Alabama and Washington are follow ing the Texas idea and erecting cot tages for the teachers of the rural 'schools. The idea is to do away with the old and never satisfactory plan of “boarding ’round,” a relic of pioneer days. In Texas the Ichool directors tract these cottages near the school house and one county has six of them. In one town the citizens bought the land and erected the house by public aubecription. This place has six acres of land around it. in other places the teachers have five and six room cot- tea, lire together on the co-operative Plhh and hire a woman to do the house work. Texas has over 100 teachera cottage. The plan gives the teachers a chance for privacy and a touch of home life that is lacking under the system in vogue in other places. It is bltely that the plan will continue to extend until there is a teacher s oottage in every school district. Th« American Lagioa. The American Legion is an organiza tion trying to get into communication with, enlist the help of and secure the cooperation of those men scattered throughout the country who would come to the defense of their country in ease of war. It is a movement which deserves the success with which it has met, because, in case £f war, it could • be of the greatest assistance. Men who t have had training in the regular army | in the states' militia or in civil life, and f who would volunteer in case of war, should be located, registered and kept in communication with each other. The American Legion is simply an . organization that will assist the govern ment in case of need. It asks neither state nor national aid, financially or otherwise. . Teacher.’ Examination.

It is estimated that 2,000 acres were sown in wheat in Barnwell County last fall, as compared with 30 acres in 1910. This is a splendid step, in the right direction and if followed up will make the farmers of this section independent of the cotton speculators. We believe we would feel better if we could get that Spring poem out of our system, but really we haven’t the energy to make the start. And what has become .of the old- fashioned farmer who used to bring the editor a bunch of crisp “sparrow grass” about this time o' year? It took the Keowee Courier a half- column to discuss “our greatest need,” whereas we can sum it up in our word •—money. * Well, you have been wishlhg for the belmy day* of Spring, so why complain of that tired feeling?
