation now afforded the
school area, no child has to walk more
than two miles to one of the bus
routes. Because of the satisfaction
rendered in the Baron DeKalb school
area the transportation record has
gained statewide notoriety. This
satisfaction comes as a result of the
bus drivers' efforts ana the hearty
cooperation of the patrons of tha
school with the school board.
An act passed by the Kershaw
county delegation created a county
board of education, consisting of four
members with the county superintendent
of education. The new board
\as commissioned is Mr. J. T. Robs,
Blaney; Mr. J. A. McCaskill, Bethune;
Rev. J. B. Caston, Camden; and Mr. ;
I. J. McKenzie, Camden. The new
board with the county superintendent
plans to visit every school district In
the county in the near future and
familiarize themselves with the I
schools of the county.
A complete list of the trustees of
Kershaw county is given elsewhere in
this paper. These trustees have been
duly elected and commissioned under
the following act of the general as*
aem'bly. All trustees are urged to

Private vs. Public
Control of Forests
t is freely admitted' that undar
private ownership much of the forest
lands of the United States have been
devastated and that little or no attempt
has been made to bring- it back
to a state of productiveness. As to
the remedy, however, we are far
from agreement Under our constitutional
guarantee the private owner
cannot be dispossessed of his property
or restricted in the use of same
without proper compensation. It
therefore follows that the private individual
must be compensated by
some form of subsidy, if he is required
to manage his property for
the public interest, or if the public
insists on the exercise of complete
control, it must purchase the prop-'
erty at a fair price and assume entire j
responsibility. The public In thir
case may (be the state or federal
government.
The only excuse for public control
is to safeguard public interests which,'under
private control are suffering,
or will suffer. Under present conditions
timber growing is profitable to
the private owners only on the more
favorable sites, and wherever there
is reasonable prospect of the private
owner working out the problem within
a reasonable time, it is far better
that he be undisturbed in his rights
than be subject to federal or state!
domination.
On the other hand, there are large
areas of forest lands on mountain
wateraheds?where timber ia the only
crop that can be grown, but upon
which, under present conditions, timber
growing is not proftta/ble and
therefore not practicable for the private
owner. These lands frequently
have values for watershed protection
and for recreational public benefits
upon which the private owltor cannot
realise, but which are of sufficient
value to the public, in addition to
timber growing, to justify public ownership
purely as an economic mea-;
sure.
<Such areas no not, in the aggregate,
represent a large part of the
total forest acreage, and with the rapid
advance of private and industrial
forestry practice the areas oyer
which public ownership is necessary
can be very much reduced over the
estimates made some years ago. In
fact, if adequate Are protection and
fair taxation, both of which are a
public function, were provided, much
of the non-productive forest land in
private ownership would become productive
and the forestry problem, to
a considerable extent, solved without
public ownership.?iCharles W. Nuite,
County Forester.

Use el Rape
Rape is an annual, very succulent
plant belonging to the same family
as the collard and having much the
same habit ?f growth. It grows well
only during cool weather, bearing sever?
frosts without injury but lan* ,
guishing when hot weather comes.
It is especially desirable for cattle, !
sheep and hogs and is usually pasturised.
It should be sown as early
in the fall as the nights become cool,
or about September, andi will then be
ready for girasing in six to eight
weeks. Later sowings will furnish
grazing until late winter and very
early spring sowing will give late .
spring feed. It is seldom profitable
to sow rape later than April 1. It
should be sown on a rich soil such as
would .be used for growing cabbages,
planting in drills, so that it can, be
cultivated at least once, and 3 to 5
pounds of seed should be used per
acre. The variety known as Dwarf
Essex is the best for general use.
Oattle and sheep should be grated
carefully at first, as overeating is
liable to cause bloating, and dairy
otvs should be grazed on it only soon
after milking, as when grazed just
before milking the rape is likely to
give the milk an unpleasant flavor.
Hogs may be grazed on it indefinitely
without danger of injury.
It U also good food for people,
cooked and used similar to turnip
tops and other greens, advises County
Agent Henry D. Grelen.
