HE USES HIS WIFE'S EYES.
Walter McDonald, Georgia's Youngest
Legislator, is Totally Blind.
When the members of the next
legislature meet in Atlanta there will
be one among the number who, aside
from being the youngest member of
the general assembly, will be the
cause of much interested comment.
He is only 24 years old and he is
blind.
Walter R. McDonald, representative
from Richmond county, is the
legislator suffering from this handicap.
But McDonald has demonstrated
that it will require more of a
handicap than lack of years and eyesight
to bring about defeat for him.
^ ^He is a youngster of ability and determination,
which was demonstrated
when he defeated ten aspirants
for the position he now holds,
t Since early boyhood McDonald has
been blind. When a small boy McDonald
was caught taking watermelons
from a farmer's field. Somebody
fired and the bird shot struck
the boy full in the face, destroying
forever his sight.
McDonald, undaunted by his handicap,
announced that he was going
to study law. He first went to the
blind academy at Macon; three years
later he was at Overbrook, Pa., then
at Brown .(preparatory) college in
Pennsylvania; then he was admitted
to the' Georgia State university and
* from that institution he graduated
in 1914.
"How did I manage it? Why, I
arranged for my roommate to study
aloud. I learned my lessons while
he studied," McDonald says.
McDonald began to practice in
1914, and in 1916 he added the winning
element to his life, for he took
a wife. Since his marriage his blindness
has proved less of a hardship
than ever, for Mrs. McDonald, a
|s / bright little woman, sees both for
herself and her husband. She is
going to Atlanta with him when the
legislature meets. She is to studylaw
there and seek admission to the
bar also. She will be admitted without
a doubt, for she is already well
versed in the law, which makes her
the greatest kind of help to her husband
in the practice of the profession.?Augusta
Chronicle.
Superfluous Grit.
During a particularly nasty dust
storm at one of the camps a recruit
ventured to seek shelter in the sa(
cred precincts of the cook's domain.
After a time he broke an awkward
silence by saying to the cook:
"If vou Dut the lid on that camp
kettle you would not get so much
of the dust in your soup."
The irate cook glared at the intruder,
and then broke out:
"See here, me lad. your business
is to serve your country."
"Yes," interrupted the recruit,
"but not to eat it."?Tit-Bits.

VISITED COl/XTY SCHOOLS.
State Sujieivisor of Rural Schools
HisrUy Commends County.
Prof. Lueco Gunter, State supervisor
of rural schools, recently spent
two days in Bamberg county on an inspection
of the rural schools of the
county. In a report to the county
superintendent of education. Prof.
Gunter highly praises the school system
of the county. Under date of
January 13, lie writes as follows:
For many months the State supervisor
of rural schools had been look
'ins: forward to the time when he
should have the pleasure of visiting
some of the country schools of Bamberg
county. The past week this opportunity
came and two days in your
schools were greatly enjoyed. The
State supervisor would have been
glad to have a longer time to visit in
the county but two days in a small
county like Bamberg gave him as
good insight into the school situation
as a week in many other counties
would have given. Some of the
schools of Bamberg county have
made great progress in the past few
years. Schools of the type of Hunter's
Chapel, Colston, and Oak Grove
are the kind to which country people
will have to look for thorough instruction
for their children. Such
schools in many other sections are
not possible on account of the spareness
of white population.
"The first day the State supervisor
visited the following schools: Midway,
Hydiga, Sandy Run, Edisto, and
Hunter's Chapel. Midway is a small
one-teacher school with a comfortable
school building and good worfc in
progress. With the small enrollmenl
and no pupils further advanced than
the present most advanced class it is
possible for the teacher to do thorough
work in all the grades. Advanrprl
instruction at Midway would
I necessarily depend on a larger schoo
and a larger teaching Torce.
"Hydiga is another one-teachei
school. The enrollment here is much
larger than at Midway and is, in fact
approaching two-teacher needs. Th(
schoolhouse is not so comfortable af
some other schoolhouses in the coun
ty and it occurred to the State supervisor
of rural schools that the people
of the Hydiga community might earlj
plan for the erection of a two-teachei
house looking to the early employment
of two teachers in the school.
"Sandy Run was next visited. This
is a very small one-teacher school nol
j far from the Colleton county line
! The school last year had a total enI
rollment of only 12. Such an enrollment
enables the teacher to impart
thorough instruction to everj
pupil. High school work of an ad
vanced type and a pronounced schoo
spirit, however, are impossible ir
such a school. The building at Sandy
Run is not in keeping with th(
demands of modern instruction. Wit!
a small but modern building, comfort
ably furnished, the school at Sandj
Run would he in as satisfactory condition
as could be expected for a one
teacher school.
"Edisto is a one-teacher school ir
the same district with Sandy Run
This school is fortunate in having z
college man of the community as
teacher. It has, therefore, a teachei
interested not only in the school bul
interested in the community welfare
At the same time, the school secures
home talent of preparation thai
would be impossible if the teachei
had to be imported. Good schoo
work is being done at Edisto. The
building is not modern in design anc
arrangement but is altogether a comi
fortable schoolhouse.
"Hunter's Chapel -was the nexi
school visited. This community hac
the misfortune last year of losing z
splendid modern building by fire. The
foresight of some fire insurance anc
some excellent community spirit have
ihade possible a building that is larger
and better than the former house
Their present building is a thoroughly
modern, three-room structure, substantial
in construction and neat ir
finish. It is adequate to the demands
of any country school the size of Hunter's
Chapel. This school is fortunate
in having some teachers that are al
home in the community. While in
terested in best serving the pupils o1
the school, they are at the same time
interested in everything that helps
the community which is their home
and in which they live.
"Effort was made to reach the
Camp Branch school. This schoo
had closed, however, before the supervisor
arrived.
"Sandy Run, Edisto, and Camp
Branch are all in the same district
A condition of this kind usuall}
works a financial hardship on the
school districts in that the district itself
draws State aid and not the
schools. Where it can be maintained
one white school to the district is the
ideal.
"Wednesday the following schools
were visited. Hampton. Clear Pond
Oak Grove. St. John's, and Colston
Hampton is a one-teacher school witl"
a small enrollment in a new oneteacher
building. This school is ?
consolidation but with the consolidation
the enrollment is so small that
the teacher can do thorough work
with all the children. The supervisor
found a new teacher in charge of this
school but the work was progressing
in a highly satisfactory manner. The
building is neatly finished, but unfortunately
was not erected in accordance
with the State plans and it does
not. therefore, conform to the
modern requirements of a schoolhouse.
"The next school visited was Clear
Pond. At one time this was a large
school but it is now a one-teacher
school with a small enrollment. The|
is wnrkine under comfortable
| conditions and the pupils have possi-!
bilities of thorough instruction with
the small enrollment that are not to;
be found in a larger school. There;
cannot be. however, the school spirit!
that exists in larger schools.
"Oak Grove is a two-teacher school'
in a two-teacher building erected in;
accordance with the State plans, with |
the details carefully looked after.!
The enrollment of this school is notf
quite sufficient to enable the school i
to qualify as a rural graded school (
under the rural graded school law. j
With the thorough work that is be- i
ing done and with the splendid equip- j
ment possessed by the school the time |
will likely soon come when this can
be a riiral graded school organized i
under the State law, receiving $200
1 rural graded school aid.
"From Oak Grove the supervisor!
went to St. John's. This school was;
found in a new building, comfortable;
and substantially erected. The old
building had been destroyed by fire.!
Upon arrival the State supervisor felt i
that this school already was in need
k!
of two-teacher accommodations. The:
1 enrollment is large and the number j
" of classes such that thorough instruc-j
i i
tion is impossible. No one can realize
this more than the interested and
hard-working teacher who was found
j | in charge of the school. Preparations j
I ought soon to be made in this com-;
munity for this school to become a!
State aided rural graded school. Thej
State supervisor made an effort to
1 reach the Camp Hill school, but upon
' his arrival he found the school closecfi
for the day.
"On the return tc Bamberg, Colston
school was visited. This school
is a rural graded school which is the
' result of consolidation. The building
is modern in design, and arrangement,
substantially constructed and'
well finished. The enrollment and |

51 gave every appearance of thorough :
i organization and excellent management.
Colston is the type of school
that is bringing to country children
all over the State advantages that
were a few years go impossible in
most of our country districts.
"The State supervisor greatly enjoyed
his visits to these schools and
1 will be pleased to visit other school^
in the county with the earliest oppor- j
tunity. He is highly appreciative of
the many kindnesses shown him by i
the teachers and the pupils with every
visit."
