PAPER NO. 3. BY »*IU)P. WILLIAM 1L HAND. mmmm Short Sch(K>l Torms—A«< luts al ready boon noted, the averafr irnptti of the white schools of the i^tate last year was less than six months. To be exact, the average for the town and rural schools was 117 days; the defects In our sclwoh' buildings are small class roenis, low ceilings, in sufficient windoe space, wTndows net in front and to th<; right of the pu- rural schools alone 110 days... While this is a better showing than we made a Aery few years ago, still our schools are in session a. little less than two-thirds of our own standard school year of ISO days, or nine months. In other tvosda. the white people of ; the State are giving their children less than two-thirds of the schooling which they declare a child ought to have. Here again is a lack of school funds, which our people, I insist, are able to provide In many rather thickly settled and prosperous dis tricts the schools close after six or seven months because the funds arc exhausted, yet not a dollar of local school tax is collected. I know districts with from 50 to 60 white children, which depend upon the pittance of $3u0 to $325 to run their schools. v is It reasonable to expect such a district to keep its school open or to keep com potent teachers? In some of these very communities I have been told, with a tinge of re sentment, that the schools are better than those to which the fathers and mothers went. That may be true, and It may also be true that these same fathers and mothers are hewers of wood and drawers of water to day, simply because they are unable to cope with those who have been better schooled. He is a very dis- picalde parent who Is willing to wlthold schooling from his child on the ground that Ire himself had few or no advantages. However, short school terms are by no means entirely due to lack of money. Strange as it may seem, there are many districts-which clos< their schools at the end of six, five and even four months, with half as much money left In the county treas ury as they spent on their schools 1 know schools which have to their } not credit enough nfoney to run them twice as long as they have been run any year within the past five. In fact, some entire counties are mak Ing what the officials call a good financial showing, at the expense of the school children. For Instance FtoreBee-countv had on band. .1 une pils when seated., tops of the win dows too far fro<n the celling, jioor heating, ond poor ventilation. These defects are found in the town build ing and in the rural buildings. '*'<* have^some excellent school honses. AAiong *ha- larger towns the buildings in T'loreuc’e.

George and Suinnmrton. ilelto/f, UrnnsoM. Chebterflelo. Fountain Inn. Manning and Seneca <;»ch will soon have a new building of modern type. On the other hand, .some of Up towns have very i>oor huildings. There are in this State Jour towns whose taxable property combined was returned lust year at $1,100,000. in round figuixts, and wluose four school houses for white children would not w*ll at auction for inor«; than $l,5oo. Of course these build ings cost much more that their pres ent value, but they-are almost wortii- less to-day as school houses! In these same towns are beautiful homes, good stores, good banks, at tractive phnrehes, and t^yen good baijfk for the-horses awl cattle. Can the citizena of thetw* plttces make themselves believe that they are not discounting schools? They caa not -make other people believe It, | am sure. . The rural school houses are rela tively Inferior to'those In the tow na Many of?them are little better than dingy sheds, unpainted. tigly in «p- tteafanee, imorly lighted, poorly Insated. and miserably equipped. Mopy of tIpse houses are ceiled—on the walls or overhead When they are ceiled, hat overhead is often so low that the tallest boys can reach It with their heads. ' Not one building in three has eudugh window- space properly distributed. The windows are small and placed equidistant from tin- floor and celling. It is no inrommon thing TO find -a roam of children sitting with their facer toward one, and even two, open win dows, while the room at their batks is comparatively dark. In 1905, Up state Superintendent of Education Issued a pamphlet - giving designs for modern whool houses, whudr has done much towards improving th-ir 'harncter. Very few of our schools art equipped^as th«v should be. JIuu dMxIs of good d--sks have been pui in within Up* past five years, but then are yet scores of school houses teat •d with the must ofnmsy and un sightly- and uncomfortable desks known to suffering backs and lim -s The blackboards art* too few in number, made of the cheapest mate rial, and the surface Is no Ion-<■ i/lack. In many of our school rooms is not seen a map or a eiiait rom September to June. Even ’he .famous charts have been rele gated to some closet of plund-T.

It was cruel irony that the Inmibs 30. 1907, a ha lance of $35,83 S to the credit of the school fund, while she had spent only $27,050 on hei schools that year. In other words the schools had flt the close of th* scholastic year a balance of $8,78.' more than the entire cost of Up schools that year. Financially' that may be a good showing; how is it educationally? Let us see: Flor cnee coiyity kept her white schools open Inst year six months; she paid her teachers an average of $2 5*1 i year; she gave each white teaehei an average of 36 pupils to tench Chester county makes hut little bet ter showing. She kept her white schools open seven mid one-fourtb months, paid her white teacher* au average of $296 a year, and gave.each teacher au nverage of 31 pupils to teach. Yet Chester county- closed these schools with a balance larger than the total expenditure that yeffV. I believe In running Up- schools strictly on n cash basis, -vnd I know It is necessary to doe the enough balance to run the schools until the next fax collection has been made. But. is It sound busi ness or common sense to cut off tho school y«j»r, pay beggarly sata- , ries, and give each teacher too many t pupils to teach, in order to show a money >nrlanee? Of course under e»*^ policy our school Imurds can boast of having money on hand. As I see it. we hifve more need for mon ey on the children. A man e'ould doubtless make a fortune on a salary * of f5«Q a year, if he were to go ' naked and hungry, and keep all hiv eorninaa at ten per cent compound Interesf; but what would he be get ting? After all, do our people wish to keep the schools open nine months in the year? Repeatedly I lmv*Uuul fathers (mothers very rarely) op pose the attempt to lengthen t|p‘ir school beyond six months. Theft contention is that the children ear not he spared from tip-farms and the mills for a longer period. Ex cept In case of vxtrer \ poverty in _ ♦he homos of very unfortunate people, this argument means nothing less than that the child fs looked upon as a bread-winner. 1 The I'nrf- ' cut Is cither too short-sigbfeti" oi too selfish to give liis'diirif. the o)> portnuity to become even a bread winner. save in Up- humblest call ings.
